Awesome! What sort of times do the races run here in the UK? I work every Sunday, so I can always swap one or two around but I can't do it every week!

Oooh cuts it tight for me, that's usually my finish time! I'd be fighting fit by 6. How much pre race stuff goes on that I could afford to miss?

it depends on the event, usually about 20-30 mins including any qualifying sessions. We then have 2-3 hrs of racing. Often some of the less serious events like the Skoda's will consist of several short races so you can just jump in anytime you like. There's also practice events on Saturdays at the same time which tend to run along a similar format. Even if you can't make Sundays then these sessions are just as fun. Also practice on Wed's but that's 8PM Eastern which is 1am UK time. There are a couple of idiots dedicated fans who usually try to make it though

Edit Reason: Typo: It should be Skoda NOT Soda lol. Thanks Steve!

Everyone okay with driving the Skodas for a British based track series?
I know there was a BTCC mod but don't think it is close to the beloved Skodas.

I know there was a BTCC mod but don't think it is close to the beloved Skodas. Yup, the BTCC mod is OK(ish) but not nearly as good as SodaSkoda's. Might be nice to have custom skins though and maybe use the full mod with 2006, 2007 and 2008 cars? All the tracks listed above have some pretty good versions for rFactor.

I'll just have to swap around as much as I can and rush home in the evenings!
Haha! 1AM is actually great for me, I'm a real insomniac, and I don't work Thursdays, maybe I'll see some of you guys there :P
I love the Skodas, as cool as Sierra RS Cosworths from 1988 would be, I'm very happy to race them.
How would tracks be distributed? Is it down to us to download them all or could they be bundled like the actual car mod is? I ask because there's a couple of different Brands Hatch on rFactor Central ETC, it'd be hard to all get the same tracks.
