Welcome to the GTPLMS
Round 10: Monterry Sports Car Championships
Round 10
Track: Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca - 2.38miles (3.58km)
Deadline: January 11 @ 5p CST (GMT -6)
The last race of the season. Bittersweet as it is, the first season of GTPLMS competition ends at the fabled Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca and the Monterey Sports Car Championships.
Nestled in the hills of California, just of the Pacific coast, is the famed Laguna Seca Raceway. Built in 1957, the current configuration didn't go into effect until 1988, when corners 3, 4, and 5 were added. Arguably the most famous corner in motorsports is featured at Laguna Seca, where drivers pass through "The Corkscrew", a quick left-right combination that leaves the drivers feeling like they've fallen off the mountain.
While this is considered an endurance race, rather than a normal sprint race, BOB will NOT be used. The drivers will have to use all their skill and concentration to finish this grueling event.
Also, this will be a DOUBLE POINT EVENT, same as Petit LeMan. This is the last chance for points in both Drivers and Manufacturer championships. Good luck drivers.

Lap-time discussion rules are being relaxed for the rest of the season. It's been the decision of GTMSA officials (read: me) that single lap-times can be discussed provided the full time is not disclosed.
