Welcome to the GTPLMS
Round 8: Castrol Presents the Grand Prix of Trial Mountain
Round 8
Track: Trial Mountain - 2.47 miles (3.98km)
Deadline: December 21 @ 5p CST (GMT -6)
***Important Series Information***
I have decided to omit Autumn Ring from the schedule. As some of you might know, I took administration of this series over from m.piedgros before the season started, and I am using his schedule of events for this year. But after careful consideration and a lot of fore-thought, I've decided to drop the Autumn Ring event from the GTPLMS schedule for this season. The reasoning will become apparent as soon as the racers realize that without Autumn Ring they will be getting Petit LeMan over Christmas Holiday and the Monterrey Sports Car Championship over New Years, giving (hopefully) plenty of time to get these long races in.Welcome Racers to Trial Mountain and Round 8 of the GranTurismo Planet Le Mans Series. With only 3 rounds left in the competition, points are becoming crucially important for all teams, both in Drivers and Manufacturers championships.
Trial Mountian will test the drivers nerves as well as skill. How close can I get to that cliff face? How late can I brake and still make this hard left? Is there something over this blind hill that I can't see? All of these questions and more face the drivers each and every lap around Trial Mountain, with nothing but their cars, crews, and luck to guide them.
