Dallara DW12, rFactor 2, RaceDepartment and 28 top drivers. RDGPC is looking likely to be a classic. We have a just a few places remaining, fancy joining the action this April?
Beginning on April 15th with a 106 lap blast around Miami Speedway in America, RDGPC Season 5 will present 28 lucky drivers with one of the most high octane and competitive sim racing leagues available in sim racing today. Utilising the incredibly enjoyable Dallara DW12 as used in the IndyCar Championship over in the USA, the highly advanced rFactor 2 simulation and a calendar of tracks our event organisers have hand picked and tested, RDGPC Season 5 looks well set to be a superb opportunity to really push these fantastic machines to their absolute limit.
With the new season beginning at Miami on April 15th for the first of our oval racing action, the field will then head over to the relatively new for rFactor 2 Barber Motorsports Park road course, a challenging and modern road racing facility that compliments the DW12 and offers the opportunity for close racing with multiple passing opportunities throughout the 3.83km circuit.
Round three will see the teams and drivers take on the challenge of Road America, one of the United States most established and revered road courses in the country. Road America will see our drivers enjoy 44 gruelling laps of action as the competitors look to gain a points advantage over their championship rivals. As the season reaches its halfway stage we head to our second and final oval event of the year, fighting off the early summer heat as the action moves to the German Lausitzring oval for a 104 lap epic sure to send off the driving in circles element of the series on a high.
The British Silverstone Grand Prix track and the undulating Suzuka Circuit in Japan round out the calendar for our fifth season of RDGPC, with epic battles over 62 and 50 laps respectively before we see our series champion crowned.
