As promised, we throw it back a few decades to the glory days of Ground Effect. Absolute grip monsters that required precision and a heck of a lot of trust in the seals around the sidepods gluing you to the tarmac at speed. The racing was epic, and has proved to be here on Race Department too! We head to Mosport Park, a crazy high-speed circuit with plenty of hills and bumps to deal with. How will you fare around this tarmac Roller-coaster?

INFORMATION & BASIC RULES
- All of the standard Racing Club Rules still apply to this event.
- Custom liveries are both allowed and encouraged! Show off your Photoshop (or Google) skills and turn up with a unique car colour that we will all know is you on track!

As a bit of a different race, there are lots of different cars with different performances. As such, let's have an eclectic grid where you all choose your car. Please choose one of the cars which has not been chosen.
These cars have different physics and overall speeds. Feel free to test them beforehand before making your choice. I am listing the cars in the 1979 Constructors Championship finishing order to give you an idea of the pace they had. If you are a "faster" driver, please may you choose one of the "slower" cars, as a way of balancing the field a bit.
