BB Raceway played host to week three of the Legion Cup and with a full selection of Gr. 3 Road Cars and no significant advantage to any of them it was destine to be a brawl to the finish. This inevitability was apparent immediately after the start of the first race. The field was never separated unless by pit stops with nearly everyone take time out front pacing the field, a trend that would continue in every race. Matt found himself out front of wheelman in the final laps but on the last turn of the last lap matt's car hooked the curb and pushed up the track. Wheelman would go on to win the race with Ovac tucked up under his rear bumper. It would mean a disappointing third for matt. U_B won the battle among the rest by beating spason, Regera fell back in the pack after accidental contact, Nasfire beat phil to the line, and shotgun mistimed a pitstop and took last. This was wheelman's first Legion Cup win on GT Sport.
Race two looked much the same, but with every driver taking the point for at least one lap. This time Matt wouldn't give anyone the opportunity to overtake him and would go on to win the race after a brilliant run to the flag. wheelman would settle for second, shotgun recovered from the first race mistake to fill out the podium in third. Regera was best of the rest with a fourth, Ovac had a disappointing race in 5th, U_B took sixth with Nasfire right behind, spason would settle for eight while Phil didn't see the finish after a disconnect ended his race prematurely.
Race three began to look a little like groundhog day but with a different winner. Matt once again led late but this time Ovac would somehow come back from 4th on the last lap to make the pass for the lead right at the line to win. Matt would take second in a photo finish, Regera would finally see the podium in third. Behind them a melee of cars all fighting for spots, spason finished strong in fourth, shotgun filling out the top five in fifth, Phil finished sixth beating Nasfire who was seventh, U_B wasn't happy about finishing eight, and wheelman brought up the rear seemingly on his own accord.

Week Two in the Legion Cup would be different yet some how the same with one major addition. The return of wheelman, the only driver to beat Ovac to the Legion Cup. The N1000 cars at Alsace II would prove to be just as challenging as the previous week. Ovac would take the win in race one due to wheelman using discretion in the final turns. Matt took the final podium spot with solid strategy and driving in the end. Regera struggled late ending his podium chances. Nasfire & PNmotorsport had there moments but ended up near the rear, Shotgun started but did not finish.
Race Two was a whole different ball game, Regera took the lead and ran away with it, cruising to the win with Matt giving chase. Ovac settled for third, wheelman decided to take fourth on his own account. Nasfire & PNmotorsport survived yet another race.
Race Three saw the most action, understandably, with nearly everyone take a lap in front. Regera would give chase to Ovac but late race mistakes would hand Ovac his second win of the weekend. wheelman filled out the podium, Matt fell just shy, PNmotorsport & Nasfire had a strong showing that wasn't really reflected in the final positions. It's also worth noting that the Championship points after two weeks has resulted in a tie between the top two.

The time has come, GT Sport has launched and Ovac is bored so it's time for the League to get back together. New console, new rules, new game, even new drivers will highlight Legion's return to racing this fall. This time it will be different though, with no set weekly schedule (yet) the League will be racing on a "run when you can" basis at least at first as we all get our feet wet in this new game in preparation for a potential return to competition over the coveted Legion Cup.
Until we figure out the ins and the outs of our new console and platform not to mention the servers constantly going down for maintenance, week nights may result in the best opportunity to run official Legion events. Do not worry if you cannot make every meet we do as these are spontaneous and are more for testing purposes. That all being said, they may still count for official wins (non championship). Below you will find some of the important information regarding current Legion League rules changes and/or competition changes. One last thing, it's been wonderful reconnecting with you folks and I hope to continue that in the near future and I hope you're all as excited as I am about getting this great group back together to do what we do best. You know, cut the grass, cautions on lap 1 turn 1, falling asleep mid race, post race rage related arguments, and my personal favorite: ignoring the drivers meeting!
