Sorry for bailing out last night.
Wife came home with dinner and figured I should spend some time with her.
And the warm food.

Any update on the RA272 full F1 length Nurburgring and the 1970s Daytona 500 races we talked about doing? I'm free all day Saturday and Monday 😁 I want to make sure I don't miss out on those 2 special events!

You haven't missed anything yet.
;-)

I got 3 races in mind that would good for Sunday afternoons.

-1965 F1 German Grand Prix. With the RA272. 15 Laps. Random weather.
240hp, 1098Lbs, Sport tires to be able to handle the potential rain and light damages. A lap is way too long for full damage or driving in the rain on slicks. Tire wear and fuel consumption on, dynamic time and weather.

-Vintage 500kms Nurburgring Enduro.
Any race car from 1971 or older. Probably 580PP with an hp cap to weed out "cheater" tunes and Sport Tires for the same reason as the F1 race. Tire wear and fuel consumption on, dynamic time and weather.

-Vintage Daytona 500.
Any American car from 1971 or older. Again around 600-625pp and an hp cap with Race tires.
200 laps, Full damage, Tire wear and fuel consumption on, dynamic time.

1st one on October 8th?

Not 8pm.
Sunday Oct 8th. Sometime in the afternoon.
Maybe 2-3 pm start for the F1 race as it's only 2 hours or so.

The 500kms and Daytona 500 will be much longer
