The Season
Wednesday Night Gr.3 BOP · Season 1 · Complete
Nine weeks. Nine cars. Nine circuits.
One champion. One point.
From late January through April 2026, the Wednesday Night Gr.3 BOP Series ran a 9-week championship across American, European, and Asian circuits — one Gr.3 car per track, no repeats. Every driver on the same footing: BOP on, tuning locked to brake balance only. Barry took the title by a single point over RawRacingVR — and the battle for 3rd was just as close, with Weaksauce412 edging TVDV by one point as well.
● Season 2 — Registration Open · Starts Apr 29

How It Works

Pure BOP Racing
All drivers in the same Gr.3 class with Balance of Performance active. Tuning is locked to brake balance only — no setup advantage, just pace and racecraft.
02
Nine Cars, Nine Tracks
Three regions — Americas, Europe, Asia — three cars each. One car per track, no repeats across the season. Every race is a fresh machine on a fresh circuit.
03
Full Race Format
Grid start with fastest-first grid order. Mandatory tire compound change. Fuel consumption & tire wear at 6×. Refuel rate: 10L/sec. Randomized time of day and weather cycles. Light damage, no ghosting. 15 min practice beforehand.
