    Dear racers,

    I am thrilled to extend an invitation to the Best of Summer 2023, the ultimate racing event of the season.

    What can you expect? An exhilarating competition comprising two races: Race 1 and Race 2. The second race will be held in reverse order, adding an extra layer of excitement. Each race will last forty minutes, pushing your skills and endurance to the limit.

    This invitational event will bring together the crème de la crème of Automobilista 2 racers. To qualify, drivers must demonstrate exceptional speed and consistency during races. A minimum rating of 1900 is required, or community recognition as a highly skilled and talented driver, or have proven the ability to consistently race against AI opponents set at a difficulty level of 110-120.

    We are looking for drivers who possess racecraft knowledge, determination, situational awareness to avoid collisions, and the ability to make strategic passes. Additionally, excellent concentration is highly desirable.

    The event schedule will consist of a one-hour practice session, followed by a 20-minute qualifying session. As you know, there will be two 40-minute races, with a 30-minute break in between. The setups will be customizable, as the ability to tune a car is a testament to a driver's talent and knowledge. There will be a maximal grid of 16/18/20 drivers. Class still to be confirmed.

    Now, you may wonder, "When will this thrilling event take place?" The Best of Summer will be held during the last weekend of August, as summer winds down. This timing allows participants ample time to enjoy their holidays, recharge, and return to the track at their very best.

    The winner will not only claim the ultimate prestige but also be crowned the champion, holding the coveted championship title for one year until the next event. Feel the engines roar, hear the crowd's deafening cheers. This is your moment to shine!

    I can thoroughly endorse Tex as an incredibly quick guy and as clean as can be. He'll be fighting with Drew and Nemesis if he gets a spot

    I'd be up for it, if it's the last weekend of August it should fit right in between our GR Cup schedule.

    Thanks for the nomination, @Gillish!

    CrimsonEminence has politely declined the invitation of Best of Summer 2023, so now there is an open spot on the list.

    Sorry for the late response. I missed the message.

    Of course I am more than happy to help with this. Pleasure to see JustRace used for such an impressive season.

    Send me a DM on discord as that is what I check most often and we will get it sorted for you.

    Things might change by the time you run the championship but currently reverse grids are not possible in AMS2. Nor are multirace events.

    If it does not change before the events you will need to either:
    * Manually do the reverse grid (not ideal)
    * Just run two separate races with their own qually sessions.

    Great! As today 6 racers are up to the race. Still some months to go to fill the grid!

    Dear racers,

    Due unforeseen circumstances I've to postpone the Best of Summer 2023 for an unlimited time. I will report again when I am able too.

    Thank you for reading,
    Marius
