OVERVIEW
ZRL Presents for Season 13: ZAD's Galaxy Tour in ACC.
We are a North American based "Gentleman's Racing League".
Battle it out for glory and fun in a 8 week championship season. Challenge yourself against skilled drivers from all skill levels. Each race is a chance to prove your mettle and improve your racing prowess. Connect with racers from around the globe, sharing your passion for speed and competition. Experience the camaraderie of a tight-knit racing community that supports and encourages each other. We prioritize clean racing and sportsmanship. Our community prides itself on respectful and friendly competition, helping ensure everyone has a positive experience. Come hang for an hour or so of exhilarating racing and burning rubber with variable weather with varying pit stop strategies to explore.
Dates run from January 9th to March 5th. March 12th is reserved as a make up date.
We will again have two different primary GT3 Driver Class Championships. Class names have been simplified to Gold "Pro" and Silver "Pro-Am". In addition, we have allocated space for a third Rookie class for true rookies as long as quota is met. By "True Rookies" we mean you are new(er) to racing and typically 6% to 7% off top single lap pace. Driver Classification will primarily be based on SimGrid rating, experience, and pace. Each championship will have initial SG rating requirements to sign up into. Having different driver classes will give several who have a bit to work on the opportunity to fight for higher positions(in-class) without having to be in direct competition of the more accomplished drivers. Sign up where you think you'll fit and we'll move you later as needed. If you feel your SG Rating doesn't properly reflect your skill or pace, please reach out to an admin to discuss. We'll make any adjustments as deemed necessary.
Features to look out for
Pitstop Success Ballast has returned for this season for all classes and will be featured on rounds 2 and 6 for a bit spice and opportunity! Reverse Grid racing also makes a return and will be featured twice during the season. Current generation GT3 race cars and a few older ones are available to choose from. We will be using the LFM BOP with possible augmentations to account for race pace differences. For those of you who preferred some of the older "2nd Generation" cars such as the Lexus RC F, Porsche 991 II GT3 R, and more that are not part of LFM BOP, they will be getting a Flat BOP Adjustment Boost for the season. Those details you can find within the community.
