Triple Crown Endurance Series - Round 1 - Spa - Tuesday 9th
Posted: Wed Apr 03, 2019 7:46 am
Round 1 of the Triple crown endurance series is here!
We're in Belgium, famous for waffles.......and Spa.
Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps is home of the Spa 24 Hours, 1000km of Spa, a 25 hours of Spa event and many other events. We're running what is commonly called the modern layout, but over it's life it's had many small changes to convert it from the original 15km layout of certain death to the 7km of probably death we know and love.

Notes for Spa
This version of the track can be harsh on track cuts, so air on the side of caution (like the last league, I'm not going to police curb cutting, but I'm also not clearing penalties). If you run off track on accident slow down as much as possible to negate the track cut.
If anyone is anywhere near you when you are intending on pitting please let them know over Discord.
Fuel usage based on your boost setting can vary a lot here because of the amount of time on full throttle, so have a play with your strategy, there are multiple at play. You do not have to be the fastest to win.
Damage is set to be very low, so even if you have an off, continue....I think you'd be surprised what your result would be.
