Problem with those little go-kart cars, is that robs the rest of the field of at least 3 drivers to race against, as the 3 of you in Vertigos will just be fighting each other really  I know pitstop strategy comes into play with them but would rather fight cars on track than through pit stops  |

I could be tempted into the Vertigo too. Since I did the Team Shark skin it's barely been used.  Then again 2 hours of Vertigo maybe too much too handle.  |

That's not really fair Mark, there have been plenty of occasions when Vertigo's have beaten GTC's and even a few GT2's here and there...

Well as long as it ain't Spa or Monza anyway Pops then they stand a chance. |

Did we abandon add-on tracks all together? We - as the Legends Racing - have tested some tracks and I don't recall finding any flaw in, say, Road America or Watkins Glenn. Again, great tracks, I'd say equivalent to Spa, with slow&fast curves & enough wide and flowing to allow ample overtaking opportunities. Made for 2 hour race in any/all categorys.  TT |

I agree with Truetom, Road America please. Its wide, fast, not too long, with some tricky places and isnt heavy with the FPS also. Could be fun with the V8 mod aswell or...why not the P&Glory mod? Cheers |

I'm hoping to use lasercutter's Brands Hatch GP for this, although my initial testing suggests it may be a touch heavy on the old frame rate.
Given our current server troubles it may be that we have to take one race out of the Season 6 calendar, in which case we'll probably use that track instead.

I'll drive this if I can....although I'll be bk home for Xmas and that might mean that I'll either be on my old PC, or I'll have no wheels/pedals...... I could always race with my PS2 pad? |

Proposed track - Brands Hatch 2005 GP - now available from here. Please download and let me know what you think - I'm not sure about the textures but after a lap or two frame rate seems okay. |

Haven't decided yet, and if so we could do it in the pits like we did at Spa. |

I personally hope there isn't a 5 minute break. It spoils the flow of the race. Afterall, it's called Endurance, not 2 Sprints.  |

Just tried out that track. It's the best Brands conversion I have seen.  Frame rates appear to be good too..  |

Framerates are ok, but way down on the standard tracks. Getting between 115fps and 150fps on mine where I'd normally get over 200fps. Also there something odd with the textures because they're all grainy, not smooth, it's like shimmering. This is the best modelled version of modern Brands though.
5 minute stop I don't like either, like you say seems more like two races then.
