Series Description

The Canadian-American Challenge Cup (Can-Am) only lasted 9 seasons (1966-1974), but while they raced it was the pinnacle of motorsport technology. The Can-Am pushed the limits of engineering. Advances were made in aerodynamics, turbocharging, and the use of materials such as fibreglass, aluminium, and titanium. That is until a gas crisis, rules makers, and the increasing cost of new technology ended it.

This series will be run on Forza Motorsport 6 on the Xbox One.

Reporting Of Race Incidents

Reporting Of Race Incidents – All incidents must be reported directly after the race and not during the race. Race incidents will not be discussed during the race and all replays must be saved by the driver making the complaint because if there is a lag which caused the incident then it will not be visible by somebody else’s replay.

The replay/replays will be reviewed by the administrators and a decision will be made as to whether or not anyone is to blame and if a penalty should be given to any or both drivers.
