This is a recreation of the SLR Trophy, an ill-fated attempt to turn the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren supercar into a racing series featuring identical SLR 722 GTs. Big power in a heavyweight, front-engine layout supercar attempts to turn the ultimate GT into a full race car. Three short sprint races will be held in one night with points to determine the overall victor.


Schedule
The race is currently scheduled for Saturday, November 16th.

The lobby opens for free practice at 16:30 EST. Qualifying will begin at 17:00 EST and will last for exactly 5 minutes. Race 1 will begin shortly after qualifying, lasting for approximately 20 minutes. There will be a short break, then Race 2 will be set by reverse grid, and last approximately 20 minutes. Qualifying for Race 3 will begin after a short break and will last for 5 minutes. Race 3 then lasts approximately 20 minutes.

Race 1 - Suzuka Circuit - 10 Laps
Race 2 - Trial Mountain - 11 Laps (Reverse Grid)
Race 3 - Brands Hatch Grand Prix - 15 Laps

I was most disappointed to miss this, power went out about two hours before lobby opening and stayed out for six hours :indiff:
Thanks very much for putting it together @The359, the effort was much appreciated even if I didn't get to run it.
