A slight format change for the finale - We will run a 2 lap qualifying race followed by a 10 lap main event. For this race only, the classes will be grouped separately. The grid will be set by reverse lobby points and the race will start with a 1 second per car roll off with the Prototypes starting 30 seconds behind the GT cars. To hopefully prevent sandbagging, the poll award is being bumped to 5 points.
NOTE - If it is determined that any driver sandbagged for a more favorable starting position, they will forfeit any points earned AND receive a 25 point penalty.
Now, on to the car porn.

Nope. We can run some laps tonight if you're interested. I really want the cars as balanced as possible for the finale.
Oh, and since LSA has mentioned holding off on the DSC for a little bit, I may put up another short series but with cars from the 50's. Same 2 class format, but the cars will be mid C and A class.

That sounds about right. I think I was hitting right around there with the base build on the Ferrari (with no aero) last night
