Hehe, nice track.

Hehe, nice track.

very pretty but there is no way i`m going to even attempt to race on this one.. way too difficult for me....

[Truetom]

C'mon, it's a nice cool track. Get into time-trial mode and drive. Soon enough you'll be beating best time with each new lap.

Have been staring at the track on the google link and the circuits website and dont think i've ever seen this track before

[Truetom]

We used it in one race some time ago. It's a roller coaster.

Hello,

When does your SGT500 series start and finish?

Season 14 is scheduled to start on Sunday 13th March.

A deadline has been set to enter skins:
https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=8969.0

We will be using SuperGT 500 cars and GT2s. I will only organise 4 GT2 races for now until we see how popular GTR Evo is, leaving the option to switch to Evo for the last 4 races if it is popular.

Currently Planned Race Events:
SuperGT
  Barcelona
  spa
  suzuka
  laguna seca
  silverstone
  Nurbergring
  Portrero
  Road America

GT2
  Mugello
  Algarve
  Brands
  valencia street

The order of the races has not been decided yet and one or two of the tracks may change. I will give a final list some time in the next week or two.

All races will be 1 hour with 2x fuel. We will use normal tyre use for GT2s and 2x tyres use for SuperGTs. Any tracks that we have done several times before will be either night races OR changeable weather races.

In the next three weeks leading up to the start of the season we will have two weeks to do the skins and two more fun races on the Sundays. We will then have one week to check and test skins and a test race for the skin pack will take place on Sunday 6th March. The Sunday after (13th March) will be the first race of season 14.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

The season will start on the 13th March but, we will be doing GT2 cars one Sunday and SuperGT the next. We will do the GT2 race first (13th March) so the first SuperGT race will be on the 20th March.

I would have got things going sooner but, we need some time to allow people to do skins and this is my fist time organising a Championship so I have been taking longer than the other organisers would have.

I am looking forward to the new season and I hope to see many familiar and new drivers.

[H@L9000]

There will be a race to test the skins on Sunday 16th March. This will be using the SuperGT mod.

EDIT: 6th March.

[SRW]

thanks for the info, i am looking forward to racing in it. 

by the way i think you have got your date for the test race wrong, the 16th March is a wednesday

[H@L9000]

Yes, sorry. The test race for the skins will be Sunday 6th March.

i think this is another one for us n00bs to sit out... the track is one that will take several hours for me to get to grips with. I dont have that time.
I appreciate that the circuit could be a blast once mastered, and it certainly has heaps of character, but i feel that for online racing its another poor choice.....  I guess i`ll go prepare myself for GPL GT`s on friday instead.....

[Legzy]

but i feel that for online racing its another poor choice..... 

Why Blito?

[spanner]

So your'll put the time in to practise for GPL for fridays race but not this one
