RD GT Championship 2011

[Bram Hengeveld]

The fourth season of RDGTC marks the return of an iconic car to RaceDepartment. One of our most succesful leagues in recent history was the BMW M3 league in 2007/08 for Simbin’s GTR 2 simulation where no less than 62 drivers fought for the win. Eventually the alien from Finland Marko Hartikainen claimed the overal victory with Marko Jozef and Roy Visser completing the podium.

Today we welcome back the BMW M3 GT2 into our community as the Beast from Munich will be the star featuring in a new five round championship.

From the newly released Chayka circuit in the Ukrain the best sim racers in the world travel to Brno, Valencia, Monza and will end the season in the eastern parts of Germany. At the Motorsport Arena in Oschersleben the decision will be made who will become our next champion in our prestigious league.

Every licensed member and owner of SimBin's RACE 07 plus the GT Power Pack expansion is welcome to join the championship.

Will you become Marko Hartikainen's successor?
