Yes! Please see the schedule below.
​

Tonight's Program
Host: @racingchamp30
Backup Host: @msgt-sd
Steward: @Die_Birdy_Die
Room Open: 9:00 PM ET
Race Start: 9:30 PM ET
Where: SNAIL club lobby​

Confirmed Drivers (9):

@turnupdaheat, @pubason, @Kgffy, @msgt-sd, @Raw10_2u, @racingchamp30, @Dragonwhisky, @Xradkins, @socalnatv​

Additional Drivers:

The rest of the grid is open to all other drivers who raced in the December season. Spots will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. If room needs to be made for a confirmed driver, then the additional driver who is ranked the lowest (with the highest #) on the driver registration list will be asked to leave.​

Program/Schedule:

9:00: @racingchamp30 will open the room.
9:00 - 9:10: Combo 1 free practice
9:10 - 9:20: Combo 2 free practice
9:20 - 9:30: Combo 3 free practice
9:30 - 9:35: Reset to Combo 1 and do manual driver line up (no hot laps or practice at this point). msgt-sd will read out the start positions and the delayed start times.
9:35: First race begins. We will back out for a late comer only if we are still on the first lap. Otherwise, we will continue and the late comer can join up for the second race.
​

Preliminary Delayed Start Times

Here are the delayed start times if all the confirmed drivers show up. Remember, if you haven't raced a given combo in SNAIL before, then you are assigned the best lap run in your division for that combo to help determine your start delay.

Drive clean, Drive hard and Have Fun!​

Heh, the format we use for the RoC these days isn't new to Gran Turismo. I already remembered the 1 Lap Magic races from Gran Turismo 4, but I just ran across this "Party Race" game mode from the old GT PSP game:

And for those who don't remember the 1 Lap Magic mission races from Gran Turismo 4, here's a short video of one of them:
