Once again Cincinnati will be hosting their 4hr hours of Le Mans. The race will take place June 16, 2018 at the home of local racer John. He has graciously opened up his track for us to use. If you are interested in racing or bringing a team, let us know by June 1st if possible. Team will consist of 2-3 racers. It depends on the # of racers involved.
The doors will open at 10am, tech inspection at 11:15 and racing to start around 12pm. We will have a running clock of 4 hours. The time will not stop for track calls. The cars to be run are the Ford GT, Porsche GT3, Corvette C6R/C7R, Ferrari 458/575/599, Mercedes SLS, Aston Martin and Audi R8 LMS.
The rules are:
