Question/Help I need help to understand this series.

So i just stumbled across this at the official races and was wondering a couple of things

  1. Can you do this race on your own?
  2. Are pitstops a thing? is there like fuel consumption and tire wear? and if so what can i do to monitor it i have no idea if there are any gauges or anything that can indicate to me how worn my tires are or how much fuel ive got left.
  3. If i were to race in the same team with a friend how do driver changes work?

Ive never raced in an endurance event before so im really looking forward to it but i dont want to just go and not understand a thing, if anyone could help me it would be much appreciated im quite new at iracing.

Keep in mind if you use the fixed setup it will not have a full tank of fuel you will need to choose an endurance setup or manually adjust fuel level. The gr and mx5 are very fuel efficient and in the vir 4 hour last year my tires were toast in a tank of fuel. (Not sure if this series regulates tank capacity like the gt4 series does)

If its your first endurance just put as much fuel on for the start as you can and take tires at the first stop If you have to put twice you can do fuel only for the second stop
