The end is near!
With a comfortable advantage in the Advanced class ranking it is now time to focus on the overall standings of the RCN-GLP 2026 championship!
Given that the overall rankings table is lagging behind in terms of updates, nobody really knows where H2R stands, but according to Driver #1’s reverse-engineered calculations it should be somewhere around 3rd place with a slight advantage over P4 which must be maintained at all cost over the next 2 events.
Now let’s look back at event #5 and how the team got there!
After a well deserved summer break the #157 E46 was treated to an all-round brake pads replacement, giving H2R drivers the confidence to ‘send it’ and use the full potential of the 115 horsepower at their disposal.
Later on Friday afternoon, and before the thrills of bringing the mighty #157 for technical inspection (which it eventually passed with flying colors) our drivers proceeded with a casual sub-10 lap in the E61 525i support wagon to ensure that the entire fleet of support vehicles is up to the task.
Much debate and conflict followed in order to decide on the best combination of size and color of the Nurburgring sticker that was now due to the E61 support wagon. This irrevocable decision had such an impact on Driver #1 that he subsequently refused the shop owners’ offer for free sandwiches.
The damage was done, Driver #2 was left with the sour taste of his tears in light of this treason and mutiny, as he slowly drowned into jet-lag madness following his return from the PDT time-zone (-9h).
But there’s nothing that pizza and beers can’t fix, so our drivers lined up on the Saturday morning ready to take on the Green Hell with watchmaker precision.
All participants shared the same ‘send it’ spirit, and without losing focus despite the multiple unfortunate accidents around them, H2R drivers completed the event with high hopes. These were not the ‘null rounds’ series that they expected, but a fair amount of low-delta laps nonetheless!
But H2R had to disappoint the fans that showed up at the results ceremony, hundreds left in tears upon learning that, for once, H2R drivers had to leave the Eifel region before receiving their trophies from the hands of organizers. ‘Snobs!’, ‘Success got to their heads!’, ‘Such divas!’, the press went wild on H2R drivers that were supposed to claim their trophies for P1 in class once again!
A great result that brings us back to the introduction, and the chase for an overall podium in the 2026 season!
