Are you a fan of vintage racing? Take a dangerous trip down memory lane with the iconic Porsche 917K and the mammoth 1966 Spa layout. If modern LMGT3 cars are more your speed, do not fear; we also have you covered with LMGT3 cars at Fuji Speedway in this week's Racing Club events!

Are you free Tuesday night? No, we are not asking you out on a date. We are inviting you to strap in and join us on track for some fantastic on-track action in our Racing Club! You could choose between competing in the classic Porsche 917K at the 1966 layout of Spa in Assetto Corsa or taking on the challenging layout of Fuji Speedway in Le Mans Ultimate's fantastic LMGT3 cars.

Porsche 917K @ Spa 1966, Assetto Corsa​

Perhaps one of the most famous racing cars of all time, the Porsche 917K is what racing cars should be: terrifyingly fast. This 800-kilo German monster from the early 1970s saw Porsche make mincemeat out of its competition at Le Mans in 1970 and 1971, bringing the German marque a double crown it would wear with pride.

Outside of Le Mans, the 917K was just as dominant in the World Sportscar Championship. By the end of 1970, Porsche had stamped its authority on the championship by convincingly dominating nearly every round it entered.

Of the 10 races in the championship, plus a selection of other non-championship events, the works teams (JW Automotive and Porsche Salzburg) had won every race. The only exception to this rule was that year's race at Sebring, which was won by Porsche's Italian rivals, Ferrari.

1971 would be a tighter affair, with both Ferrari and Alfa Romeo stepping up their Sportscar programs to match the power of Porsche. The first upset would come at the 1000km of Brands Hatch, where a tight and damp track would benefit the lighter and more nimble Italian cars. The 917K's would have to settle for third.

The following two rounds at Monza 1000km and Spa 1000km would play to the 917K's strengths, and this is where we pick up our event! The Porsche 917K at this iconic layout of Spa!

LMGT3 @ Fuji Speedway, Le Mans Ultimate​

Are you less of a fan of the H-pattern and more of fine calculations and that glorious modern-day GT racing experience? Then listen up. We are running an LMGT3 grid at Fuji Speedway in Le Mans Ultimate! Please ensure you are efficient in signing up for this; we filled up our Sebring grid last week in a matter of days!

If you are worrying about the price of entry, do not fear! The new LMGT3 category has two cars that you get for free: the McLaren 720S EVO LMGT3 and the Ford Mustang LMGT3. If you want to see what you are getting yourself into, check out how our first Le Mans Ultimate event went below!
