So as long as we hit 1:4, I think it would OK. Just so long as it doesn't just turn into another de facto GT3 season.

You clearly have to quit that job, for work/life balance.

You wouldn't be able to switch classes - it messes standings up too much.

Another thought... in the real WEC, the different classes have separate qualifying sessions, to get clearer track. While that sounds like a good idea, in the interests of time we'd probably have a combined qualifying.And I chose GT3 cars instead of GTE (GT2's etc) because they're a little bit slower and we get more lapping by the LMP1 class that way.

Just because you might be able to go well in a GT3, for example, doesn't mean that you could have got the same points in an LMP1 and vice versa.

For those of us who don't race/practice a lot, having one car for a season we improve with the setup and driving the car.. swapping can often feel foreign (for me) and takes a few races to get into the groove of a new car.I think LMP1/GT3 would be good. The only newish gt3 would be the Audi LMS 2016.. there's no other gt3 class that came out in the last update? « Last Edit: September 25, 2017, 12:33:02 AM by Shameless_1 » Logged --- A quitter never races and a Racer never quits. --- Wally Administrator Hero Member Posts: 11035 Karma: 152 AC Admin Re: Season 19 thoughts « Reply #28 on: September 25, 2017, 08:16:21 AM » Quote from: Shameless_1 on September 25, 2017, 12:27:49 AMI'd like to see us stick to 1 car throughout the season rather than swap.

I have a short list of closely performing GT3 cars in mind already.
