I'm sure you're wondering what's next and this is what we're going to do with you:
Actually it was our plan to be one of the first communities to start a championship with Bazza's new AC GTC Legends mod next weekend. But the mod is still in development and we have to wait a little longer for the release.
In the meantime we will do the following.
On Sunday we will start with a 3 week Ford GT 40 Cup. We will see some a American road courses and race at Watkins Glen, Riverside and Sebring.
We have added the following tracks to the GPL calendar: Monza, Zandvoort, Bremgarten, Watkins Glen, Spa, Mexico, Deutschlandring.
The attentive reader will notice that I have only mentioned 7 tracks.
The 2 missing tracks will be selected by the community. One track can be voted by all members and another one by our THR Patreons. I will create polls for this.
Hopefully when the GT 40 Cup is finished we can start the AC GT Legends Championship. If the mod is not available then, we will think of something else.
On 12/12 and 12/19 we will pause the two championships to run two THR 3 year anniversary races.
Race 1 will be a GPL Full length GP in Kyalami.
Race 2 will be a Team Race where two racers will have to team up. (For the race we are still thinking about track and cars.)
After that we will have a short winter break and then finish the two championships.
What do you think, that sounds good for now, doesn't it?
Great battles @Rolf Biber @MüesliYou too @Greg Marrow, great battle!

At the end of the first lap the Safety Car enters the pit. A red indicator shows that you are short before the start of the race. When you cross the start-/finish line the indicator turns to green and we can Go Full Throttle.

if you are the leader, stay behind the safety car
When the field is in formation, Flashor decides to go back into the pits.
A grey indicator shows that he enters the pit at the end of the current lap. When the drivers reach the star-finish line a green indicator pops up and signals that it is allowed to go full throttle again.

This week’s weekday-race will be the Jordan 191 at Spa 88. This week’s suggestion was made by Xoran a long time ago but it fits perfectly now.
The 25th August 2021 marks the 30th anniversary of Michael Schumacher’s F1 debut. The Story around his F1 debut is a special one. Jordan was searching for a driver quickly since their original driver, Bertrand-Gachot, was sitting in jail after attacking a London taxi driver. They choose Michael as he was a Mercedes junior driver and showed promising results. Schumacher qualified on P7, in front of his experienced teammate. What made this more special is that this was the first time he drove at Spa. But his race was short. His Jordan had a clutch failure and he retired the car in the first lap.
But that didn’t matter as other teams were already interested in the young German driver. Thanks to a loophole in his contract, he was able to leave Jordan and switched to Benetton for the next race. After this his career just got started.
Come join us, next week, for a fun race around Spa.
