OVERVIEW
Genuine Racing's GTi Trophy returns! After the very successful inaugural season in the autumn of last year, we're happy to announce the comeback of what already then was a very popular series. The format will be similar to that seen last year, with the event being split over three days, pre-qualifying on the first two and the main event including qualifying and the race(s) on the third. What has changed though is the amount of track time: For the main event, qualifying has been reduced from 20 minutes to 15 minutes, with the race distance has been extended to about 60 minutes for each event. The race formats will follow the Turbo Trophy approach from last year: In three of the six events we will see one 60 minute long feature race, in the other three we will see two 30 minute long sprints.
To give as many people as possible the chance to race, we will again be using two grids for all events where the demand for it requires it. Unlike in previous seasons, the grids will be split evenly, meaning that we will try to always make sure there are an equal amount of cars on both servers.
As has become standard for our events, pre-qualifying will take place from Friday 18:00 UTC to Saturday 18:00 UTC. The main event will take place on Sunday, with qualifying starting at 17:45 UTC, the (first) race at 18:10 UTC and the second race (if applicable) at 18:45 UTC.
As always, all LFS drivers and teams are welcome to compete! There will again be a drivers' and teams' championship on the line, with the two top-scoring drivers from each event getting the points for the teams' standings, regardless of their grid.
