NAGP Season 30 Info

Out of curiosity: I was watching the F312T race and I saw you have Lilski (Kevin Lechmanski) among your race drivers. He created some of the best US track mods for Assetto Corsa: Bridgehampton and Riverside. Why not using those two tracks? Or maybe I just missed them?

We have run his tracks in the past and plan on doing so next season.

With only three races remaining in the championship, the drivers face a difficult test this evening as they get set take on the challenging Brands Hatch circuit in England in round eight of the North American Grand Prix Thursday night GT series.

Defending GT champion Jon Ludden bounced back from a difficult non finish at Barcelona two races ago, a race in which he was leading, to score his first win of the season last week at Mugello. Ludden, in the Mercedes AMG, started the race behind the Audi of first time pole sitter David Maros. Maros set a good pace early, leading the field around for the first seven laps. A small mistake on lap eight for Maros dropped him to fourth and allowed Ludden to take over the lead. After getting past Maros, Ludden found his groove and began to pull away from the competition. Ludden held onto his lead after pit stops were completed and managed the gap between himself and Ian Joliceour in the Porsche to ultimately finish thirteen seconds ahead of Joliceour in second. Ludden's gap was helped by the hard charging Peter Szabo in the Mclaren who pressured Joliceour late in the second stint finishing just over a tenth of a second behind Joliceour in third. Pole sitter Maros finished the night in fourth and was no doubt disappointed with the result and what could have been but he also proved to the field that he has the pace to hang with the "big boys." We'll no doubt see Maros in victory lane one of these days. The win for Ludden moved him to fifth in the championship standings and back into contention.

After seven rounds, Eiran Parsons leads the drivers championship with 109 points, seven points ahead of second place David Poel. Chris Moses is third with 91 points while Brad Merys and Kevin Kirkbride are tied for fourth with 83 points. A very close championship as we head down the final stretch.

In the team championship, 05 Motorsport's David Poel and Andrew Werner lead with 196 points. Gotta Go Bye!'s Eiran Parsons and Al Marimon are second with 170 points while the Rowdy Burns Racing Team duo of Kevin Kirkbride and Andrew Adamson are making a second half push up to third with 147 points.

The North American Grand Prix Monday night open wheel series will be in Italy this evening for round ten of the championship from the historic Monza '66 circuit.

Last week at the Red Bull Ring, the Thunder from Down Under, Eiran Parsons, made it two wins in a row and at the same time, tightened up the already close drivers championship on Monday night's. A poor start from pole sitter and championship leader Matt Taylor, saw him slip back to fourth in the race's early going, giving up positions to leader Chris Moses and Eiran Parsons. Third place qualifier Kevin Kirkbride, on a two stop strategy and with a lighter fuel load, took over the lead of the race on lap five and began setting a blistering pace that the drivers behind were unable to match. Kirkbride held a nearly eight second gap over Parsons when he entered the pits for his first stop. Parsons, on a one stop strategy, maintained good consistency and entered the pits from the lead on lap seventeen. Kirkbride took the lead back over from Parsons after his first and only stop. Unfortunately for Kirkbride, he was not able to gap the field enough to get in and out of the pits after his second stop with enough time on hand to hold onto the lead. Parsons took over first place on lap twenty-six and held the position on his way to his second win of the season. Taylor, also on a one stop strategy, took home second just over four seconds behind Parsons. Kirkbride finished the night in third, his best result of the season.

After nine rounds, Matt Taylor leads the drivers championship with 156 points. A technical glitch left Ronny Nunez without any points last week slipping to second with 144 points. Chris Moses is third with 141 points and Eiran Parsons is fourth with 137 points.

Precision Motor Racing's Matt Taylor and Chris Moses with 297 points are now twenty-four points ahead of the Monty Pythons Racing duo of Ronny Nunez and Luis Nieto after nine rounds in the team championship.

NAGPTV will have complete coverage of tonight's race from Monza '66 starting at 9pm eastern. The night begins with twenty-five minutes of open qualifying followed immediately after by the 150km race.

The Cathedral of Speed provides some fantastic high-speed nose to tail action. Tighten up your seat belts because it's going to be a hair raising night of racing!

The North American Grand Prix Thursday night GT series will be in Australia this evening for the penultimate round of the championship at the incredibly challenging Bathurst circuit.

Kevin Kirkbride was the star last week at Brands Hatch after claiming his first career pole position which was followed up by winning his first career NAGP league race. This was an incredible race up and down the grid. Kirkbride set the benchmark in qualifying with a 1:22.558 in the Corvette C7-R, edging out second place qualifier Eiran Parsons in the Aston Martin by a mere eight hundredths of a second, a sign of things to come. The slim gap that separated Kirkbride and Parsons in qualifying carried over into the race, all fifty-two laps of the race. The two engaged on one of the closest races we've seen in quite some time here at NAGP. Kirkbride endured intense pressure from Parsons throughout the entire event as the gap between the front two was paper thin, under a second the entire night. On two occasions Parsons managed to get a run on Kirkbride and the potential overtakes were thwarted both times by Kirkbride in what was some incredible side-by-side action that left Parsons leading by a nose length for only a brief second on both occasions. Kirkbride did not succumb to the pressure of the thirteen time drivers champion and hung on to take the win by only three tenths of a second. The battle at the front overshadowed a great result for Peter Szabo in the McLaren 650S, who finished third and who he himself was locked in a great fight with Chris Moses who finished fourth in the Viper. Kirkbride's teammate, Andrew Adamson, recovered nicely after an early off to finish fifth giving the Rowdy Burns Racing team a nice boost in the team championship.

After eight rounds, Eiran Parsons has extended his lead in the drivers championship by eighteen points over David Poel in second 129-111. After last weeks win, Kevin Kirkbride has moved up to third in the standings with 109 points followed close behind by Chris Moses in fourth with 107 points.

05 Motorsport's David Poel and Andrew Werner remain in the lead of the team championship with 210 points. Gotta Go Bye's Eiran Parsons and Al Marimon are second with 202 points. Meanwhile, the Rowdy Burns Racing Team duo of Kevin Kirkbride and Andrew Adamson continue their push to the top of the standings as they are sitting third with 187 points after last week's great result by both drivers.

Join Jake Feimster and Jack Ivy this evening at 9pm eastern on NAGPTV for complete coverage of tonight's race at Bathurst. The night racing kicks off with twenty-five minutes of open qualifying followed immediately after by the 200km race to the checkered flag.

Aside from the final round at the Nordschleife next week, tonight's race at Bathurst is not only a huge challenge for the drivers, it could turn out to be a make or break round for some of the drivers and teams locked in championship contention.

The Monday night North American Grand Prix open wheel series travels north of the border this evening for round eleven of the championship at Mosport in Canada.

Last week at Monza, Chris Moses put together a dominating performance on his way to his third win of the season. Moses began his night by taking pole position by over six tenths of a second over second place qualifier and teammate Matt Taylor. A slow start for Moses saw him drop a couple of positions in the opening lap of the race. By lap three, after a mistake from leader Kevin Kirkbride, Moses took over the lead and quickly began to distance himself from the racers behind. Moses finished the race fourteen seconds ahead of second place John Houston, a season high finish for him. Current championship leader Matt Taylor finished an impressive third while carrying a significant amount of success ballast. Moses earned maximum points for the round and picked up valuable points on the championship leader.

After ten rounds, Matt Taylor leads the drivers championship with 174 points. His teammate Chris Moses with 167 points is only seven points behind with two races to go. Ronny Nunez with 144 points is third and coming off of two straight DNF's. Nunez will need great results in the next two rounds if he wants a shot at winning the title.

In the team championship, Precision Motor Racing's Chris Moses and Matt Taylor look set to clinch their third consecutive team championship on Monday night's as they lead Monty Python Racing's Luis Nieto and Ronny Nunez by fifty-four points with two events remaining.

Join NAGPTV this evening starting at 9pm eastern for live and complete coverage of round eleven from Mosport. The night begins with twenty-five minutes of open qualifying followed immediately after by the 150km race.

Will teammates play nice as they compete for the title? Or will team orders be tossed out the window as they race each other for the ultimate prize down the stretch? It's going to be great watching it all play out over the next couple of weeks.

The end of season XXX is just around the corner, but before we can crown a champion, the drivers must qualify for round ten of the North American Grand Prix Thursday night GT series this evening at the Nordschleife.

Last week at Bathurst, it was Chris Moses who conquered the mountain in his Dodge Viper leading all thirty-three laps and finishing just seven tenths ahead of Peter Szabo in the Mclaren. Moses took the lead away early on the opening lap from pole sitter Andrew Werner in the Porsche and quickly began setting a blistering pace. Moses maintained a four second gap over Szabo who himself was on a charge but was unable to close the gap to Moses who drive a flawless race. An incident late in the race for Moses with a lapped car allowed Szabo to close within a second of Moses with just two laps to go but Moses remained focused and unphased to take home his first win of the season. Zach Hefner put in what could possibly have been the drive of the night making his way through the field to finish third in the Ferrarri 488. That was Hefner's best result of the season at a very difficult track to overtake on, well done.

The win for Moses moves him to within six points of the drivers championship leader Eiran Parsons who has 138 points. Moses sits second with 132 points followed by championship contenders David Poel in third with 115 points and Kevin Kirkbride in fourth with 114 points.

In the team championship, three teams remain in contention for the title going into the final round. 05 Motorsport's David Poel and Andrew Werner lead with 231 points followed in second by Gotta Go Bye!'s Eiran Parsons and Al Marimon with 219 points. Rowdy Burns Racing's Kevin Kirkbride and Andrew Adamson sit third with 192 points.

Join Jake Feimster and Jack Ivy starting at 9pm eastern on NAGPTV as we set the grid for next weeks 400km finale at the Nordschleife. The night begins with a forty-five minute open qualifying session. The top two qualifiers from that session will lock in their starting positions for next weeks feature race. Immediately following qualifying there will be an 83km sprint race (3 laps) where the finishing results from that race will determine the drivers starting positions for next weeks race. Points will be awarded for pole as well as the top three finishers in the sprint race.

Super Pole always offers up some great nose to tail racing. Tonight should be no different.

The twelfth and final round of the North American Grand Prix Monday night open wheel series takes place this evening from the iconic Watkins Glen circuit in upstate New York.

Two drivers will be vying for the season XXX drivers championship this evening. Chris Moses, courtesy of two straight wins, most recently, last week at Mosport, has put himself in an ideal position heading into tonight's final race. Moses comes into Watkins Glen with a ten point lead over his rival and teammate Matt Taylor. Taylor has been scoring well the last two rounds despite carrying a significant amount of success ballast over the last two events. The two drivers enter the race this evening on a nearly level playing field with Taylor carrying 5kg less of ballast compared to Moses. After securing the team championship last week, the mood has been icy in the garage between the two drivers as their focus now is on the individual accomplishment of winning the drivers title.

Catch tonight's final race of the season from the Glen live on NAGPTV starting at 9pm eastern. We begin the night with twenty-five minutes of open qualifying followed immediately after by the 150km race for all of the marbles.

Another great season of racing is about to come to an end. It has been an outstanding season thus far and it can't get any better than the final race to decide the drivers championship.

As we head into tonight's big showdown at the Nordschleife, four drivers remain in contention for the coveted drivers championship trophy. Eiran Parsons leads overall with 139 points, just seven points behind in the Viper is Chris Moses with 132 points. David Poel in the Porsche is third with 115 points and Kevin Kirkbride in the Corvette is fourth with 114 points.
