Qualifying took place back in February (which you can re-watch below), with two 40 minutes sessions for the TCN-1 class, and a 20 minute shootout for the GT3 PRO pole. 25 driver took to the track and very close time were recorded in the midfield.

Team Redline GT set the early pace and ultimately recorded a 2:00.889 on @RacingLine‘s 6th lap. Audi teams went on to lock out the first 3 positions on the grid with Top Notch Racing (last year’s winners) in second, and Avalerion Racing in third. In TCN-1 Dragon Razor Racing lead the pack with a combined average time of 2:13.709 set by @Whitetail and @Sinyster. Locally networked team Weil Racing Limited line up beside them.

Last year’s event saw uninterrupted green flag conditions throughout the 12 hours with Top Notch Racing recording 339 laps, finishing just over 2 minutes ahead of Reaper Online Racing who fought off an assault for 2nd place by Bitter Rivals Racing in the sites Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 by 30 seconds.

This year we have a different class dynamic, with GT3 PRO and TCN-1 taking part. The GT drivers will have to be patient with traffic across the top of the mountain and make the most of their top speed advantage up and down Mountain and Conrod Straights.

@MINT_GTR, aka 2015 NISMO GT Academy International Champion Matt Simmons makes a return appearance at his home race, after a mammoth total of 6 hours at the wheel last year, in what will be his final sim-race before he heads over to Europe for preparations for his debut in the Blancpain Endurance Series with Nissan. he will be part of the #1 NISMO RaceOnOZ crew who will be aiming to emulate the success of Chiyo, Wolfie, and Florian in 2015 and guide their NISMO GT Academy NISSAN GT-R GT3 to victory! Team Redline GT will be looking to deny them as the successful PC racing team make their eSports debut on Gran Turismo.
