Welcome to Le Mans style multiclass endurance racing on Xbox One. Round 1 starts off at the famous Circuit des 24 Heures Du Mans in France.

On race night, there will be qualifying only before the race.

Please be aware, those in slower classes may have quicker classes come up behind you quickly. Keep an eye on your mirrors. It is also advisable to keep your race map on so you can see car positions, in particular coming out of the pits.

Overtaking etiquette will be as follows:- overtaking cars must make the move with due care. It is the overtaking cars resposibilty to do it safely. Please note, this means slower cars have the right of race line through the corners, but once on the straights, keep to one side so quicker cars can pass safely. Those racing in the same class may defend race lines, but only ONE move to defend is permitted. WEAVING will not be tolerated. Once an overtaking car gets along side, you MUST leave at least a cars width on the track for them and not crowd each other off the track.

Good racing last night with 7 finishers in total from the starting 10 after 2 hours.
Steel Jockey came home 1st after 34 laps driving the LMP1 Audi R18 e-tron quattro, followed by the Prototype 2 cars of RawliRS in 2nd place driving the Radical SR8-RX, 3rd WoodyLizard Caterham SP/300R both 4 laps down and 4th RawlisDad1958 in another Radical SR8-RX a further lap down.
GT3's came in 5th & 6th with RUFFRIDA13 driving the Mercedes-AMG and D3L8OY in the Aston Martin V12 Vantage respectively both completing 29 laps.
The unluck story goes to frogpro007 who found himself completely damaged after lap 2 just into his 3rd lap but managed to limp his Mareck RP 339H LMP1 car around the 13.6km circuit back to the pits for repairs and finished 12 laps down in last place.
