ARL GT3 Trophy Season 3
The series will start on Tuesday 29th March, concluding on the 24th of May with 9 one hour events between. Whilst 5 of the rounds will be our traditional format, 4 of the rounds will award points for qualifying for the first time in ARL history. However, whilst the top drivers get points for qualifying, the top 10 places will be inverted on the grid, meaning you need to make overtakes in order to score maximum points. This format will ensure we have thrilling qualifying sessions and a variety of race winners.
Following the tracks run in the IMSA Hagerty iRacing series and VRS GT Sprint series, we will be racing at many iconic circuits including Watkins Glen, Road America and Hockenheim. All cars have their tanks limited to 60% capacity, so a pit stop will be necessary.
All drivers have a title to fight for, with 3 classes in the series for the first time – PRO, PRO AM and AM – along with the teams championship of course. The top drivers and teams from each championship will be fighting for top honours and some great prizes worth over £1890.
All 7 of the VRS sprint series GT3 cars are available to race, and with the series following the VRS and IMSA schedules, there should be setups and track guides available from whatever driver tuition service you are signed up to.
Join us on Tuesday evenings at 17:00 GMT, for a two hour practice, 10 minute qualifying and 1 hour race. All rounds are of course broadcast by Apex Racing TV on YouTube who will chat to the drivers post race to gather their thoughts the race.
