Sooo...what exactly is the duration now? Title says 2h, details say 144 min (2.4h). What is correct now? EDIT: thanks for update 2h it is.
I haven't put a very decent time on the leaderboard yet (around #600). I was hoping to get that done tomorrow morning, as it says here the leaderboard closes tomorrow noon. But it is already closed, what's up with that?

Balance of Performance for the Bathurst 2H Ranked Event Here it is, the BoP for the second Ranked Event of 2024! Practice servers has been updated with the Balance of Performance. Notes from the BoP team: Don't be frightened by the big ballast weight numbers! Bathurst is a bit of an odd track that is very sensitive to power, drag and downforce compared to car weight. The McLaren 720S is an odd one out, with it being an older generation car and thus having a power/drag ratio that can feel a little out of place compared to current gen GT3 cars that are generally low powered, but very slippery. We've noticed it was at times a frustrating car to drive in battle at Daytona. In order to get it up to speed at the end of the straight, we needed to put some significant weight on the car to keep lap times in check.
