I forgot to put up a track vote Friday, so I've included a track vote this week, between Twin Ring Motegi and Watkins Glen. Should be a pretty close vote I would think?

Also, I'm going to go ahead and call Week 6 a wash, due to the running the the iRacing 24 Hours of Daytona. Thinking of still running a non-league race, but obviously utilizing the cars being used in the endurance race that weekend!

Open Setups:

If you have a good setup please post it here.

If you are unwilling or unable to share your setup with other League Drivers then you are not permitted to use it during League events.

Car Selection:

All Drivers have until Week 4 to test different cars and still be scored in League.

Starting Week 5 you must commit to one car for the remainder of the Season else you will not score points.

After Week 5, you are allowed to change your car at any time in the season, but you will forfeit any points scored in a race not completed in your Week 5 car.

Track Selection:
The B2O Sprint Series league tries to follow the iRacing Official schedule to make preparing for each week as easy and accessible as possible. GTE cars are utilized in two different series, which allows us a little leeway in track selection each week!

After each race, participants will be a polled to select the track for the following week. (ie. Our track selection for 2019 Season 1 Week 1 is between [IMSA] Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari - Grand Prix and [iRLMS] Autodromo Nazionale Monza - Grand Prix

See you on the track!


Don't forget about Practice Pals every Monday and Wednesday 8:00p EST (Tuesday and Thursday 1:00a GMT)!

Probably won't do league race this week, prepping for Winter VLN on Saturday.

Hosting a practice session at Watkins since we haven't done any practice all week. Wanted to do some side-by-side practice with Deb, so that is why I'm not doing Open Practice, but anyone is welcome.

Sorry I missed this one. I put a nice cardboard cut in my love line (I think that's the crease in the Palm of your hand) and couldn't hold a wheel or mouse until Sunday.
