endersai, If Le Mans allows me, I'd like to get involved in case there's a free spot left. If so, I'd like to use the Banshee.

I have fallen quite ill. If this continues I won't be able to take part on Friday. Apologies to Ender.

How do these grids work?
I plug all the names into random.org/list and reset between each randomisation. Then I move into the prescribed positions the veterans - Saber, Grim, Pezby and myself.
When the timer reaches zero, you will need to pull off to the side of the road and I'll call out the order for the grid. Saber will inspect your grid positions in race 1, and Pezby in race 2.
If someone is away, or like Nitrous Flare has just disappeared, then the next driver moves up to their grid slot.
Once we're formed up, I'll announce a time on the event counter (i.e. 4mins 10secs) after which the sticky bombs will explode. From there, we're off.
The Tracks - Blaine County Northwest by Endersai and Oh_Darn
Originally designed to make Broughy's Blaine County North track a little longer, this circuit is one of the faster tracks on the calendar. Drivers spend around 90% of the lap at full throttle, racing through Grapeseed and its surrounds.
The first corner is a very slow right hander, with a long straight leading up to a heavy braking zone that can catch amateur and veteran racers alike. Be really careful on the first lap going through here.
Other areas to note; there is a fast left hand bend going past McKenzie airfield. Oh_Darn extended the track out through here to help cars with more understeer to pass through it at speed - but going into it two or more abreast is a recipe for disaster.
Also, the chicane just out of Grapeseed, with cars turning right for the pits or going straight for the track. The chicane looks easier than it is but rapid elevation changes can really mess with your suspension and send you into the fields on the right or up the gravel run off on the left. Take the road just right and you'll fly up the hill; take it wrong and you'll be snagged or crash into the Chilli-Fyiah tree, named after two drivers who, in testing, couldn't help but crash into it (CHILLI .fiyah ).
Exit 4-A 1 way by Endersai and Sugar_Free_Nos
This track was build to ensure the excellent track by our very own Nos, Exit 4A 3-Way, wasn't neglected. The original track featured a shared section where drivers from two directions converge at speed on a single road. Slated for Season 2 inclusion it was vetoed in a driver's briefing due to safety concerns.
Exit 4A 1-Way is an attempt to keep some of the best bits of the circuit that Nos build and keep it in the event. Starting on the freeway, drivers move through a chicane section of the highway which forms Turn 1. Turn 1 will be very narrow so drivers should exercise caution lest they be punted from the track or stop dead against a barrier. From there a short run down to the hairpin at Turn 2, then into the track proper. Pit lane is a dirt road just after Turn 4.
The track flows in the counter-clockwise direction to Blaine Northwest and has a few heavy braking zones designed to promote overtaking.
The question is, young drivers... are you rAEdy?

Yep - it's a marathon, not a sprint! Actually, on that note: Progen switched cars last year for event 2, races 3 and 4 and took grid penalties to do it. Oh_Darn and I started in P23 and P24.
Despite some early upsets I finished P10 and Darn I believed finished P3.
So with careful driving and persistence, you can make your way up the field. I also had a thoroughly enjoyable battle for the last 3 laps with @pezby.

I won't be home tomorrow. Guess cloud can have my spot as it seems like you had to open an extra spot for him.
