Welcome fellow simracers!
With our current championships heading into their final stages, we are excited to announce the series we have in store for 2023. As in previous years we will be bringing you in house content featuring cars from different eras of racing.
FORMULA ONE 1986
WORLD SPORTS PROTOTYPE CHAMPIONSHIP 1990
The fourth edition of the trophy dedicated to the memory of our friend Lukáš Vydra will be formed by the usual mix of races from the main championships and one off events to determine who is the best allround driver. Expect anything from touring cars to open wheelers in both sprint and endurance races, with the highlight being the Indianapolis 500. Performing regularly in all kinds of disciplines and types of racing car will be essential to be crowned in this unique competition.
If you are a clean, competitive and serious simracer, you are heartily invited to join us in our 2023 season! As in previous years, regular attendance in our races will be taken into account when assigning full season drives.
Registration and racing will remain free as usual, but we will appreciate any >> HELP << towards covering the costs of the server renewal, due early December at about 1000 euros.
Thank you all!

FORMULA ONE 1986
After a hugely popular run in 2021, the F1 1986 cars will make a return in improved form in 2023. Richard Wilks has revamped the mod's physics to bring the 1000+ BHP monsters even closer to their real life counterparts so drivers can benefit from the most realistic experience available.
The 1986 F1 season was a true classic and an undoubted highlight of the turbo era. Williams looked set to be the dominant force with its driver pairing of Nigel Mansell and Nelson Piquet, with Ayrton Senna's Lotus and Benetton's Teo Fabi always a threat for Pole Position, but it was McLaren driver Alain Prost who outsmarted the competition in typical calculated fashion. Qualifying engines with excessive power and sticky tyres with a one lap lifespan required all the talent at the driver's disposal to be tamed over one lap, whereas the races themselves were decided by well thought out strategies. Finding the right balance between extra power and ensuring the fuel supply lasted the distance, combined with selecting the most suitable tyre compounds and changing the rubber at the right time, was crucial to come out on top on these races.
We can now relive this season again with improvements on both the cars and the tracks. If you liked the previous version, you'll be in for an even more exciting ride this year! From the season opener in Jacarepagua to the final in Adelaide, via classic European circuits, F1 1986 is promising another exciting season. To top it off, the Grand Prix season will be entirely broadcasted live by our renown ISO TV Team in HD!

PROCAR 1980
The Procar championship will also make a return, with the mod being improved since it was last used for a full season. This championship will be held over the course of the first half of 2023.
More than 25 mid engined BMW sportscars driven by current and former F1 drivers, mixed with stars from other branches of racing, that was the recipe of Procar. Despite only existing for two season, its links with F1 ensured Procar of its place in motorsport history.
The identical cars and limited setup options mean it's up to the driver to make the difference in this level playing field. F1 experience will come in handy as most races were held as support events to Grand Prix.

Season: 9 races on Sunday
Duration: Series held in the first half of the year (January-June)

WORLD SPORTS PROTOTYPE CHAMPIONSHIP 1990
After the conclusion of the Procar championship, the second half of the year will feature endurance racing. We have raced Group Cars before at ISO, but the mod which will be used next year will be a new one, entirely created in house by the ISO team.
Group C reached the pinnacle of its popularity in 1990, before the F1 flavoured rule changes ignited its demise. Defending World Sportscar Champions Sauber-Mercedes introduced the new C11 with a cast of drivers mixing experience and stars of the future. The team made it two in a row in both the teams and drivers standings to follow on their 1989 titles. Jaguar were the main contenders for the Silver Arrows with the XJR-11, whereas Japanese manufacturers Nissan and Toyota would continue on their learning curve in endurance racing. The evergreen and soon-to-be obsolete Porsche 962 made up the bulk of the field with different derivatives of the ubiquitous model being entered by designated works team Joest, Kremer, Brun and smaller private outfits. Several non-turbocharged cars in the field, the different Spices and late season entrant Peugeot, would be precursors of things to come.
Even more so than in F1, long term thinking will be of utmost importance in the WSC. Nine rounds held over 480 KM, which drivers can attempt solo or sharing with others, will determine who can extract the most of their cars within the framework imposed by the rulebook.
