Our monthly Grand Prix Tournament races take place the second Thursday of each month, they are run in knock style.
Every driver competes in a Qualifying Race, the qualifying race is used solely to seed the heat races. After all Qualifying Races are run we move to the Heat Races, the winner of each Heat Race advances to the Final Race, racers that did not win move on to the Last Chance Qualifying Race. The winner of the Last Chance Qualifier moves on to the Final Race. The winner of the Final Race takes home a cash purse which is half of the total entry fees for the night, e.g. 10 drivers entered, pays $100 to the winner.
The highest placed amateur driver (racer who has not previously won a tournament) in each tournament will be awarded with the Mentor Motors Driver of the Race cash purse of $25.
Each race includes a practice and qualifying session then a race. All tournaments will be "blind", the track will be announced in advance but the car being raced will not be announced until the drivers meeting. Additionally, all racers will compete in the same make and model of car.

Race Schedule
Thursday, December 12th
We will be racing at the Autodromo Yahuarcocha Circuit in Ecuador. This track high speed track that borders the shore of a volcanic lake was originally developed as a scenic route for tourists to see the beautiful lake, as speeds increased the track turned into a purpose built racing circuit. It is one of South America's most popular tracks with drivers as the layout has a great classic rhythm similar to Willow Springs and Tsukuba.
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.
For October we are racing the legendary HockenheimRing Historic Circuit in the Lamborghini SC63 World Endurance Championship Hypercar.
The historic circuit mixes very long, fast straightaways with very technical corners. The tracks three chicanes will determine who the winners are this month.
