INFORMATION & BASIC RULES

• It is the responsibility of faster cars to safely overtake slower cars. When a faster car is overtaking a slower car (in a different class), whether a blue flag is being shown to the slower car or not, the slower car should be predictable and remain on the racing line. The faster car should execute the overtake only when it is safe to do so. If a faster car is lapping another car in the same class then the same rule applies; some cooperation may be required to facilitate the overtake. Please be sensible.
• All of the standard Racing Club Rules still apply to this event.
• You do not need to nominate which car you will drive, but should specify in which class you would like to drive when signing up.

Man this game hates me, it really does. The last time we raced here I had huge stuttering all race through. Tested a lot after, offline, 30+ cars, never an issue so forgot about it. Well, until today. Soon as the race started it came back again. So I had stutter and lag again all race. A few laps in suddenly the car wouldn't shift down, until it all of a sudden jumped down two and caused me to spin. Pretty much had enough at that point but anyway kept going. As if that wasn't enough I got dragged just a little onto the apron and got 2.5 cut points from that. So basically it was all a huge struggle to get away without any cuts while struggeling with stutter.
Anyway, thanks for racing guys. Hope you all had a better experience

if you thought we spend a lot of time in the pitlane, in 3 hours of the actual daytona race the #19 Lamborghini has had to serve two 10-second stop and go's for not meeting the minimum refueling time
