2020.10.02 - 17:10 - End of GLTC Race 1
A chaotic start in the largest GLTC field we’ve ever seen on track. As the green flag waved, the light showers affected the total grip on the course. Both Luke McGrew and Emile Tabb made the right call at the last minute to put on their wet weather tires, and the results speak for themselves. This is Luke’s second race win, and a well deserved finish in his car after so many teething issues on building and developing this racecar.

Dry track. Finally a chance for these incredible cars to begin to stretch their legs. Before the event, Track Modified driver Feras Qartoumy said he was chasing a 1:28 as soon as he got the chance. On his only hot lap of the session, he managed a 1:27.097. This is the first car on street tires that we’ve seen under 1:30 at any GRIDLIFE event ever. A fantastic result on his first real attempt of the weekend. In Street Mod, Jackie Ding momentarily held the record with a 1:32.799. The very next run group, Shawn Krebsbach reset the record with a 1:32.256. In Street class, Josh Halka continues to improve his pace, and widen the gap to the rest of the field with a new record time of 1:36.753.

2020.10.02 - 14:20 - End of GLTC Qualifying
A record setting GRIDLIFE GLTC field took the track to set their position for race 1. A total of 46 cars set times during the session, with familiar drivers taking the top spots. Eric Kutil qualified P1, with a 1:38.759 and Aaron Leichty not far behind with a 1:39.594. These laps are slightly slower than times set in qualifying at the same race last year, but a giant field meant that drivers were fighting traffic on their pursuit of their ideal lap. Race 1 is going to be a barn burner.

The track was still wet this morning, as drivers continued to find time to improve. Don’t expect any of these times to stand as personal bests this weekend. The weather is looking good for Heat 4. Hopefully we see some fast times soon.

No longer raining, a few more drivers took the track in another “open” session. We’ve still got 2 days of competition left and drivers are hunting for those dry sessions. Look for Friday morning for a much larger group of cars to take the track.

Wet track for session 1 as drivers reacclimatized to Gingerman Raceway. Alex Moss of team Snap Understeer piloted the Audi TTRS to a time attack wet record on track with a 1:59.009. Only 0.7s off the fast wet time we’ve ever recorded, it’ll be exciting to see if we can improve that record over what is expected to be a rainy weekend. Some dry is expected but it’s going to be a mix throughout the next 3 days.
