| Subject: Race for the Cash in the IFCA Far Eastern 200, based on the Southern 500 NASCAR Classic! Sun 06 Apr 2014, 3:17 pm | |
| This Saturday, April 12, at 4 PM Eastern, the IFCA will host its first Single event of the 2014 season!
One of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series' most historic races, the Southern 500, will take place this Saturday night. To celebrate the 65th running of the race, the IFCA will host a 200-mile race on Twin Ring Motegi Speedway, chosen for its similar shape, size, and speed to Darlington Raceway.
As usual with NASCAR races on Forza Motorsport 4, the drivers can compete with the Chevy and Ford Stock Cars. Each can only have race brakes, race driveline, and drag tires. "Wait, drag tires?" Yes, because in reality, Darlington has aggressive tire wear, and NASCAR events in general are centered on pit strategy.
Pit for fresh rubber, or stay out and take the lead? Run conservatively and save time in the pits, or be aggressive and try to stay out front? The choice is yours . Bottom line, the driver who has both a great strategy and a fast car will win this race.
Standard NASCAR caution rules are in effect for this race, see the rulebook for the details by clicking the links at the end of this newsletter.
Qualifying will be VERY important for this race. The Admins and staff will be hosting Q sessions this week. These sessions will be 20 minutes long, reflecting the group qualifying procedure the current NASCAR rules call for. You must put up a time fast enough to be in the top 15 to race on Saturday. If you're in the top 5 when it's all over, we'll invite you to a second session to go for the pole position.
The race will be a 2 hour timer, and the winner of the race is the leader when the time runs out, which should be around a 200-mile distance.
And did we mention the prize for winning? $25! Yes, $25 cash to win this challenging 200-mile race.
We hope you will join us to attempt to qualify into what will be a thrilling race, which we anticipate will test the speed, strategy, and car management skills of every driver involved. This will be one heck of a race, so let's go racing!
