Well, I commented on it. Having tried the 1967 mod I have to say it would also be an ideal choice for fun races or even an F1 season.

Personally I would rather use this mod: http://www.virtualr.net/endurance-series-10-released/

There was racing Saturday? duh I'd been on the server from 12:20 EDT until just shortly before 1, and no one had shown / popped in / checked on TeamSpeak except Ahmad, and I never heard him.

Spent the rest of the day bashing drywall, repairing windows and other renovation crud, then managed to stay awake through the Sprint Cup race (no easy feat, all that relentless left turning... smile )

The ALMS mod looks like the stuff I can sink my teeth into, carry on!

I'm kind of in Ahmad's camp in that I'd like to use the endurance series. Not that there's anything wrong with ALMS but the enduracer mod is pretty slick. The P1's and P2's are really something but I find myself wheeeling the GT1 Aston Martin more often than not. Could be a way to even the field as well and stick Ahmad in a GT1 or 2 whilst everyone else can use a P1 or 2 if they so desire.

I can't actually physically control the GT2 cars in the enduracers mod even with TC on. Just my 2 pence.

Every Saturday at 1 PM eastern time. Because everyone is so tight on free time, most players are blocking that time, and don't appear much before the "official" start time. We had (I think) 10 drivers at one point?

I am a huge fan of the ILMS mod and would support its use in any form at SimHQ. You know me - I'm nuts and like the 2-hour races with 1x fuel. But two 30-minute races with pit stops (and time compression?) sounds like a lot of fun as well.

I'd do a series for endurance cars in a heartbeat, but the survey numbers said it was one of the least liked formats. So 2-30 minute races with time compression will hopefully entice people. There will also be 5 and 10 lap races. The Orchard Lake time-compression races last week were big fun even with a mere 10 laps.

I am not really in a position to comment on which mod we should use, I will try to give each of them a spin soon though.

The shorter format races work much better for me, for instance, tonight for the fun race, I will be joining at the start and have time for qualifying and a race or two, then have to disappear for a bit to put the kids to bed and hopefully get in another race or two after that.

Also, regarding the course tonight, I am really struggling with this one. I am having problems turning consistent laps and quite often I am spinning out exiting certain turns. There is also some pretty bumpy sections, specifically the chicane at T8-10, pretty crazy. I have made some improvements though, but I can't drive it anywhere near as consistently as Orchard Park.

Anyway, I am wanting to learn by keeping all of the driving aids off, but I am wondering if this is a good way to go or not? Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Cheers!
