The Race of Champions (RoC) will be by invitation.
Regarding ROC: We are going with NASCAR cars at SS rt7, 6 laps. A drafting extravaganza, trying to re-create some of the fun we had there in the first race. I didn't set up a second race, I figure we can just do a preview of the next series, maybe a half TC race, and a few shuffle races, just to wet the palette. It will give me a good opportunity to get pics of the TC entries.
WC - Weather Change, the setting will be left at the lobby default. GT5 will control what weather appears during the race. TC - Time Change, only in effect for Round 4. This will be a night race.
