Endurance races tracks suggestion

[Eric. K]

Given the recent success of the long race @ Spa and what it is looks already as a popular Paul Ricard event, I am starting to plan a June enduro event. Once again I would like it to be something around 3+ hours. Let's hear your guys format suggestions (cars/tracks/other rules). Remember because of Evo limitation we have to pick tracks that are around ~2mins/lap.
Right now my short tracks list:

• Sepang
• Nurburgring Endurance Layout 2008
• Nürburgring Nordschleife 2008
• Istanbul
• Dubai
• LeMans 77
• RoadOne
• Rouen Les Essarts
• Zhuhai
• Barcelona
• Monza
• Interlagos

Cars are the usual GTs.

Enna Pergusa would be cool, I love that track back from the GTR days

 

[Michael Herrmann]

Rouen
Mosport
WatkinsGlen
Road America
Dijon

that are all pretty nice tracks that would provide a awsome enduro race

 

[Lee Downham]

Remember the laptimes need to be up at around the 2 minute mark ... Mosport is too short I fear, and surely 3 hours of throwing yourself off those "cliffs" would end in very few finishers

 

[Michael Herrmann]

wy it has to be around 2 mins, you could even run a gt pro enduro at brands indy
on longer tracks you drive after a time mostly alone
on a shorter track you have to stay awake cuz of the cars constantly lapping you
and its a real big ball track

 

[Matt Crouch]

because evo has a lap limit of 100 and a time limit of 120 mins, you need a long lap or the race won't be long enough
(not sure about the figures but that's the gist of it)

3 hour race would be 1:48 a lap
3.5 hour race 2:06 a lap

 

[Michael Herrmann]

if its limited to 100 laps then for sure Dijon will be to short and Mosport too maybe a mod can do the trick like the 30 slot mod

mosport is a 1.07 lap and dijon is is not realy longer maybe 1.25

 

[Rhys Gardiner]

Isn't Laguna Seca of the tracks in the ALMS?
Why not use that one.

Problem is Theo, the current version of Laguna out for this game is an illegal CodeMasters conversion. Using it at RD would be out of the question. Besides, the track doesn't look all that flash graphics-wise... :tongue:

 

[Michael Herrmann]

that will probaly fixed with race on, if simbin puts in the new race pro tracks

 

[Bob Miley]

If tracks are slightly to short, why not use a slightly slower car like GT Sport or GT Club, that way you could use more tracks.

 

[Aritan Maia]

How about Interlagos?????

 

[Ryan Callan]

If you want a long track how about Machwerk?!

 

[Jon Marjanen]

Elkhart Lake would definitely be sweet in my opinion.

 

[Adrian Lazarescu]

What about Singapore 2008 or Valencia Street Circuit?

 

[Damian Henderson]

It's best to have a nice wide open track or where overtaking can be done without to much risk as there will be allot of it ( I.E don't use a street track! )

Daytona,
Silverstone,
Sebring,
Le Mans,
Nuerburg,
Fuji,
Spa,
Road America,
WatkinsGlen,
Dijon.

 

[James Johnson]

Sebring is Great for Mixed Grid Enduro races.

 

[Ryan Callan]

Hmmm, the GTR Evo version isn't great though......

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Remember the laptimes need to be up at around the 2 minute mark ...

100 laps of nordschleife will do then! thats cool running 15 hours without the sunset even kicks in..

That can only happen in the miracle world of Evolution :rotfl:

 

[Michael Herrmann]

lol Bram 100 laps at the hell no way my ass could stand that nor my wrists

 

[Eric. K]

Ok guys.. I have a list. I will let you to choose... check the first post and the poll. Also, you can pick more than one track

 

[Abdul Al-Amry]

Hi Gents, I am very excited these events are getting attention and drivers interested.

Tracks

- Suzuka (130R flat out with worn tyres anyone?) - Looking at laptimes online seems to be in the ball park of 2:30s. Ferrari F40 clocked a 2:25s.

- Fuji Speedway
