Nordschleife in Germany >>> Mosport in Canada

I had to get from Germany to Canada within a week.
Unfortunately, my boss didn't give me enough money to fly over.

Instead, I had to travel by ship.

On the ship I unfortunately had no possibility to telegraph my report, therefore I can publish the Racereport not earlier than today.

In the last week there were some daring drivers who faced the longest and most dangerous race track of this year's championship.

After 80 minutes of qualifying, the spectators saw two phenomenal races.
There were many remarkable duels. For example, a group of 6 drivers fought each other for a full lap.

In the end, serial winner Mac Sheperd won both races and Vesa Tolonen finished twice on the podium.
Also making the podium were Nat Stevenson and Anthony M Petro, who accomplished this in his first race at THR.

Last Sunday, 23 drivers took on the Green Hell.

In class A we could experience a fantastic fight, whereby the Mercedes could not be beaten.

In class B there were also some high class drivers on the track.
Of course there were also some accidents on the narrow, difficult track. Luckily, all ended without any serious injuries.

18 GPL-Racers fought for victory in Silverstone last Sunday.

In Qualifying many racers were in a really good shape and raced as fast as the cars can be. The lap times were quite balanced.

At the start of both races the spectators again experienced starting accidents, which have become common for our races in the last weeks.

Due to the accidents, some drivers had to catch up in order to gain valuable points for the championship.

In the end, the audience was thrilled by the action they experienced on the track.

24 drivers raced on the old but gold track in Silverstone.

Because the track is not that difficult to drive, the drivers stayed close together for most of the race and there were a lot of duels.

The start of the second race was overshadowed by a big incident short after the start, which mixed up nearly the whole field.

Both the track and Mac knew no mercy in Rouen.

The narrow track and the high curbs penalized every mistake immediately.
Only Mac did not allow herself to be distracted by this and was able to win both races again.

Published on Leave a comment on Exciting duel ends tragically

23 daring drivers competed in the TCL races in Rouen.

The track is narrow and curvy and does not offer much space for overtaking maneuvers.

In Race 1 Nik Likar and Doenerfan fought each other for almost the entire race length.

But then there was a little touch. Nik's car was barely drivable after that and Doenerfan waited for his opponent gentlemanlike not to profit from the situation.
In the end both lost some valuable points in the championship. Nevertheless the duel will remain in the spectators' memories.

Published on Leave a comment on Massive pileup overshadows the races in Spa

Most riders have a love-hate relationship with the roller coaster in the Ardennes at Francorchamps.

The track has many fast straights and curves. Due to the high speeds, however, even small mistakes lead to serious accidents.

Last Sunday exactly that happened. A somewhat optimistic overtaking attempt ended in an accident that took half the field with it.

The final result was mixed up because only a few drivers survived the accident unharmed.

Published on Leave a comment on Difficult decision: Sunny beach or action on the racetrack?

Not only the tourists had to decide between sunny beach and action on the race track in Zandvoort.

Since only 13 drivers took part in yesterday's races, it can be assumed that some of the remaining drivers also stayed on the beach.

Nevertheless, the brave 13 fought for the points for the GPL championship.
