The significant performance upgrade (450bhp) compared to the BMW M235i is almost a guarantee for action packed races, while still accessible for drivers of all skill levels. 2 x 20 minutes race with a fixed setup, top 10 reversed grid Tracks: TT Assen, Red Bull Ring, Circuit Zolder [h2]Series 2: [/h2] The [b]BMW M4 GT4 Trophy[/b]. The latest edition to the GT4 class is based on the new G82 model with 550bhp and is a worthy successor to the first generation M4.

You do not have to own the car or track in order to set a lap time, which means it's a great way to test the new cars. And best of all; if you're in the top xx of the Leaderboard Championship you can win vRP prizes - for all three series, so you have three opportunities win prizes!

The top drivers after three rounds can win vRP prizes, even if they didn't make it to the finale. All races will take place on Wednesday. All confirmed participants will be divided into grids using a matchmaking formula (rating * reputation / 100) The top split of Europe will be broadcasted live on the official RaceRoom channels along with the global series finale. The streams are announced on Discord, Social Media and in this topic.
