WHAT?
A RACE THAT WILL LIIIIIVE IN INFAAAAMY!
This week, we step it up a notch and visit the NASA US Touring Car Championship!
Remember: Patience and accuracy count!
Non-incidental contact that results in upsetting a competitor’s car (moves them off their racing line, requires corrective steering input to remain in control, etc.) will require a mandatory ‘Drive-through’ penalty on pit lane. Multiple contacts in the same lap will require multiple drive-throughs on consecutive laps.
