    It'd be great to get into but as mentioned, the missus would kill me if I was on for 4 hours every week or two. Have you considered making it a stand alone event rather than a series with driver teams in say a 6 hour one-off race?

    What about a series of races broken up into 2 3 hour sessions. 1 driver runs on Saturday next on Sunday.
    Could be like WEC. record the deficit after first race and adjust after race 2. Or even line up on grid and start each car according to the time difference to
    leader after race 1. Le mans. Spa. Silverstone. Nurnbergring.

    i'm open to almost anything but still want to do a full 24 hours in real time

    now i'm thinking about spiting it into 4, 6 hour runs
    have a div 1 driver team up with a div 6 driver, div 2 with div 5, div 3 with div 4 system
    i'm liking the idea of the div 1 driver to do the first race and have the div 6 driver do the 2nd race
    before the 2nd race starts if the div 1 driver has a 10 second lead then the div 6 driver will start on green and 2nd place will have to wait that 10 seconds and so on down the grid

    what do you guys think

    It's awesome, but very difficult and complicated if you don't want to be in the same house as each other lol

    Myself, @MINT_GTR, @Beau_Albert @X-WTF_MAN-X and @pikeybraa145 are participating in the GTPlanet WEC and it's set up in a very dedicated order.

    My theory is to set up a 4 hour race, and once it's over, all the drivers leave the lobby and their teammates enter,
    starting a new one. All gaps are added to find an overall winner.

    That would be cool, I see PCARS is investigating drivers sharing the same car on different rigs.
    Theres a game changer right there, imagine they could do it across all platforms.

    i'm liking the idea of once the first race with divs 1,2,3 is over get divs 4,5,6 in
    and have the whole series run over 3 weeks

    Just another 2c to be thrown out there.
    We all know how rubbish the PD / PSN servers are. When we did the 2.4 hrs of LeMans race, it took three resets to make it work. Room would crash when running for too long. Probably just a hosting / individual connection issue, but I personally dont
    like the chances of having a six hour long session with no issues. My opinion would be 3-4 hour sessions at most. But splitting it between two three or even four driver teams, just like the real thing, is a good idea.
    Oh, and I'd be up for it.

    i've got room open now "24 hours of Le Mans test"

    i was just talking with @Killercarlcox69 and i might go with 3 hour for each race
    eg: race 1 with divs 1,2,3 do hours 1-3 divs 4,5,6 do 3-6

    Probably need to run them simultaneously. Otherwise people would be racing either really early (doesn't work with families) or really late.
