As you are probably aware, due to the lack of interest in the ingame GT2 & GT3 cars my plan for the future was to use the URD DTM mod which only costs €5 and in my opinion is better than the RRE version of the cars. I was then planning on following that with the URD GTE mod (Ford, Aston Martin & BMW ). But due to the resistance to using a paymod (only three of us turning up to the test races) i have decided to run the Praga's for the next series, then follow on with either the BTCC or Audi TTs. If anyone comes across a decent GT3/GTE or superGT free mod please let me know.
The schedule for the new series is:
Round 1. Hockenheim 30/1/22
Round 2. Brno 13/2/22
Round 3. Kyalami 27/2/22
Round 4. Assen TT 13/3/22
Round 5. Donington Park 27/3/22
Round 6. Mugello 10/4/22
Race Format
40 minute sprint
7:45pm practice
8:30pm Qualifying
8:45pm Race
Rolling starts
Scoring Scheme:
All rounds count
Points: 25, 18, 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1
The following Cars will be available:
Praga
More details to follow

There are many free GTE/GT3 mods out there but the vast majority are conversions, many directly from ACC. Some of them are really well done and make the original AC content look and feel very dated. Guerrilla Mods even do a free GT4 pack which is converted from ACC which drive and look superb in AC. Obviously we're not allowed to race these here which is fair enough, but the fact is if you want scratch built quality mods these days, you have to pay for them.....even if it is only beer money. Having said that, there are a couple of very good legitimate free Ginetta G55 mods from the same author as the BTCC mod, either of which would be more fun to race than the Praga imho. The Supercup... https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/ginetta-supercup-2017.17522/And the GT4..... https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/ginetta-g55-gt4-2017.19598/Edit: The GT4 has been updated since being posted on RD and is now on the creator's site where the other Ginettas can also be found.... https://shaunclarke35.wixsite.com/website/downloads |

Just wondering why we can't race something which bring GTL people drive with us on sundays, is that "we need to race modern stuff"-rule written in stone or what?

Fair comment. Personally I like to race both but some don't like to race the older cars so they would likely be lost to other leagues. There's no guarantee that we'd attract the Wednesday AC/GTL crowd, people have lives you know.....apparently |

Yeah, maybe you're right, but what's a point have lives without racing....  But do we need it to always be modern cars - we have the DP series one week, and now praga will be alternating weeks with that. Not that I have anything against Praga or modern cars, but I wouldn't object to alternating modern / historic That said, new ACC series starts in 2 weeks so I'll prolly do that on saturdays with my buddy and not feel inclined to do the praga races as well the next day... |

Historically we have mainly run modern GT cars, (mixed with LMP and touring cars). We have Wednesday night for the AC old barges. Supertouring and Sierra RS500 is about as historical as i want to go!

Ok, but I like to remind that historically there wasn't ACC for modern GT cars. Personally I won't expect this series to be great success but you're boss and descide what we drive or don't drive. |

This Praga series is starting to lose momentum, only myself and spanner turning up to the last two races. Is anyone else planning on turning up for the remaining races? please reply in this thread if you are. Otherwise i will wind this series up.
