The driver chosen for this tournament is Pierre-Louis Chaufourier, a French civil engineer who has superior auto racing abilities, primarily with drag and rally racing. Not much else is known about this person as he recently and anonymously joined Tracksurgeon Racing.

Pierre will be driving a 1996 BMW 850i, nicknamed "Le Saphir" for its slick dark blue paint. It was left in mint condition for exactly two decades as it was from the collection of a wealthy guy who sold it to Pierre. The 850i has a 5-speed automatic transmission, two twin-turbocharged 5.6L V12 engines, and about 1,075hp. Stability control was installed to allow acceleration from a standing start.
ScareCrow is on the way!
The new Hot 64 gives a preview of the GT Classic!
Let's hear it for Josie! Bridgette will be back next week, but she did a great job of stepping in. She may help cover the GT Classic.

Should we have a limbo challenge where the entries have to pass under bars without touching them?
I have a Custom Corvette Convertible that was released in 1995 but the original casting was released in 1989. This is practically the 1984-1996 4th Generation Corvette. Could I use this for the race?
Is there any more information about the track somewhere?
Hi All,
Here's another quick update on the track.
First, to respond to Brian's post, we will not break the tournament up to two tracks. If it looks like rain may hit partway through, we will do it all in the rain location. There won't be any situation where the course switches mid-tournament.
Second, in response to Brian and Aircooled's posts, Because it's an outdoor track, there will be an element of uncertainty in terms of how the incline and run will end up. I'll do the best I can to provide accurate expectations and make sure you all have access to my progress on track design. To give you a sense of how I see it likely working, I've made a very rough sketch that is not to scale.

Would it be helpful to start a second discussion thread just on the track?
