Well I thought I would toss this out there and see if there is any interest.
Sports Cars, and up to 6 hours available between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. EST Monday through Friday. If you know any one that would be interested spread the word...
Cheers.
Dok

I'm spread a little thin on my racing time at the moment with the various series I'm currently running.. are you talking about regular league racing or occassional fun races?

I would eventually like to try to generate enough interest to put a league together. That being said, since I'm new to this aspect of it I would like to start out hosting a casual get together -maybe once a month- so that I can see how my machine would do providing the role of server. Then move on to bigger and better things. I'm still learning how to drive with all authentic settings. WOW... Cheers, Dok

We have 4 more Indy races to run so maybe we can put together a sports car championship together after that’s done and dusted. Although as there are so many GT3 leagues I tend to run in other series, but Rich and I have an idea which might suit and be a change and a challenging championship at the same time.

That sounds great. I will keep practicing and look forward to your ideas. Thanks and Cheers, Dok

Cheers, Dok You could still look at hosting something ad-hoc in the meantime if you want, if it's in the week (not Wednesday of course lol) it won't effect Indy or any subsequent series. You can just post some details of car, track, format (ie, quali, race, basic rules, etc.) and see if enough show an interest to run it. I would happily race something like that if it fit's in time-wise. It will be a good test of your hosting capability.

I've ordered a new router so when it gets here I can look at hosting from a better place. I will post the details when I get them nailed down. Cheers, Dok

I would be interested in checking out your ideas, or anyone else's ideas. I would like to run VGTA, or Stock Car (MSC) Fusion, or FC, or VPTA (the DLC required) lemans Vintage track is an interesting run.

VTGA = 66' Mustang, or 73' Carrara RSR 2.8 MSC = Stock Car NASCAR Ford Fusion FC = Formula C VPTA = Vintage Prototype A Ferrari 512M/S etc..
Or, anything other than GT3/GTE

I'm curious Shneeb, Why not GT3/GTE? Over saturation? Cheers, Dok edit... Pause rewind replay... warm memory chip... Vital Signs--RUSH

There are quite a number of avenues where one can get into a GT3 or GTE situation, so IMHO that we probably don't need another one. Maybe people don't get so much into the other classes because they're not sure what to do with some of them, as they can be a bit more than just hop in and drive them.
That being said, I would still get involved with anything you guys want to do because I need all the seat time I can get in any car.

I was looking into some of the other classes. There are plenty of classes that embody sport car racing that are not GT3/GTE. I am big fan of sports car racing of almost any kind. And if it means I have to work a little harder to learn how to drive it then so-be-it. (I think that other game spoiled me). LOL

Since I already have this thread going I thought I would expand on it. (Admin if you feel like this would be better suited elsewhere...) I'm finding that I'm usually on during the daytime 0900 to 1400 EST. This has become my only free time and we all know "you take it when you can, and when the Wife lets ya." I've been testing my connections and would like to check the interest on an informal racing club that I would be happy to host. We do not have any organized racing during weekdays(early). If there is enough interest I would enjoy taking this on. In the interest of making this a learning experience we could even make changes every month or so. Cars and tracks could be rotated on a monthly basis. I've been doing a lot of practicing (slowly transitioning away from "simcade" racing) lately and I've been thinking. I have had some issues trying to get the hang of things by my self. I did not want to crash out and take other players with me on a regular basis either. I now feel like others are safe making a pass not having to worry about me making the "rookie" mistake. I would even be up for any kind of organized TT events as well. Thanks for reading. Cheers, Dok

That's too early in the day for me I'm afraid. My racing is generally done after about 8pm UK time. But if you set something up and I'm available I'll always be interested. There's others here from your side of the pond that this might suit more favourably though.

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately week days just aren't very popular. Cheers, Dok

Cheers, Dok I’m pretty flexible at times and have no flexibility at other times. I’d be up for something in EST or PST zone
