Top of page post for more views:
Please let us know if you plan on attending the race this Friday. Good luck everyone!
If everyone is able to attend we will split into two lobbies. Lobby A will be the top 7 Pro drivers with the top 4 Am drivers. Lobby B will be the bottom 6 Pro drivers with the bottom 4 Am drivers. This way everyone still gets to race against the pros and can learn something from them. The split will be based on championship points, as doing a large qualifying session across two lobbies and then reorganizing for the race would be too complicated. It may not be so we will discuss it and make an announcement prior to race day with the procedure for everything.

Thanks. Still need a few confirmations so the fate of the reserve drivers can be decided.

@Kross24 @TNR_KING_FILO @rex1825 @CAB114 I really need you guys to let me know if you're racing tomorrow night. If you don't speak up, I'm giving your positions to the four reserve drivers that have already confirmed they can make it.
In the future I'd like to be able to not have this issue of cutting people out because I feel really bad for them. They know they signed up as reserve drivers but I want to find a way to include everyone every week. If everyone confirms they can make it early enough in the week, I can make arrangements for two lobbies.

I'm opening up a practice lobby if anyone is interested.
Not sure if it's been said...but now with the update we can run endurance races to time. So will we just set the race to 90 minutes now rather than laps?

Endurance races was there since the beginning, also in GT5 and GT6. Timed races don't work the same way at the end so IRS has been using a set number of laps for our racing series. It works out better for everyone regardless of pace.

Take this with a grain of salt but they technically have till the last minute as there was no deadline set for the drivers to confirm if they are able to make it or not....agian take with a grain of salt...I am not trying to start any issues or problems. I get what your trying to do but I think a deadline shouldve been set before threating to give away there spot on the grid...just something that was on my mind but its your series and what not I'm just a driver

No worries, and yes, you are correct that I didn't put a deadline in that post. If tomorrow night we are running practice and a driver shows up, I will respectfully ask the last reserve driver that entered to kindly leave for the night.
Next week I will issue the confirmation post on Monday and give a deadline of Thursday at midnight EST.
Edit: You're more than just a driver, you're our head of engineering!

Was doing some thinking today and I'm going to give up my spot here. Not doing any more leagues that are during the week. Can't commit 100% and with my work schedule starting to pick up I cannot guarantee I will be around much. Just going to stick with Sundays.

You sure? If there's a spot open before we start qualifying I'll send you a message just to see if you're around?Was doing some thinking today and I'm going to give up my spot here.

Nope, all good. Sundays work best for me due to work and I am usually out and about on Saturdays. Less stuff to worry about.

Hey guys. I'm going to relinquish my spot tonight. Something came up and I'm most likely not going to be able to make it. That'll give another reserve an opportunity to race

Thanks for the heads up. I was about to figure out what to do with the extra driver but you solved that. We have 16 and are ready to go

If an additional space becomes available this evening please let me know as I should be able to offer Safety Car services.
I would also like to propose caution speed be reduced to 62mph/100kph. The 80mph/130kph stated in the OP makes it more difficult for a scattered field to catch in the two-lap time-frame implied for Safety Car periods.
