Day 1, Saturday July 30th 12pm (Pacific Standard) Room open at 11:30am, for rally qualifying.)

Stage 1: Madrid
To kick off the rally we start in Madrid. This will be the only event to run a qualifying session. We all all enter the track but stay in the pit lane. Only one car will be on track at a time. Once your flying lap is complete the next car will be allowed out. Please allow the qualifying car to pass by the half way point of your cool down lap. Enter the pits but do not leave. Once positions are determined, the event will begin.

The race through Madrid will be 10 laps. The first to "get out of the city" will have first position at the next stage. This session will will be run on Sports Medium Tires.

A 5 second bonus will be given to the played with the most consistent lap times.
​
Stage 2: Le Sarthe
Stage 2 follows Stage 1 immediately. This event is run on Sports Soft tires. We will run 5 laps of Le Sarthe starting with a standing start. To make scoring more fair, the first sector of the first lap will be subtracted from this events total time.

Example: You first sector is 35 seconds and you total race time is 20:34, the time added to your running total will be 19:59.

The person with the lowest total time after Day 1 will have first position on Day 2.

A 5 second bonus will be given to the played with the most consistent lap times.
