Friday Night GTE Championship - Gaining Interest CurrentlyPS4

There's a plethora of GT3 leagues around the place and championships taking place on most days. Yet there's an omission of Friday. People would probably see Friday as a grrrrrreat (Not sponsored by Kelloggs) night to go racing. But enough of me writing about something you don't care about.

It's intended to start at 8pm but I am willing to flex that anywhere between 7pm and 8:30 as I feel the racing might end too late for most people and especially on the longer races.

Races will start with a manual rolling start so the expectation is to add 5/10 minutes to each race varying on track length to accommodate for the manual rolling start. Alternatively, we will use the game's rolling start where time addition is not required. Feel free to give me your thoughts on that.

If the manual rolling start is done, we'll use the AOR method over 1 lap. We'll go around most of the lap at a maximum of 80mph (Potentially higher at Le Mans) and slow down to 50mph at a given point to allow the field to bunch up to 2 by 2 and racing/acceleration beyond that may begin at the start line. The pole position driver will have the inside line for turn 1. E.g. Left at Daytona, Right at Silverstone/Spa.

A) I would have joined if I didn't have other commitments on Sundays. I liked the look of your league. I hope it is successful.

B) This is on Fridays. Drivers can join both.

C) You run a time based GTE series based on endurance racing. I wouldn't say it's the most innovative idea.

D) I don't force real liveries.

E) I've not even decided on a proper name for it. It might stay for all anyone cares.

F) I happen to enjoy driving the GTE cars too.

G) My series will take place over consecutive weeks with 1 potential break week. Not throughout 2018.

H) No custom BOP
