This was due to me giving up in frustration trying to set it up as a stand alone race in LM2.

 IT IS DEFINATELY A STAND ALONE GT3 FUNRACE!

Lol. I vaguely remember that part of the post structure being a right bugger from when I was a mod :D
It's in a really not-obvious place I seem to remember.

Just tried couple laps...this track is designed for karting cars tbh, but it's same for all. I think even Monaco is faster than this, must be.

it is used for GT's and touring cars in real life (and F1 testing)!

has anyone decided what tyres they are going to use yet, with no pitstop we cant rely on banging on a set of softs half way through

Dont think the track is too far away from other versions.

with so many car options available there ends up being very low numbers of them available to pick. I was going to go with the lambo, or porsche but as they only had 1 available and it looked like the lmbo was going, i went with the ferrari.

Couldnt keep up with Apex, lonely race, but still fun driving around here.

This is the problem with the AC server, you either get loads of car choice in small numbers or small choice but more cars. I have been thinking about slimming the car choice down for future race series. Which car are you planning on using this week? I can make sure there are a few of them on the car list

I enjoyed that race, I really like the Ricardo Tormo track. I had some close battles even after spinning off!

Another fun race coming up next at Okoyama before we switch to Porsche Cup series for the spring/summer.
