This race falls under the GTMSA GCR for Online Racing. All standard online rules apply including
[*]No Cheating, Hybrids, Sharking, or running incorrect settings. Run the car I set up for you.
[*]Try and keep two wheels on the road at all times. No shortcuts. This is endurance racing, mistakes will happen. But do not take advantage of it.
[*]No wall-riding. It slows you down. It's also a good way to get a penalty.
[*]Save some sort of proof of your race time and setup. I have had to ask for proof before, and it has cost podiums. Digital Pic, replay, video, anything that can show total time and settings used.
[*]All entries must be received by the deadline, or will result in a DNS. Anyone wishing for a DNF and 1pt participation must notivy the Race Steward before deadline

Good luck.
Thanks for the clarification there. 
Hopefully my WRS Division 1 experience will pay off in qualifying, though. 
I've run a first session in both events in both classes and feel okay. The AI sure is infuriating, though! The Ford Spec II mysteriously was going around at 50ish mph a couple times, and the CLK-GTR (among others) kept spinning into the gravel in various turns on old tires, and all of them seem intent on punting me off on the first corner. 
By the way, both races did take me significantly more than 15 minutes. I don't think even ABud can go very far into the 15 minute bracket!
