Description

The event is a 10 hour race using GTP and GT3 cars in iRacing. We will have 60 teams in a single split. I (Laurence Dusoswa) will be streaming the whole event LIVE on my YouTube channel, commentating for the entire 10 hours. There will be special guests popping in every now and then too from the sim racing world, including company representatives and professional commentators.

Event Goals

1. Raise funds for our community-sponsored real-life drivers. Any amount of money is amazing and will be distributed evenly. We are not trying to sponsor their whole season. If we can give them enough for some fuel, tyres, travel or some lunch, that's already amazing

2. Provide a unique, fun and interactive event which puts the community aspect of sim racing first.

3. For every driver, spectator, guest and sponsor to have fun.
