I'd personally like to see the series make it out of the UK more than thrice..

Scratch CC and Mondello. How about Zandvoort, and Norisring?

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Mondello is out of UK ;) technically.

[RaikkonenRules]

Bathrust enduro? :mad: I can't even survive 3 laps there. :(

[Brown, Jon Brow]

My proposal :D


Rounds 1&2 Oulton Park----- 5 laps and 12 laps
Rounds 3&4 Silverstone------ 4 laps and 10 laps
Rounds 5&6 Hockenhiem----- 6laps and 15 laps
Round 7 --- Bathurst---------25laps
Rounds 8&9 Snetterton-------7laps and 16laps
Rounds10&11 Norisring --------10laps and 22laps
Rounds12&13 Zandvoort-------6laps and 14 laps
Rounds14&15 Brands Hatch----5 laps and 13 laps
Round 16 -- Spa--------------22laps
Round 17&18 Laguna Seca ---- 6 laps and 14 laps
Round 19----Donington ------- 30 laps

The grid positions for the sprint races will be decided by reverse championship order. Feature races will have mandatory pit stops and will use Hall of Fame qualifying as will the enduro's and the very first round ;)

oh pitty no one wants to run castle cooooombe just becasue the track isn't very good.

so the line-up for the spring radce would be broken down into front of grid - middle of grid - and back of grid? kind of like the latest V8 round?

Thats the plan :up:

I love Castle Combe, unlike every one else.

[johnny shell]

I'd wouldn't mind running CC instead of Oulton, Hock, or Noris.

[steve_spackman]

i was thinking of a 50 lap enduro..2 races of 25, and play the second race by the results of the first race? just a idea

No. Oulton is a must!

My local circuit ;)

[steve_spackman]

the enduro could kick the season off and then have one to finsh it off...

ideas please on which tracks for the enduros......

50 laps around somewhere like Spa would take about 1 hour and a 1/2. Few would enter or have time to race it.

so how many laps for the enduro???

[johnny shell]

spa is just a really long track - 2 minutes a lap. so just figure out how long you want the race to be then work barkwards.

it would be cool to have a 50 lap race, but it would have to be on the shortest track in the series! like donnington (1 minute laps), Norisring (50 seecond laps but I'm NOT running 50 laps there!) or... drum roll please - Castle Coombe!

50 lap endure at castle coombe!

Laguna Seca is just over 1 minute a lap.... like 1:10

well thats cool i wasnt thinking of spa anyhow for an enduro...can people please jot down what track to use as the enduro..sensible suggestions lol

[johnny shell]

alright, I'l say it - 40 laps around Castle Coombe to kick off the season!

am I kidding?

you decide.

[tannat]

There are very few tracks with wet conditions available.

I think for the GTs it is Brands and Oschersleben

We should have them both, with wet conditions.. :devil:

[johnny shell]

agreed - wet races should be included.

[tannat]

Would you guys like to see a race at Norisring (the short city circuit)?

Rounds 3&4 Silverstone------ 4 laps and 10 laps
Rounds 5&6 Hockenhiem----- 6laps and 15 laps

Sorry JB, but I see this as a single race per track season. Too much data to process with multi race weekends...

hell yes!!!

[johnny shell]

I would like a street circuit on the schedule too. but I prefer adelaide over the boring norisring - norisring has nothing but u-turns & 90 degree turns. yet somehow it is an intriguing circuit........

no surfer's paradise though! that's my new least favorite track ever!

[real_illusions]

the only reason why i like the norisring so much is because i've been there..great place to go to..great city..great racing there.

I'd have to agree-Adelaide over Norisring.

Surfer's Paradise is alright. The chicanes are challenging..
