ANZCRL's 5th edition of our league's fan favorite Imola 4 Hour special event. AUS/NZ Combined Racing League have run this 2 hour endurance race on Xbox Project CARS2 over the last 4 years using a variation of race classes and are excited to bring this event to Automobilista 2 on PC for the first of what we think will be many to come. The race will be run over 2 hours with x2 time progression simulating 4 hours. A winner's plaque will be awarded at the end of 2023 to the winner of the race. Who will be the 1st to etch their name into ANZCRL history books on AMS2?
