After an exciting season, margar17 was able to win the competition with his Porsche 906.
margar17 was the dominant racer of the season. In addition to two second places, he won two of the six races and thus secured the title in superior fashion.
The race for second place was closer. Flashor achieved the same number of points as Valentin Knechtel, but was able to enjoy second place due to the better placings. Third place accordingly went to Valentin.
@Mika Hakala fantastic battle, Mika!! So clean What an amazing championship, these combos are absolutely incredible!!

2021 was also different from what we all imagined. Corona still cuts us off from many of the things we were used to.
Fortunately, THR was almost unaffected by the restrictions. Therefore we were able to offer some normality and at least on the weekends we were able to pursue our favorite racing activity. Throughout the year, we had a very good participation in our races!
And it was another exciting year for THR. We have exceeded the number of 1.000 members in Discord. Our Youtube Channel has 285 followers. (btw > can we reach 300 until the end of the year?) More than 300 users have subsribed to our website, and 294 people follow our Facebook News.
We have had many great races, celebrated our third anniversary and fought some championships.
The anniversary races (Event 1, Event 2) felt really good and they will certainly be remembered longer by the participants.
Currently, we are still in the midst of two championships (GPL 5 and AC GTC) that we won't wrap up until mid-February.
Our fixed schedule:
What will come after that? I don't know exactly yet, but the 1975 Formula 1 cars from Bazza, the IMSA cars from VRC and the TransAm Pack from Bazza could play a role.
ServerManager has helped me reduce the workload a bit, but THR still means a lot of work for me. It sometimes feels like a "burden" to set up races every week and plan throughout the year, but overall it feels like it's still worth it.
So, I would like to take this opportunity again to thank you all. The community is still growing and it's a lot of fun with you!
Many thanks to you for being a member of THR.
I wish you happy holidays and a happy, healthy new year 2022!
On last weekend we drove the second event of our THR 3rd anniversary races. We drove the 90s NASCARS at Daytona.
It was intense but a great experience for everyone.
Both on Saturday (practice events) and Sunday (main events) we had exciting races. Before I write something about the races I want to thank:
Dave Esotic for his great Dynamic Restrictors plugin
Timo One for lending us the server
Flashor and margar17 for driving the pace car
the racers from ASRL, VAC, GTFR, AOR, HRL, etc. (you made it special!)
all race participants who made it an exciting experience
Saturday - practice events - 3 races - 30 minutes each
Race 1
Was a bit chaotic, cause some racers had not read the information (e.g. Narwhals guide) and unfortunately not all racers were in the voice chat. pitman won the race under yellow flags, Kimmo Katajamäki and Happy Kojot finished on P2 and P3, but we don´t count this race 😉
Race 2
This race was way better. We agreed on some rules to make it easier and the missing drivers joined the voice chat. 15 minutes before the end pitman found himself on position 1 after Narwhal had to enter the pits under yellow. From that moment on pitman managed to stay on P1, but in the last lap 5 drivers were very close and had a chance to win the race. Yannis and Narwhal were on the upper and pitman, SimonOfTheDersert and Rolf Biber on the lower line. Narwhal then tried to give Yannis a bump and push him to the front, but the bump went wrong and Narwhal, Yannis and Simon were involved in the accident. pitman was able to win the race unchallenged ahead of Rolf Biber and Samuli Seppänen.
It was the first race in which Dave Esotics Dynamic Restrictors Plugin showed it´s full potential. 1 1/2 laps before the end Rolf Biber lost his partner Happy Kojot and his slipstream. He was still 2 seconds in front, but now he was alone. In the pack behind pitman, margar and Narwhal stayed in a line and got the full slipstream benefit. With 1 lap to go, Rolf was still 1.3 seconds ahead. But the chasing pack narrowed the gap. Right before the finish line, pitman drove next to Rolf and passed him with a lead of +00:00.0130 and won the race. margar17 finished 3rd > Incredible!
Based on the Practice races, we modified a few rules. - formation lap: Drivers stay in two lines - restart after SC phase: Drivers stay in a single line - no SC phases in the last 5 minutes of the races
Race 1
With the learnings from Saturday we had a phenomenal race. During the first 30 minutes we had everything. 22 cars on track, battles, crashes, SC phases, pitstops, etc. Then HappyKojot had a lag spike which lead to a crash and another SC phase. After 30 minutes, while being under yellow the server had a hickup and all drivers lost the connection. Suddenly after 30 confusing seconds the drivers were back on track. We tried to sort the cars in the right order, but probably we did it not 100% correct. Ready for the next restart, we rolled to the start/finish line to step on the gas when the light turned green. But HappyKojot had another idea and mixed up the field again. We needed some more minutes to get going again and in the end we had another 8 minutes left. After another SC phase we had 3 minutes of pure racing. 1 minute before the end pitman got a small bump from Samuli and lost P1 to Simon. Simon was alone in front 0.7 seconds away. But pitman was in a group with Silber Wolf und Jensen Hasler and they gave each other slipstream. Short before the finishline they closed the gap and pitman moved to the left to sneak through on the lower line, but SimonOfTheDesert defended well and won by 0:00.0510. Another incredible finish. Behind the two, Silberwolf crossed the finish line in third place.
The second race on Sunday was also a blast. After the formation lap we went green and raced for full 20 minutes until the first crash happened and the Saftey Car came out. These 20 minutes were phenomenal. We had some different packs, in which the drivers gave each other slipstream, cars lined up on upper and lower line, position battles and pitstops. Pitstops? Yep > The time span was so long that the first racers were already getting nervous and drove to the pit stop under a green flag. When the Safety Car came out, all the other drivers cheered cause they got the chance to serve their pitstop under slower SC conditiony. After that the marga17 and his Safety Cat had to enter the track 3 or 4 times until the 5 minute mark. 4 minutes before the end Stefan Roess was still on postition 13. Remember him. With 2 minutes left we had a leading group with Samuli Seppänen, Flashor, Mika Hakala, Nat Stevenson, Narwhal and Rolf Biber. Behind them we had a second pack with SimonOfTheDesert, HappyKojot, Ralph van der Meer, willkb2012 and Stefan Roess. With 1 minute on the clock, both packs got together to form one big pack. And then 20 seconds before the end it happened. Narwhal had a lay spike and lost control, taking the whole group with him. Only Stefan kept a clear head, cleverly avoided the wrecks and was up and away on his own. Stefan Roess won the race in front of willkb2012 and Ralph van der Meer. Wow!
Congratulations to all the winners, racers who made it to the podium and everyone who participated in these great races. It was a lot of fun to celebrate the third anniversary of THR and we will definitely repeat this kind of races.

We drove the GPL Mod at Kyalami 1967. Instead of doing a nomal 60 Minute race (like we are used,to) , we raced 80 laps like they did back in 1967.
It was the second full distance race in THR history. And it was a blast.
What a race... That was great, but really exhausting!
pitman right after crossing the finish line.
We saw great performances and many fights for positions over the most of the 80 laps.
Every participant did a really good job. We only had two smaller incidents in the first lap and the stream looks amazing, with these many cars.
The top had a good start into the race and Simone outpaced margar and pitman was able to overtake Davide.
On lap 5, margar went alongside Simone on the start-finish straight and passed him into the first turn. At the beginning of lap 28, Mark Zeidler was 4.5 seconds ahead of margar, but was unlucky when he hit a car, which was a lap down and spun in T1. Mark lost several positions.
Flashor put pressure on pitman, but pitman was able to escape that and settled his fourth place. However, pitman could not stop the car of Mark Zeidler, who then overtook him again and regained third place.

We were faster cause of the MOD which could not be 100% correct. The other reason is that we were more risk-taking, because we didn't have to fear bad injuries or death in case of accidents.
Thank you!
Many thanks to every participant. It was a great way to celebrate THR´s 3rd anniversary and we will have the next full length GP when we turn 4 years old!
