Title: CiaY Season 9 LMGT
Post by: BakedTuna on August 22, 2014, 10:22:30 AM
Going into the ninth season I am thinking this will likely be our next to last season. P Cars is due out in November and then there are the holidays so CiaY will actually only be ten months. It has been a fun ride thanks to anyone who has came out even if only for a single race it was appreciated.

With that being said I will tell you for next month we will be at real life road courses with a history of endurance events.  
9/29 DRC(24 hr)
10/05 Bathhusrt(12hr)
10/12 Spa(12hr)
10/19 Nurb 24hr(24hr)
10/26 LaSarthe(24hr)

These will be hour long timed events with the time multiplier set to give us the feel of a 12 or 24 hour event. Qualifying will be established to give a driver a chance at two clean laps so obviously the Q time available will change from week to week.

The cars eligible will be the 2000 Corvette C5-R, the 2001 BMW M3 GTR and the 2000 SRT Viper GTS-R from Team Oreca. Specs are being finalized for cars still will have them up by end of this weekend. Specs for the cars all are 595 HP. The 'Vette and Viper weogh in at 1150 while the more upright BMW gets a break on weight only having to weigh in at 1120 kilos. The same car must be used the whole month no switching from track to track. Racing meds for tires should give the right amount of wear.

As for the room expect fast tire wear. ABS is the only aid allowed.

Points were awarded to the top ten finishers, starting with 20 points and decreasing down to 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 3, 2, and finally 1 for the nine remaining drivers. An overall championship will be awarded to the driver who accumulates the most points at the end of the season.

That sounds pretty sweet.  I'll try to attend as many of these as I can (already know I'm out of town one weekend).

Series opener tonight. But I have been sick the last three days and will likely be less than competitive. So as a racer I may not be much but I will handle hosting duties. Looking forward to seeing you all out there.

7 of us out there last night congrats to FLM, Tanker and Bada on the podium finishes. Qualifying saw one of each make in the top three spots. Mondo manged a P3 starting spot showing there is some speed to be had in the BMW.

Points are updated in the OP. The are 6 of us battling for the top three spots over the next three races. The top two Bada and Tanker have put a bit of distance between themselves and the other four. But with the speed FLM showed last night he has the potential to make up points real fast and cannot be counted out of the championship.

Next week is another 12 hour event from Spa. In game race start time will be 9 am. Look forward to seeing folks out there I mean after all who doesn't love Spa.

Getting a bit healthier everyday hoping can be at least close to normal next week.

Is the LaSarthe track going to be the 2009 or 2013?

sorry thought I had it in OP but I was mistaken it will be the 2013.

No worries, kinda figured it would be, but just wanted to check.  Looks like pits after 5 laps, gets dark at 22:15 and daylight at 5:49.  Should be 16 or 17 lap race.
