All race lengths are scored laps. Road course races will have an extra (unscored) formation lap; Oval Races will have two extra (unscored) formation laps.

Each road course race distance is the minimum number of laps to exceed 200 miles. Each race will be either its scheduled laps or 2 hours, whichever ends sooner. Oval races have their own set of things, see the rules for them.

Kyoto 500 the same day as the Sprint Cup race in Kentucky that I'll be attending.. That was somehow expected..

Same for the City 200. I might pick some races to participate in however. I'm not sure. Looks like a nice season in the making though

I'm gonna rock the Kilimanjaro Challenge so hard.

Can't believe the retarded reverse oval race is still wasting space on the calendar, though.

NASCAR's own stupid fault for treading on the usual weekend I have the 500 on.

For the record, the Kilimanjaro layout will be available officially shortly, but should be on the NDR.MiniFBM 2 server for anyone who wants to check it out. And I think I know why you like the thought of it, Ben.

And should the German car come out along with the Corby, England track in good time prior to that round, I'd expect the ky1r round to be replaced by the Corby, England oval instead of any other track.

Can someone explain the name then? I assumed it was gonna be hilly

See it as stylistic device. When Phil and I were measuring the tracklenght we came to the conclusion that it is nearly exactly 1 km long so we searched for some name starting with K I

Missing speedweeks. Question, do lfscart drivers need to fulfill kyoto 500 practice requirements? Or just qualify in?

As always, the Kyoto 500 follows its own rules. It is like the Indy 500 in the 50s, where it also counted to the Formula 1 Championship. You need to fulfill the Kyoto 500 requirements in order to be given the permission to drive it.

Oh and don't worry, we aren't starting like that.

Bollocks. I thought my normal back of the grid starting position would pay dividends there

Bring it on fellers, can t wait

As can be seen by the wreckfests that are the previous 500's, whats the point to have all the requirement stuff when it doesn't stop idiots anyway?

I (possibly we) hope that events have to have better weather, for example Cloudy Afternoon or Cloudy Sunset (not using default weathers, looks a bit boring).

This will make events more enjoyable and if you are driving alone and bored---> You can enjoy the scene

Thanks.

I agree, though i doubt there's many racers in LFSCART with artistic feelings.

Of course! But remember also Lynce's Skies pack... they will make streams and racers view like :bowdown:. This feelings will not happen non-artistic people

Made a change to superpole start time, it will start at 17:35 UTC, giving a longer break (more realistic to get Superpole done too :razz before grid stacking.

Great, overlooked the dates, 500 in 23-24th, St John's eve and St John's day... biggest event/holyday in estonia apart from christmas/new years eve. Shame, was looking foward to it.

23-24 June is only qualifying for the event. You do not have to be around all the time during the qual sessions, you can come and go as you please. If you get in early enough and get in the qual queue and set a banker lap, as long as you have a laptime, you're eligible to race in the inevitable event of a dropout. The actual race is on 30th June.

when will testing sessions begin? or will there be none?
