Double Trouble in little Motorland!
Start you engines for the 10th race of the Weekly Endurance Series.
The idea for this combo came to me a couple of weeks ago, and got filed in the dusty attic that I call my brain for future use.
While it was rattling around in the huge empty, cob-web ridden corners, it gathered up another combo that caught my fancy earlier on, and, had a little baby!
To that end, I had better tell you what I want you to do!
This is, as the title suggests, a double header. Both races at the Motorland circuit, race one in the forward direction, race two in the reverse.
The twist here is that you will be using TWO different cars, each with their own handling characteristics that make them stand out from the crowd.
The first car, is the sublime Lotus Elise Type 72 01 and this will be used in the forward direction (Race 1)
The second car, is the fantastic Mazda MX-5/Miata (N/A) 89, and this is to be used in the reverse direction (Race 2).
This will be a DOUBLE points event! And will be reflected in the release of the 10 week leaderboard after this race has been completed. The leaderboard is under construction at the moment ( Thats if I can work out how to create a self-sorting table in Excel )
Points will be as follows: full points 10 1 for the total race time, ½ points for each individual race & points for the fastest laps in both races too!
Oh Yeah! Please pay particular attention to the tyre settings for each race, they do differ!
