Next Sunday (well, most Sunday's lately actually), at about 3 PM in the UK, 10 Eastern, bloody early here out West, myself and a couple of other guys from my usual Sunday drinking club with a racing problem, will be attempting to race but mostly making a mockery of motorsport on PC2. We usually run shorter races using more or less stock cars in FM7 (and will, that's usually a couple of hours later), and have recently been doing basically the same thing in PCars. We all like our big long races too, but this is just us having a good time. We all really (and genuinely) care more about having some good close battles than anything else.
So, we'll be driving the 1991 BMW E30 M3 Group A, we'll be using the default setups because brainpower is a little nonexistant Sunday mornings and we'll be starting at the Red Bull Ring. We usually run a short Q session and usually a race between 5-8 laps or so, and usually whoever gets third picks the next track, and so it goes for a couple of hours.
Anyway, after running an ungodly amount of laps at TMS, this should be a good way for the survivors to unwind, you're all invited.

I'll definitely try to get on for this ad I fancy testing this game out online. Not sure that time will fit for me though as it's right in the middle of the afternoon here Ava's usually when we'r are having dinner but also the F1 GP will be in progress.

That sounds cool, a little bit like what we are doing with the PCars 2 Grid Choice series where tenney track is chosen by where a person finishes.
I'm CST, but that's very very early for a weekend for me.lol It's a really good idea, though. Something like that could work well with PC3

Yeah, I'm Mountain and the de facto leader of our little group is actually in Pacific, so yeah, pretty early. It's basically the same thing we do with Forza and 11 Central. We all used to race Saturday Night, then I had a series Sunday mornings for a while, we discovered that it actually wasn't a bad time for some laid back hooning on video games, not too late for our UK/Spain (expat) friends, and early enough that we could kind of get on with our day.
Long weekend has (as usual) kind of shot club racing all to hell, next weekend I think it's some Ginetta GT5 or something and I think Imola is track number one, followed a couple hours later by Forza with the Formula Ford Ecoboost starting at Indy GP.

I really was fancying some of that next week as I love Imola and have not driven the Ginetta so was looking forward to some of that but i'm now over at one of my daughters for Sunday dinner so definitely not going to be able to make the 3pn start time. The Forza race is an outside chance depending on what time we make our way home. Always tough to make day time racing for me unfortunately.

I'm the last one who's ever going to get on someone about afternoon racing! It really is tough. You're carrying on with your day doing what needs to be done as you would, whoops, missed the start, now it's dinner time, it's just the way it goes. Residences (Texas 1), cars, recalcitrant motorbikes (Texas 2), yards, pets (Indy 500, little f***er cost two emergency vet visits, a nights sleep and about $700 too)- these things don't take care of (or pay for) themselves, and most of us have families that we'd like to see from time to time,
Anyway, yes, long weekend as usual made a mess of everything so next weekend we'll run the Ginetta G40 GT5 from 3 to about 5 (10-12 Eastern) and then the Formula Fords, sketchy little things as they are, at about 5-7 UK time (or 12-2 EDT), also a tough time for I would expect, unfortunately.
However, most of our races are pretty short, anyone here is more than welcome to join for one race or several, we seriously do not care and are very used to people coming in for one or two races whenever, it's fine. We don't keep score, that's what league and series racing is for.
