Description and Instructions
welcome all to the Bathurst 2.4!
In prep for the highly-anticipated iRacing Bathurst 12, come join FRS for our 2nd miniDURO race of 2026 - the Bathurst 2.4! Open to both solo & 2-driver team entries that gives drivers & teams a shakedown for the big event! The race will feature the same GT3 cars as the special event.New to miniDURO is the introduction of Pro/Am/Club classes - same blistering action on track but with a focus on rewarding drivers within their class so everyone has more to race for. There's a 2500/1700 sportscar iR cutoff between the classes as a guide, but this is adjustable based on signups to reach appropriate class grids.

We're proud to host the broadcast for the race on our own twitch channel! See the above link on raceday for the stream
Live stewarding
We have live stewarding for the session with stewards on hand to keep an eye on proceedings as well as dish out penalties as/when required. For those interested, we will make use of the iRacing Live Stewarding App to achieve this. We are using our own ruleset that we expect all drivers to (see our Rules here). For the smooth running of the event, we will not be making use of full-course yellow nor deploying the safety car for the duration of the race.
CUSTOM LIVERIES
We love to see custom paints used in our races! To this end we advice for drivers/teams to use liveries from Trading Paints or upload their own on there since our broadcast will be using TP as well - do sort out your liveries through this tool if you wish to see your car's paint on the stream. Naturally, as this is iRacing, we urge people to abide by the iRacing rules and not pick paints that fall foul of them (i.e. nsfw/offensive/politically charged liveries). We reserve the right to remove offending teams from the race if need be.
