Formation lap procedure

How does each race start?
1. The race starts by a formation lap and rolling start (that's why the race time is 93 minutes).
2. From the second to last corner we go double file
3. the pole-sitter holds a speed of ca. 120 km/h from that moment on.
4. The race starts for everybody when the pole-sitter crosses the start line.

As of today, we have 28 signups. There are 4 spots left (actually 6, because we have 2 on the waiting list for the LMP2) so it's going to be a great series, but it would be nice to get a full field. So, please come and join us

How balanced are the Ligier and Oreca? (just curious, haven't run them enough to know)

 

[John_GEAR]

Haven't tested them personally, but seeing as they come from S397, it's a safe assumption that they are BOP'd. Otherwise, everyone would buy the faster car and ignore the other. That's bad business,

 

[Stevy]

let me burst your bubble by saying the Ligier is slower than the Oreca (like in real life).
They are NOT bop'ed.

 

[Bill Worrel]

I think that's true, but more importantly, the Oreca has updated tires and the Ligier does not.
