🥇 Classifications

Preliminary Classifications have been posted in the #gt3-thursdays-s4 channel on our discord. We are basing classifications off of driver pace from Season 3.

New Joiner: If you are a new Joiner to Season 4, we will be setting up a classification process based on your iR and overall/avg pace on a track of our choosing. Please reach out to admins for Classification. Under 1900iR you should be AM, 1900-2250ir is about PRO-AM, & 2250-2500+ PRO.

First 2 rounds of the season we will be scrutinizing classification and reserve the right to move any driver up or down in class after round 2 by Round 3 Driver Classifications will be set in stone. For joiners after round 2 or 3, we will keep an eye on your pace for 2 rounds to make sure classification is correct and racing kept close and fair.
