Grand Prix World Series

Post by MTSElectro »

Hello all! Some of you may have heard of the Grand Prix World Series run by Downforce Radio as part of the Retro Racing Manager's League, just thought I would make a quick post about it and see if anyone else is interested in getting involved!

The Grand Prix World Series is a two-league championship made up of teams that never won a Grand Prix and drivers who never won a Grand Prix, with promotion and relegation in play from season to season.

Currently in Season 3, Scott Dixon for Simtek leads the League 1 standings ahead of Minardi's Nyck de Vries and Arrows' Pato O'Ward, while in League 2 MasterCard Lola's Tatiana Calderon heads up the points ahead of the Fondmetal duo of Pascal Wehrlein and Marcus Ericsson.

We could potentially have a few spaces for new team managers in Season 4, so if you would like to get involved please feel free to join the Retro Racing Manager's League Discord and introduce yourself to our friendly group: https://discord.gg/PGtfaDPb

If you would like to see what goes on in the Grand Prix World Series, here is the link to the recent Hockenheim Grand Prix which revives the classic forest layout: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndt0MCZ ... forceRadio

Hey! Very interesting!
Since few years ago, sometimes I can take a look on some videos of the races made and streamed by GPWS, Jake Sanson, and other streamers.

I realize that the 8th round of the last season was held in a "Dijon-Bourgogne" fictional track. I searched on the GP2 tracks files data in several places, and I never heard of this track. Watching the video I heard the information about that circuit, it was made by Chris Kavaney.

Can he release this Dijon-Bourgogne fictional GP2 track here on the forum for the joy of our community of players?

Keep the great work on the league and the streaming. We love it
