The 2024 Lukáš Vydra Trophy
If you weren't around in the previous years, you might not know who Lukáš Vydra was, and what his relation to ISO was. Lukáš was born in Ostrava, Czech Republic on May the 22nd 1993 and was a big fan of motorsports and simracing. After joining several leagues in the simracing scene, he arrived at HSO and ISO in 2018 and quickly became friends with all of us. Besides being a cheerful, clean and very active racer, his great interest in many technical aspects of motorsports and love for working with numbers and statistics lead him to create many tables to reflect the results of our series. He took to himself the task of providing additional scores for some series like CART where unofficial stats were kept in real life besides the official ones, like oval and road circuits scores, nations cup, etc. Young, enthusiastic, polite and helpful, as well as a tireless worker and a gentleman racer, he was the typical guy who was really hard not to like, and always great to be close to.
However, on June the 18th 2019, he suddenly disappeared and, some time later, the terrible news struck all of us when we learned that he had passed away in tragic circumstances. Lukáš is now sadly gone, but he will not be forgotten, which is why we decided to create this special trophy, dedicated to honour his memory on a yearly base.
We invite all of you to join us in this celebration of our friend's memory and enjoy the very special challenge posed by this Trophy!

BEHAVIOUR ON TRACK
- As for all ISO races, it is required you use your real name both in-game and on the forum. Thank you.
- Chatting during the race is strictly forbidden, talking during a qualifying session is only permitted for technical difficulties, but please whisper to the admin in charge to limit the disturbance towards other drivers. The code to add before your message when using whisper chat in the AMS is the following:
/w adminname Message
Example:/w Juha Bos I have a problem. - Respect the red light at the end of the pitlane.
- Respect all pit exit/entry procedures as listed in the race thread.
- Drive Through: If a driver has to do a drive through, even if there is no pit lane speed limit, he has to drive through the pitlane at 100 km/h max (60 mph). Not respecting this rule will result in a 30 second penalty at the end of the race.
- If you have a spin on the track or leave the track, it is YOUR responsibility to make sure the track is sufficiently clear before you rejoin the race.
- Driving back to the pits on anything less than 4 wheels is not allowed in any session. Drivers must stop in a safe place and ESC out of the race. Failure to do so may result in a post race penalty.
- Race Control may request drivers who are circulating at a very slow pace to retire. Drivers must stop in a safe place and ESC out of the race. Failure to do so may result in a post race penalty.
- Drivers are expected to start the race with the intention of completing the full distance. Penalties may be given to drivers impacting other driver's race due to improper preparation or behaviour.
