What? Slow French cars? Sign me up!
Wednesday! Wednesday! Wednesday! 2CVs at 8:00 PM Eastern (EDT) (GMT-4) on Wednesday!
If you’ve been wanting to play Forza with everyone but weekends are bad for you, boy do I have the series for you! This one is being run by Viggen, but I’m handling posting about it for now because he lost his password (lol rip). Many of the same people who have raced in Oppo Endurance will also be doing this.

Tuning: Open within the restrictions listed above. Yes, you won’t be able to tune much, but that is intentional to increase competition among everyone. These cars should be a fun handful.

THE TRACKS
Tracks have been chosen based on length, to better suit the agricultural nature of the car.
This will be a 2 race event format, with each race being equal to approximately 25 minutes, with the number of laps being determined by the median qualifying pace. The final race of the series will be a two hour endurance race.
Weather permutations will be used at the discretion of the race director.
Date/Track
1. April 4th: Catalunya School
2. April 11th: Homestead Mini
3. April 18th: Lime Rock Full
4. April 25th: Mugello Club
5. May 2nd: Suzuka East
6. TBD: Spa
Spa is a one off and series finale. If you wish to race this but not the full series this is acceptable.

THE RACING
This is folk racing, so contact is to be expected due to the traditionally amateur nature of the races. However, while I may have said these cars are agricultural, do not moo your way through traffic.
Basically think this: If you can pull a Pipo Derani at Sebring 2016, go for it. But don’t be !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! at Bathurst!
All races will be run with “Fuel and Tires” damage.
Manual with clutch is forbidden because some people’s wheels prevent the use of clutch.
* There will not be a team championship.
QUALIFYING
Timed session
Complete 3 laps, then stop in a per-determined location.
For the last round, qualifying will be 1 lap.
RACE 1

Rolling start
RACE 2
Reverse grid from race 1 results
Warm up lap to be completed at just under racing speed, slowing after the final corner.
Rolling start.
CAUTIONS
To be used for 2+ car crashes, flips, or track blockages.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
THE POINTS
There will not be passing points. Fastest qualifying lap will receive one additional point.
Notice that the gap between points awarded per position decreases the farther down the grid you finish. Never give up during a race, you can make up a ton of points with just a few positions.
If you do not finish race 1 or do not participate in it, you will start from the rear of race 2.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
LIVERY RULES
Driver number must be displayed prominently on both sides.
No tobacco sponsorship. You can change wording to use similar logos, but no names of said companies can be used.
There is no required number panel.
If you wish to use a pre-made livery, please make sure it matches your race number.
Memes and or historically accurate liveries are strongly encouraged!
