Oops, copy + paste fail. Calendar race length is correct. I've adjusted the opening post now.

Thanks for noticing!

My sincerest apologies to all the participants in today's production sedan race. My controller batteries died mid race and I pulled over to change them. Once I got everything fired back up I had no party chat (I thought) as I couldn't hear anyone talking. However, I was informed post race that my headset was broadcasting my game audio into everyone's headset after I changed batteries. No idea why that happened, but again I apologize, as I had no idea or I would have pulled over again to rectify the situation
