1. Series Description
Welcome to the first Official Endurance Race hosted by CCRO on Forza Motorsport 4, This will be a 50 Lap race with over 3 mandatory pit stops. The race will start using a random order within your dedicated car group. We will race for 50 laps (about 3 hours for LMP1 and 3.5 hours for GT3). This is not a race to see who can get the fastest lap or overtake in the craziest place. This is a test of concentration and patience. In order to complete all 50 laps without taking on damage or/and damaging someone else you will need to have your wits about you at all times. You will need to be able to decide in a split second, weather an over taking manoeuvre is possible or just plain stupid. This is a test of endurance which means doing nothing stupid at the start of the race, biding your time and just posting clean consistent lap times and not getting caught up in any crashes.

We will not take a mandatory break in the middle of this session so if you need to use the toilet or anything else you will need to pull into the pit and hit PAUSE, doing this will prevent your car from leaving the pit before you return.


2. Race / Qualifications

Race – The race will start at 2pm GMT on Sunday the 15th April, and will last around about 3 hours. We will start the race with a role on delay of 1 second between drivers in car class order. (LMP1 then LMP2 then GT2) During the race you will be required to make a pit stop every hour, so if you pit 45 minutes into the race you must then pit again before 1 hour 45.
You will only be competing against people in your own class. So there is no need to fight for position across classes.

Qualifying – There will be NO qualifying for this event

Upgrades / Tuning – Upgrading Is not Permitted for the 50 laps of Le Mans (All cars must be stock and these setting will be forced off in the lobby)

However you can tune your car so make sure you get a few laps in and get your car just right.

6. Paints

Paints – There are no mandatory decals required for this event, all we ask is that your car looks like a race car and something you would expect to see on the grid of a real life race.

(stock paints are allowed)

7. Reporting Of Race Incidents

Reporting Of Race Incidents – All incidents must be reported directly after the race (not during the race) unless it requires a penalty. Race incidents will not be discussed during the race and all replays must be saved by the driver making the complaint because if there is a lag which caused the incident then it will not be visible by somebody else’s replay.

The replay/replays will be reviewed by the administrators and a decision will be made as to whether or not anyone is to blame and if a penalty should be given to any or both drivers.

If there is anything I have not discussed here that you would like to see or if you have any questions please comment below.
