I don't think I can do them all, but I will probably do the GTM series. Depending on what day and timeyou run it.

Look forward to having you with us. Race time will probably be 20:00 with usual practice and quali before. The GTM series will be 12 races with the best 10 results counting towards championship so that divers who have to miss a couple f races still have equal chance in champ. The endurance and Aquila cup series will be best 5 results from 6.

Hi GT,
I notice from Season 1's results, that drivers are not locked to a car for the full season, and can change machine per track, is that the case for this season?
Cheers

My understanding is that Drivers choose a car for the full season but can do one free change without penalty. Further changes will incur a 50% points loss. But GT is the Boss so he has the final say.

Tony is correct. I wasn't sure what to do regards car choice for this coming GT3 season. The main possibilities were: free choice for all races with no restriction (like last season) limited car changes (the one I chose) 1 or 2 max drives per car There are of course other ways and they all have their merits. In the good old days of GTR2 here I loved the restrictions of choosing one (one change allowed) car to drive per season as it just added to the real life experience a bit. The idea was that cars would have different relative strengths at different tracks which worked well in GTR2. Personally I'm not so sure about these GT3 cars For me the Camaro is a dog on any track and a well driven Ford GT will win most races so it doesn't work so well imo. The GTM season is now set up for one car change with no penalty so we'll keep it that way and see how it works. There is no restriction on the GTR3 car choice for the endurance events so that will allow drivers more freedom to try cars they fancy for a particular race. Seems a fair compromise. It would be nice to see the quicker drivers steer away from the quickest cars but that gets very subjective. A championship success ballast could mix things up a bit. There is talk of Raceroom having a ballast system in future which we'll look at when it arrives.

Yeah, I had a look at some of the leaderboard times, and the Ford does seem to be a quick machine. I didn't want to drive it, as I wanted to know that my pace was me, rather than the car. I don't expect to be right at the front, and if it's full of fords in front of me, then so be it - I would rather the challenge!
But I'm now torn between the RUF / Alpina Couldn't get a hold of the RUF in pCars, and it seems to drive more to my style in RRE pCars doesn't have the B6, and I'm a BM driver irl, so I have a natural allegance to the Barvarian machines (Driving the Z4 in pCars league atm).
Will need to do a bit of testing, but I felt faster in the RUF at Zandvoort, but made a few mistakes. If the Alpina is a little slower but more consistent for me, that might be my better choice.
But yes, the single swap sounds like a good compromise! Thanks for clearing that up!!!

Hey
Are we using the Adac GTM cars only? Because there are no fords or rufs in that series. Or am I mistaken?

I believe Goldtop has just called the series GT Masters, It doesnt relate to the adac class in game. The cars used will part of the GTR3 class, so you can pick the Ford or Ruf.

Hi, i did ask in another thread about joining one of your seasons, then kinda forgot about it (old age), do i have to register my interest anywhere or can i just drop in on the day and race? Do you use teamspeak or anything like that? Do you have servers up 24/7 or just on race day? Love the idea of longer races, havnt done anything like that since the days of gp4. Look forward to racing you guys soon, i think

TS is available but not my area of expertise so I'll let someone else answer that one Praccy server runs all the time except for other series race nights when it is turned off to reduce load on server
