[THR] is privileged to have @SergioLoro as a member.

A few months ago I told him that we wanted to run a GPL Throwback Championship.
I told him that among other things we will drive his two tracks Zandvoort and Rouen and that the only track we are missing is Watkins Glen.

The track was already available for AC, but unfortunately hardly drivable because it was very bumpy.
I asked Sergio if he could fix the surface. He looked at the track and said it was too much work.
Before I could be sad about it, he quickly added that he would like to build the track completely himself.

And in line with our racing calendar, the track is now ready for us to race on.

60s Watkins Glen

Watkins Glen was in the original Grand Prix Legends back in the days.
I loved the track back then and have always missed it in AC.
So I was really happy when I did some laps on it in the last days.

Watkins Glen is finally back and in perfect Sergio Loro quality.

Phenomenal! Thank you very much @SergioLoro

P.S.: I have set up our Servers THR | 1 | and THR | 2 | with the TCL and GPL cars at Watkins Glen.

Also the registration for both championship raceweekends is open for you:

Dear THR Members,

I have reworked our THR shop.

The new store offers you the following advantages:

More than 150 different products

About 20 predesigned THR sample layouts

Famous simracing phrases to choose from

Hundreds of other designs from the print partner community

Shipping to even more countries
(besides EU now also US, Canada and Australia)

In case of defective products, the printing partner will help.

But the best feature is that you can still design all products the way you like them.
You can use our THR designs, the printing partner's designs, or even upload your own images.

If you need help >>> Just click here or ask in #shop channel in our THR Discord.

Before the race in Mosport [THR] installed a Race Control group, which immediately had a lot of work after the first race weekend.

The members of the Race Control group spent a lot of time evaluating the open incidents and deciding on penalties.

At this point I would like to thank them for the many hours invested!

Hopefully the work of Race Control will help us to have even better races!

Before the GPL race in Mosport THR installed a Race Control group.
This group, which is formed by community members decides about the reported penalties.

The new workflow is like this.

  • Same as before the Indicents will be reported by the affected members via the form.
  • Afterwards the users can give their opinion.
  • The steward group will make a decision based on your opinions.
  • Penalties are created, based on the penalty catalog.
  • The steward group announces the penalties.
  • pitman modifies the championship standings.

From now on, every first lap of a race will be investigated by the Steward Group and, if necessary, Incident Reviews will be initiated.

In addition:
We all understand the Incident Review process as not yet complete. This means that useful changes can always be made to make the process complete at some point.

Our member technoluddite has modified the modern Mosport track and gave us a classic layout, which fits perfect to our vintage races.

The detailed results can be found here:

I think the community liked the winner shirt and the one for the fairest driver we gave away for the Daytona race.

But to be able to do something like this more often, we need some income.

On the one hand we have various monthly costs:

  • server
  • website
  • shop
  • And I myself have recently invested in the streaming computer and the necessary licenses.

On the other hand we have the paypal donations and now and then a sold shirt from our shop.

Beyond that, I see more costs coming in the future:

  • Moving from a rented virtual server to our own physical server.
  • Adding more new racing sims.
  • The ServerManager may also be monetized at some point.
  • And so on.

I want [THR] to be prepared for this and become more "independent."

So I looked at how other communities do it:
There are sometimes monthly fees or entry fees for championships, or big calls to reach donation goals.

But I don't want that for [THR].


Therefore I had the idea to use partner programs.

https://shop.thracing.de/pages/thr-affiliates


On the above page I have set up a few partners.
If you buy products from these partners, [THR] will get a small provision.

If you support us this way, we can reinvest the money in [THR].

Thank you very much in advance for supporting your community!

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.
