TORA Le Mans 2013 - Le Mans Classic Support Race - 2130 BST - 28/06/13

As a special race for Le Mans we will be hosting a Classic Le Mans race - using the cars from the late 1990s and early 2000s!

The car list has been very roughly balanced and quite simply isn't exactly fairly balanced but it all for a bit of fun as part of our Le Mans weekend!

The race starts at 2130 BST and will be around 30 mins long, so about 6 laps - including a rolling start. The race will start with a rolling start, so it will be set to PI order so the Prototype cars are at the front and GT cars are at the back. Please take care when doing the warm up lap, and do not go around at more than 100mph. Standard TORA rolling start rules apply.

There are no car limits as such, but it would be great to see some variety. Cars will be locked to stock and tuning will be locked as well.

Standard TORA assist rules apply, so you may use TCS, Racing Line and the damage will be set to limited.

There will be initially one lobby - which may increase to two if there is demand. and spaces will be first come first served. There will be 15 open spaces in Lobby A as I will also be streaming the race. There will be 7 Prototype cars and 8 GT cars in Lobby A. If there is a Lobby B there will be 8 Prototype cars and 8 GT cars unless there is someone there to stream, where it will be the same numbers as Lobby A.

You may use any paint be it replica or your own creation. Your TORA number is appreciated, but not mandatory.

Also, if you group the classes together and randomize the grid order, you should still have Prototypes in front of GTs.

What time is this race? It's in the topic title. 

Good plan, I'll see what I can do with lobby settings. That way we might not need to do such a loooooong rolling start lap.

2130 BST, track is current La Sarthe.

Sorry, didn't realize it was in the topic title.

It's ok, I just put it in

Chris is this all on Friday

You could even set it to PI ascending, and set the prototype group to have a start time delay so they hit traffic somewhere in that 6 or so laps.

Ignore me....I'm tired!!

I'd like to do more, but time will be permitting with the Open Cup Race 3 happening after this as well.

pardon lack of template as I am posting on the XBox

Updated entry, Prototype is almost full. This looks like it's going to be quite popular, so we'll just make two lobbies to start but we'll still aim for an even split.

Is there qualifying?

I want the Audi, but of course it is popular. To diversify, here you go...

Welcome Jake!

So, I have opened up Lobby 2 for this. I won't be opening any further and would encourage more people to take up GT. If we can't fill two lobbies but there are spaces left in GT in Lobby 1 then I'll be asking for people to drop into GT.
