This race will be a rolling start following a formation lap and the procedure is as follows:

*It will be the pole sitter's responsibility to complete the first lap at a pace that allows the rest of the grid to follow comfortably
*There should be no overtaking or hard accelerating/braking
*Drivers should avoid getting too far behind or too close to the driver in front
*Approximately 20 seconds before crossing the start line the pole sitter should slow down to a speed of no more than 50mph (80km/h)
*Each following driver shall close up directly behind the driver in front also maintaining a speed of no more than 50mph (80km/h)
*The pole sitter should maintain that speed until they cross the start line and then accelerate away to start the race (lap2)
*Each following driver should only accelerate when the driver directly ahead does (they do not have to wait until crossing the start line)
*No overtaking is allowed before crossing the start line at the completion of the formation lap

Sonoma has produced some very good racing recently and the GT2s go well here. BMW is quick but can be tricky while the vette seems more stable and can keep up very well. I must give the Ruf a go as its traction could be useful here.

Not tried it yet but sounds like a good combo.

Jeez, how on earth did you do that time? Its all in the first few corners as well. You seem to brake so late into the second corner! and then barely into the next two! i'm 8 tenths down after the first sector :'(

Thought I'd put plenty of fuel in but I was way off and had to pit :-[  Fortunately I have a splash/dash enabled in my pit settings for such occasions and it was just enough to get me over the line with 1 litre left  :sweatdrop:

Well done Eck, you deserved the win  8)

Lucked into yet another, I'd have been stomped had Tudor fueled it right.

I was on the edge, keeping up. After a mishap (or two?), I thought I was out of it.

When catching again, I knew there had to be a reason. Then, he stopped for fuel.

If I were any kind of gentleman, I'd have slowed...  :laugh:

Grats Martin, getting that Caddy onto the podium...  :o

A race to forget for me! never really got to grips with the steep uphill braking in the first part of the lap. then miscalculated my fuel for the race, I went in the pits to get some more, realised i couldn't get the pitstop to happen because i have mapped the buttons to my G27 (but i am using my old Logitech momo while i modify my G27).

First- Introduction Hello all from a noob, just joined the forum.  I attempted my first race today with you gents, and though quite fun, was a disaster for me.  Was excited to find a group that runs the GT2 class when it seems GT3 has taken over RaceRoom.  So with hardly much practice and not planning for an endurance race, didn't even set fuel past default and ran out lap 16.  Didn't help much the GF walked in started asking me questions about dinner and things durring first few laps of race, ha! Just needed better planning overall next time. Seems like a really good group of drivers in here, and looking forward to some proper events in the future.  Thanks again for letting me join.    C.Raggio

Welcome Carl  8) Always good to see new faces on the grid and a shame that your first race with us ended so prematurely. It was better than my first effort here; a GTR2 race at Imola that I failed to start because I couldn't find the go to race button after I'd been practising all week  ::)

We are currently running a masters series on Sundays in which the car groups alternate between GT2, GT3 and Silhouettes which will see us through until the end of the year. We've been racing modern GTs and sports cars on Sundays for many years and that will hopefully continue if it is well supported. We also have some good fun on Thursdays with some of the older cars if you fancy some of that.
