Hello, and welcome to the relaunch of DRL.
After a refreshing break, the admin team have been working hard to get us back up and running. We've also had many suggestions from interested drivers for future series, with a new Formula X Championship coming soon also!
The first step right now is our new Audi LMS Cup Series. We felt this was the perfect time to make a comeback and to do it with our very own custom champiomship is even better.
This season will be an 8 round championship using the Audi R8 LMS Car with 2 races per round. Races will be held on Fridays at 7pm BST. The seasons start date is yet to be confirmed but we'll let you know once it's all finalised.
See you guys out on track soon!
