Short Teaser – GTR 70´s
Now that GPL is rolling, it's time for a quick teaser of what we'll be racing on the alternate race weekends.
We will give you the details in the next couple days.
THR´s LADA Learner Loop
We have something new for you
So far we offer beside the Weekday Race on Wednesday the Practice Races on Saturday and the Main Races on Sunday.
Some of you have asked us if we can offer something in between that has a low entry barrier.
The Orga Team got together and started the LADA Learner Loop.
(Ok, the name probably could have been cooler 😉 )
The idea is that this is a 24/7 server on which the Lada 2101 and the Lada 2105 are waiting for you in the pit lane.
There will be a 10 minute qualifying session and a 20 minute race in a continuous loop.
The tracks will change weekly.
There will be no fixed race times. Instead we have created a new channel in Discord #lada-learner-loop where you can make appointments for races.
(You might do it via chat, or use doodle or Strawpoll.)
At the end of the week we can also reveal who has set the fastest lap time.
We'll keep track of whether you enjoy the format over the next few weeks.
Feel free to give us feedback on what we can change.
Oh, to not forget this: The servers are open to the public. Maybe this will attract one or the other vintage enthusiast 😉
Let´s have some fun!
Grand Prix Legends Championship VI
It was in 1998 when a Gentleman Gamer enthusiastically told me about his newly purchased race simulation.
I knew instantly that I had to buy Grand Prix Legends the next weekend.
It was so difficult but a blast.
I still have the box from December 1998.
And it's crazy to see the old huge manuals again. There was a booklet called "Four Wheel Drift" in the box. Nearly 100 pages with informations about the 67 Season, tips how to drive the cars and additional hints on the needed Hardware. Brilliant!
A few months later I met Duderei and we started to drive GPL online.
That was a revelation.
Then I started my first GPL league. We raced 2 seasons.
And I still have some of the fights in mind.
In 2018 Bazza and his team released GPL for AC and I decided to start a community to race the cars on a regular basis against well known drivers.
The rest is THR history.
GPL was released on 06.10.1998, which means that we celebrate it´s 25th anniversary today.
And we can´t think of a better day to reveal our next THR championship:

THR F1 1970 Championship: Crossing the Checkered Flag
Our THR 1970 Formula 1 season, was an electrifying battle for supremacy. Over 13 race weekends at diverse tracks, 64 drivers showcased their talents, earning points based on their race performances. This report takes a closer look at the thrilling F1 1970 Championship.
Diverse Race Tracks
The season featured a rich array of race circuits, from the high-speed straights of Monza to the tight corners of Monaco. Each venue posed unique challenges, ensuring a thrilling and unpredictable championship.
The Heroes of the Season
The championship standings were dominated by an impressive group of drivers, led by T Muttram. Muttram secured the title with an outstanding total of 402 points, showcasing consistent performances throughout the season.

Jake Feimster secured the third spot with 339 points, while Pete Bondurant clinched fourth place with 328 points. Carlo Pedersoli rounded out the top five, showcasing his skills with a total of 323 points.
Dramatic Moments
The 1970 season was not without its share of drama. Unpredictable factors, including difficult setup work, the necessity of gentle tire handling, race incidents and many more, added to the excitement and kept our drivers and fans on the edge of their seats.
Looking Ahead
The F1 1970 Championship will be remembered as one of the most thrilling and unforgettable seasons in THR history. It was a testament to the dedication, passion, and competitive spirit of the drivers who gave their all each week in pursuit of victory.
While we eagerly await the upcoming THR championships, we want to thank every driver who participated in the 1970 season. It was a great pleasure to share the track with you.
Provisional Standings
The result of the championship is still provisional - as the decisions of the Race Control are pending - but nothing will change in the podium positions.
First time THR champion
Cause Tim Muttram won a THR championship for the first time, we follow a cherished tradition, which means, that he will receive a product from our THR Shop.

THR Cinematic 2 – Evgeny releases his newest masterpiece – based on THRs F1 1991 championship
We finally experienced it ourselves and Evgeny created an exceptional tribute about it!
The 1991 Formula 1 season took place 32 years ago.
Many of us followed every race back then, got up at night to see drivers like Alesi, Senna, Berger, Piquet, Mansell, Prost, Patrese and Schumacher.
Everyone was thrilled by the drama at the iconic circuits of Spa, Suzuka, Estoril, Montreal, Interlagos, Hockenheim and many more. We would have loved to get into the cockpit and race ourselves, but no one asked!
But in 2022, THR — a community of passionate fuelheads, gentleman drivers, SimRacing enthusiasts who love to race raw, vintage cars — announced the F1 1991 Championship.
And it was time to make up for what we had missed.
A chance to get into the cockpit and immerse ourselves in this amazing era of Formula 1.
The brutality of the cars, the screaming V10s and V12s, the sparks over the asphalt, the tension of the duels.
And THR gave us the opportunity to experience all that.
39 drivers started in the championship and battled each other in 8 races while trying to tame these powerful beasts.
Adamike became the Drivers' Champion, Jayden secured 2nd place and Potatohedron finished in 3rd place.
It was an incredible championship, which now receives an exceptional tribute with Evgeny's video.
It's absolutely fantastic what Evgeny has done with THR´s live video footage.
We are overwhelmed and proud of this cinematic monument!
Thanks to all participants of the championship!
Thanks to the THR Orga Team for making it happen.
And we want to express a special THANK YOU to Evgeny.

Wake Up Call !!!
I hope you had a nice and relaxing summer and are now ready to get back into THR's vintage cars and compete against your opponents on iconic tracks.
This weekend we start off with a bang: The ACL GTC Cars at Fonteny!
As before the summer break, we offer a Casual Cup and a Main Championship. Details can be found in 60s-gtc-announcements in our Discord Server.
But it is also time to have a look back at the time attacks we had during the summer.
It's crazy how many laps you've done in the few weeks at Pikes Peak.
But even crazier are the lap times you've achieved.
Adam Keefe joined THR and drove the fasted lap in both Time Attacks. An incredible 9:07.575 on Tarmac in the Audi Quattro S1 E2 and with the Lancia Delta S4 a stunning 10:38.450 through the Dirt.
In both cases he beat the other finishers by several seconds.
Congratulations!!!
But at least as amazing are the test kilometers you guys drove on the roads of Fonteny. A total of 293 laps were driven, which equates to more than 7,000 km. This doesn't include the outlaps, which makes it even more amazing.
The fastest time (9:28.370) was achieved by meisterjäger in a Bizzarini. But also in several other cars meisterjäger set fast times. The training kilometers will surely help you all in the upcoming race.
Welcome Back to Vintage SimRacing at THR!

THR Time Attacks during Summer Break
The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is a legendary mountain race that takes place every year on the summit of Pikes Peak in Colorado, USA. The course is 19.99 kilometers long and has 156 curves that demand everything from the drivers. In the 1980s, the race was particularly exciting because it was the era of Group B rally cars, which set new records with their powerful turbo engines and four-wheel drive.
Among the most famous drivers of the time were Walter Röhrl, Michèle Mouton and Bobby Unser, all of whom drove different versions of the Audi Quattro. Röhrl was the first to break the 11-minute mark when he set a time of 10:47.850 minutes in 1987. Mouton was the first woman to win the race when she clocked a time of 11:25.390 minutes in 1985. Unser was the oldest winner when he posted a time of 11:09.220 minutes in 1986.
One of Audi's biggest competitors were Lancia, who competed with the Delta S4. The Delta S4 was an engineering marvel that combined a turbocharger and supercharger to produce over 500 horsepower.
The Pikes Peak races in the 1980s were a spectacle for spectators, who could admire the breathtaking driving maneuvers and spectacular jumps of the rally cars. Drivers not only had to demonstrate courage and skill, but also cope with the changing weather conditions and loss of power due to the thin air at high altitudes. The races were a milestone in the history of motorsports and have not lost their appeal to this day.
And now it's your turn to chase the two cars up the famous hill in one piece and as fast as possible.
Let's see who is the fastest THR driver at Pikes Peak!
The CLEAN Challenge is active on THR 2.
The DIRTY Challenge runs on THR 3.

It would be great if you could support each other with the setups.

This weekend THR hosts the seventh Race Weekend of the Formula 1970 championship
We travel from France to England and race on the challenging track if Brands Hatch.
Brands Hatch is a motor racing circuit in England that has been used since 1926.
It is known for its challenging curves and its natural amphitheatre atmosphere. Brands Hatch hosted 12 Formula 1 Grand Prix between 1964 and 1986.
The Formula 1 race in 1970 was the British Grand Prix, which took place on July 18th. It was the seventh race of the championship and was won by Jochen Rindt, who drove a Lotus 72. He started from pole position and led almost the entire race, despite having problems with his rear wing. He won with a four-second margin over Jack Brabham and Denny Hulme. The British Grand Prix was an exciting and dramatic race that thrilled many spectators. It was also the last time that Brands Hatch hosted Formula 1 until 1983.
