FAQ
Why did you ruin a cool idea with all these fucking rules?
It's my series I'll do what I like.
Do I have to build a car that meets the regs or can I just show up with anything?
I mean, I guess you can show up with any car that doesn't break the rules if you really wanted, but that's not really the spirit of this event
I found a car I really want to use and be competitive with, but I don't understand/care for all of that autistic bullshit you wrote above?
Ok, @ me (tes) on Mattermost and we'll talk.
Didn't the Pikes Peak have gravel sections?
Used to, since 2012 the road has been fully paved.
Where's can I download the track/tyres?
Here and on the doc when I finish them.
Holy shit the road is bumpy.
That's not a question.
