For the first time in Forza Sports Car Series History we will have a STANDING START! What a better place to do it then Road America! Road America is a road course located near Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin on Wisconsin Highway 67. It has hosted races since the 1950s. The first race at Road America was won by legendary driver Phil Hill in a Ferrari Monza, after a hair-raising final lap that was a duel of nerves with fellow racer Sherwood Johnston's Jaguar D-type—an auspicious sign of the exciting racing that would unfold over the years at the track. Road America currently hosts races in the American Le Mans Series, SCCA Pirelli World Challenge Series, Grand-Am, Forza Sports Car Series, ASRA,NASCAR Nationwide Series, and AMA Superbike series. Road America is considered among the best road courses in the world and is one of only a handful of road circuits in the world maintaining its original configuration being 4.048 miles (6.515 km) in length and 14 turns. The track features many elevation changes, along with a long front stretch where speeds approaching 200 mph (320 km/h) may be reached. One of the best known features of this course is a turn on the backside known as "the kink." Road America a course that must be carefully studied to master. Highlights includes Turn 6, located under the Corvette Bridge, where a small hill obstructs the view to the blind left-hander beyond, and the steep climb up the final straight that makes overtaking through speed alone a formidable struggle. The racers of the Forza Sports Car Series will have their hands full here with the speeds and the complex corners and the two classes of cars on course at the same time!
GTC Will have 5 second delay to GT Standing Start.
Season 7 GT Pole Position 2:06.021 (AVERAGE TIME GT 2:07.862 ) Season 7 GTC Pole Position 2:14.214 (AVERAGE TIME GTC 2:18.228 )

The top video with the Porsche Cup EVERY RACER IN THIS SERIES SHOULD PAY ATTENTION AT 3:01 to about 3:35 in that video!
at 6:31 in the First video what the heck was the 01 driver doing?! Why did he keep on veering all the way to the right of the track?!!!
