UKGPL Season 21 Porsche Super CupRace 1 SebringThe first race of UKGPLs first Porsche Super Cup, in fact, the first ever Porsche Super Cup (maybe) takes place at the wide open and high speed Sebring raceway, one of the oldest continuously-operating race tracks in the United States with its first race being run in 1950.
The raceway occupies a portion of Sebring Regional Airport, an active airport for private and commercial traffic that was originally built as a WWII Army Air Forces training base called Hendricks Field. For much of Sebring's history, the track followed a 5.2 miles (8.4 km) layout. In 1967, the Webster Turn right between the hairpin and the top of the track was removed and replaced with the faster Green Park Chicane, which was closer to the hairpin and allowed a flat-out run through a very fast corner to the top of the track and the runway, which made the circuit 50 yards longer.
The race is now considered one of the premier endurance races in the United States and is famous for its "once around the clock" action, starting during the day and finishing at night. For many years Sebring was part of the World Sportscar Championship, so let's all have a great time at this great track.

https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=9197.msg166098#msg166098As the Team Championship will be run over 2 servers we will mix up the teams that use each server for every race so that by the end of the season every team should have raced against every other team. Paul (BadBlood) has a system to do this but the bloody idiot got himself admitted to hospital, so for the first race I will simply put odd team numbers on Server 1 and even team numbers on Server 2.
Please use this thread to enter your expected line up for this event only (not the season), and if you are not able to enter this event, let us know so that we do not end up with 5 teams on Server 1 and 3 teams on Server 2.
If a team does not enter this event, I will move the highest numbered team (i.e. 8 or 9) to even the servers up.

All drivers may join the server immediately but are asked not to go out on track until there are 30 minutes of qualifying left as this helps all drivers join the server successfully.
Please restrict chat to pit messages if necessary, and this includes the end of the race, until all running drivers have completed the necessary laps.
The Porsche Super Cup Races will be run across 2 Servers, under Pro rules and will be approximately 50 minutes in length.
Lap 1 will be fully moderated and thereafter will be reported incidents only.
