New Championship, New Challenge – Lets Go Racing!
I’ll be racing in the #59 United Autosports McLaren 720S LMGT3 Evo for this upcoming championship in Le Mans Ultimate.
The GRDC Driven Minds LMGT3 Challenge - Powered by Coach Dave Delta
The Global Racing Drivers Club (GRDC) is back with another season of the LMGT3 Challenge – the Driven Minds LMGT3 Challenge – a 10-round sim racing championship in Le Mans Ultimate. Each round features two 30-minute races – one in the day, one under the stars – with quick 5-minute private qualifying sessions, and real-world weather conditions to keep us on our toes.
New Season, New Rules – Hello, Success Ballast
This season introduces success ballast: the better you do, the heavier your car gets. The top five point-scorers after each race get extra weight added for the next round, ranging from 8 kg to 40 kg (per race). Repeat top finishes? Even more ballast. It’s great for close racing… and possibly even better for your favourite sim racing rookie trying to claw their way through the midfield.
Monza is Round 9… and if the front-runners are weighed down by then, maybe (just maybe) the curse could be broken.
Mental Health Meets Motorsport
The championship is sponsored by Driven Minds, a UK-based nonprofit promoting mental health awareness in motorsport and sim racing. It’s awesome to see advocacy meet adrenaline, and I’m proud to be part of something that supports such an important message.
Returning sponsor Coach Dave Delta provides top-tier setups, data, and AI coaching. They have also given GRDC five 1-month subscriptions for their Delta app they will give out to five lucky drivers before the season kicks off this monday!
Big Grid, Bigger Battles
At the time of writing, we’ve got 38 drivers signed up. It’s going to be packed, it’s going to be chaotic, and I’m all in. The season kicks off this Monday at Circuit de la Sarthe, and it’ll all be broadcast with live commentary on GRDC’s YouTube channel.
Oh, and yes—trophies are on the line for the top 3. Plus a “Driver of the Championship” voted on by the grid. Challenge accepted!
