We are kind of forced to as per the rules. Platinum drivers can only use RH tires.

POST RACE REPORT
Event #8 at Mount Panorama
Congratulations to @GCimprezaFTW for the overall win by tiebreaker at Mount Panorama for Event #8 of the Snail-Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Series.
. Great job and great racing in your first event of the series.Mount Panorama seems to have scared away some of our regulars last night resulting in a smaller than normal field with 11 cars starting. What we lacked in field, we more than made up for in great racing and intense battles. The Platinum drivers made quite an impact last night, with 4 Platinum drivers finishing the night in the top 6 positions. Great job fellas
. What impressed the most, however, was the race craft exhibited in such close quarters with no lack of passing attempts and some amazing passing executions. @nmcp1 had a highlight worthy outside pass in turn 2 on myself (II-NOVA-II), out braking, holding the speed on the outside, and closing the door to finish it off before the tight sections. That was just one of many examples of some great racing by both drivers and the trust that has built up among one another to make those attempts possible. Also, I wanted to give some honorable mention to those drivers, especially @TEX36, that found themselves in a spin or off track...great job to all of you on your awareness and sportsmanship to minimize your impact on other drivers when landing in a vulnerable position. Hats off to you guys as well. I will try to run and capture some highlights from the replays over the next week or so to post here in the thread. While challenging, this event presented some awesome and exhaustive racing...so much so that I was drained after that event. Few times I can remember have I been that mentally spent after racing.The Scoresheets have been completed and are shown below in the spoiler along with the link for the live scoresheet with archived data
Here are some Race Photos captured from both races:
Now for the business side of the series. We had 2 primary drivers who were NO REPORT/NO SHOW, and 1 driver who confirmed to race and was a NO SHOW with no notice before race time.
Given all our reserve drivers, except @GCimprezaFTW seem to not be interested in racing full time as a primary driver, I will be demoting the driver (@DesertPenguin) with the least amount of season race night entries to Reserve status. @GCimprezaFTW, I will be sending you a pm with the No. 18 ACI Motorsports livery you will use as a primary driver for the remainder of the season.
@basswerks1 and @gulfvet67 will retain their primary status with a reply of their intentions, unless a Reserve driver steps up to claim a primary spot before hand.
Thank you to @Phlano099, @Fudman420, and @FREEREVN for communicating their status even though they were unable to make it, and to all those that confirmed and made it on the grid. Appreciate it fellas.
Lastly, our next event on the schedule is: Event #9 at Suzuka Circuit on Friday, March 20th, 2020, 9pm est
Drivers are welcome to confirm their status for this event at any time, and the Event Details Post and formal Confirmation Reminder Post will be out be out in the coming weeks.
See everyone on the grid at Suzuka.

All good man, sorry I was out and my phone had died. I can barely make these races anyway so I'll show when I can. There's always a missing driver here or there.

I figured, and appreciate the understanding. I was trying to find the most fair way to do this since the Reserve drivers want to remain as such...this is the best scenario I could see was fair. Stay close, as I would like to have you on the grid again when you can make it.

Thanks for the racing, gents. The pictures are fantastic! Making me tired all over again just scrolling through. That was an excellent race from all. Also taking this post as a confirmation for the next race, and an acceptance of the primary driver spot! Super excited to keep running with you guys. This is the racing I've been looking for for quite some time.

I have reviewed the Series Details and would like to compete in the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge-presented by Snail. I would prefer to be assigned to a race team and issued a car livery and number by the Series Director.

FREEREVN has retired from the series. Since no Reserve drivers have shown interest in a primary spot and DesertPenguin is ineligible to accept a primary spot until another event is raced, the open primary grid spot has been accepted by our series newest entry:
@Kevin Barrett /GreenStickyBuds
He will be racing for TOPPRACING in the No. 42 car. Welcome to the series.

**NOTE TO ALL DRIVERS**
For our remaining race events of the series, we will be using a set lap count in place of the timed races. 2 recent events seemed to have cut drivers a lap short of the race leaders rather than letting drivers on the lead lap race to the finish line. Lap count will be set to go past 40 minutes per race. 1st post and lobby settings have been amended to reflect the change.
