Hey guys reminder of the upcoming Corvette Festival Fall League. Begins Saturday, September 6th, 2025. This is a 6 week series on a somewhat bi-weekly schedule. With three 30 mins timed or lap races each week. Lobby open at 7pm. Race start times 7:45pm, 9pm, 10:15pm. All times Eastern US. Road cars One-Makes will be stock. The races cars will have some tuning. And the last week will be a Corvette tuners dream.

Oh I may choose to add a week if the new Corvette VGT is made available before end of the season.

Well your my must frequent visitor the GT Planet forum besides me. Occasionally we get other visitors. I just wish it was less of a surprise. And I do try to help promote the site.
 
Hey guys this Thursday is 9 days until the first Corvette Festival weekend. The Week 1 theme is convertibles. The feature races are the Corvette C1 at Big Willow, Corvette C3 Convertible at Grand Valley South, and Corvette Concept Racer at Watkins Glen Short. The C1 & C3 road cars are to be ran Stock. As of Racer I am allow quality of life upgrades only. Because this is a difficult car to drive. Adding the custom manual trans is highly recommended. Because default the trans is too narrow.

Oh right and I will be adding a week for the new Corvette VGTs. I intend the Corvette Open be the final week. So I'll have to move some things around at end of series. Shouldn't effect the first 3 weeks.

What are quality of life upgrades? To me that would include suspension.

To clarify the Corvette Stingray Concept Racer already has a full suspension. I'm allowing a Full LSD, Brake Balance, and a Custom Manual Trans to be added. No other performance maybe upgrades added. I found I good setting for the trans I can post then. Oh this race is going to require pitting. I'm considering changing it to a 2 stop race.
