Description and Instructions

The FRL Open • Nordschleife

Entries closeD 

The FRL Open is a concept that allows drivers to race, freely! Formula Racing League heads to the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife for a one-off off-season multiclass event. With GT3, GT2, Ferrari Challenge, Lamborghini Super Trofeo, Porsche Cup, GT4, and BMW M2 all sharing the track, this is racing without limits. Limited practice and a 50-minute qualifying session puts pressure on every lap, while a 2-hour race with a x12 time multiplier delivers the feel of a full 24-hour cycle. Consistency, awareness, and control will decide who comes out on top.

Get ready for SIM RACING AT ITS VERY BEST - REIMAGINED

Some other adjustments will be made as mentioned below

  • Porsche Cup: -12kg
  • Lamborghini Super Trofeo: -10kg
  • Ferrari Challenge: -40kg

The M2 races on a class of its own and -40kg is intended to make it as fun as possible to drive.
