QUALIFYING
Qualifying will take place on the day of the race prior to the race starting. All drivers will receive an invite from their respective Room Host approximately 30 minutes before qualifying begins.

RACE
The race will begin immediately after qualifying with drivers receiving an invite from their respective Room Host. Drivers suffering from connection issues will be given until 2:30 PM EST to make it into the race lobby.
The races will begin with a Formation Lap before a rolling start for Lap 2, which will be controlled by the Pole Sitter. The Pole Sitter will call out GO GO GO for the race to start.

There are 4 mandatory stops for everyone in each race, unless otherwise specified (unlikely).
The races for this series will be time based and not lap based. This is to prevent the Group C cars from finishing and their drivatars potentially ruining a GT driver's race.

If you retire after 75% race completion, you will receive last place points for your lobby.
