VPG Mission Sim – Every control, every input and every detail engineered around the most demanding sim racer.
ARL’s premier GT3 racing series returns for yet another action-packed season featuring 3 driver classes in a 10 round season. This season includes three 90min sprints worth double points. Each race will require 1 mandatory stop for tires, fuel always optional. A new twist this season, each driver will only have 5 sets of tires permitted for the entire race weekend. 1 drop round for all drivers. 2 points awarded to the Purple Lap in each class. Prizes will be awarded to the class winners and best overall driver, based on shipping.(Trophy, ARL or Racing Gear, and Cash)
One Eval Race will be held to start the season to be sure everyone is in their proper class and for new drivers a chance to get used to the ARL format.

New drivers must submit your stat page in the “time-submission” channel on ARL discord. Reach out to an admin if you need help.

Qualy will be split into 10 minutes for each class. AMs will go out in the first 10 minutes. No passing in Sector 3 of the outlap as drivers should be slowing to create a gap from the driver ahead(3-5 seconds) before starting the hotlap. No passing during hotlaps unless the driver ahead is on an invalid lap. Drivers on an invalid lap should not hinder the drivers behind on a hotlap. Please stay on pace or off the racing line and allow passing, if necessary, to make it clear to the drivers behind you are on an invalid lap. PRO/AM(silver) class may start lining up at the end of the pit lane at the 21 minute mark, and release on track at the 20 minute mark. PRO class may start lining up at the end of pit lane at the 11 minute mark and release on track at the 10 minute mark. Same rules apply.
Blue flags do not have to give up the racing line. We ask that you do not defend into the corners and allow room if possible or a slight lift down the straights to help facilitate a pass. It is the faster car’s responsibility to make a safe pass on blue flagged cars. If you are a blue flagged car, you are allowed to unlap yourself at anytime in the race. Common sense is the best tool in these situations.
Always take it easy going through the first few corners on lap 1. Hold your brakes if involved in an incident. Stream or record your quali and race in case you’re involved in an incident. Please remember to keep a cool head, even post race. We’re all here to have fun so bring the good vibes only. No driver bashing in the chat. Incident Reporting will open 12 hours after the race on ARL discord. Any questions reach out to a Console Admin on ARL discord🍻🏁
