We’re going further than Club, now. It will become the Ultracar League.

On this day, a new story will be written.

It is an epic, a chronicle four years in the making.

Presented before the audience are machines that are unlike anything ever seen before; machines that are unlike anything that will ever be seen again.

Months of toiling in workshops to make everything ideal to the final nanometer, of arduous testing of every single part to make sure they stay poised for the next corner, and of throwing away a thousand different failures have resulted in some of the most wonderful cars on Earth.

And now, the definitive test for them has arrived.

Twelve world-revered motor racing tracks shall be the arena in which all these cars will be tested. Twelve of the most amazing venues in motorsport that are hailed as the most challenging and rewarding on the planet.

Each manufacturer can only field two cars, heavily scrutinized to keep away advantage devices, and can summon just one Platinum driver and one Gold driver per car.

Racing against time in two flying laps, for five laps in groups of four, then in two 3-lap duels, the undisputed champion is not who makes the most points, but who won the most. There will be no Balance of Performance, only proof which car is the best outright.

Eight of the world’s most amazing automobiles.
