Race Report: GPL Championship 6 at Monza RW 1/9
The Monza Road Course came alive with the roaring sounds of the 3 litre engines as the highspeed circuit played host to a thrilling 60-minute race. With no rain in sight and a gentle breeze blowing at 11.0 kph, the stage was set for a battle of classic proportions. Here's a comprehensive breakdown of the race:
Qualifying and Starting Grid
In a qualifying session that saw precision and power collide, Lasse Albrecht in the Eagle T1G secured the pole position. He was closely followed by Nathaniel Stevenson in another Eagle T1G, and Jake Feimster in a Ferrari 312, rounding up the top three.
The Race Unfolds
As the race kicked off, Albrecht showed his dominance by swiftly maintaining his lead. Lap after lap, he skillfully navigated the 5.759 km track, facing challenges from behind but holding his ground.
The start of the Monza 1966 race was marked by unfortunate incidents that significantly impacted the positions of certain drivers. Nathaniel Stevenson encountered a challenging moment as he failed to shift into second gear promptly, causing a collision with Jayden HW. This mishap resulted in Jayden losing valuable positions early in the race, adding an extra layer of difficulty to his competition. Additionally, the chaotic opening moments saw Rolf Biber colliding with Frank Pitman, who was subsequently forced to plummet to the back of the field. Flashor got also involved in this crash and had to enter the pits after the first lap.
A pivotal moment occurred during the race when Florian Masse found himself at the center of a collision with Richard Rossier. Regrettably, Florian was deemed responsible for the incident, leading to significant damage to his Ferrari and ended his race after a promising start. Tragically, this incident had a domino effect, with Pete Bondurant unable to evade the wreckage, ultimately crashing into the destroyed Ferrari of Florian. In contrast, Richard Rossier managed to limp his damaged car into the pits for repairs, determined to salvage what he could from the race. Meanwhile, Pete Bondurant, despite his battered vehicle, displayed remarkable resilience, opting to continue the race despite the odds stacked against him.
The Thrilling Finish
In the end, it was Lasse Albrecht who claimed the checkered flag, his mastery of the Monza circuit evident in his commanding performance throughout the race. Nathaniel Stevenson and Tim Muttram showcased remarkable skill and determination, securing their positions on the podium amidst the intense competition.
Exceptional performances
As written some drivers lost time and positions after the chaos of the opening lap. But Flashor displayed remarkable resilience during the race, gaining 11 positions after being involved in a first-lap incident. In a heart-pounding culmination, Flashor also emerged victorious, setting the fastest lap of the race at an impressive 01:26.470. Frank Pitman's tenacity was on full display as he battled from 22nd position after the initial crash to an impressive 4th place, finishing just 1.1 seconds behind 3rd place. These drivers showcased exceptional skill and determination amidst the challenging race conditions.
Closing Thoughts
The Monza 1966 Road Course witnessed a race for the ages, where great cars and skilled drivers painted a picture of awesome racing. As the sun set over the iconic Italian track, the echoes of roaring engines and the cheers of the crowd resonated, encapsulating the essence of timeless racing spirit. The Monza circuit had once again proven why it stands as a legendary venue, where history and horsepower collide to create unforgettable moments on the asphalt.

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:
