Since 2008 there was at least one league during summer using the fastest LFS driving aids free car - Formula V8. Unfortunatelly this tradition was ended by organizing body NDR,leaving a gap into LFS racing. In order to not leave this gap empty,Race Green Events steps in and launches new league - V8 Racing League (short - VERL)!
League race format is quite simple - every round features 20 minutes free track qualifying and race,where lapcount is set to minimum to exceed 200 kilometers,except in round 5,where 200km race would be stretched a bit too long,so it's shortened to 150 kilometer race. League will offer pure racing without any strategies as there will be no mandatory pitstops,neither "hardcore simulation" will be enforced to keep things simple - everyone can telepit in qualifying,also Safety/Pace car will not be used.
The season will start in 18th june with VERL Westhill Grand Prix at Westhill International - the new version of WE1 is still a high speed track,but now features more technical turns and few slower sectors for great overall workout. Round 2 brings racers to LFS's only urban environment for South City 200 - the configuration Chicane Route Reversed is the fastest configuration in our beloved city. Kyoto Summer Grand Prix is the 3rd event on schedule,featuring very familiar Kyoto Grand Prix Long configuration with alternative path to avoid the famous "do right or die" chicane. The second half of season starts with Aston Classic Challenge,where everyone will be able to take on challenge given by fusion of Aston Club,Cadet and National configurations. By distance the shortest race will be hosted in parking lot/autocross area of Kent - Race Green 150 will be a tough 125 laps race around the very short 1.2km Race Green International Raceway. After this journey around the world,VERL will return to Westhill once again to finish off season with Westhill 200 at Westhill National Reversed configuration.
To spice up things in fight for championship,Race Green Events will present a small money prize to VERL Drivers Champion!
