The Modern Hot Hatch Race
Welcome! To the first HHL official event, 'The Modern Hot Hatch Race'. This event is a work in progress, with hopefully most of the details outlined below.
Time zones and dates may move upon enough requests to suit the participants better, the list of modern cars may also be expanded.
Date & Time zones
Race A: April 30th, 2pm GMT
6am PST, 9am EST, 3pm BST, 12am AEST (May 1st)
Race B: May 5th, 11pm GMT
3am PST, 6am EST, 12am BST (May 6th), 9am AEST (May 6th)
Circuits/ Laps
1. Laguna Seca, 2.24 miles / 3.6 kilometres – 5 laps
2. Circuit de la Sarthe 2009, 8.47 miles / 13.63 kilometres – 1 lap

4. Cote d'Azur, 2.01 miles / 3.24 kilometres – 5 laps
5. Autodromo Nazionale Monza, 3.6 miles / 5.8 kilometres – 3 laps
Qualifying:
For the 1st, 3rd and 5th circuits they’ll be a qualifying, the 2nd circuit will be the 1st result reversed, likewise the 4th circuit will be the 3rd result reversed (please post if clarification on this is needed, I hope you get what I mean).

UPDATED: All of the above cars hopefully can have a;
Maximum power = 228BHP (currently, might go up)
Minimum weight = 1186kgs (currently, might go up also).
So, if you have a car that can be detuned to 228 BHP, weighs atleast 1186kgs (even after a 200kgs ballast), and crucially is a Modern Hot Hatch (2004+)- please post it, and I'll add it to the list.
What I'm trying to achieve is having cars heavy enough that they can be 'lightened' the lightest cars weight, as well, have the less powerful cars tuned up to be as powerful as the upper BHP cars.
We may lower that floor with some tricks (mostly cutting out the top three cars, I need to do some research on their 'lightest weight').
The eventual idea is to have all cars with the most powerful car’s BHP (e.g. 228 from the Volvo C30), with the lightest cars weight (e.g.. The Alfa Romeo 147 at 1280kgs)
Driving Aids:
ABS to 1, and Off (optional Driving line)
It’s intentional that we’re all using ABS, I think for all of these cars it’s more realistic, since they are modern, when racing older cars, maybe make it optional for all, please post if this isn’t agreeable.
Tuning and Setup:
To simplify this, PP doesn’t matter, instead, we’ll have a BHP limit and a weight minimum, this will allow anyone to go up to the most powerful car’s BHP limit, and down to the lightest cars weight (as with the above examples).
Tires: Sports Soft
Penalties:
Damage: None
Fuel and Tire wear: On
Grip: Real
Race Duration:
Race time will be approximately 10 minutes per circuit, allowing an additional 5 minutes for the circuits with qualifying, with 10-15 minimum overheard, gives us a total of 75-80 minutes, so we’ll allow for 1.5 hours.
