    Next to confirm, team size. There was talk about teams of 3 or 4.
    Then do we have the same system as last year as in at least 1 driver per car class?

    more important that folks get to drive what they want. i'd suggest an entry list with car choice & then teams to be decided

    entry confirmation with class choice to allow for more time to choose a car

    sounds like it's almost sorted fellas, good work. Might do some testing myself before I commit

    I was in the faster class this year, so probably GT3 for me. I will of course help out with tuning for both classes.

    Yeah, this would be a good idea, work has been taking up more of my time and energy lately and doesn't look like slowing down next year.

    Probably remove Zolder then, run COTA in August. I like the idea of Bathurst being the grand finale.

    looking at the dates now ...
    we could start in Feb & have 9 races thru to bathurst, or we could have a prologue event? im wondering if it'll be the same group of guys or if we'll get some more & need to run 2 rooms. Zolder might not be a great track to start the season (Fuji was perfect)

    to avoid a race clashing with lemans proper, the 2nd Sat of each month looks the go, but that means racing on the same weekend as bathurst proper, is this a bad idea ??

    Going to need some time to get some base tunes sorted out, the GT3 class has quite a few cars in it, and they are quite different from eachother in how they handle.

    It would be good to have more of a variety of track conditions (whilst still being random), with track temps over about 30-35 degrees the soft tyres are useless on the GT3s, even in qually.

    I'd be happy to move our bathurst race weekend either one week earlier or one week later.

    For the driver roster, once we have sorted everything, create the thread and see how many put their names down. If we have one or two rooms we can sort that out.
    1) Car class.
    2) Track list.
    3) Race dates.
    4) Team structure - as in 3 drivers to a team and we run max 15 in each room depending on driver numbers. Or we have 4 drivers to a team like last season and again sort it between two room if needed.
    5) Team drafting process. Do we pick our own teams behind the scenes like last year, or how does the new system work to pair drivers up? Personally I'd like to pick my own drivers for the team behind the scenes.
    6) Points - same as last season yeah?
    Add to what I've missed.

    Appreciate that we need classes that have lap time differential. But GT3? Really? Can we consider GTE instead?
