Season 36 Sport Cars Extra Fun Race – Daytona Road CircuitJust in case anyone has GPL withdrawal symptoms over the holiday period, we will run a Sports Cars Extra fun race at the Daytona Continental 24 Hours circuit in Florida USA. The venue is famous for the oval used for the prestigious Daytona 500 NASCAR race and is one of the circuits to feature in the film "
Le Mans 66" which is out on general release at the moment.
To add some interest and authenticity the race will include fuel stops. The
refuelling patch is already built-in to the Sports Cars Extra mod so there is no need to download it; but the link does have some useful instructions on how to use the patch. The minimum number of refuelling stops a driver must take will depend on the chosen chassis. There is no maximum number of refuelling stops a driver needs to take. Drivers will need to devise their own refuelling strategy.
The minimum time a car is stationary in the pit stall is 5 seconds, so given that the refuelling rate is approximately 1.5 gallons per second, it isn't advisable to refuel with less than 8 gallons. Other than that, drivers are free to choose whatever refuelling strategy they like.
Intermediate damage rules will apply. Given that a reset will effectively refuel the car, it doesn't make sense to impose a S&G for each reset. Instead, for each Shift-R taken, a time penalty of 1 minute will be added to the finishing time.
