Midseason challenge in Barcelona!
GT-MES goes this weekend on new track in Catalonia.
Season has hit midseason mark, and you can already see drivers that will be there in title fight in few weeks.
But everyone has still chance to catch leaders, as some drivers are hitting their 5-race mark, some are just going to their 1st-3rd race of the season. They just need to take part in all remaining races, to have chance to join party.
Gr2 action has been interesting. Current point leader is
sota59 in Honda. Regaining champion started season with win in Germany, and took important points with 2nd in Austria. Quick pace in Saint Croux was wasted after couple mistakes, but was able to stay on podium with 3rd place. He was leading in Italy after rivals mistake, but lacked pace, and had to settle with 2nd place. sota59 needs win again to keep his lead in championship in long run.
His rookie teammate
jonirune91 started season as dark horse. He took 3rd place in Germany after accident, and another 3rd place in Austria. In Saint Croux he entered title fight with his first win, but fell to 3rd again in Italy. Solid start to season, but needs another win to keep up with his teammate.
Nissan's
Vitmng started season as favorite, but missed first round in Germany. He made his season debut in Austria, and took max points with win. His pace was slower in next round in Saint Croux, but was able to take important 2nd place. Vitmng took his second win of the season in Italy, even after scary mistake. is 3rd in points currently, but will catch up when he hits his 5-race mark.
AMS_RacerTay in Lexus is another driver known to be able to fight for title. He was leading in season opener, but setup and tyre issue dropped him to 2nd in the end. Tyre issues continued in next round in Austria, and mistakes dropped him out from podium after starting race strong. He has missed last 2 rounds, and needs couple strong results to enter title run. He is low on ticks, so he could be strong next few rounds.
His Lexus teammate
Squeaker is also still has shot to title, but might have to settle to help his teammate in his bid. He had hard start to season in Germany, having same problems as his teammate, and falling outside podium. He improved lot in next round, but had to settle with 5th place. Saint Croux he was fighting with sota59 and Vitmng for podium spot, but mistakes dropped him away. If he learns his car better, he could steal some points from top dogs.
TNR_FILO entered season with Nissan in Saint Croux, and was leading before technical problem. He missed last round, and will miss this weekends race too, but expect strong return.
Gr3 field has been lead by former winners.
Nils in BMW, S2 Gr4 champion, dropped down from Gr2, and started season as one of two favorites. Win in his home race in Germany 3rd season in a row, took him to early point lead. 2nd place in Austria and Saint Croux gave him important points, but struggled in Italy, and just about came 3rd. He is still leading championship, but needs to start winning. His car seems to be using more fuel than rivals, so he needs to find some time somewhere else.
Regaining champion
xZePhyR96x in Audi was another title favorite start of the season. He missed season opener, but started his season with win in Austria, and repeated that in Saint Croux and Italy. He is second in points, but will take big lead after he hits his 5th race, unless Nils starts to fight back.
BMW's
Emilius_73 started season as underdog. He took impressive 2nd place to start season, and took 3rd place in next 2 rounds. He missed last round in Italy, and needs to win his first race soon to enter title race, otherwise he needs to focus on helping his team, and teammate.
BlueXephos22 from Australia entered late with Porsche. Impressive 2nd place in his debut in Italy, suggests he could be contender for title. He needs to good results from next 4 races, and his rivals to stop winning, but very much possible.
Ninja_Karma in Audi is known to be able win races, but technical problems mean he only has one 3rd place on board. If he can escape from problems, he also can rise to fight.
jamrit and
Robbo Racer both have only 4th place from their only races, but could catch back with couple wins and podiums.
Manufacturer championship is tight one.
Audi took 3rd place in Germany, but have won next 3 races, and hold points lead.
Regaining champions
Honda started season with win and lead, but needs to start winning to retake lead.
BMW also took win in Germany, but has fallen since then. Fuel issues needs to be overcome, to beat Audi for wins.
Nissan had no driver in first round, but have comeback with 2 wins. Outsider currently in title fight, but could win their way to fight. Le Mans-round important for them.
Lexus started season as one of the favorites, but only have one podium on board, and missing last round set them back even more.
Porsche and
Volkswagen also outside the fight after missing rounds.
WE HAVE STILL HAVE ONE PLACE LEFT! You would probably be out of the title fights, but still have fun.
PM me or Nilsemann for entry.
