IFCA Endurance Championship! May 4th

Back by popular demand, the IFCA brings you endurance racing like only the IFCA can for Season 3! Not even T10 has figured out how to allow drivers to share the driving duties as is done in real endurance racing.

Well, here at the IFCA we have long since formulated a way for you and your teammate to take turns driving the same car. That's right, through a sequence of successive pit stops of equal number, you and a buddy can act as a relay team and do a 2 hour race together, and finish the race on the same lap!

The cool twist is that teammates do not have to drive the exact same car, they only need to be in the same class. Also, each round, drivers are permitted to switch out their cars so that you are not stuck in one car the whole season. This flexibility enables drivers to maximize their performance each round independently of their teammate. For example, maybe you and your teammate don't like the same car, and you prefer a different car to what he likes, great, you can pick a different car! Or, maybe the car you picked for the first round is not a car you would want to use for the second round, no problem, pick what you think will work better for the second round too!

As you can see, it really opens things up so that no one has to be forced to drive what they don't like, or what doesn't work for them. The only thing that has to be the same is your livery.

This will be a multi-class event utilizing 2 classes too. Each class has room for 6 two man teams. Teams must qualify to claim a spot for the season using their best combined average practice lap times on Rivals or elsewhere, @ Road America.
