Hello all. As many of you know, I am an avid fan of rFactor.
For those of you that don't know much about rFactor, it is a PC racing sim.
It is infinitely expandable through the creation of "mods." These are community made modifications for the game. People can model out tracks and cars and edit the physics files to be put into the game.
Everything is free and legal (except the game, you need to pay for that), and you can drive nearly anything at whatever track you choose.
One of my favorite rFactor features is the ability to perform driver swaps online with other people. I'll be using this feature in the coming race.
The race is 12 Hours long from noon to midnight GMT. The race will be ran in realtime, so it will be dark when we finish.
We will be driving historical sportscars from the 1960s. My team is going to drive a Porsche 906 against 3 Ferrari 412Ps and one other Porsche in our class. There is also a GT class in which a few Porsche 911R 2.0s will be pitted against a handful of Ferrari 250 GTOs.
The Fezzas are significantly more powerful than the Porsches. However, we have significantly better fuel economy.
Here are the qualifying results from earlier today, my team name is Champion Motorsports. We qualified third.

Note that a handy feature of rFactor is the ability to create your own liveries using photoshop. Naturally, I went for the psychedelic theme.
Enough about the cars, what's a Sachsenring?
Today, I believe it is used as a MotoGP track.
However, it was MUCH different back in the 60s.

And a video of a couple (relatively slow) laps:
Warning: Sound may cause orgasms.
Live timing will be available here.
My name will show up as Thomas Roth, my teammates are James Knowles, PaulH, and Patrick Spence is a back up driver.
My team will update this thread on our team's website. When I'm not driving, I'll try to transfer those posts over to here.
I've got the first stint, Paul the second and third, James the fourth, and then I'll take the checkered. Stints are a little over two and a half hours.
More event info can be found here.
Now I'm off to hunt some Italians!
Some pics from testing earlier this month, (not sporting our Hippie Car livery).
