They will be BARCELONA and SILVERSTONE. Having our Drivers vote brings in more of a community feel, that we find works quite we'll for everyone who is involved.

RACE LIST
On the Race List tab, you will see that we have input the Server Time along with the Ambient Temp we will be using for each Round. Something to note, with the Race 2 Qualifying, we run this on the same day as the Race - so do note the fact we have an earlier Server Time for this session.
We also use some Cloud Cover of around 30%. So be sure to take this into account when you're doing practice!
Make sure to read and understand the Rules tab upon Registrations.
