Monday Night Racing
January 31 @ 7:30 Eastern, reprised the following Wednesday afternoon @ 2:30 Eastern
This Monday's MNR will be our last special event using GT Sport. There are four half-hour races with four different "big" cars selected. The total purchase price will be a bit less than 2.5 million credits, if you need to buy them all. Save up and rest up.
As a special event, this next one will be a bit different in that these will be timed races (variable # of laps), qualifying, and a gas tank that is half full (staggered pits?), using 4 cars totalling 2.4 Million credits. There will be next to no time for tuning nor time to waste. If we can start early, all the better, so please be ready. The first 3 races will have a 5 min qualifier, plus a 25 min race. Race #4 will be a straight 30 minutes of racing. The lobby will be friends only.
The first 3 races will be standing starts, the 4th is rolling, no qualifier. No restarts, so don't spoil anyone's race, including yours. Starting gas tank is 50% full, so you will have to pit at least once. The lobby will be friends only, so be prepared and early. Qualifiers should allow ~4 laps to settle down, but it goes straight to the race, so you race what you have. Don't exit!
Race #1: Laguna Seca,
Ford GT N600 2006, 550 HP, 3199 lbs, Sport Soft tires @ 8X, Fuel=5X, 5+25 minutes. This car has lousy brakes, so find your braking points.

Come for the free beer, stay for the great racing.
