finally....
I shortened the series to finish it before winter holidays and to make it more manageable since this is my first go at hosting a series. I can make it even shorter if necessary.
Thanks again to MildAshers for getting this off the ground. I took his outline and added in a few awards and a point system taken from the actual TDI cup series.
Since there were not volunteers I will be Race Committee (RC) for this series. My duty will be to resolve any protests sent in by pilots (though I hope we will all be gentlemen on and off the track to avoid anyone filing a protest). I have a basic outline later in this post.
Pilots: Send me your GTP handle, iRacing name, and Car# to be included in the series.
The Server Password will be sent by PM through GT Planet to all series registered pilots ~30 minutes before the start of the event.
