Cancelled - No show by Host

Between August 28th and September 18th the TORA Porsche Carrera Cup North America will take place. This series will see the first instance of us implementing a PRO and AM split in the category.

The PRO and AM split will be decided by a qualification night on Tuesday the 28th. Everyone will take part in the PRO class car and will compete throughout three timed races around three different tracks. Then the split will be made as evenly as possible. Everyone will get 10 minutes to set their fastest lap around each track, and collisions will be off throughout.

PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO THE EXPECTED LOW NUMBERS IN THIS CHAMPIONSHIP, WE MAY SCRAP THE WHOLE PRO/AM THING AND JUST USE THE PRO CARS. If this is the case, a team's championship will be included.

Then for four straight weeks, running September 4th through to September 25th, the racing of the Porsche Supercup will take place. The PRO class will use same PRO cars from the Qualification night, and the AM cars will use the older spec GT3 Cup car. Please find the builds of each car below.

Cheers dude

Seeing as the North American car count tends to be a bit slimmer than Great Britain's, I would suggest that there is no Pro/Am split.

If that split was right down the middle of the grid, chances are that it would fall somewhere between Louis, Connor and myself, which would mean that one of us wouldn't be racing against the other two, even though the three of us usually have some pretty close battles.

Most likely I will not be around on the Qually day, as work comes first.

Well, I will be running a NAPS race at Sebring tonight if anybody wants to join me.

yep i shall be racing tonight as well, no stonewall so hopefully we can keep the car count at 6!

Well, I checked in before I took a "nap" at noon, and when there was no topic and no one signed in, I just went to sleep, woke up, and started watching the USA/Jamaica game. When I checked online at 5, no one was on but Louis...

Sorry, guys...

Does anyone else want to run a NAPS race tomorrow?

BUMP

In...


,,,but somewhat doubtful of an actual race happening.

Shoot, I wudda joined but I didnt see yall tonight... I even came home a bit early to make it. That said, I wasn't sure that I would make it so I didn't "in" myself

LOL Connor has diapered off the face of the earth if he turns up he is owed a slap by me and Chris

and me! lol

Sorry all I will cancel this now Connor has let evey 1 down once more so apologies about this.
