Welcome to the GTPLMS
Round 9: Petit Le Mans presented by
Round 9
Track: Fuji 2005 GT - 2.84miles (4.544km) (oops)
Deadline: January 4th @ 5p CST (GMT -6)
Fuji International Raceway plays host to Petit Le Mans, one of the most storied events in GTP LMS competition. Petit Le Mans is one of the measuring sticks that LMS teams use to judge themselves and each other.
Fuji has changed drastically since the last time LMS visited. The biggest changes that drivers will notice is the very tight, twisting triple-hairpin section leading onto the main straight, cutting exit speeds by roughly 50-75mph depending on class. The other major improvement is that almost all of the run-off areas have been paved, giving the driver a much safer area and a greater chance of safely returning to the course.
BOB will be making his return to LMS competition this week. As this is another endurance race, BOB will be expected to run a minimum of 4 laps for the LMS drivers. Please note this in your race strategies this week drivers.
Petit Le Mans will also be a DOUBLE POINTS EVENT. Drivers and Manufacturer Championships are shaping up, but with Petit Le Mans being worth double points, anything can happen.
