A classic 2-speed SPA Endurance race - 14 SPOTS OPEN

[BirelChris]

Hi all!
Me and my friends were thinking about doing an online endurance race. Please read if you are interested!
The race will be hosted at the 1st of July.

The track

SPA by BirelChris, on Flickr
The race will take part on the legendary 7.0 km Spa Francorchamps circuit. Legendary corners as Eau Rouge, mixed quick corners as Pouhon and the very slow Bus Stop Chicane, makes this track a challenge for even the best drivers. The race will be a massive 500 km, 72 laps. So bring some friends to drive with you!

The Cars

The race will be a two class race. There will be a GT600 class. The regulations are as following: 600 bhp limit and 1200 kg limit.
The cars in GT600 are:

Chevrolet Corvette Z06/ ZR1 RM

The race.

The race will begin at 13:00 GMT+2. The start will be a grid start with false start check to make things more interesting.
When lapping slower cars allways remember that your car is way faster. Be patient, there is lots of straights and the circuit is wide.
When you’re being lapped you shall stay predictable. Don’t move out of your lines, a faster car will find a way to overtake.
You should also read this link about racing etiquette.

And of course DON’T QUIT if you’re not in a position to win the race. It’s all about fun!

Just to pick out one thing from the above mentioned link.
All complaints relating to a racing incident must follow this procedure:
Contact the driver concerned privately (GTP_PM or PSN_PM)
Discuss in a manner that is normally acceptable here at GTP (AUP)
If a complaint cannot be resolved privately then as a last resort contact a GTP_Race Admin
Name PM subject title 'Racing Complaint'
Supply Members PSN_Tag
Supply Date & time of incident
Supply Event type
Supply Car driven by driver
Supply Details and any other relevant information relating to the incident

I will save the replay of the race, so if it gets as far, that i have to be contacted, you should mention the lap in which the incident happened. Then i and a panel of friends will determine the punishment. The incident will be watched from all perspectives so a fair judgement can be made.

The punishments will be:
Causing a minor accident: + 20 seconds.
Causing a major accident: + 1 minute.
Causing a huge accident: +1 lap.


Prizes.

1st place: Car 999.999 cr.

I'd love to race if only I had taken the time and money to buy the DLC

1st of July? I'll see what can be done until then, though it seems to be one of the "poor chances" weekends

I'll put you on the standby list then.

Hi, you will need to turn penalties off I think during the race other wise the cars that you are lapping will be ghost cars which defeats the purpose of multi class racing.

Looks good though shame the time and dates not write for me.

Tire-regulations will be racing medium.

Important message! If there isn't at least 6 participants by the 26th the race will be blown of!

As said earlier, the double D is what holds me from entering I'd be happy to join an Enduro at e.g. Nordschleife a week later though 👍
