Brutal NARS GT3 Race at Crystal Palace

September 12, 2019 – Brutal. That’s the keyword for the NARS Summer Series racing Thursday night. Racing at the throwback track, Crystal Palace proved to be a ruckus with the majority of the grid encountering major repairs in the pits or an outright DNF from damage.

It started with the 15-minute qualifying race, won by Group A driver Don Fryman who ran out of gas at the finish and Group B first time winning driver, Paul Ibbotson. In the feature 45-minute race, it was very frequent podium finisher Greg Hall taking the win in Group A once again. Don Fryman looked to be the winner until an errant fuel calculation ran his Corvette dry. He commented to winner Greg Hall, “I knew I was in trouble when I saw you duck into the pits behind me.” Behind Greg was Norm Graf followed by Jon Uyan. Group B has a new series event winner, Frank Radosti, who managed to keep out of trouble and cross the line with a sigh of relief. Following Frank was Group B points leader Brian Hall with Derek Steffeck taking 3rd.

CMS-TXL GT3 Series at Catalunya GP

September 11, 2019 – After a short break, the CMS-TXL GT3 Series headed to the newest venue available, Catalunya, and a first time series winner.

Angel Ledesma took the pole position, and would start out front with Humberto Roca on the front row beside him.

Up front, the Pro drivers would mix with the front running AM class drivers for most of the race, and in the end it was a mixed overall podium. Miguel Alcrudo would take his first ever overall race win at CMS with a remarkable pace. Second place overall was also the AM class winner,. Lowesky D’Oleo, who also managed his car and tires throughout the event. Leif Peterson finished in third place overall and second in the Pro class, and Kris Hudson using a different tire strategy would drive back up through the field to take the third podium in the Pro class.

The AM class podium was rounded out by Miguel Antonio Alcrudo in second, and Joey Trungale in third.

The Silver Class was won by Andrew Cheslock, with Raymond G. Rodriguez in second.

It’s a trip across the Pacific for the next race, Twin Ring Motegi, on September 25th.

NARS Flatsix Visits Crystal Palace

September 5, 2019 – Another new track for this group and another one that is tight and fast making a clean pass almost impossible. With lap times under one minute there was no time to even catch your breath. Tire wear issues would again scuffle the field with those that got it figured out moving to the front. After 60 minutes we would again see Greg Hall lead Group A across the the finish line followed by Jason Whited and Don Fryman. A nice welcome to new arrival and first time winner goes to Group B Mark Cotherman with Frank Radosti and Tom Nasella following him home. The NARS Summer Series has just 4 races left in the long 24 race season.

CMS-TXL MX-5 Series at Sarthe

August 28, 2019 – For the sixth race of the season, the CMS-TXL MX-5 Cup Series took to the historic streets of Circuit de la Sarthe, and pushed the Mazda Miatas to their limits over the 8-mile circuit.

Qualifying ended with 16 cars on the grid, led by Miguel Antonio Alcrudo, who was joined on the front row by Greg Mac, and points leader JT Tami right behind them. The start was fast and frenzied, but clean as the front six fell in line and tried to break away from the rest of the pack. With only 8 laps to race, the push to the front eventually separated the front three from the rest of the field.

A final lap battle, with side by side racing in the Porsche Curves, ended with Alcrudo taking the win by a mere 0.379 seconds over Scott, with Tami right on his bumper. The finished as they started, and was the first win of the season for Alcrudo who pushes himself into the points battle with only four races to go.

After a week off, this series will meet for Race #7 on September 18th, with an announcement for the remaining schedule coming soon.

NARS Summer Series – Flatsix Round 6

August 22, 2019 – Well it’s been a very trying week for rFactor2 Admins. First, the scheduled track (Barber) would not work with the latest version of rF2 requiring a track change. Then a round of updates from S397 broke more things than they fixed. Finally, on the morning of the race S397 released an update that would allow us to get the race in but the crew at S397 still have some bugs to fix.
