How did the idea come about?
The trigger:
The 911 Cup West was a beautiful race series. What started in 2011 in Bad Breisig, then was well attended in the following years, then in 2018 has become a very sad and poorly attended racing series.
The idea:
If you sit together on cozy evenings after a Saturday training session and philosophize about various sensible and nonsensical things, then a small idea was born. The most beautiful racing series currently available in motorsport at a scale of 1: 1 are GT racing series (VLN, ADAC GT Masters, Blancpain GT series and much more). Would not that be great as a series in the scale 1: 5?
The preparation:
The thought did not let us go. So we turned the internet upside down. Because the problem was that it is in Germany except the Porsche not a single cover as GT commercially available. The sweet little idea seemed to become a soap bubble again. But who knows me (this time I refer to myself alone), who knows that I will not give up so quickly. According to the motto, which does not exist, you have to do the project "ST one". In addition, thanks to FG Supply
and SCS M2, there were two more beautiful GT lids. Also very nice that came from FG T2M Audi R8 in 1: 5. That makes us happy and the idea grew ... The plan:
After the bitter end described above, a wonderful start could be made. For us, two basic things were important.
1. A series of the most beautiful sports cars in the world. The feeling I do not know how to describe it when you stand on the driver's seat and look at your car and think "Madness looks great on my car". Just not only be fast, but also have fun with the picture of the car.
2. A racing series for everyone. Important to keep the costs within reasonable limits. It should be fun for everyone and should also be in the foreground!
The implementation:
After several discussions, long phone calls and a crazy Whatts app and email history, the cornerstones were fixed. Here again a huge thanks to all who participated. Big thanks also to Ralf Stommel, who lets us ride in the NRW Cup. Many tasks could now be implemented. The GT series:
The frame is standing. There will be 7 races in 2019. Out of 7 races, the best 5 are counted for the ranking. Dangers come with all wheelbases from 465mm to 535mm. The cover must be a GT vehicle (see also reglement). Similar to racing on a scale of 1: 1, there is an annual ranking and consequently a year's winner of the series. What is new, however, is that all winners will be honored at a separate date at the end of the year. The appointment will then be announced and should not be on a racetrack, but in a restaurant, where all participants then meet for a cozy evening with fun and many gasoline talks. The winners of the day will be honored on the podium as always. There will be some surprises later in the year. The success:
??????? Yes, it does not depend on us anymore. We let the little crazy idea grow from the beginning. Now she has a size where she starts crawling. The idea that she can run or even learn the race, she can not alone ... For that she needs YOU! YOU let the idea run with us ...
We would be happy to see you on the white line ...
