Grats to all the iron men who finished. Results are not quite accurate concerning lap one as we started at random grid and I cannot remember the correct order. I'm quite sure this one was a start-finish win for DD And I deleted my "fastest" lap from the logfile which let me fall behind Suti who left the race after me after trying in vain to regain the track for some minutes.

Maybe just remove Kurt's lap times?

I just saw you guys did wait for me last night to join the race. Thanks very much, but as I wanted to join, GTL crashed again and so I decided to call it a night. Anyway, thanks for setting up this event. Looking forward to a rerun. Hopefully with the bugs sorted out and a few more drivers.

This was probably one of the worst ones ever what comes to my organizing. Never have had such many problems with single event. I eventually understood what was wrong (Thanks MichaW trying so hard to explain it to me.) and learned one more thing about GTL: you can go over the lap count given in track's gdb file in online race, but not with as huge number as 900 laps.
I am terribly sorry everyone about the problems in start.
After all this I was exhausted and the race ended in lap seven in my own driving line mistake, sending me to the void. Accident happened in Nords' section, which I have conquered at least worth of 1000 km, so it was unexepected. And of course you get DNF time to time. From my last DNF it has been a while so maybe this was how it was meant to be. I was rather disappointed not to survive even for first pits stop. (I think Endurances being one of my strong points in GTL.)
Kurt's fastest lap was possible because the flag rules were set to None. If they would be set as usual way, Kurt would been Disqualified.
Congrats to all finishers, I will update the Hall of Fame shortly.

Endurance Events Unfortunately a no show for me as we’re on holiday at the moment. But I do have a suggestion. This type of events are quite attractive as opposed to all the short stuff we are used to. It’s a different challenge. Because of the length of the race a friend and I had agreed to drive in stints. A good plan which didn’t materialize because of the sheer distance he has to drive to my place. He would have been back home very late at night. Not good for old blokes like us. My simple suggestion is : could any future endurance races be scheduled on Saturday or Sunday afternoons?
My two cents worth
Cheers, Dan
As this race is only one ran in Saturday, it would be until next year when this happens again. However, I have been thinking possibility to organize endurance championship in which there would be maybe 4-8 races (so maybe average of four to six weeks between each race) all ran in Saturday afternoons. I can't really say when it would be starting, most likely not before this season ends though. Would there be interest for a such championship?

I probably do enough GTL already so I would have to pass on this.

Don't blame yourself, Lasse - things happen.

I would be interested too. How about Sunday afternoons Geoffers, same prob.? Ps. Endurance events of approx. 2 hours would be long enough as far as I concerned.

Yes, any afternoon is out really, evenings only for me. I do get chance to do 30mins or so practice most afternoons, but not an enduro race.

Lasse, why not include more enduro style events in your next season?
The old World Sportcar Championship had Enduros and Hill Climbs at least up to 1966.

Based on replies here, Most likely this is the way it will happen. I will reconstruct the season calendar for next year with more enduro races. However I will keep one extra long event in calendar and it will be run either in Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Just because no one really wants to have race that ends 2.00am in normal weekday. This year's Daytona will be sort of maximum event on weekday and even for that I will make the qualifying and start probably half an hour earlier to make sure that we who (Finland, Bulgaria, Greece) live in EET (GMT+2) time zone will have some sort of night sleep before next morning.
