The previously mentioned Road Racing Series starts this Thursday (25th August) in the
Historic Racing Club. The points scoring but still casual, race-by-race sign up series follows Club Rules rather than the slightly more regimented League format.
We are using the hugely impressive Ferrari 250GTO mod produced by Butch and Team, a heady blend of torque and handling, topped off by that screaming 12 cylinder powerplant. It can be an overused word when describing vehicles in Sim Racing, but if any car deserves the epithet of "legendary", it is the 250GTO.
The series will be using long, temporary public road style courses, on Historic layouts contemporary with the vehicles, to get maximum fun out of these superlative pieces of engineering.
As the Series is designed to start like a volcano and build from there, we begin at the 1967 layout of Bathurst Mount Panorama on Thursday 25th August.
The series will run on 5 consecutive Thursdays, and will comprise of 2 x 75km races - although there is a possibility of making the final event a single 150km race around the 1970 layout of Le Mans.

Great work guys.
