AZGT Week 1 Results

(Hehe, no, I don’t think we can do substitute drivers. However, we did reduce the damage, as you’ll see below)

Week 1 of the AZGT Championship is in the books. It was a lot of fun on the fast Anderstorp Raceway layout (based on the real track).

As you can see by the lap and timing data below, the field ran close together for some challenging racing. A couple times I lost a position (and points) by under two seconds! In Sprint #2B, three of the field finished with only a few seconds separation!

Unfortunately Hood and Ghost weren’t able to race today. With three full Sprint rounds that’s nine points opportunities missed. This combined with the time constraints we ran up against lead to the decision to alter the series schedule a bit while we still could.

Sprint event weeks will now only be two rounds (six points opportunities), a Clockwise Sprint and Counterclockwise Sprint.

So today we only ran two rounds, then ran our Formula 1 cars for a bit until we had to pack up the track. Those F1’s are a blast on a big track with a 33ft straight followed by some twisty corners!

The date for the September AZGT is TBD, but will likely be Saturday the 26th. It was some terrific racing today with lots of overtaking and frequent lead changes. Thanks to everyone that came out today. I look forward to the next one.
