Hey guys, so lately I’ve been testing out some cars to see if I could create a series based loosely around the Blancpain Endurance Series. If there is some interest I’d be more than happy to get it up and running. I’ll get right to it and if enough interest is generated, then I will get started on creating a forum for us to communicate on and so on…
Rules
- All skill levels are welcome, but you MUST drive cleanly at all times
- Simulation Damage (includes Tyre Wear)
- Assists: Optional
- Transmission: Automatic or Manual
- Corner cutting will absolutely not be tolerated. You are allowed to roll over the curbs (i.e. Turns 14/15 on Catalunya)
- Ramming will absolutely not be tolerated, unintentional contact is inevitable. Hopefully simulation damage will help negate the large majority of contact as it will negatively affect both drivers greatly
Cars
2008 Aston Martin DBS
2013 Audi R8 V10 FSI Quattro
2009 Ferrari F458 Italia
2011 Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera
2011 McLaren MP4-12C
2011 Mercedes SLS AMG
2012 Nissan GTR Black Edition
2011 Ruf Rt 12 S
Note: There will be a maximum of 2 of each car
Tunes & Liveries
Tunes: All cars will be a maximum PI of S800 and a minimum of S790. Rather than have locked builds for each car, I think it would be fun to reward some of the tuners as well. Obviously there will be guidelines for BHP, Weight, and Stats. Those are still being determined.
Liveries: A racing livery is required. There are many available liveries from the Blancpain Endurance Series and FIA GT. It is recommended that drivers use one of these liveries. If you would like to make your own, that is absolutely encouraged! The only requirement for liveries is that they carry a number plate and at least one sponsorship.

Schedule
To be determined. This will depend primarily on availability of racers. We will want to have as many racers as possible for each race. Right now I am thinking that 12:00PM EST on Sundays will be ideal so that both American and European Drivers will be able to compete. If you miss a race, you will be awarded the minimum number of points.
Qualifying
There will be a 2 Lap (3 Total Laps) Qualifying Session before each race with all cars racing as ghosts. Only clean laps will be allowed. Example: If there are 9 clean laps and 7 Dirty Laps, regardless of time, the 9 clean laps will be awarded the top 9 spots

Hopefully there will be enough interest to get this up and running!
