TORA BRITISH GT ESPORTS CHAMPIONSHIP 2020 - Meeting 1 Driver's Briefing (Road Atlanta)

Welcome to the first meeting of the 2020 Season of the British GT eSport Championship! The first stop of the season finds us in Braselton, Georgia, home of Road Atlanta.  Road Atlanta is home to the famous Petit Le Mans and is considered one of the best tracks in North America.  The construction for the circuit began in 1969, getting a huge boost the following year when the Can-Am series announced that the yet to be completed circuit would replace the flood-damaged Bridgehampton.  Somehow the circuit was completed in time, and on September 13, 1970, the circuit saw its first race.

Qualifying - Qualifying for BGT will be a timed session lasting 15 minutes.  Once 15 minutes have expired, racers will finish the lap that they are currently on before stopping on the back straight.  The pits will be open the entire 15 minutes for pit stops. Drivers that fail to complete a clean lap time will have their fastest dirty lap time will be recorded and placed lower than the slowest clean lap times. Remember that drivers should be/appear online 15 minutes prior to the qualifying start, and should keep in-party chat to a minimal.
