Just under 2 weeks until our first race, Which will be a special one off 1.2 hours of Suzuka featuring the same builds at the Blancpain series

Couple of weeks to go until we start this. We've decided to drop the replica paint rules and just ask for race paints that aren't offensive or silly. Cheers

The decision has been made to drop the blancpain theme for the series. This will now be known at Forza GT Open and any race themed livery will be allowed. The Corvette and Viper have also been added to the car list.

Just under 2 weeks until we start racing!

7 entries and 7 different manufacturers represented so far! Test session on Wednesday evening if anyone fancies coming along and testing with us

Couple of shots from our recent test sessions
