WHEN: Monday, 21th November, 20.10 CET
WHERE: DTK Superprix GP Track
WHY: Why not?

-----------

Welcome to the first edition of the DTK SUPERPRIX!

A challenging circuit is waiting for the drivers, with plenty of elevation changes, technical corners & a mix of super fast & very slow sections.

A 4.8 KM Circuit, a mix of permanent & street circuit, vaguely inspired by the Birmingham Superprix Course.







You'll find open, fast sections, like the 1 km long double straight at the back of the track.
But at the end of the lap you'll have to tackle some very techinical corners, with walls very close by, before finishing off the lap

The First SuperPrix Winner will have to demonstrate abilities in setting up the car and skills in driving, to maximize the performance over the bumps, elevation changes & challenging corners.





For this very first edition of the DTK Superprix, the drivers will have to compete with one of the most iconic entry level Formula cars on the planet.

The Skip Barber (Formula Skippy).

With road tyres, this formula will challenge the drivers at the limit of grip in many parts of the DTK Superprix Circuit.
But this car will also guarantee exciting wheel to wheel battles and big groups fighting together, limiting the field spread.

RACE DAY!

Tonight, the first ever DTK Superprix will be held!
Who's going to master the streets & the roads of this new, challenging circuit?

Here's a recap of the schedule!

A 60 min practice, starting at 18.00 CET, followed by a 60 min quali and a 26 laps race with mandatory pit. (10 s minimum pit time)

RG^Lorenzo wins the first ever DTK Superprix in solitary fashion!
The italian was involved in a fierce fight with Raigs in the opening stint, than managed to go solo till the chequered flag.

2nd place for the valiant [FU] NOSLE and 3rd place for the second RG machine, Rony

Poleman [WCL]Arska lost the podium positions in the last couple of laps, but was a great protagonist in qualifying and in the early part of the race.

RG^M@CI3K completes the TOP 5.

Full Results coming later in the week

OFFICIAL QUALI RESULTS




OFFICIAL RACE RESULTS

Quali & Race Replay attached

RG^LORENZO is confirmed as the winner of the first edition of the DTK Superprix.
The italian recovered from P2 in quali and not a great race start, managing to get back into the lead with a half-lap long battle against Raigs, who retired shortly after for fuel miscalculation.

2nd Place by [FU]Nosle, very consistent through all the day, able to make the undercut work and beat all the opposition, with the exception of the Race Green leader.
RG^Rony benefits from [WCL]Arska's incredible fuel miscalculation, that left him out cold at the very last corner of the very last lap.
The WCL ace was helped by a selfless RG^M@CI3K to get over the line at the end.

This combo was maybe underestimated by some: a lot of drivers who turned up for qualifying decided to spectate during the race for no very good reasons, a bit of a shame.

In fact, out of the 13 entrants, only 5 managed to take the finish line.

Fastest lap of the race and new Track Record for Skip Barber is set by RG^Lorenzo in 2'15''28, achieved in the last stint of the race.
Most of the race laptimes were faster than the quali benchmarks, meaning that the drivers got better & better, mastering the new course during the race.

Race was completed in 59'51''33, just under the hour mark.
A real test for the drivers!

That's it for this first edition of the DTK Superprix, that goes into history.
Now it's time for the Gala Prizes
