Upcoming Developments - RDiLMS!

I normally link straight to the forums, but glad I didn't today. For those who do, there were a couple of interesting gems hidden in the club racing announcement:

"....and the addition of RD's first endurance series outside the walls of rFactor, the RDiLMS. The RDiLMS will bring the same superb mixed class endurance racing ethos of the RDLMS to iRacing 2.0 which boast driver swapping and night racing amongst its features!"

"Following the recent success of the iRacing club's Indy car events and the large amount of people interested in doing more with it, we also have plans brewing for a mixed road and oval league using the car and the fantastic tracks that iRacing offers. Look out for more news on this as the plans progress."

Looking forward to both of those!!

Got my answers, they will do tests to evaluate the performance compared to the other cars, more specifically the Ford GT to see how much of a difference it is.

so if it passes the test and iracing releases the car in time and iracing opens up a fourth spot we could very well see the GT3 in the endurance league.

I personally would rather run GT1-GT2-GT3 because of the extreme speeds of the HPD. It´s actually faster then todays cars from Peugeot and Audi LMP1´s.

if we don´t fill up with teams.

Dont worry about that: it will be full house for sure

I only worry about iracing it self. Why dont they communicate about the status of their promised endurance features we are all waiting for

Kevin Endermann · Dec 28, 2011

I want to go endurance racing with my team and this league looks good for it.

Fast forward to 7:50. Sounds like driver swaps could be coming soon??

Edit: Still watching the video but wanted to post that since we haven't heard news on this for a LONG time

When iRacing finally confirms the endurance features we will release the full league format and the official signups. This thread has become too old to maintain now

We are way passed Q4 of 2011 now and i am still waiting on the promised endurance features and starting to get pissed off with the iracing marketing nonsense.

Simon Roberts · Jan 4, 2012

To be honest i didnt realise it was an old thread Bram, i thought it had been made since the last episode of iracing tv.

David Garcia · Jan 4, 2012

Greta news indeed!

Bram Hengeveld · Jan 4, 2012

"Theoretically you can do a 24 hour race". I dont want to race theoretically but for real.

Marko Buhin · Feb 8, 2012

nothing till Q2 2012 it seems....

Hampus Andersson · Feb 8, 2012

I´m guessing 2042 Q4.

Bram Hengeveld · Feb 19, 2012

I hope the next Q, really getting endurance withdrawal symptoms

they said that or is that a wish? Sounds awesome if they did.

Bram Hengeveld · Feb 21, 2012

Interesting, any source?

No problems. I will have to make a new one soon when the signups for the first season start.

Jason Pitts · Feb 26, 2012

I sure wish iRacing would make good on their promises, or just keep their mouths shut about a release date.

Bram Hengeveld · Mar 12, 2012

I have merged the matchmaking and interested teams threads into this general discussion thread. Will post official sign ups, rules and regulations soon.

here goes a year of my subscription i bought for this series. all on an official announcement that Q4 of 2011 would introduce a driver swap feature. so thanks to iRacing - i havent used it much in last 6 months. few times only, rly. i wouldnt complain if it would be like 30$ per year... but its 100$ per year...
