We will be starting an Endurance racing series in the upcoming few weeks, looking for anyone that is interested in joining. There is plenty of spots open and we are all clean racers. Below is some more details and rules of the event, put up your name and come and join in on the fun to burn some rubber.
GENERAL RULES
Clean racing and good sportsmanship is expected of all drivers at all times.
You may defend your position on any straight section of the track by moving sideways only once, provided that your movement does not hit the approaching car. Any further movement to defend your line on that part of the track is deemed as weaving which is not allowed.
Track limits are determined by solid white lines either side of the track and two wheels must remain inside the white line at all times, save for a clear attempt avoiding a collision.
A race will not be restarted for any reason, unless due to a failure to complete at least 50% of the laps, in which event the race will be rescheduled.
Penalties will be awarded for cutting chicanes or unsportsmanlike behavior. Infringements should be reported to Race Control before the end of the race.
POINT SCORING SCALE
From 1st to 10th will score points as follows for each race : 25, 18,15,12,10,8,6,4,2,1
The Series consists of 16 races.
A race will only be classified as a completed race and points awarded if at least 50% of the laps were completed.
Should connectivity issues prevent 50% or more of the registered racers to start a race, or a race is not classified as a completed race, that race will be postponed to a new agreed time slot.
The driver with the most points after completion of the 16th race in week 16 will be awarded the championship title.
In the event of ties for a position, superior race results will gain precedence.
Fastest lap time in each race scores one additional championship point, providing that it is a clean lap.
3 Points will be deducted for unsportsmanlike behavior, cutting track or not adhering to rules.
RACING DETAILS
Car class will be Modern GT Racing class, all cars allowed except the Austin Martin DB9, Nismo GT-R, Ford GT and the Porsche 911 GT1.
Upgrades are not allowed, cars must be stock.
Tuning is allowed
All races must be completed in the same car that the driver started the series in, cars may not be changed during the season, so if you start with a car, all races must be completed in that car.
Custom liveries allowed as well as standard liveries that comes by default with the car.
All assists allowed.
Damage will be on simulation, so keep an eye on damage and tire wear.
Pits stops is set to make at least 2 stops.
More details will be available later, so watch this space.
It sound great coz it will be great. racing will start as soon as we get some more drivers. The more the merrier. Come on people, join up for the fun, no matter what skill level you are, come join us on the track, it will be all clean racing at it’s best
Will start as soon as we have more people joining, but will be during the wee, races should start between 19:00 and 20:00 the evening, also if you have a preffered day to join, let me know.
Count me in, I’m not the fastest driver around but I cover it up with good sports. How many folks theres going to be needed before we can see the schedule?
“Good sports” is just as important so no need to be the fastest. Only good sportmanship and having fun counts, so please do join.
As for how many drivers needed - 8 will be fine, 10 will be good and more will be great. BU5T3R’s idea is to have teams as well and to run a "constructor’s championship running simultaneously. Like I will be running the BMW M3 with stock PI R 827 and will team up with someone with the same car.
Very nice group to race with, so hope to see you on track. If you want to meet the group first, join us on Wednesday for the Grand Touring car race (see my thread elsewhere in this racing department)
Sounds fun . Thank goodness for stock engines I might actually stand a chance at coming somewhere. Well you know I’m in racing is fun only if you win that is haha just kidding . Well I will wait for more details . Now that my laptop is finally updated and installed all its goodness I have a solid Internet speed again
If only I knew myself . I fixed it thank you. What can I say things only make sense to me after 14:00 Especially on a Monday damn today could speed up I mean honestly.
I am happy with this racing series. I am hoping to start something myself but would like to talk to you guys before I actually do something . I am pumped for the enduro racing though.

BU5T3R
FA RACING
REBEL

Kinda bad news for me; I bought the Porsche expansion pack on monday and since then I’ve not been able to connect to the multiplayer on daytime, and the main reason seems to be in my internet connection: shared from a 3G phone. I’m buying a 4G phone as soon as possible, but can’t be sure does that day come on this week or on the next one. So I suggest you to try to find 1 more racer before you decide the raceday, just to be sure. I’ll keep you guys up to date!
if you could get your end sorted then that would be great. there is someone that also uses a 3g connection with no issues in daytime. we are online every night racing in a private lobby
I’m gonna try to check if I can see something wrong in my connection settings. If you got any free spaces left at your “night riding”, could I join with you guys? I usually play in night, and it would be nice to race something else than demolition derby on my spare time
I don’t think your Internet per se is the issue. I’ve got a 10 M ADSL line with fast speed all over, yet my connection issues also started when I bought the Porsche pack some time ago. Since then I can’t connect to MP lobbies or leauges, but can start or join a private lobby where no matchmaking is needed. To test, I’ll add you to my friendlist on XB. Accept it and I’ll send you an invite tomorrow night or when you’re on again. Chances are good that you’ll be able to join.
