Here we go gang!
Time for our 4th endurance race of the year and the 3rd at 24 hours!
June 10th and 11th is the date so make sure you have the weekend off
Hopefully as many people can make this as possible and make this as great and event as Daytona, Sebring and Nurburgring was for all of us.
Quick run down of this event:
Location: département de la Sarthe, France
Turns: 33
Length: 13.629 km / 8.469 miles
Pit Speed Limit: 60 kph / 37 mph -- (Pitlane: 511 meters / 1676 feet - Drive Through: 31 seconds)
Starts: Rolling
Time of Day: Late Afternoon
Weather: Default (Temperature: 78° F, Wind Speed: N @ 2 MPH, Atmosphere: 55 RH, 0% Fog Cover, Skies: Partly Cloudy)
Field size: 60 Cars
Race length: 24 Hours (1440 min.)
Four car choices for this one so please let me know below as soon as you can which you want to drive as it would be nice to have teams fully sorted out 2 weeks beforehand (still 4 weeks to go)
HPD ARX-01c
Aston Martin DBR9 GT1
Chevrolet Corvette C6.R GT1
Ford GT
All of these cars are great to drive, but all are going to need practice to keep the car on track for 12 lap (or so) stints. I am sure we can get a few different cars in the same stint but I will leave that to someone with brains to work out.
As for being in top split, the Ford is the easiest to get in followed by GT1. The HPD will be VERY popular as it is the fastest car so expect there to be one or two (or ten) HPD only splits!
***********************************IMPORTANT NOTE**********************************
On the day of the race ONLY the nominated driver needs to sign up for the race to get in the split that they want to be in. NOBODY else needs to sign up before 13:00 GMT , you will not miss the race. you have 30 minutes of warm-up to get signed up and right up until it is your turn to drive. The person who has signed up will tell everyone else over teamspeak when the splits are finalised and sign-up is available!
To sign up when the time is right you need only click "team sessions" and click on the team you are on ( with the correct race start time next to it if someone has been using the team in a practice session before hand ) , just not before you are told it is good to do so (after 13:00 GMT)
