Circuit: Laguna Seca
Car: Pagani Zonda R
Par for March was set at 1:26.096 by Yours Truly. We allowed unlimited attempts, which most took advantage of, including again, Yours Truly — it didn’t help in my case. Noah led for most of the month, with AJ managing to shave off just about 0.1s going into the final weekend.
The challenge hinged on our customary elimination of ABS and Traction Control. The Zonda is quite a handful once the driver aids are switched off.
Prizes for this month go to: Michael L, Anthony N, and Jerry W.

March’s challenge brings one of the most iconic combinations in sim racing — the Pagani Zonda R at Laguna Seca. The Zonda R is raw, fast, and unforgiving, and Laguna Seca’s famous Corkscrew will separate the committed from the cautious. We expect under two-minute lap times on this popular track.
After February’s grueling 8 minute lap times - congratulations to Jerry on his massive improvement right at the very end - we decided to go with something fun for March. Due to popular demand we will allow unlimited attempts this month and 30% off the first session.
As usual, the first-place winner will receive a one-month Unlimited membership, which includes unlimited time for the winner only.
Second place receives a gift card for five (5) free hours and third place receives one (1) free hour. Free hours are good only in the month of April, and there is no additional discount.
The previous month’s winners are not eligible, but everyone’s time will appear on the leaderboard! This means that the February challenge winners are not eligible to win in March but can still compete for bragging rights.
