Welcome to Le Mans style multiclass endurance racing on Xbox One. Round 2 sees us at UK's Silverstone GP circuit.

Each of the three rounds will be a 2hr timed event, featuring 3 different classes - LMP 1, Prototype 2 and GT3. This will give a variety of different looking and handling cars on track.

Events will see us drive through a complete simulated 24hrs, starting in daylight, driving through the night and back into the sunlight.

Round 2 - 10 July - Silverstone GP

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

Start Procedure
When the green light releases all the cars for the drivers to accelerate, everyone is to stay slow and in formation through the corner on to the start straight. Pole sitter is to accelerate up to 80kph (50mph). The rest of the field should follow and bunch up at this steady pace until the start line. Pole sitter will accelerate at the start line. Everyone at this time can accelerate also when they see the leader go. No overtaking will be permitted until crossing the start line.

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.
