Further Details
Round 5 of 7 — modeled on the Suzuka 10 Hours, which IGTC brings back for 2026 after a long hiatus. Call this the season's wildcard: the format's less familiar than the European rounds, so don't assume last round's fuel/tyre calibration carries straight over. Boost mode is on. Leaving the lobby mid-race is frowned upon here — we're all here to have fun and sharpen our race craft, so see it through. Content creators of all sizes are welcome to capture this one.
