@RedPartyhat I'm assuming we'll be in your lounge so I sent an FR. If I need to send someone else an FR let me know.
Also, the OP says: Weight: 1565/1620*
...but I didn't see an explaination for it...

I believe that it was decided that everyone will carry the same weight

@Bowtie52 They've told me they won't be racing
@Johnnypenso Forgot to update that, all cars are running default weight.
FINAL NOTES
After some testing on after-pit tires, the rear right tires wear out much faster than the front right. Meaning that the car will get very loose when on low tires. I strongly recommend running a higher downforce on the rear to prevent the car from being undriveable on after-pit tires. I know a lot of you guys are running 430-450 on the rear because that seems to be the fastest on normal tires, however I feel as though that won't be viable for the race.
34.5 are the solo lap times that are needed to stick with the field.
The new slipstream has reduced to overall strength of slipstream. I do feel we will get good single file racing where track position is important for pitstops and not a drafting festival like at tracks like Daytona.
I just want this to be a clean and fun race. No reason to go inside on everyone entering turn 3 if it isn't necessary. Be respectful and try not to make to much contact as the cars are loose (bumpdrafting is allowed).

Any provision for what happens if a lagger takes out a car or two or 5? Cautions maybe? Could easily be an issue with a full field and a long race.

Seems a little late to be adding cautions

They're not being "added", from what I understand it's basically only only if we have en masse lag induced melee in the opening handful of laps.

If on lap 2 there is a wreck with 10+ cars and everything goes crazy, we will have a quick caution. But this race will be caution-free.
