NZiRL 8: GT3 Triple Crown
Posted: Wed Sep 01, 2021 9:32 pm
As we finish our successful GT3 Challenge Series, we give the GT3 class one last hoorah before giving them a farewell. Introducing our GT3 Triple Crown Series!
GT3 have continued to be one of the most popular and hotly contested motorsport classes globally, across multiple formats of racing. We've just finished a great, close, door to door, wheel to wheel sprint series. Now, we turn our attention to the other format - endurance racing!
To Join the league, you can find us either on the member website under leagues, or in the UI, under leagues, as "Kiwi Sim Racing". If that does not work, our League ID is 6915.

We will also be enforcing a one car per driver/team rule this series - this is to stop the car swapping that we see in official races where drivers will jump from car to car finding which one has an edge at each track - you will be required to run the same car for the full season. If you change cars mid-season, your points tally will be reset.
