Here are our top point scorers from last week’s night of racing at the Nurburgring GP! The night was highlighted by a fantastic final race as the top four drivers battled to the very end!

Levi and Ty tied for points on the night, but Levi gets the top step honors as he posted the quicker lap on the night. Dael managed to overcome a poor qualifying effort by using a fantastic defensive strategy during the race to secure a race victory!

Tonight our Championship Series heads to Poland for the first time! Be sure to tune in or stop in and race!

Most summer camps are designed to keep teens occupied.

This one is designed to challenge them.

Over the past few years, we’ve watched teens spend time in our sims and noticed something unexpected. More focus. More patience. Better decision-making. A willingness to work through frustration instead of walking away from it.

What starts out feeling like a game quickly becomes something much more engaging once they’re in it.

That’s what led us to create the Grid Lounge Teen Academy.

A structured summer camp built around focus, awareness, decision-making, and learning how to stay in something long enough to improve at it.

Registration and more information coming soon.

Here are our top point scorers from last Tuesday nights races! Levi earned his first victory of the season with a great qualifying effort and stellar race as he was able to hold off Dael for the win!

Speaking of Dael, he was able to capitalize off a good qualifying time and managed to battle Levi all race long on his way home to second place in the race.

Ty, on the other hand, qualified well, but was involved in a lap one incident that saw him drop well back from the leaders. He battled his way back up and earned third place points on the night.

Week 3 of our Championship Series takes place tonight around 7! Stop in and see if you’ve got what it takes!

Last Tuesday night saw the return (finally) of our GT3 series! Our drivers took to the scenic Laguna Seca in the first of eight races this season.

Our first podium had some familiar faces, sure, but the racing throughout the night was fantastic, with battles everywhere you looked.

Ty took home the victory, with a fierce battle between himself and Garret. They battled for several laps, with Ty finally prevailing. Garret was able to hold on to second place, while Dael rounded out the podium.

Tonight, we venture overseas to Portugal, a new track to Grid Lounge. Feel free to stop by and catch the action, or take part! Practice starts at 6!
