Now for the fun part:
3 Competing Classes: GT3 / GT4 / Clio Cup
Any car from those classes you'd like to run, go for it, no restrictions.
Ideally we'd like to have even classes, 5-GT3, 5-GT4, 5-CC and a wild card of +1 to any of those for the 16th person. However, we don't like to have to limit vehicle selection.
So just post up and let us know what you plan on driving. If you know what # your livery will be that would be awesome too.
However, before you jump on the GT3 bandwagon consider:
- Each class will be scored independently, meaning there are a total of NINE Podium positions to be won. Do the math, that's more than half of the lobby finishing on a podium.
- While not a multi-week series, bragging rights are still as relevant as ever.
- We're keeping record of all these SRM championships, past and present, weekly and one-nighters, so get your name in lights! Maybe you can get mum to printout the sheet and put it on the ol' ice box.
- GT3 and GT4 were actually quite competitive in testing. A GT4 in the right hands might actually score an overall finish higher than a GT3 Entry.
- The Clio Cup is a blast, and the race is not quite long enough to become lap traffic lunch for the faster GT Monsters.
A few other notes:
- Average Lap time for GT3's is around 9:00, GT4 - 9:30, Clio Cup - 10:30
- Race will run a total time of close to one hour.
- GT3/GT4 max fuel is 7 laps, so you won't necessarily need gas during your pit.
- Clip Cup WILL need to take gas at the pit as the max tank is 3.3 laps. You might be able to stretch it out, but this is one track you won't want to run out.
- While damage is off, it is still possible to damage your headlights, repairing them in the pit is possible. With that said...
- The rearview mirror is very poor at showing cars behind you when it's dark. So PLEASE BE SURE TO PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR TRACK MAP. We all know there's not a lot of passing areas here, so everyone needs to be extra cautious, especially after the sun goes down.
- This is a difficult track to qualify for, due to it's length and the number of turns. So it's possible you don't put up a time at all and start behind an overall slower car, if that's the case, be cautious going around at the start and be aware of the other cars in your class that may be in the same predicament.
Post up any questions you might have. The following week we'll start the LMP2 series.
So let's do this!
Everyone just post up which class you want to be in and i will add you to page one!!
