So I did some calculations and if I am right, the Scions can go about 60 miles on a tank of gas. With the tracks chosen, 1 has been added to make this 6 weeks (chew up some time before FM3) we are looking at some potentially long races or some where you MAY not have to stop. Any thoughts?
1) 7/14 Suzuka East 1.39 miles x 50 laps = 69.5 miles. You will have to stop.
2) 7/21 Mugello Short 1.79 miles x 25 laps = 44.75 miles you wont have to stop. Or we can make this 50 laps, 89.5 miles and you will have to stop but this is potentially a long race. VOTE 25 laps or 50 laps.
3) 7/28 Maple Short 1.16 miles x 50 laps = 58 miles. Crap shoot, you might make it and you might not, but your tires will be shot. I am not going to run 75 laps.
4) 8/4 Laguna Seca 2.23 miles x 25 laps = 56.25. Crap shoot again, you may or not make it on fuel, but your tires will be shot. I am not going to run 50 laps in these cars.
5) 8/11 Motegi Oval 1.5 miles x 50 laps = 75 miles. You will have to stop.
6) 8/18 Sebring Short 2 miles x 25 laps = 50 miles. You will make and potentially have decent tires. Or 50 laps = 100 miles and you will have to stop but again this is a potentially long race. VOTE 25 or 50 laps.
So we have to decide on laps for 2 races. Weeks 2 and 6, do we run 25 or 50 laps? I am taking into consideration that we are not all in the same time zone, please also take this into consideration when you vote. Another option since I know I will not be here on 8/4 is to put in an off week.
Share your thoughts. 25 or 50 on Mugello Short. 25 or 50 on Sebring. Off week option or race through.
Oh, and who is definately in, we have more drivers than room to race? If this is not something you want to do then please allow for someone that wants in to race in this series.
