Title: Sunday Night Races
Post by: SRW on June 20, 2017, 11:41:44 PM +0100
Hello fellow Simracers,

I will be taking the plunge and taking over the running of the Sunday night races from GT, starting on Sunday 16th July. I will be starting off with a R3E GT3 summer series to take us up to the end of August, (maybe with a couple of non championship AC events thrown in...GT3's at Donington & a Race at LeMans).

I was then planning on doing a bi-weekly R3E GT3 series from September up until the end of the year, with the alternating weeks filled up with another series (maybe the silhouettes or something else, I will put up a poll with some ideas in a bit)

Starting from next January I am planning on splitting the Sunday races up into R3E one week, then AC the next week, the reason for this is partly because I like both games, but also because of the limited track choice in R3E. I will be organising the following series:

on the R3E weeks I am planning on doing another GT3 Series

On the AC weeks I am planning on doing the following series
a GT3 series based on the British GT series circuits
a GT3 series based on the Australian V8 supercar series circuits
an Endurance series at Daytona/Sebring/Silverstone/Spa/Nurburgring etc using a still to be decided car type.

I will let you all know more details over the next few weeks as I firm up the details

Good luck SRW.

I'm happy, plenty of GT3s!

Always been a bit conflicted with running R3E events on sunday, I hope we can encorage wednesday regulars however it seems sunday is a popular night for racing.

All sounds good to me - I do prefer the older cars, but as long as I can get my historic fix on Thursdays it's all good. Also fine with either R3E or AC.

Thanks for taking up the challenge Stephen, hopefully the numbers will build up  8)

Ahh good to see there will be a mix with AC too. I'm with Frex on preferring the older cars, but seeing GT3's here are full grids on Wednesdays and also as there are no places left @Core on Sunday's, this might attract some more racers to mix it up on Sundays around here.
I'll be keeping my eyes on it SRW!

I'm up for the odd Sunday race when the AC rounds pop up.

Think you guys are perhaps flogging a dead horse with RRe as steam weekend figures show it only attracts a third of what AC and project cars gets activity wise.  :-\ but good luck.
