    I wouldn't mind picking a class and having a go at tuning them up. We could perhaps just run an extended practice session to begin with and I will get my setup program going to help dial in suspension settings.

    Assuming we run again with teams of 4, one thing we could do in order to make Group A or Group 5 work would be to have a rule that says only 1 car in each team can be:
    In Group A: Nissan or Audi
    In Group 5: Any Porsche

    That way we end up with a spread of both the faster and slower cars in those classes. It also requires more commitment from the team to have to tune 2 different cars for the same class.

    Unlike last season, I think we need to strictly enforce 2 cars per class for each team.

    The headache comes in when you have 3 or 4 different cars in the team to tune, then you throw in someone had to miss the round so someone picks up extra tuning work to help them out. Not a fan of that.

    I'm happy to run 3 of the same car in the team. Kinda makes it more realistic as a team in real life wouldn't run three different manufacturer cars. I liked the cars format of last season, 2 classes, at least 1 car from each class.

    honestly been thinking maybe we should just run GT3s and LMP900s and team people up after they have picked there car as the two classes are very close across each class and that would give everyone plenty of time to test and lock in they car choice

    there certainly is merit to this idea & allows people to choose a car for the season that they want to drive for all those km's. if we are to run GT3's & lmp900's, I'm ready with my car choice simply because i ran in the slower class last season & naturally have an affinity for one of the lmp's. teams could be organised to favor close racing & with that in mind, Benny has been fired from Team GTR for being, well, too good

    I am all for running the GT3, the only caveat being that GT3s aren't much fun at Le Mans as they don't have much scope for tuning top speed like you can in the GTEs. But any of the other modern circuits should be fine. Keeping Bathurst in October, we will just need to decide how many rounds to run and which other tracks to include.

    Tracks that aren't too short (in terms of lap time) would be best so that the 2 classes aren't tripping over eachother.
    These come to mind for me:
    • Imola
    • COTA
    • Dubai
    • Hockenheim
    • Zolder
    • Sakitto

    +1 for;
    GT3's and LMP900's. It's an easy choice and a good one.
    COTA,
    Dubai,
    Road America,
    Algarve,
    Hockenheim,
    Nurburgring GP - please note I said GP...
    Watkins Glen international - the big track
    as a pick for additional tracks on whatever we carry over from season 1.
