Same for me, I'm interested in the super endurance but there's no contest when the races are more infrequent.
Don't vote for Endurance over Super Endurance if you would prefer the latter because if everyone does the same it won't happen! |

I'd be happy with all Gt races. Sprint, endurance and super endurance.

Vote for what you most want to do. If enough people comment that they would like to do Super twice a month we will take that into account, but when the subject came up before people seemed to be overwhelmingly of the opinion that once a month was often enough. |

As I can only vote for 2 I'd like to voice my interest in running GT1 sprint as well. Endurance I probably gonna do GT next season and so I need the NGT Sprint, but I would still like GT Sprints too. Basically I like it the way it is in Season 4.  |

First post updated to make it clear that if hardly anyone votes for Super Endurance it simply isn't going to happen, twice a month, once a month or once in a blue moon.

Is there any chance we can have change the Endurance races into single class events?
I think one of the problems with the diminishing grids towards the end of the season is that these races are multiclass so each sub-race only has a limited number of people anyway. If we just have single class Endurance races then we have a much bigger and more competitive field and even if the numbers are down to 15->20 by the end of the season that's still plenty for a good strong race.
It would also enable us to run in both GT and NGT Endurance events as they would be separate and also mean no need for Masters and Academy in Endurance. They run alternating weekends and the Sprints could do the same.
I really don't think there is much wrong with the current championships we have and attempting to keep 26 people in each week is simply not going to happen, that's just he way it goes.

100% agree with that |

The problems with single class endurance are: - The element of dealing with lapping/being lapped is almost entirely lost - and becomes more dangerous at the end of a race where drivers are trying to lap cars of very similar performance.
- By extension, the end of a single class endurance event is a lonely place. With little or no traffic, after the first two thirds of the race, things are generally going to be duller than John Prescott's intellect.
Since you've suggested it, Shark, perhaps you should organize a couple of 80 minute single class fun races, one for NGT and one for GT. But I think you'll be losing sight of one of the most important aspects of endurance racing! |

Not only that but us less talented drivers get a chance of small, but to us not significant, glory by competing for podiums in D2. Somehow getting in the top 10 is not quite the same  |

I think we should keep Endurance the same as season 4. Allowing Masters to enter Academy races and vice versa in G3s filled up the grids and injected some extra excitement into the racing...
