Mixed length will be mostly 80 minutes with 2 or 3 2 hour races. All will use Changeable weather subject to additional testing of our weather generation facility.

voted for mixed class 2 hours event (but since that's highly unlikely, u can consider it as a "backup vote" for mixed class mixed lenght)

Was gonna vote 2h GT1 but voted mixed length GT1 in the end. It'd be nice in some races to have to pit twice for fuel and It'd be nice to race single class races also. This is because in some races that aren't so well attended you can end up with very few opponents which isn't the best for a endurance race I'd still race anything though

I've voted mixed class 2 hour event. I like having different classes. For me its as close as it gets to the real thing with regards GTR racing. Weather my backside can handle 2 hours in the seat is another story Colin

I've voted 2 hour NGT (or whatever that is in new money...). With a proviso though, ONLY if the 2 hour races don't include the mandatory 5 min stop. If the intension is to keep the 5 min stop then I'd prefer 80 min non-stop races. Ditto for mixed length endurance. Also, I'm not really too bothered about the classes, either single or multi-class is good for me

I must agree that if I'm remotely to be interested in the 2 hours or maybe 100 mins endurance races then I would get rid of 5 minute pit stop and have mandatory 2 stops instead hence I've gone for 80 minute races with single class.

If there are enough votes for 2 hour races then we can have another poll on whether to have the 5 minute stop or not.

I moght also go for 2 hrs with 2 mandatory pitstops, though one 5 min pistop would suit me too. Like Jon said - I will race whatever. TT

Isn't two hours long enough to remove the mandatory pit-stops?
I understand why they are there for 80 mins but at 2 hours that forces at least one stop for everyone.

It's the same reason we have a forced pit stop. Some cars can manage on one stop and some have to take two. When one loses so much time in the pits it's only fair that all cars have at least the same number of stops. If we were 100 mins rather than 120 mins though that would be different.
