Our monthly Grand Prix Tournament races take place the second Thursday of each month.
Every driver competes in a minimum of 2 races, each race includes a combined practice and the qualifying session followed by a race.
The grid for each race is determined using the Pill Draw system that is common in circle track racing where each driver pics a ball out of a bucket, the number on that ball determines which race you are in and who your fellow competitors are.
Points are awarded for each drivers finishing position, Pro/Am drivers (a racer who has won a previous Tournament) points are handicapped, Novice drivers (racer who has not won a previous tournament) are awarded full points. After 2 races all driver points are added, the 6 racers with the highest point totals go in to the Final race. The racer with the highest points total after the Final race is the night's winner.
The winner, second place and third place will be awarded a purse consisting of cash and prizes.
All tournaments will be "blind", the track will be announced in advance but the cars being raced will not be announced until the Drivers Meeting. Additionally, all racers will compete in the same make and model of car.

Thursday, May 8th
This month we visit a track that while it still exists, it does not exist in it's original layout that we will be racing, the Hockenheimring historic circuit that is just over 4 miles long and most of those 4 miles are all straight aways. This version of the track was closed years ago because it got to be to dangerous at modern day speeds. But that won't stop us, usually we race a slow class in the Thursday GP Tournaments but not this month, each class raced is going to be fast!
Monthly Time Attack Challenge
Each month we host a Time Attack Challenge, every driver must drive the same car at the same track. The driver who sets the fastest lap by the end of the month wins a $100 prize package.
We are kicking it old school this month, racing the mk1 Ford Escort RS1600 made legendary by drivers like Graham Hill and Barry Barnes. We will be racing them at the historic Imola race track.
Beat the Race Director
Racers are always asking to race against our Race Director, so let's do it!
The first Wednesday of each month simply come in and say that you want to race the Race Director. If you win you win a Yellowstone Grand Prix prize package.
Track and cars being raced will be the choice of the Race Director.
Race fee is our normal $12 per race.
Bathurst King of the Mountain
Sunday, April 27th
Mount Panorama or Bathurst is the most iconic and historic track in Australia. The track which races up and over a mountain has been a staple on the endurance race calendar for decades, it's time that we race there.
The cars we will be racing are the Brazilian Stock Car series Toyota and Chevy cars. While they don't run these cars here in real life they are very well suited for this track.
There are 6 open sims, each entry fee is $50 per sim (be it 1 driver, 2 or 3). Entry fee must be paid in advance to secure your sim. Sim selection is based on first paid gets the first pick.
