ALR Season 18 – Tier 4 White | Sprint + Feature Recap
“It’s not the other drivers you’re racing. It’s the track. And this one wants you dead.”
There are circuits that test your pace.
There are circuits that test your patience.
And then, once in a generation, there’s the Nürburgring Nordschleife — a ribbon of ancient tarmac winding through forests, myths, and the dreams of sim racers everywhere. In ALR’s Tier 4 White, it was Green Hell weekend, and for Orrak1 and Blue Dragon Racing, the mission was simple:
Survive. Attack. Deliver.
🏁 Qualifying – Pace in the Shadows
The track was damp with tension as drivers pushed through the 170 corners of the Ring in search of a clean lap. Mistakes came easy. Grip didn’t. Orrak1 managed a P7 in qualifying — a position that didn’t reflect ambition, but mirrored reality. The M6 had the muscle, but the corners had claws.
Still, in Green Hell, a good starting place means nothing. Because the track… always has other plans.
⚔️ Sprint Race – The Comeback Special
It all began with chaos. Just two corners in, contact from Naudi’s Porsche knocked Orrak1’s BMW wide — and straight down to 15th.
The race was barely 30 seconds old.
What followed was a lesson in focus. Kross was the first victim, spinning out after touching the grass. Dexter Pippa and Naudi tangled soon after, gifting another position. Orrak began climbing — calmly, relentlessly. By the end of Lap 1, the M6 had picked off Turbo Driver and Bladerunner in one glorious high-speed pass, moving up to P11.
The fight intensified on Lap 2. Falcon spun. Chaos and Bluebeard collided. Dee Dubbs and Dangermouse started to join the battle. At one point, it was a six-car train packed tighter than a Nürburgring souvenir shop.
The M6 danced between survival and ambition, and despite a small mistake that briefly dropped him back to P10, Orrak recovered again — just in time to watch Turbo Driver slide off track trying to overtake M.Beaumont.
Final result: P8
Which, thanks to ALR’s reverse grid system, meant P3 on the grid for the Feature Race.
Sprint completed. Comeback delivered. Confidence building.
🧠 Feature Race – When Strategy Fights Back
Green Hell rewards speed — but it worships strategy.
While many opted for medium tyres at the start, Orrak1 took a different path: hard tyres, minimal fuel, and long-game thinking. The idea? Survive the early rounds. Attack when others began to fade. Use the M6’s strength — tyre durability — and turn it into a weapon.
Easier said than done.
Naudi was immediately back, harassing Orrak lap after lap, searching for a crack. At one point, it was five full minutes of relentless pressure through the forest, the Karussell, the dips and dives — but the M6 held on.
Bladerunner was stuck behind M.Beaumont, and when the opportunity finally came, the field bunched together like storm clouds. By Lap 2, Dangermouse, Dee Dubbs, and eventually Obiwan had all joined the freight train.
It was now a six-car pile of strategy, tension, and potential disaster.
And the track? It just watched. Waiting.
Then came the shake-up — contact between Dangermouse and Naudi, a nudge between Obiwan and Dee Dubbs. Gaps opened. Orrak dived into the pits right on schedule, switching to mediums and rejoining in P11, in clean air.
Now it was time to attack.
💥 Lap 4 – Unleashing the Dragon
With fresh mediums and a lighter tank, the M6 was reborn. The front runners, still grinding through worn rubber or hard compounds, began to fall into range.
At 3:25, Dangermouse went wide. P3.
At 4:15, Bladerunner was passed. P2.
Moments later, the 1.5 km full-throttle section delivered the final blow — Beaumont taken.
Orrak1 was now P1 in the Green Hell.
It was a moment. One to remember. One to feel.
From 15th in the sprint to leading the Feature — not by luck, but by planning, patience, and passion.
🏁 Final Laps – Turbo Rising
But Hell wasn’t done yet.
Lurking in the background was Turbo Driver, who had quietly executed a strategy of his own — long run on hards, followed by a late switch to fresh mediums. He didn’t overtake with fanfare. He didn’t shout on the radio.
He just appeared.
And passed.
And took the lead.
Orrak finished P2.
Just behind Turbo.
And just ahead of Rocket — who secured a rock-solid P3 and officially became the undisputed leader of the Tier 4 White standings.
💙 From the Forest, With Fire
This weekend, Blue Dragon Racing walked through fire.
From being pushed to the back of the field to leading the pack.
From tyre management to outright attack.
From surviving the track to nearly conquering it.
The real villain?
Not the drivers.
Not the mistakes.
It was the Nürburgring itself.
A living, breathing, 25-kilometer monster that punishes arrogance and rewards soul.
🚀 A Word About ALR – The League Behind the Legends
None of this happens without Aero League Racing (ALR) — the league that brings structure, spirit, and sportsmanship to sim racing week after week.
From detailed stewarding and fair racing rules, to clean lobbies, passionate drivers, and a community that supports each other on and off the track — ALR is where grassroots meets greatness.
For those who race, it’s more than a competition.
It’s a proving ground.
It’s a family.
It’s where champions are built lap by lap, mistake by mistake, fight by fight.

This race wasn’t just for us.
It was for all of us.
