Alright our first real endurance race this Thursday night. Our race director has announced an endurance race(25-30) laps around Mt Panorama. Car will be the Shelby GT 500. Ok, now for the details.
All participating drivers will be expected to bring their own cars.
Performance level will be 570 So there is some room to tune.
Horsepower will be set at 700 A stock engine with an oil change peaks out at 694. So there is some room to tune
Minimum weight is set at 1720. A stock Shelby weighs in at 1733. So you can take out the CD player.
A tire compound change will be required. So to make it clear you must posses TWO types of tire compounds. How you chose to use them is up to you.
Yes Fuel consumption will be a factor.
Penalties and damage will be as our normal Thursday night.
It was also announced that a second endurance race with the Shelby GT 500 could be held Thursday night. Unfortunately that depends on us getting our cars, drivers, teams, and planes out of Australia.
Our beloved race director forgot to factor in that Australia is hosting the first round of the 2014 Formula One race. Yes Melbourne. Luckily the McCarthy Racing Team never left Australia due to the cold U.S. winters. So we're already down here. Oh and yes don't worry the stands will be empty during our race. Everyone will be watching F1.
