LeMans League starts in season 2
The LeMans league started season 2 last week, on September 26th on the Asian continent. Two classes started this season, the GT1 and GT2. The GT1 class containing the XRR, FXR and FZR started without any restrictions and the GT2 (same cars) with an air restriction to equalise all three cars.
This first race on the Kyoto GP track over 45 laps was the perfect start of the season for Joona Laurila (Mercury Racing). Keeping three FZRs from Cyber-Racing (M.Riekkola, S.Pasic and P.Purhonen) behind him. Throughout the whole race the lead that J.Laurila had was never endangered and even laped J.Šimek from Dynamic-Racing in second position. The podium was completed by J.Ögren (Racingmates) with after a great race starting as eleventh.
In the GT2 class Z.Hajdinjak from team XFR had the best qualification time before M.Björndal (Racingmates) and A.Haro (Team XFR). B.Holmberg starting due to technical problems in the pre-race in last position performed outstandingly during the race and won the GT2 class before Z.Hajdinjak. C.Lluna completing the podium, making it an all XFR GT2 podium.
SouthCity will be host for the second race October 24 which will run over 60 laps. More information about the league can be found in the LFS Forum.
