    After pushing several updates aimed at improving the ranked backend stability and a rather successful test event last week, the second Special Event of the year is locked in.

    On Saturday, February 28, drivers from around the world will take on one of the most demanding circuits in sim racing in the Bathurst 2 Hours.

    Mount Panorama is fast, narrow, and unforgiving. One mistake through the mountain section can end your race instantly, while a clean lap can feel like a masterpiece. This is endurance sprint racing at its best, where consistency, traffic management, and focus matter just as much as raw pace.
    Event Overview
    Date: Saturday, Feb 28, 19:00
    Cars: GT3 class (current gen)
    Track: Bathurst (Mount Panorama Circuit)

    What to Expect
    This event is built for drivers who enjoy pressure and precision. With GT3 machinery under you and concrete walls waiting, every lap demands respect. Strategy will play a key role, especially when tire wear, fuel management, and traffic come into play during the race.

    I was thinking the same, but that's only an assumption. This could be a nice surprise.

    My "pretty sure" is based on going to the sign up page a couple days ago to check if the non evo 720s is allowed (it is) and not remembering seeing anything unusual in terms of cars or number of cars that could be chosen. I just didnt wanna rely on my memory enough to present it as a fact :D

    From a users perspective basically just like any other ranked race with the only difference being that you find it under special events rather than dailies or weeklies. Then you just sign up with the car you want to race and the system does the rest, all thats left for you to do is to click join once the time has come and youll be on the server for your split
