Thursday Night Grand Prix Tournament
Our monthly Grand Prix Tournament races take place on the first or the second Thursday of each month. Please check below for the date of this months tournament.
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 8 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.
Racers taking part in our monthly GP Tournament can practice the track in the days leading up to the race for only $8.

Thursday, June 11th
We have largely held our tournaments on well known international tracks, for June we are changing that up. We are heading to Brazil and racing at a local club track with legendary name, the Autodromo Internacional Ayrton Senna, named after Formula 1 driver Aryton Senna who grew up near where the track was built.
This is a fast and short track, measuring just 1.9 miles long, to date the fastest lap time, a 1:04.162 in a F3 car. We will be staying in Brazil for the night and only racing car/classes that are popular there.
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. Drivers are broke down into two classes, Novice for racers who have not won previously and Pro/Am for racers who have won before.
June Time Attack Challenge
It's time to race on one of our most popular tracks, Guapore in Brazil. This is an old school track with flow and rhythm, yet there are tricky sections that make getting a fast lap time challenging. A track with flow like Guapore rewards drivers that are smooth and cars that are nimble, our car this month is just that, nimble. The Alpine A110 GT4 Evo is that, it is easy to drive, low on power and forgiving. To drive it fast you have to be smooth and precise.
Endurance Racing
Throughout the year we will host a number of Endurance Races. These races are 3 hours in length and have a 45 minute qualifying session prior to the race. Racers can drive the entire race by themselves or they can enter as a team and do driver changes throughout the race. In these races we do use tire wear and fuel consumption meaning the pit stops are required.
- Breakfast is served to all drivers prior to the race.
- All racers receive SWAG as part of their entry.
- Top 3 finishing drivers/team win cash and prizes.
- Drivers/Teams pick the sim chassis they want to use based on the order of preregistration.
Our Next Endurance Race
July 18th
The Volcano V8 3 Hour
This is going to be a test, not of the Emergency Broadcast Center but a test of skill, stamina and control. We are racing Ibarra, a track the we ran in a Tournament months ago and was very popular. It is a track built in the center of a dormant volcano with a front "straightaway" that is over a mile long. Straightaway is in quotes because it has two kinks in it, on race line it's flat out, a couple of inches off though, you're going to crash.
The cars will be the Australian V8 SuperCar Camaro.
Registration is open, secure your spot.
Driver's Meeting at 8:30am. Qualifying will start right after.
Doors will be open at 8:00am, breakfast will be ready. You are going to need all the nourishment that you can stuff in your mouth.
Lap Masters
Lap Masters Challenge is a friendly competition for bragging rights, but the winner of each round pics the track for the next race. Our current race is driving the 250CC Super Karts at the Velo Citta Circuit.
Congratulations to Nan L for winning our last Lap Master with a fast lap of 1:39.994. As the winner he got to pick the car and track for this event. Who will get to pick our next, will it be you?
