Ah, might as well.
First off, I would just like to thank everyone for taking part in our first AC endurance event!
Secondly, this is meant to be a fun community event, so please always keep that in mind.
This race will have drivers of a wide skill range, so always err on the side of caution.
Remember that this is an endurance race, incidents on lap 1 and 2 will be heavily penalised, so take it easy and make your passes once the field has spread out a bit.
The server will be up for 15 minutes before the race to allow time for everyone to join, and once on grid, there will be a further 5 minutes before lights.
Please make sure there are no technical issues on your end, test your setup beforehand, we want to avoid delaying the start of the race as much as possible.
I would recommend joining the MEW discord where Iāll be doing a quick runthrough of this brief before the race and where we will be communicating during the race.

Rules and Regulations
There are 2 qualifying sessions (1 has been completed at the time of writing)
Both sessions will be combined to form the final starting grid.
It will be a standing start with no formation lap.
All incidents will be reviewed by me and penalties will be awarded accordingly, post-race.
Time penalties will be added to your total race time after the race.
Lap 1 and 2 incidents will incur 2X penalties
Normal incidents involving contact between 2 or more cars, will incur a 5 second penalty to the guilty party.
The race will be restarted if there are multi-car incidents at turn 1.
Tyre wear and fuel usage has been set at 100%
Damage has been lowered to 80%
If your car is moderately damaged and you are slow, please move off the racing line, do not try and defend your position,
Corner-cutting.
Every 3 occurrences of a driver exceeding track limits will get them a 5 second penalty, this mainly applies to the bus stop (double chinane), see below for more info.
Blue flags
If you are shown a blue flag, let the faster driver through at your absolute earliest convenience, thereās a lot of time to be lost following a slow car out of a tight corner and onto one of the long banked corners.
Blue flag offenders will get a 2 second penalty per incident.
Pit lane exit
PLEASE DO NOT EXIT BEFORE TURN 1!!
Iām giving out 15 second penalties if this rule is broken.
Please follow the narrow pit exit road (green arrow) that follows around the inside or turn 1 and exits just before turn 2
DO NOT cross into the red zone marked in the picture below.
Upon rejoining the track, stay to the left and yield to oncoming drivers, unless you are clearly in front.
Bus stop
Track limits are not very well-defined by the creator of the track. Your lap will count as valid even if all 4 wheels are over the white line on the final apex (left red circle)
I will count a corner cut if you are well outside the limit and make no attempt to take the corner legally, gaining yourself a significant advantage down the following straight.This applies to entry and exit (red circles)
Run-off/escape road
If you need to take the escape road through the bus stop (red arrow), you must yield and give up any positions and time you may have gained by doing so.
Making no attempt to yield will incur a 5 second penalty.
Thank you and have a great race!
