The Breaking Dimensions Concert and The Grand Prix @ Lime Rock Park: A Thrilling Weekend Awaits

Lime Rock, CT, August 24-25 – The 2024-25 Formula Hololive International season heads to the historic Lime Rock Park this weekend for the highly anticipated Breaking Dimensions Grand Prix. The event, coinciding with Hololive English's second concert, "Breaking Dimensions," at Kings' Theater in New York, also this weekend, promises racing action that is set to mirror the Hololive talents' performances as drivers battle it out on the short but technically demanding circuit.

The season opener saw thrilling action across two continents. In Split A at the Yeongnam SP, Hanaori Miyuki claimed her first-ever Formula Hololive victory, overcoming a season of near misses. Backed by Kobo Kanaeru, Miyuki exhibited exceptional skill, overtaking Evelyn Kuromi on Lap 32 of 36 to secure the win. The race was marked by a series of retirements, with only six cars finishing out of 14.

Split B at the Montreal SP witnessed Zeke Wimberley continue his winning form, securing his fifth Formula Hololive win. Starting from pole, Wimberley dominated the race, leading from start to finish. Javier Lusby and Mohd Shazren Redza rounded out the podium, securing their positions in the early championship standings.

After the opening round, Hanaori Miyuki and Zeke Wimberley share the top spot in the championship standings with 200 points each. Evelyn Kuromi and Javier Lusby are close behind in second with 175 points, while Kaminari Riba and Shazren Redza hold third with 150 points.
