Race FormatRaces will be 1 hour in duration (+ 1 lap).
Some races will require 2 stops, others 1 stop, enforced by fuel multiplier (2.3x for 2 stops, 1.5x for 1 stop).

The cars to choose from are the two Porsche 962 C Short and Long Tails, the Mercedes-Benz C9 1989 LM, and maybe the Mazda 787B. I still have to test the Mazda to see how it compares pace, fuel and tyre wise. I have added 50% restrictor to the Short Tail, for parity.
