FAQ
What platform will the race be on?
The race will be held on iRacing and managed by the Monday Night Racing league.
What cars are eligible?
We will use GT3 cars with the High Downforce Endurance setup, full fuel, no tire changes. Tire changes will now be allowed during the driver change.
You can pick any one of these for your team:
Audi R8 LMS EVO II GT3
BMW M4 GT3
Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO
Porsche 911 GT3 R (922)
McLaren MP4-12C GT3
Ford GT GT3
Mercedes-AMG GT3 2020
Ferrari 296 GT3
What does it cost to enter the race?
The minimum donation per team is $250. We will supply you with tools to help you fundraise so your team can hopefully raise and donate far more than that. Teams that fall short of the $250 minimum will be responsible for personally donating the difference to meet that threshold.
When is the entry deadline?
All entries must be completed by noon PT on December 11th. The grid order will be locked in at a secret time on that day (to prevent last minute $1 bids). However, fundraising will remain open through the event so that funds can continue to be raised during the broadcast. Any funds raised after the grid locks will go towards each team’s “Fund Raise Them Up Challenge” total.
What is the Fund Raise Them Up Challenge?
Once the grid is set, we will start tracking how much more money each team is able to raise, all the way up to the checkered flag of Stage two. The team that raises the most money will get a 3 spot boost for the start of Stage three and the team that finishes runner-up will get a 1 spot boost.
For funds to count towards this total, a team must first hit the $250 minimum donation amount. Additionally, funds that were pledged in the Pick-A-Pro auction but not delivered before the grid was set will not count towards the Fund Raise Them Up Challenge. New money only!
How do the stage points work?
Points will be awarded at the end of each stage with the following breakdown (shown from 1st to 15th) : 20-17-15-13-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1. Finishers outside of the top 15 score no points for the stage.
What about ties?
Any teams that only raises the bare minimum will be at the back of the grid, reverse-gridded by the starting drivers iRacing rating.
If two teams tie on total points at the end of the race, the team with the most stage wins will be the winner. If both teams have the same number of stage wins, the team with the most 2nd place stage finishes will be the winner, and so on until a winner is declared.
