For the last several years we have run time trials during the Summer Break to keep our drivers entertained.
This year we have decided to do something different and have created a fun championship.
Building on the interest in the Clio Rookie Trophy that Valentin ran as a support series to the TTM last autumn, we have created the 'Toyota AE86 THR Academy'.
This will be used after the summer break on Friday evenings for a fun support series, aimed primarily at any new, inexperienced or improving drivers - although normal members will also be welcome.
For the Summer Cup however the focus is on FUN here over outright racing - as a result we will use the 1980's road compound for the tires. They don't have much grip but you can rescue yourself from some pretty daft angles with much more ease. Going fast also requires a great deal of care and balance, drifting is fun - but it's also not very fast!
As the server will be automated to save on admin both the saturday practice race and the Sunday main event will feature 2x 30 minute races with the second race having a top 10 reversed grid.
Due to the way that server manager works this means qualifying will have to be performed immediately before the races 'on the night'.
I want to thank @fmg.122 for bringing up this idea and his research!
We hope you join us for some summer fun!
