OVERVIEW
BoA E-Sports brings you the ninth season of our GT3 Championship! This season will consist of 8 rounds total. We will mix things up by adding 3 Sprint Rounds throughout the season with 2 x 30M races (NO PIT). The other 5 rounds will remain - 60M races, all with a mandatory pitstop (R8-FINAL WILL BE 90M). There will be TWO SPLITS this season with PRO & PRO/AM. The splits will be divided into 15 - PRO, & 35 - PRO/AM. We will be using realistic weather this season based upon the real world conditions. Weather conditions will be setup using a track information app plus the forecast.
Everyone is welcome! However, BoA rules and regulations will be in effect, and we expect clean racing.
We hope to see new members as well as regulars taking part in this championship! To get involved please join both of BoA's discords using these invite links:

If any are found to be offensive or of bad intent, this could lead to removal from the league. If you want your livery to be visible to other drivers, then post the file on discord in the Liveries-GT3-League section & we will get it added to the league folder.
