Special thanks to Sim Racing Tonight for the title sponsorship of the Historic GT Series.

Historic GT completes it's 4th full season using the same format of earning and spending rental credits to keep the racing close while diversifying the car selection at the same time. The formula has been proven many times over to keep the championship battles very tight, and each season the title fight comes down to the last race of the series; Spa. Season-6 was no different but did show the largest lead in points in this series' history.

Joco Gorenc's consistancy in attendance paid off. Competing in all 12 events gave him the advantage of a full 28 points over 2nd place. Of course, the 2 wins and 2 poles helped a lot too. Enis Dauti finished 2nd in points, besting his two-time 3rd in points in S3 and S4. Enis did match Joco's two wins, but a missed race and a DNF prevented a serious challenge for the title. David Ulmer races at Race2Play specifically for the GTH series. In S5 he finished 2nd in points. This season he finishes 3rd with a win and a pole added to his stats. Another long-time GTH racer, Donnie Yourth, made a return to Race2Play racing for S6 to finish 4th in the points though only scored a single podium in the series.

The real points fight was between the teams. CanAm Racing and Scuderia Internazionale finished the season with only 3 points between them. CanAm was crowned the champion though Scuderia Internazionale could have easily taken it if they had brought more drivers to the races. It was only at the final race of the season did two Scuderia Internazionale drivers attend to make a final lunge at the title.

Is there no limit to the number of drivers a team can enter into a series? Thusly recruiting any yahoo you can to a team will give you a potential advantage over other teams in the standings without necessarily being any better in competition?

There is no limit, but the total number of points your team scores in a race is divided by the number of drivers who started the race for your team (minimum denominator being 2). So there isn't much of an advantage to entering 10 drivers for a race, better to enter 2 or 3 fast and well prepared drivers.

Ah, that's good. So it's an average points per driver per team in the standings then. Well met!
