2017 World GT Race 1 update

Standard posts

For the season opener at the Fuji Speedway, Nico Barclay qualified in fourth place behind Risto Kappet, Argo Teder and Chris Shepherd. While the two Estonian drivers were able to build a sizable gap during the first few laps, an exciting race-long battle began between the two Bentleys driven by Nico and Chris. In the end, Nico finished 3rd.

Unfortunately, Thomas Hinss’ race wasn’t as successful. After joining the server in the last seconds of qualifying, he was forced to start from the back of the grid. During the opening laps of the race, he was able to gain various places, but not without suffering some damage to the car or being spun round by competitors in the process. After one contact too many, he retired the car.

Below are some screenshots taken by Nico:

The next race of the series will be held at the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace on April 13th, 2017.

Below, you can find the results of both the qualifying and the race.
