After a thrilling season opener at Trial Mountain<\/a>, the GTEL Gr.4 Masters<\/a> heads straight into one of Gran Turismo\u2019s most demanding fictional classics: Deep Forest Raceway<\/a>. Fast, narrow, and unforgiving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deep Forest is a driver\u2019s track: The flowing opening sector rewards commitment, while the heavy braking zones and elevation changes punish even the smallest mistake. Overtaking opportunities exist, but they must be earned, often under pressure and at high speed. For Gr.4 machinery, the balance between tire life, and fuel strategy will be absolutely crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a 60-minute race ahead and strategy wide open, our drivers face a familiar question:
Do you push early and commit to a two-stop, or manage tires and fuel for a calmer one-stop run?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note: Medium tires are mandatory. You can decide when to use them, but you need to complete at least one lap on medium compound tires. Read more about this series’ rules.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check our calendar<\/a> for the practice and race times in your timezone. If you’re new to racing with us, make sure to read the Drivers code of conduct<\/a>. Rules and regulations<\/a> do apply and penalties will be issued if necessary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
