XPLR -GP3 World Series - Starting 23/03/13

What is the GP3 Series?

Using a power restricted R1 Racecar the GP3 Series offers drivers the chance to experience all the grip of a modern LMP1 car without the drama of trying to control 600Hp.
Each competitor will use the same car the same stock tune and only their skill as a driver to set them apart.

All that grip and monstorous braking power means finding the limit is easy,But who can find that extra tenth that sets them apart?

With cars as close as these the racing should be some of the closest and intense we've seen here on XPLR!

The season contains 4 endurance events to sort them men from the boys, however should endurance racing not interest you there will be a total of 4 drop scores over the season meaning you could skip these events without penalty.

Seriously these cars are a blast to drive and the racing is super close, so why not sign up and get involved in what promises to be an epic season..

Can't wait for this

Had a few practice sessions in these so far and they are ace to drive. The powercap really makes a huge difference. Imagine the best handling R3 car ever and your getting close to the effect. You can really get the hammer down and the slip stream effect is excellent!!
