The warm-up race will be posted friday with a 10 days deadline so that we match the WRS timing.

Here it's friday too, but not for long : my watch says 11:44 pm.
I'm almost late, I hope I won't be too late at the finish line.

The warm-up lap is there. Not a frightening lap, but it should make us learn the car so that we can start serious racing with race #1.

The Cup features are now decided, so I'm posting a quick summary to make things clear before race #1 starts next Monday.

The Cup
The Mini Cup is a series of 6 races (hotlaps), all of them using the (new) Mini Cooper-S from GT4. All races will last a whole week, and will start and end on Tuesdays 8:00 am (GMT).
Race #1 : from March 29th to April 5th.
Race #2 : from April 5th to April 12th.
Race #3 : from April 12th to April 19th.
Race #4 : from April 19th to April 26th.
Race #5 : from April 26th to May 3rd.
Race #6 : from May 3rd to May 10th.

The Rules
The rules will be the standard OLR rules
- 2 wheels on track at all times
- rumble strip is considered part of the track
- no contact with walls
- no hybrids or cheating of any kind
...

The Leaderboard
Racers will be granted points depending on their best clean lap time.
The overall winner will be the racer with most points on May 9th when race #6 ends.
Points will be granted as they are in the WRS dynamic stats.
25 points go to the winner, 22 points to 2nd best time, 20 to 3rd, 18 to 4th, 16 to 5th, 14 to 6th, 12 to 7th. Then each further driver gets one point less, down to 18th time which gets the final point.

The Races
Races will be split as follow :
- 3 races in Arcade Mode
- 3 races in Simulation (GT) Mode (with the Cooper-S from your own garage)

and also :
- 2 world circuits
- 2 original circuits
- 1 city course
- 1 dirt/snow track

The Tyre Restriction
Each driver will be provided with 3 sets of tyres (2 sets of Sport tyres, 1 set of Racing tyres), and will have to choose which set he'll use in which Simulation (GT) race.
