First appearance, first race, first victory for Philip Kraus.
On last Sunday THR started the new AC GT Legends Championship with the race at Imola 1972. 25 drivers in 8 different cars went to the start. Emil Andersson, Maddie Shepherd and Valentin Knechtel started from the first three positions.
Right after the start of the race we had a really big incident. Stefano Zanella lost control of his car due to an technical issue and most of the following cars, were not able to avoid the hazard.
Emil Andersson was able to keep his first position, while Maddie was overtaken first by Philip Kraus and then a little later by Valentin Knechtel.
As Maddie had made a jump start, she received a drive-through penalty, which threw her out of the fight for the lead.
Throughout the race, groups of cars fought against each other. Imola is very fast and requires high concentration of the drivers.
As the race progressed, the lapped cars made made mostly a good job in letting the leaders pass.
On lap 21, Emil spun in the Aqua Minerale and Philip took the lead, which he did not relinquish until the end of the race.
On lap 23, Valentin overtook margar and the first 8 places remained unchanged until the end.
Congrats to the winners and podium finishers of the race!

What a start to the new THR Formula 1 World Championship.
The first race with the 1975 F1 cars took place on the historic 1972 Imola circuit. 22 drivers in 9 different cars went to the start. Maddie Shepherd, Emil Andersson and margar started from the first 3 places.
The first cars got away well at the start, but a big accident occurred in the back field.
After that an exciting race developed.
Throughout the race, groups of cars fought against each other. Imola is very fast and requires high concentration of the drivers.
As the race progressed, the lapped cars made made mostly a good job in letting the leaders pass.
At the end of lap 36 (about 6 minutes before the end of the race) Maddie Shepherd was in the lead ahead of Emil Anderson, margar17, pitman and Nat Stevenson.
And then the race got crazy. Nat Stevenson had chased pitman for about 20 laps and closed the gap. Before it could come to a real duel, pitman made a small mistake and came little sidways out of the Rivazza curve. Nat took the chance and overtook pitman.
1 lap later, a car spun in the Aqua Minerale and Maddie had no chance to avoid the car. The accident damaged her car so much that she had to pit.
In addition, Emil also lost his place because his gearbox was broken due to two wrong shifts.
He also had to pit and Margar took the lead and Nat and pitman moved up to positions 2 and 3.
Then on lap 40 Nat made a small mistake, drove a little too fast into Acqua Minerale and spun. pitman took the chance and got his position back.
2 laps later margar crossed the finish line first, followed 24 seconds later by pitman in 2nd place. Nat secured 3rd place.
Congrats to the winners and podium finishers of the race!

That's why I'm very happy about the popularity of the GPL Championship.

The track in Watkins Glen, which was recreated historically correct by Sergio Loro, is relatively narrow and the high curbs increase the level of difficulty for a race with the GPL cars.
But on Sunday, two exciting races developed.
And Nat Stevenson had a nearly perfect race weekend. After qualifying P2, he quickly moved to the front of the field and dominated the pace.
Thanks again Sergio for bringing the track back to (AC) life.
Congrats to the winners and podium finishers of race 1 and 2!
And many thanks to every participant. It was a pleasure to have you on track! (There are some open incidents which might inflict the results afterwards.)
Yesterday we had the wonderful opportunity to drive on Sergio Loro's new track "Watkins Glen".
The drivers agreed that the races were really fun and that Sergio has once again built a brilliant track.
Shortly to the Livestream: For the first time we show a live TrackMap with the individual positions of the drivers, which provides a very good overview of the race action.
We have also engaged Mark (from Windows) as our new commentator.
Unfortunately the camera settings of the track, which is still under development, are not perfect yet. But this will be fixed for the GPL races next week.
Congrats to the winners and podium finishers of race 1 and 2!
