HIGHLIGHTS: rFactor 2 GT Pro Series Sprint Race | Round 6 - Indianapolis
9With eight drivers still in with a realistic shot of claiming the rFactor 2 GT Pro Series crown, Season 3 had proven a success heading into its final round. No virtual cross-country trek this time as the second event of a United States double-header got underway at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
GT PRO SERIES, ROUND 6, INDIANAPOLIS, QUALIFYING
The lead of the championship was an elusive spot at best and the owner of this going into the final round, Jan von der Heyde, knew it. A good qualification session was imperative and placing P2 on the grid was certainly a good start to the evening for the German.
Beating him to the pole post by under half a tenth was Red Bull Racing Esports’ Dennis Jordan claiming yet another front row start for himself this season. It wasn’t such a good session for the third German in the top three however as Michi Hoyer could only manage P7.
The mercurial Joonas Raivio and Jordy Zwiers surprised many to lock their places into the second row of the grid with Timotej Andonovski rounding out the top five. Alex Siebel and Jernej Simoncic, outsiders for the championship, would make up the outer edge of the top ten.

The long run down to Turn 1 had Jordan sweating off the rolling start and von der Heyde knew it. Launching a daring move around the outside of the Bentley at the first opportunity, the championship leader took the lead of the race within the first twenty seconds. Hoyer and Simoncic had poor getaways falling outside of the top ten.
Falling back into the clutches of the midfield, Simoncic would be hounded by Jakub Brzezinski until the issue was forced at the Burst Esports drive fell back to 15th, effectively ruling him out of reverse grid joy. Things were a different kind of frustrating for Hoyer however as Arne Schoonvliet simply wouldn’t allow him a sniff of 10th.

The top ten remained relatively static for the rest of the Sprint and late pressure on Jordan allowed von der Heyde all the room to cruise to a very well-timed first win of the season ahead of his compatriot and an impressive Raivio.
