Winner will be the 1st over the line after completing the total of 161 laps in the final session. Race position at the end of each session will determin starting position for the next session. If you fall a lap down you will need to make the lap back in the following session.
NOTE XBOX RACERS ONLY As we now know that private lobbies are not great at the present time, a maximum of 10 in any lobby until it is fixed for all future events we run will be applied.
For this event if 2 lobbies are required, your end race time duration and total laps after the 1st session will determine your lobby place in the 2nd session between the 2 lobbies.
All race times and completed laps will be used to determine which lobbies drivers are sorted into after each following session, so the quickest drivers on the lead or closest to the lead lap will be grouped together to fight for the win in the final session on Sunday.
There will be no safety cars called during race sessions.
NOTE Standing start for all race sessions, but for sessions 2,3 & 4 the standing start is only for the organisation of a formation lap into a single file restart from results of the previous race session. Think of this as a safety car intervention.
You can team up or do it on your own. If you team up only 1 of the nominated drivers will be invited for race session 1 including the practice and 1 lap shoot out. There will be no minimum required laps by a driver.

Remeber you can change your car and prefrence for team mates up until midday Saturday before the event start.
