Uh, you quoted the wrong guy. Anyway, it's production car endurance racing based on some championships you can already find in the game. They're multi-class, too, like an endurance race should be. Here, I'll list them to give you an idea of what I'm talking about.

I'm considering putting the following settings on each championship:
Tire Wear/Fuel Consumption: On & Normal
Grip Reduction: Real
Mechanical Damage: Light or Heavy, leaning toward Heavy. This is meant to keep the racing as clean as possible.
ABS: 1 at max.
TCS: 2 at max.
ASM: Off
Active Steering: Your choice

Yes of course. How many other people are interested? Finding the time for such a long race will be hard to do. But I can manage.

I had just finished a Career Mode race in F1 2012 and already ran a round of the WEC earlier. By the time I got the message about the race, I was worn out and needed a break, hence why I didn't join.
 
Hey JMSA, I love your idea, so I'm going to steal it :sly:

Anyways, I've got a trial 50 lap short track race (about 25 miles or something like that) going on in my lobby, with fast tire wear to test driving skill
