Overview:
The endurance events are very different from the IIRS races. A carset is used that is made to simulate real-life sports car races with 40 cars of 3 different classes of cars on track together.

Racing:
The total race distance consists of an amount of laps, divided into 4 or more "stints" each. This is specified in the settings. Each stint will be run as an individual race, and will have a unique weather setting to reflect the conditions for that time of day.

Teams can be made up of any amount of drivers with a maximum of the amount of stints in a race. As we want to avoid 1 car teams with one very fast driver, a one car team will receive a 30 second penalty per 2 stints.

The results of the drivers will be combined to make up the overall time for the team. Each driver can use his own setup and opponent strength for each stint.

The driver who qualifies the car must run the first stint, and starts from the qualifying position he earned. This first stint will have a pace lap.

For ALL other stints, the DRIVER MUST START FROM THE BACK OF THE FIELD FROM A STANDING START (NO PACE LAP). As always, you must use the files provided by the IIRS.

Scoring:
Teams will be scored first by the total number of laps completed, then by time (the same as any other IIRS race). A default time will be used for non-completed last laps. This enables drivers to "unlap". The default laptime is available in the settings.

For easy recognition during scoring we ask you to put in your driver/teamname in the drivers2.txt in CAPITALS.

Penalties:
Because the use of the prescribed files and weather are even more detrimental to the fairness of the event than in normal races, penalties must be somewhat severe.

1. Wrong number of opponents used: 2 LAPS penalty (for each stint with less than 38 opponents used).
2. Wrong drivers2.txt file: 2 LAPS penalty (for each stint with wrong file used).
3. Wrong weather: 1 LAP penalty (for each stint with wrong weather used).
4. No-show (one of your teammates doesn't run one of his stints):
our team will be allowed one "no-show." In that instance, your car will be placed 1 LAP behind the last placed team for that stint.
5. Late Results: If your results are not in by the time the scorers sit down to compile the results, you will be given a "no show".
