The final round of our 1st GT Championship and we go to what must be the true home of these big GT's..Le Mans, on the famous Sarthe circuit. We race the 67 version of the track with the full Mulsanne straight. No "micky mouse" chicanes just pedal to the metal blast through the French countryside in cars that were designed and built just to win this 24hr endurance race.
We cannot run 24hrs but this final round will be a marathon for us....90 minutes instead of the usual 50 minutes. Maybe we will see the reliability factor eliminate some of the big cars and allow the slower but more reliable chassis to take some of the honours.
You all know the difficulties with the poor rear view in these cars so please be aware that the car in front maybe cannot see you and does not know you are there. Particularly on the first racing lap! The use of the "virtual mirror" may not be exactly historically accurate but it makes things a lot safer..it is your choice.
REMEMBER TO CHECK YOUR USAGE OF THE DIFFERENT CARS BETWEEN TEAM MEMBERS AS THE SEASON PROGRESSES.
DRIVERS IN THE GREY AND PINK TEAMS NEED TO LOOK CAREFULLY AT WHAT CARS HAVE BEEN USED. BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT DRIVERS IN THESE TEAMS, EACH CHASSIS MUST BE USED EQUALLY. THE NUMBER OF TIMES THE TEAM HAS USED EACH CAR IS SHOWN BELOW.Race List = IGOR

Driver lists can be found on the
championship standings pageThere will be rolling starts for all races with full moderation of both the warm-up and first lap.
Guidelines for rolling starts...
The car on pole will lead off the grid and maintain a steady pace for the 1st lap around 175kph
All drivers should form up in single file behind him leaving 3-4 car lengths between each car.
There is NO OVERTAKING on the 1st lap until the exit of the last corner.
It is the reponsibility of the lead car to ensure that all drivers are with him as he approaches the final corner.
Racing and overtaking begin AFTER the exit of the last corner, so you may overtake between the exit of the last corner and the S/F line.
Any driver who loses his position on the rolling lap, by going off, blowing his engine or through contact with another car ( regardless of fault) must rejoin at the back of the field.
Incidents on the rolling lap ( Lap 1) will be fully modded and anyone found to have caused another competitor to lose position through bad driving will be penalised appropriately.
Also, please make sure that you know which car you should be following on the rolling lap, so that you do NOT get out of position.
The teams have been chosen and the cars are polished and ready to go.

All drivers must drive all 3 team cars at least 3 times. At the end of the 10 race championship any TEAM found to be in breach of this rule will have its BEST TEAM points result of the season cancelled. Each driver will drop his worst 2 results, in line with the other championships, this gets over the problem of missed races and 2 man teams looking for a sub at the last minute.
The events will be run on Intermediate damage and allow
ONE Shift-R with a compulsory
10 second pit stop regardless of fault. (This means
10 seconds in your pitbox without moving). Any driver who fails to take a 10 second stop within 1 lap after a Shift-R, will be disqualified from the results. For this division the full moderation of lap one now applying across all divisions will include both the warm up lap and lap one proper.
