    From what I've heard about project cars no matter who the organiser is you can't BOP the cars all there is really to do is tell people the upcoming track/ event

    There's nothing wrong with beaus planning and organisation of a series he runs. It just so happens to be a small lmp1 community in Rooz which is fair enough but if there's no interest now I couldn't imagine anyone else making a LMP series successful for now. For a prime of example I have never run a series before but when I did I made it a DTM series which has a lot of backing in Rooz and my poorly planned championship still had good numbers until the final event.

    That actually is a pretty decent idea Vardz, i quite like that...i agree with Agolfer though that perhaps more people would flock to an event run by a proven organizer, i've got a checkered past with event running which may throw some people off.

    I'm happy for you to run it Vardz if you want to, i'm happy to do tables/track testing and car testing if you want for it though. If you have too much on your plate with HTO though, i'm happy to take the reigns and hopefully get a successful entry list happening.

    With what Dave said, i'd probably go against a GT class, i know you also love IMSA, but i think the one class, higher numbers gives us a more competitive and closer field, and well, im sure im not the only one about ready to leave the site if we see another GT3 event!! :p

    Without bop those that are keen can't really keep up with the div one guys anyway would love to see 6 lmp top drivers and 9 gt class cars of intermediate skill. Long races on short tracks. 3 teams. 3 cars per class. That is my dream seriers doubt ill get to see it happen. Traffic would make long races constantly exciting

    I was keen but the event was held on bad nights for me. In between seasons sounds good but what about the HTO series? Won't get the numbers while that's running. You have a small window of opportunity now with 2 maybe 3 weeks until season 2 starts up, and Sunday's guarantee numbers. Pick the closest cars, 2 30min races or 1 90 min race, you'll get at least 4 races in. That's my thoughts anyway. If it is run on a Sunday I'm in either way.

    Id be down for some sort of prologue event before S2? 90 mins of Spa, full damage, variable weather with just one choice of car to keep it simple?

    the second class wouldn't need to be GT3, you have GT4, Group 5, GT1, Group4, road cars... Even a lower grade LMP2 or LMP3,

    Nothing set in stone. Will confirm to all when we have a better idea. At least 2 weeks but don't mark the calendar in permanent ink yet, pencil just in case...
