Virtual Autosports is proud to host another Forza community event: the Indy 250 on Thursday, May 23, 2019 at 8PM ET!
The event will kickoff with a three-lap (two flying laps) qualifying round with all vehicles ghosted. Recorded times will determine grid ordering with the fastest times being arranged at the front of the pack. All drivers most post a qualifying time (clean or dirtied) of at least 1 minute to participate in the race.
For the 250-mile race (100 laps), drivers will be arranged on a standing start grid order. Cars will release from the grid by row with each row receiving a 2-second delay after the release of the row in front of them before being able to proceed. This is to aid a clean start and rewards those who posted top qualifying times.
For the race, simulation damage is turned on, collisions always on, friction assist forced off, collision assist forced off and 2 mandatory quick stops in place. All other assists are eligible.
Vehicle Requirements:
- 2019 Indycar (Honda or Chevrolet)
- Race Front Bumper and Race Rear Wing
- 690 Maximum Horsepower (HP)
- 1,551 Minimum Pounds (LBS) Vehicle Curb Weight
Registered drivers MUST be in the lobby (join off Gamertag: The Shadow Edge) promptly at 8PM ET for the start of qualifying. Drivers who don’t appear may be replaced by any wait list drivers.
An end of race timer of 5 minutes will be employed to allow racers to complete after the winning driver has crossed the finish line. Please keep your driving clean and use utmost sportsmanship. Drivers who demonstrate un-sportsmanlike behavior may be barred from future Virtual Autorsports events.
