The fun tournament will take place on the PC version of F1 2021.  

The circuit will be announced on Thursday 24th February.

We will host 2 qualifying lap sessions on Friday.

One session at 13:00 on Friday, another at 14:00 on Friday.  YOU CAN ONLY TAKE PART IN ONE SESSION, UNLESS THERE'S SOME SORT OF HIDEOUS DISCONNECTION OR ISSUE - admin's decision is final on readmittance!  It's not a second chance if you did bad, but a second chance if external issues affect you.

Finishing times will be catalogued, and the top 20 finishing times will be selected to participate in the FINAL on Saturday at 13:00.  

(NOTE For the final you MUST be in the server on Saturday by 13:00 ready for the start shortly after this time, if you're not in by the time we start, you're eliminated!)
