    Hey guys, was just wondering if anyone had any interest in a mid-week league? Or is everyone time-poor and unable to participate in such a series?

    I would be looking at 45m max, 5-10 minute qual with a 30 minute race. It's just something I have had on my mind a while now :)

    I would still like to race on a Monday night. Was thinking of just hosting some random races though, pick a PP/car and use random tracks. If you set something up, I'll jump in (depending on the night). But I will definitely not have time to practice for 2 series atm, so I'd be turning up cold each week.

    Do a 550PP non race car series then! Saves me doing something. Or I can do one and takes the pressure off you :p

    Brisbane unite!

    Sounds like you got the backbone of a something already Rumbles. How about Monday nights, 550PP, track announced on the night (to ensure no-one practices), and each week a theme (exotics, euro, muscle, luxo barges, etc). A few races with reverse grid?? I'll leave the rest to you.

    Still deciding on a race format. I was watching GT3 ovber the past 2 weekends and started to consider a pit window option rather than a limitless pitting scenario. What do you guys think?

    Interesting. Could work but I know a lot of us pit on different laps on same tyre compounds. So will have to be a big window

    yeah SqueakyJocks its always a good idea to mix up the tyres and pit widows, but it will take a lot more set up work, but depending laps on track/s and car choice, and if your going to use 2 tyre rule and what those tyres are going to be racing/sports/??? , soft/medium or hard..

    and IMO if you get to much of the above details wrong or they don't work togehter it will make the series a bit of a flop or just to dam easy....
    but i sure you are brainy fella and can get it to a point it will make it fun and bring some of those faster boys to they knees and whinge and cry like little girls.... :p :lol:

    me personally i'm not the best at matching all that stuff up and getting to work..
    i just jump in what ever car is needed to get the job done and hopefully win or at least get on the podium...

    Good points Aussie. Being as I would be looking at 45m to 1hr maxwas the reason I contemplated it as the GT3 races are 1h but implementation would be difficult.

    Gime feedback please!

    Approx 1 hour in total. 10 minute qual followed by a 45-50 minute race.
    Track selected on the day. I need to come up with a selection of tracks, but some will be reverse. For those where it is possible, time/weather is to be included.
    Time progression 1, weather 50%.
    As suggested, car will be a PP setting for that weeks race with a theme. A couple of races could be for a specific car.
    No LSD.
    No high range turbo or supercharger.
    SS, SM, RS, RM tyre selection.
    Stage 2 engine max.
    Any other modifications are fine.

    Handicaps are yet to be determined, but there will be a % system due to using PP to limit cars :) When I make a new thread seeking interest I will have handicaps in place :)

    It sounds like a hybrid between Anon's series and Seido's track days :lol:
