NOTE: This is the first event after US domestic daylight savings! We're now officially on the pegged UTC policy, meaning that events are always at 2100UTC, regardless of where you are. Figure out when 2100UTC is for your timezone: http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/

The GMWC meteorology center advises us to expect the following conditions in São Paulo, Brazil on Saturday, 11/08:
- Cloudy with an 80% chance of rain and a high of 21.7C (71F)
- Track temperature is expected to be 32.5C (90.5F).
Drivers should experience near nominal engine performance under such conditions.
Start time: 2100UTC (1600EST/1300PST)
Note that this is a change in local time for people coming off daylight savings. For example, west coasters, it is now 1pm, not 2pm.

Version 3.0 !!
I just evaluated v3.0, and I don't like v3.0. Appearance-wise, the neon blue run-offs are ugly and distracting.
Also, the grip was increased for no good reason, from our point of view. My guess is that the guy modding it, 6e66o, probably tried to match F1 laptimes for his league's use of CDTP F1. It is an 8% jump, which is pretty big, and in my opinion really hurts the track in our cars...making it significantly less challenging (lower power/grip). I recommend we stick with v2.5.
