WELCOME TO THE SOP MOTORSPORT iRacing ROAD TO LE MANS season 2
The Road To Le Mans iRacing Season 1 was a great success and so we are back with season 2, this time with a simplified car selection (removing the out of favour LMP2) and just running with LMDh and GT3 - We bring back 3 venues from last season and we have added 4 new venues to whet the appetite of newcomers and old alike. We have also added an extra round to the calendar increasing from 6 rounds to 7. The SOP Motorsport Road to Le Mans Season 2 is here to start the 2024 year, taking you through the three months of Feb, March & April.
All roads lead to Le Mans in this championship with the finale being the longest race on the calendar, this time without the double points finale however and a singular scoring system throughout. This championship will feature ONE drop round, MEANING YOUR WORST SCORE IS ERASED FROM YOUR OVERALL POINTS. We will have two extra points for the fastest lap each round.
