This Thursday we are going over the pond to the border between Virginia and North Carolina for a blast around the enigmatic VIR. With plenty of fast bits mixed in with a good portion of tricky undulations and esses thrown in for fun, it should be an interesting combo at the very least!

I'm keeping it as two sprint races again as I think that worked better with the lower turnout. If we start to get a bigger grid over the next few weeks, then I'll think about putting it back to 60 mins with the accelerated fuel and tyre wear.

VIR is a tricky track, but I did a couple of exploratory laps around it in the G58 and I think it'll work, especially with two long sections giving good opportunities for overtakes. Please try and be patient in the windy bits though!

Scott, can't do this week as I'm out.
Hope to join again soon.

Eric S · Mar 16, 2023

Will skip this one. New pedals which I need to mount. Hopefully I will find the time this evening.

Maybe I join Mini series tomorrow.

Guido Trampe · Mar 16, 2023

Sorry Scott. Was actually looking forward to drive again this evening... but turns out cant make it (again). Hope to race again soon... sim is only collecting dust now.

Sorry all, but I have to cancel tonight. Got called in to work so will not be able to run the event this evening and due to the low numbers I have decided not to ask another member of staff to step in.

We still have the mini around old school Bathurst tomorrow: https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/mini-challenge-bathurst-historic-friday-17-march-2023.256348/

and Tuesday is the last round of the GT4: https://www.racedepartment.com/thre...-5-long-beach-tuesday-21st-march-2023.256538/
