The last WRS Championship of 2015 is about to get underway. Mentioned earlier this week, the event will be running breathed-upon GT500 cars, hovering around the 600 PP mark, with the first race taking place at Suzuka.

A 5-stop WRS GT500 series has been announced, visiting Suzuka, Motegi, Daytona, Silverstone, and Fuji. The current sign-up list is showing a possibility of 2 rooms, and we’re still 1 week away. The first race will occur this Sunday November 22 at 20:00 GMT, and the champion will be decided before the holiday break.

GTPlanet’s Weekly Race Series is using a custom track for the first time this week, a replica of the Belgian Circuit Zolder, created by a newly-joined GTP member – Robin Pirard. The Zonda C12S 7.3 ’02 on Sports Soft tires and just an oil change is the steed.The Time Trial ends Monday November 9 and online races featuring the car and track will be held at the normal Sat and Wed timeslots:
