Recap from Sept. 25th

The Carrera DTM cars used for the IROC style 3rd race

This week KRP introduced a possibility for a new class, the Carrera DTM series. These cars are great in stock form, even with stock tires. In testing at KRP they were consistently running in the mid to high 8 second range, with an occasional low 8. These cars were used for an additional 3rd race, due to the swift completion of the regular classes. Included in this series of cars (pictured left) are the AMG-Mercedes C-Coupe DTM (yellow/red), the Audi A5 DTM (blue) and the BMW M3 DTM (black). There is an additional livery for each model available in the US, others available in Europe only.

KRP will attempt to run 3:00 minute heats for all classes moving forward, and maintaining records for each class as well.

Trans-Am

This week was Stock class, allowing only tuning and tires. Dean brought his a game and finished 1st with 59 laps. Scott cam in 2nd with 57 laps, and Mark got a podium finish of 3rd with 56 laps. 1st through 6th had only a 7 lap difference.
