I think Fozz's idea of donating per series is a good one, I'm doing a similar thing.

Well I'm just doing a fiver for every series I enter full time. Don't know what other people are but basic maths tells me that people aren't and we don't anywhere near cover Picnic's costs Nobody his is gonna go hungry from a fiver. Fozz

I would donate in a flash (even though i've not raced this season, last season was great - and i'll be racing somepoint in the future) but for my bank balance reading -£4.15, and no money to put in it £5 per series sounds reasonable to me

Right, given the fun races and the GTL-S0 I thougt it was high time I donated ... so I did! Agree with Fozz's idea of the fiver a series though, it does only seem fair - I mean you look at the monthly subscription rates for the MMO's and all of a sudden you realise you're getting a bargain.

I have no problem paying £5 per series. If everyone does two series a year, that's potentially 40 drivers which is £200. Even that isn't very much but it would help right? I think it ought to be mandatory to pay - and if it's mandatory I would like to see more rules for joining, like hardware requirements and time trials. Cause surely you don't want some guy with a 1.6ghz AMD Ti4200 racing with a keyboard to join!! And then maybe the time trial can be you got to submit a hotlap that's within 107% of UKGTR qualifying record for any track. Also I would like to see more folk painting and then carpack's being made - obviously it's not certain GTR2 will support standalone cars but if that's possible then it will be simple enough to do. Would be great to have drivers using one car all season and perhaps cars are chosen in somekind of hierachical order i.e cars chosen in order of previous endurance final driver standings. This way you don't get same car being used and it's a alot more like FIA GT - and drivers have to do well to get a larger choice of cars. If it's like this then there is much more effort involved in participating which imo will make for a much more respected series - and so more appealing to the more enthusiastic teams/drivers out there. Well that's quite alot to consider, but in fact if it was like that I would pay £10 - £20 per season np. And I would moderate and make carpack's if you want.

I think you just need to start your own series Rich

Yea it's something I would like to do, but probably not until I retire and have plenty of time. But i'm only 27 and would like to see this series step up a gear.. !
Now of course you can do what you like when you are paying for it, there's no harm in me contemplating different things though.
