This was a Division one evening for the GTP_IDOR event 4 GTP Members from D1 turned up for a 15 lap race, I think this would have turned into a very close race if all had the same amount of track time. Allthough the GT300 class are not super fast, when being pushed on the limit, its very hard to catch up if you drop off the pack.
Even more so at this level were the guys in Divisioin one don't make many mistakes for you to recover ground lost.
All got off the line safe heading into the first corner, the old fella got a good start and held it, but some were a bit ambitious going three a breast into turn one at Deep Forest.
Coming round into the final turn all looking good in black and white, very close racing and all driving like gentlemen, nice to see the good mix of cars doing battle.
They were all pushing hard into the tunnels a place where it can get a little sticky with one wrong move and its tiers for everyone in the pack, nice to see all staying to the rules of not running over the concrete.

Sorry if I've missed any names off let me know and I'll add you in, it was nice to see that everyone left the track once the main division race was to take part, good manners and shows respect for your fellow members thank you.
Moving off track a little (sorry pun) our OLR team did set up an annual GTP_Race event we had 1 / 2 / 3 but things did start to slid a little towards the end, many of the older members will know just what Im talking of.
This is one of the things when setting up this IDOR event I thought of, not to take away from the other events such as WRS OMRS or annual race event but more in the hope of enhancing these great events that are put on by our members in the OLR team.
With using past WRS races I knew we would have an endless supply of events that could be used tuned / none tuned week after week, by making it inter divisional what better way of scoping out your fellow divisional members, old and new, what better way of getting a heads up on someones weaknesses and strengths ready for GTP annual race event. Im not saying there is going to be one thats dependent on how the OLR team feels and what time they all have.
Its been nice to see one or two members from division 3 and 4 coming into the private lounges or lobby rooms, theyve been made to feel welcome and I hope we have done enough in helping them enjoy the event, but only they can tell you that not me.
If you fancy coming along to the rooms or private lounge and racing with members from your own division having the same abilities as you, or free for all practice please watch this thread or make a post that you would like to join in.
I know that time zones are a pain, so the more members we get posting in different time zones the more likely you are of finding members to race online with.
