Testing has concluded at the famous Automation Testing Track! The officially scheduled time had to be postponed due to bad weather (In reality, I was just really busy, sorry :frowning: )

Here is the timing from our session!
@br1ckfield3r, Arrowstone Serratus GT4: 1:51.53 (Lap 31)
@Magmort, Centurion Gladios GT4: 1:53.38 (Lap 19)
@ZAROM4, Layton R6/467 “Sura” ATC: 1:56.26 (Lap 102)
@Isabella, Hexe Tamara ATC: 1:59.04 (Lap 14)
@NathBit, Vita Gara TCR: 1:59.21 (Lap 12)
@imnotchildish, Grift Galaxy GTR : 1:59.54 (Lap 17)
@Kreator, ACZ Rosewood ATC: 1:59.56 (Lap 64)
@AKA_NOBUDDY, CBC Quest ATC Edition: 2:04.19 (Lap 89)

Testing revealed that there’s a lot of work cut out for the lower teams. Notably the CBC Quest, which had a time that was nearly 5 seconds off. The Arrowstone Serratus topped the timing, setting a dominant tone. Will the competitors be able to surpass this immense challenge, or will they be stuck playing catch-up? Only time will tell. Stay tuned for Friday’s qualifying session!

Super!

I presume they are each car’s best time but can we have the mean time for them too ?
I think this should be a better indicator of the overall performance, no?
(Or maybe you want to keep it secret to add a bit more suspense :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:)

Very excited about it!

I am now thinking I should’ve gone turbocharged.

I’m counting on pit time saves for CBC

I went turbocharged on a 2l V6 and am midpack so… very curious of the concept though. Hoping I have the fuel econ and reliability to make up for that time difference. Upside of being the lightest in spec :smiley:

Ay fellow 2500 lbs club rise up.

Apologies for the delay everybody, it took a lot longer to calculate the race results that I’d originally intended. The results will be posted later today.
