Virtual Works GTRs in online series: ICV Championship 2014.
Posted: Sun Mar 16, 2014 1:22 pm
So, When the Bellett GT / GTR for GT Legends was finished, I signed up it straight away to online championship, which contains 3 different kind of races in venues which are used for different championships in real world. Each driver has to run the whole season with the same car they select before the first event. (which this year was Melbourne.)
Opposition contains 1970 - 1976 Group 2 and Group 5 machinery:
Three different race types are:
- Sprint Event (short race, no pitstop needed, race time around 30 minutes.)
- Normal Event (single mandatory pitstop, race time around 1 hour.)
- Endurance (as many pitstops as car needs, race time around 2.5 hours.)
Before season was started, we had test race in Adelaide, sort of warming up V8 Supercars.
In that race, I was the sole racer running the Works GTR and due some back pains I had to skip the race itself. However I did few videos from the event and my practice:

...and after the test race, it was expected that Simca and Golf would cleary dominate the series. However, before season opening in Melbourne, things changed, as Cale (raced with Golf in previous video) and JohnW signed up for Bellett for the whole season. This resulted Excelent season opening for Bellett as in the Melbourne last wednesday, Team Isuzu took 1-2 win. Eventually 4 drivers from 20 picked up the GTR.
In Melbourne we ran normal race, warming (virtually) the track for the Formula 1 season opening.
Here's one fellow racer's made video from the first race:

Next Event is in wednesday 26th of this month, warming up F1's in Sepang, Kuala Lumpur.
