It’s that time of year again! #Yes2Motorsport’s Virtual Off-Road Team Endurocross (VORTEX) season continues on Thursday, June 11 with the Inaugural #Yes2 Hours of Crandon at Crandon International Raceway. ALL ARE WELCOME to compete in this exciting, multi-class iRacing off-road team event.

UNIQUE TO THIS EVENT

The Inaugural #Yes2 Hours of Crandon will feature a number of unique changes from the typical VORTEX format to differentiate it from other events.

• Race Length: 120 minutes (2 hours), up from the normal 100 minutes.
• Vehicle Classes: Pro 2 Lite will join the Pro 4, Pro 2, Subaru WRX STI, and VW Beetle Lite.
• Solo Driving: Will be allowed ONLY in the Pro 2 Lite class. Pro 4, Pro 2, Subaru, and Beetle Lite teams must feature either 2 or 3 drivers. Teams may choose to enter Pro 2 Lite as well.
• Unapproved Solo Penalty: A specially approved solo class (Pro 2 Lite) has been made available for this event. The penalty for soloing VORTEX in an unapproved class (Pro 4, Pro 2, Subaru, or Beetle Lite) when a solo class is available is the removal of two scored laps, being moved behind any other drivers on your new scored lap, a one-lap black flag penalty for the offending driver’s team at the start of their next VORTEX appearance, and a five-point penalty (which will cause the offending driver to lose any end-of-season tiebreakers). This penalty is designed to encourage respect for the “team” element of VORTEX for the season-long classes.

RACE BROADCAST INFO

This year’s VORTEX season will be carried live on the iRacing social media channels. Be sure to tune into the broadcast on Thursday, June 11 at 9PM ET at twitch.tv/iracing. Broadcasts will be produced by Maconi Entertainment.
