Pirelli isn't producing tires in 15 inches it's why it is not Pirelli tires on Milavec's car and also why the Superleague Formula weren't in Hockenheim.
Peter Milavec used Hoosier tires in Hockenheim.

When you see a series and a guy spins on the rolling lap, you know you are dealing with something very special, let's put it like that.

Yes it's great to see the cars, but it is more of a parade than a race.

Based on spin in warm up lap, you can say the same about Formula 1!

what engine does that AGS car have? The original Cosworth V8?
It's a very old car for Boss GP standards as the JHR23 is from 1988!

If the regulations hadn't been messed about with over the years there would be more cars of this vintage racing. You'd have to agree a AGS is far more interesting than a spec Dallara!

What's the matter with Klaas Zwart this season?

And Ledermaier has to climb up Open class next season!

The 2017 season of the Boss GP championship is now finished.

It was a disapointing season for Boss enthusiasts with small grids and a lack of competition in Open Class.

With no surprise, Ingo Gerstl is the 2017 champion in Open Class while Mahaveer Raghunathan won in Formula Class.

I think the move to Pirelli tyres was really bad for the championship. Or are there other problems as well?

It's hard to say. For sure, the switch to the Pirelli banned the 15 inches cars (ChampCar, IndyCar and Superleague) as Pirelli isn't producing tyres in that dimension. It's sad, because those cars were good for the championship.

Also some drivers moved to other series, like LMP3 and LMP2.

2016 was great, it's disapointing that the grids dropped off in 2017.

Hello everyone - how did you all feel about 2018?

I know the grids didn't hit many high notes in terms of F1 entries, and on the couple of occasions that the series was live-streamed it was really clear that Ingo Gerstl does most of the race at 50% to make it look closer.

However, numbers were usually good overall. Does anyone know of any cars we may see in 2019?

Have to admit I've not seen any BOSS this year (or even seen much about it). Shame really as the few times I've seen it 'in the flesh' have been good fun.

There are plenty of problems:


1. Pirelli pneus. They don't fit to a lot of cars like the Superleague Formula cars or IndyCars. So that's why we see only GP2 cars and some (but less) F1 cars.



2. They have a new structure with longtime coordinator Christian Gaense left Boss GP before the new season starts. I think they were some disagreements with Ingo Gerstl, the real boss of Boss GP.


3. There are a lot of diagreements between drivers. Some drivers like Gerstl wants more professional drivers and some like Karl-Heinz Becker more amateur level drivers.


So for me it looks like Boss GP hasn't a real good future.

What is a series about which ran 10 GP2 cars, 1-2 dominant F1 cars and that was it?
