Club is located here:

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/group.php?groupid=250

Three races this Sat. at 3 eastern.


Races will be approx. 24 minutes long.

Race 1 and 2

French Cars, to honor the host country.

Race 1 will be max 175 hp
Race 2 will be max 300 hp


Race 3 will be limited to European cars, preferably Touring cars. Examples would be: BMW 320i Touring Car, Callibra Super Touring Car, DTM cars, BUT any car make in Europe is OK, max power will be just over 500 HP.

I will run laps with these cars ahead of time and set the number of laps for the races based on car speed so the races run around 24 minutes.

The 1st Saturday each month we will have a 24 lap race instead of the 3 shorter races. I will set the car types ahead of time some everyone knows what kind of car to buy if they need to and tune.

Traction control, etc.. will be on. No restrictions on tires. This is as much for fun as anything else. Time and weather will be on for at least some of the races.

Join us!
 
Sorry I'm a bit lost here... is that EDT or EST? And what's the time in GMT for reference ?

There is no daylight savings until March. It is Eastern Standard Time now. Or 8PM GMT.
