Unfortunately looks like a very tight window on getting the cars.

The info in the media is that it will be February 16 to March 4 (lines up with the fact that cars become available in career on March 5).

But (at least the first time) it's a 7 day event.

We don't know yet whether we'll be able to run the subsequent runs through more quickly (ie stages automatically open when you finish the previous one). To actually win all 4 they will have to.

But, even so that means you'd probably need to start this weekend at latest to give you some kind of chance to re-run the extra times and get all the cars.

I don't get the marketing angle on the timings though - if Daytona 500 is this Sunday surely the aim would be to get people being able to run the final stage having just finished watching the actual event?
