The 2024 season of historic Assetto Corsa simracing at THR started on 21st January 2024 with the biggest endurance race in THR history. An enormous field of 114 drivers from 6 communities shared 48 Prototype race cars from the mid-1960's and embarked on a grueling 6 hour race with two classes around a period-correct representation of the world's most famous endurance race track. Using a quadruple time progression multiplier, participants got a compressed taste of what it would feel like to conduct a 24 hour race.
A huge thank you goes out from the entire THRacing team to our friends and fellow competitors that joined us on track from the following communities:
- Cockpit Racing Simulation (CRS)
- Revival Series (RS)
- VintageAC (VAC)
- Virtual Racing e.V. (VR)
- virtueller Asphalt (vA)
- ... and teams from several other communities who joined on short notice
Our special thanks in particular go to:
- Gero from the Virtual Racing e.V. community (VR) for making the German live broadcast possible, and to Dennis, Guido, Florian and Sebastian from VR for entertaining the German-speaking audience with their awesome German live broadcast with interviews
- Syndicate Motorsports community for stepping in 4 days before the event to make an English live broadcast possible, wherein PirateLaserBeam and King-Kodiak entertained the international audience with a great English live broadcast that even bridged the delay with a hugely creative pre-event coverage, as well as conducting a lot of exciting interviews including the victory lane interviews
- All participants and broadcasters for staying with us throughout the 1:42h delay caused by technical issues before we all finally managed to get underway and had an amazing race together, both on and off the track
- 3DRAP for kindly sponsoring the post-race raffle
ALL OF YOU made this evening special for us!
Yours,
THR Orga Team
