<h1>Introducing the teams and drivers!</h1> Team Chaos
A team set up by RoscoInferno, newly promoted to pro-am after a strong performance last series. Sleepwalker will be hoping to bring in decent pro division points, where Gcosens93, one of the few star am drivers, could be a very promising prospect this series!
Zombie Force
The return of Zombie-79- last series was in a privateer role, but he didn't miss a single race. This series he'll be joined by promoted Stringer (pro-am, team champion last series) and no less than two am drivers; Seok and OldEarl will be looking to bring in the points in the midfield.
Team Jake/Spaak
A very strong outing with last series team champion Sven, joined by former team mate Offcorsa. No less than three team titles have been won by these guys before. Emerty (am) has to make sure he'll add enough to the tally to make it four! Will his strong Watkins Glen performance last series be repeated?
Unknown Variable
An all rookie team, lead by Dane Sabo (pro-am), who acts as a pro driver in the team. B1gPappaPump brings in the pro-am points, where young Thatdanield is an outsider for the Am championship right off the bat. Difficult to predict where they'll end up, could be a strong line-up!
Bolt Racing
Edtheshed once again captains a strong team. This time Fragmonkey and NCSUgray90 join him, and they're looking to be a very strong and consistent team. Will Edtheshed's last lap strategies break up their chances of high finish, or will this be their first championship?
Flying Seagull Racing
Stephen_hill faced the difficult task of fielding a Mercedes team, but it's worked out! Two pro drivers, Milvus and S4b1n, will try to finish as high as they can within the pro division each week, where Stephen_hill will hope that Mefra makes just enough points to see them near, or maybe even át, the top? (photo updated soon)
Team No Stars
Another Corvette team, very late, set up by NRTH. mr_urlauber will be looking to improve and get the high finishes. NRTH himself has proven capable of racking up decent pro-am points, where Iovenitti will be fighting for a strong Am finish. Without star drivers, their signature move, do they stand a chance?
Then, the privateers:
Dimavika (pro)
SiXxX (pro-am)
Johnniedarko (am)
The first race, with a maximum number of attendants as well!
The promotions showed to be accurate, with Stringer, Stephen_hill and Fragmonkey all qualifying really well. Debuts by Dane Sabo, thatdanield and B1gPappaPump were also pretty good!
No surprises yet at the top, as Milvus secured the most points, Edtheshed in close pursuit, and Sven even managed the fastest lap of the races. In the midfield Fragmonkey and Stephen_hill both stepped up their game, where Gcosens93 is the hotshot in the Am field for now!

Another race with a full field of 24 drivers, with this week a stellar qualifying result from Dane Sabo. In the races it was Sven who dominated, finishing first in the second and third heat, bringing in a massive 146 points for the struggling Jake/Spaak team.
Another good performer this week was Stringer, whose team Zombie Force now find themselves in second place. A lot of good battles as well, but only one can go down as battle of the week. In heat three this top four, featuring all three cars, battled it out for P1!

No big surprises in qualifying other than the debuting driver who's first and last race with us started on pole and ended with last place in heat 3.
Other than that, there were plenty of good moments, as Nürburgring GP is almost the perfect blend of wide enough for battles, while still having plenty of parts where some can run wide. Top points this week for the Jake/Spaak outfit, who's Am driver Emerty managed a well deserved 107 points, where team captain Sven took top points for the second week in a row with 134. Enough points, onto the videos!

Spa is often either someone's favorite or some people feel it's a bit overdone by now. GT3 at Spa..? Anyway, the usual suspects were robbed from pole by Sleepwalker, who managed almost a second faster than surprising runner-up mr_urlauber. Despite the German not being at his best the past weeks, Spa apparently got him right back in the game.
Edtheshed really got loose again from tying with Sven for top spot the week before, resulting in a healthy thirteen(!) point lead again. B1gPappaPump also continued his strong recent run, qualifying seventh, and moving up another two spots with a splendid 123 point result.
Four weeks down, four weeks to go, and already a really good selection of Battles of the Week, with this week a five minute battle between five cars. ..and that just tied as being the best; don't forget to check the playlist for the ten minute battle at the end of heat 2!

<span style=font-size:30px;font-weight:600;margin:0;paddding:0;>Road America Report</span>
The Wisconsin based track was the background for the fifth race of the series. A track beforehand thought to heavily favor the Mercedes, qualifying was still graced by many Corvettes performing well on the board.
Stephen_hill managed his first series pole, ahead of fellow Seagull team member Milvus. Edtheshed closed the podium, being among the only three drivers in the 2:30's. In the races Stephen_hill had to settle for second place in the first heat, but finally managed his first heat win ever in heat 3.
Solid performances as well by SiXxX and B1gPappaPump, despite both qualifying lower down the ranks. A more disappointing run likely for NRTH, who found himself in the grass far too often. This week it's a backmarker battle that takes the cake!
