If you’re familiar with our digital racing scene here, you probably know of !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , as many members have raced with us. Well, their flagship racing series in Forza 7, this year featuring (mostly) ALMS P1, PC, and GT2 race cars is starting soon! If you’re interested, all of the info and the sign up link is here.

Firstly, this series will be organized on !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . While I will be handling cross-posting about the series here, the series is being run on and by the subreddit. While I can try to answer any questions you may have about the series, specific questions would best be asked on the subreddit as they spent the time planning this and I did not. Secondly, while this is being run on r/redditracing, the series is still open to anyone and everyone . You will just be expected to follow their specific racing ettiquette, which isn’t vastly different from our own.

The following is the series info, copied from r/redditracing. The original post can be found !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

Qualifying - 10 minutes + finish your lap

Starts - TORA style rows of 2 equally spaced, accelerate when your row hits the line, 500ft gap between classes

Restarts - same as start except single file

Race length - number of laps equal to (2 hours)/(P1 class pole time)+3; race until 2 hours have elapsed + finish the lap, or all laps have been completed, whichever happens first

CARS

If you raced the “COW LMS” at Sebring, this should look pretty familiar.

As per RLMS tradition (when I’ve run them at least), there will be 1 car per class that’s a tick slower, but substantially easier to drive quickly. In RLMS IV it was the Audi R18 & BMW Z4, and in RLMS V it was the Ferrari 333 SP & BMW M1. This time it’s the Audi R18 (2012)... and the GT cars are pretty equal.
