Welcome to the official GPRO Podcast Hall of Fame thread! This is the page where the inductees are placed in separate posts to commerorate their career within GPRO. They fully deserve this recognition, and I hope that I get some audience participation on getting the new inductees added onto the thread! As this is the official thread, please refrain from posting in this thread, and use the GPRO Podcast thread for discussion on who you would want to be inducted next!
What is the GPRO Podcast Hall of Fame?
Inspired by the English Premier League Hall of Fame, I wanted something that gives the best players the recongition within GPRO, and a post to commerorate their whole career. I also have inspiration from the NBA Hall of Fame, where not only the greatest players get inducted, but also other players who have contributed in other areas of GPRO (such as forums, mentorship, referral etc) will also be recognised and inducted too! I hope that this list only gets bigger and bigger as the seasons go on! By also including the community within the selection process, this becomes a GPRO based Hall of Fame which makes it a lot more personal to you!

(Monte Carlo, Sepang, Slovakiaring, Bremgarten)
Roland Postle started his GPRO career in Season 31, where he raced in Rookie-172 for two seasons before promoting in his second season up to Amateur. He will then spend 4 seasons in Amateur before promoting to Pro in Season 36. From there, he will only spend a couple of seasons in Pro before going to Master, where he will spend another two seasons before going to Elite from Season 41 until current day. He has amassed numerous records and wins, culmulating to 9 Elite championships and 7 Cup titles. His first Elite championship was in Season 44, beating the likes of Leandro Sereno, João Monteiro, Toygun Senler and future multiple champions such as Christos Bobolis. Roland's second and third titles came straight after that too, becoming one of the very few managers in GPRO to win back-to-back-to-back titles. His fourth title came in absolute dominating fashion, securing 13 wins and another two second place finishes to finish on top, 59 points ahead of second place and future Elite champion Jan Pavlicek. After numerous Top 5 finishes (except for S57 and S58), he finally wins it again in Season 61, despite his two start crashes in Race 3 and 4. This is followed by another title in Season 64 and Season 71, before finally doing it back-to-back again in Season 74 and 75. He almost won it in Season 76 as well, but was rueing the start crash in Race 2 which lost him the title against Jasper Coosemans by 4 points. His involvement with Jaguar Racing has also propelled the team to an absolute powerhouse, producing another 3 Elite champions during his stay with the team, and also helping the team with 15 team championships and 14 team cup championships.
Roland has been the most dominant manager of GPRO's history, and in no doubt in anyone's mind that Roland is deserving of the first inductee spot of the GPRO Podcast's Hall of Fame.

Leandro Sereno started his GPRO career in the Beta Season after moving over from another racing management game. From there, he quickly went up the ladder, starting from Amateur in Season 1, promoting straight away to Master and going straight up to Elite right after that. From there, he laid waste to the Elite division, never finishing below the Top 10 from Season 3 up to his first retirement in Season 50. During that period, he won the Elite championship 7 times. His first came in Season 11, beating the likes of future champion Jari and Heidi Aareskoski, Edvinas Pranculevicius and João Monteiro, and established champions such as Vladimir Islentiev and Gatis Laugalis. His next title came in Season 17 where tyre suppliers first appeared on GPRO, beating Jari Aareskoski in an absolute battle that saw them tied on points at the end of the season, but with his five wins compared to Jari's 4, that secured him the second title. Leandro then has a little bit of a dry spell, although finishing in the Top 5 in 9 consecutive seasons from Season 20 to Season 28. This then produces Leandro's best Elite spell, winning 4 titles in 8 seasons starting from Season 30 and ending with his 6th title in Season 37. Between those seasons, he has scored at least 70 points in each of those seasons. He goes back-to-back between Season 33 and 34, absolutely dominating the season by winning the title by 47 points in Season 33, and 30 points in Season 34. His title in Season 37 was a lot more closer, going to the final race where Leandro finished above João Monteiro by a single point and Toygun Senler by 4 points. His quest to overtake Toygun's 6 titles fell short in Season 44, 45 and 46, scoring at least 110+ points in each season, yet finishing in second place to Roland in his back-to-back-to-back championship winning seasons. He finally achieved GPRO legendary status by securing his seventh title in Season 47, beating the likes of Vsevelod Demydov, Christos Bobolis, Roland Postle and Zdenek Hladik to become the most decorated GPRO manager until Roland won his eighth title to surpass him.
Even though Leandro's team record was less impressive than Roland's, his overall achievements within GPRO has regarded him as one of the biggest and most legendary names around, maybe second to Roland in terms of titles, but with the number of races, wins, podiums and points scored in the hardest group GPRO has to offer, he definitely is deserving of a place within the GPRO Podcast Hall of Fame, and right next to potentially the other greatest manager to ever play the game.

Jukka Sireni started his GPRO career in Season 12, where he quickly grasped the mechanics of the game and promoted the season after. In Season 14, he promoted instantly from Amateur to get to Pro, where he stayed for a few seasons before promoting to Master. He then spends most of his 11 seasons in Master (barring one relegation season in Pro where he promoted back to Master instantly) and hits his first season in Elite. He then goes and conquers Master, never finishing below the Top 10 of Master since Season 27. During those times, he has promoted to Elite and stays for a couple of seasons before relegating back down and building a better package. Finally, he promotes in Season 57, and instantly wins the Elite championship the season after, marking the first time someone has won the Elite championship the season after promoting from Master. He gets a second Elite championship the season after his first, before he retires and becomes an integral admin of the site, where he implemented the new current race screen where you can actually see your car racing around a track. Jukka was also part of the very successful Versant Racing team, where he had raced for most of his career, spearheading the team to multiple Top 5 finishes and scoring 1 point shy of 4000 team points for the Versant outfit.
Even though Jukka's career was shorter than most of the managers on the GPRO Hall of Fame, nor his accolades and stats were as good as the first two nominees, but his input and his presence within the game has definitely made him one of the staples within the game. His importance has not been forgotten, and his name will forever live on within the GPRO Podcast Hall of Fame!

Jari Aareskoski started his GPRO career in Beta Season 5, where he joined and started racing in Season 1 as a Rookie manager. He quickly promoted from Rookie in Season 1 and instantly promoted again from Amateur the following season to Master, where he spent 3 seasons before finally hitting the big leagues! From there, he left a trail of destruction as he pulled out Top 10 finishes in all Elite seasons except for his first. He was the first manager to win the Elite championship by starting his career from Rookie. He scored huge winning points totals in Season 11 and 12 (150 points and 120 points) , even beating his wife to the title in Season 12! His win in Seaosn 16 copped him the beautiful prize of a signed BMW Sauber shirt and cap (signed by Peter Sauber and Christian Klein). He briefly retired in Season 22 before coming back for a short stint steaming through the league before finally retiring from the game. He was also part of two huge teams in Martini Racing and Tiger Racing, winning championships with both teams, becoming one of the very few to ever accomplish this.
His career might not be as long as most other Hall of Fame entries, but his impact within the game has definitely been huge. The way he raced and the way he won his titles was just outstanding, beating other legends to the Elite championships and winning them in such a short span of time. The way he demolished his opponents in Season 12 just shows how much of a manager he was, constantly vying for the title, and winning three in the process. Jari's name is definitely worthy of sitting within the Hall of Fame with all of the other legends within the thread, and fully deserved!!

Toygun Senler started his GPRO career in Season 4, where he scored a podium in his first, before promoting from Rookie the following season. From there, he promoted from Amateur in two seasons, before relegating from Master straight to Amateur and back up to Master again. It took him just two seasons to get to Elite, and from there, a Turkish bullet was being unleashed, never finishing outside of the Top 10 in any Elite season, a rare feat in any manager who had raced in Elite for as long as he did. The season before his first Elite championship, he finished 5th with Yokos. Yokos in Elite? He managed to score steady points and finish in the Top 5 with tyres not many managers above Pro would want to touch! But after that comes total domination. Three titles in three seasons, never scoring below 120 points in either one, and steadily improving his finances as well! His fourth title came 12 seasons after his third with another outstanding season on Badyears, beating the Bridgerocks of Atis Praudins and Wojciech Uzikowski to the title. The last two came in Season 39 and 41, the latter being one of the hardest titles he has won due to the number of people that could have potentially won it. In the end, he got the 6th title tying him with Leandro at the time before Leandro won his seventh a few seasons afterwards. Toygun retired in Season 44, an ending that many people did not see coming. Toygun was also in that minority group where he won Team Championships with two teams (Martini Racing and Team Edifice), the latter gaining most of their titles from the leadership of Toygun, eventually producing two new Elite champions (Ioannis Dimitroglou & Paulo Pinto), while also housing two more legends of the game (Frederico Neves & Christos Bobolis)
His impact within the game and his overall influence over the community, especially the Turkish community within GPRO, is definitely worthy of a spot within the GPRO Podcast Hall of Fame. The amount of wins he had got from Elite, as well as the other accolades he has collected is second to none, potentially putting him third behind Leandro and Roland, and is definitely a wonderful addition to the Hall of Fame! Welcome Toygun!!

• 15 x Teams Championships
• 15 x Teams Knockout Cup Winners
• Third on the All-Time Points Table (49893.09 points as of S87R11)
• Third on Most Elites in a Season & Most Elites brought to Elite (7 in Season 81 & 23 total members)
Jaguar Racing was created by Mark Webster in Season 12 and was instantly a Top 100 contender from the start. They got their first Top 10 finish just two seasons later in Season 14. However, it wasn't until around Season 42 where they have turned from a Top 30 team to a title contender. Their reign of dominance started in Season 44 with a wide victory over great teams such as The Special One, Lithuanian Apples Team, Whiskey & Cigars and so on. Their dominance was apparent through the rest of the 40s, until the Supernova team overtook them in Season 50. However, one of their team members left between the end of Race 17 and before the season reset which meant that Jaguar took that 1st spot, but not the title. Between Season 44 and 56, they had won 10 titles and was 2nd only to the Russian powerhouses of Supernova in Season 50 and the rapidly growing Team Edifice in Season 54. They further won titles in Season 61, 63 and 65, before hitting a lull in their dominance with their longest dry streak of team championships. They would reach the Final of the Knockout Cup in Season 72, and took 2nd place in Season 74 only losing to Force One on both occassions. They will finally get their next team championship in Season 75, dominiating it in stunning fashion and taking the Knockout Cup too in the process. They would take their 15th and final championship (as of now) in Season 80, taking the double for the twelfth time in their illustrous history. They would go on to match their cup wins with their title wins in Season 82, but ultimately fall short of the championship since that Season 80 dominance.
The fact that Jaguar Racing has been such a staple name in the teams discussion is a testament to their recruitment and their dedication to the game. They have the absolute powerhouse in Roland Postle while being guided by the natural born leaders of Florencia Caro, Harsh Sheth, Lee Harding and others. Their accolades are definitely well earned, and will no doubt continue to dominate at the top of the table, and possibly get to 20 titles before any other team. They are well deserving of the first spot of the GPRO Podcast Team Hall of Fame, congratulations!
