Monday is our Victoria Day holiday, so instead of watching some backyard fireworks, why not race with us?

Sorry I missed last night but we had a family get together for the holiday. Cant wait for next Monday though for Cosworth racing!
 
Yeah, holidays can either be good for attendance or can cut into it drastically.

So far, this Escort is fun (when tuned).

Monday Night Racing - Special Event

June 30th

Whenever a month has five Mondays, we run a special event. Something different than a typical MNR set of races. Hundreds of GT Planet members look in on our event posts each week but don't race.

This set of races will be 4 30-minute timed races and reprise the last GT Sport Special Event, in January 2022. All cars and tracks from that event are still available in GT7. Three races will have 5-minute qualifiers before the 25-minute race; the last one will be 30 minutes straight up racing. All cars are performance cars, three of them are big race cars:

Ford GT 2006
Aston Martin V12 Vantage Gr.3 2012
NISSAN NISMO GT-R GT500 Gr.2 2008
Mercedes-Benz Sauber C9 Gr.1

The race criteria are precisely calculated to make drivers think. Tire and fuel management will determine whether you will cross the finish line before your car gives up. MNR weekly races should be of interest to GT drivers who want to challenge themselves. If you want to improve, drive cleanly and carefully, then you are welcome to join us each week.

Are you going to miss these races?

Did you struggle with winning the first two Weeklies, this week?

As I repeatedly had to do them over and over, to figure them out, I said to myself, "You know? These challenges validate what we do during each MNR race."

Why not join us and help yourself be a better driver?
