Hey guys reminder no race this weekend. The last Saturday off until after US Thanksgiving. In other league news I put more work into the Group C 2025 flagship Endurance League. Trying to balance out fuel and tire multipliers. Don't forget about your awarded track picks. Enjoy the Halloween festivities. I will going to a concert this Friday night.

Michel-QC_21 also picked Fuji Short. Multiple stops are allowed. Though in this case I would probably recommend alternate one of races to the full course and run both layouts. Otherwise you can pick again if you want.

Yes, I hate every reverse layout ever

Yes, I hate every reverse layout ever

That's a bit extreme. Some tracks do race better in reverse. Bidirectional track do exist in real life though it's very rare.

 

[Cold Warrior]

Just 3 days until our next race at Willow Springs Big Willow. Followed by the season finale at Road Atlanta. As of now I currently don't have anything planned between this league's final and opening round of 2025 Group C World Endurance League. Currently scheduled for January 4th. Though there's always a chance something random do to boredom.

 

[Cold Warrior]

The post in GT Planet forum for the 2025 Group C World Endurance League is pretty much as done as it can be for now. Check out post 2 for details on the upcoming league. I can't change the forum's title until after the 1600 Miles Series has finished. So you sort of considered this early access.
