[b]General Information[/b]
This season, the Gathering of Tweakers organize the GoT Watkins Glen 911 Challenge. The competitors will use the Porsche 911, and will fight to the finish in a 30m and 60m race at Watkins Glen.
The 30m race will use the Cup layout without chicane, and for the 60m race,the chicane and Boot section are added.
The end results of race 1 will be the starting grid of race 2, with the top 20 finishes reversed.
Between both races there will be a short time-out so the organization can setup a 2nd session and drivers are able to join that session. You’re also invited to join the GSRC TeamSpeak server during that time for a quick interview.
