Endurance races tracks suggestion

Eric. K · Apr 24, 2009

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.

LeMans seems like a popular choice

Philip Grimm · Apr 25, 2009

Sebring all the way. Awesome track.

Stefan Werner · Apr 25, 2009

I like these suggestions.

- Nürburgring - to include the north loop
- Monza
- LeMans
- Suzuka

@Abdul, good luck with getting Fuji on the list...I would love to see and enduro at Fuji too!

And Road America!

BTW, does anyone know if Road Atlanta is available/legal for GTREvo?

I would like to know this as well. 45 minute drive from parents house.

Kyle Evers · Apr 25, 2009

Where's Sebring in the Poll? That would be my second choice behind Le Mans '77.

Ryan Callan · Apr 25, 2009

Oops didn't realise it was multi-choice. Could you add a vote to RoadOne and Le Mans 77 for me please Eric?

Eric where's Sebring?

Ryan Callan · Apr 25, 2009

How many times.....

The GTR Evo version is very poor......

It's not even that good a track. It has two good corners. And both of them are because of the crappy surface. I don't get the fuss about it.

as far as i know it isn't... but after a tip off from stu thomson (and running it in a recent gtl event) tis on my list of future conversions :wink:

Ryan Callan · Apr 25, 2009

Superb! Was my favourite track after Nordschleife on Forza

That's a shame. I love the track. It's a pretty simple track but it's much fun.

Yeah it's an awesome track.

Aritan Maia · Apr 27, 2009

Eric,
I know the thread is about track suggestions, but I'd like to ask you to think about something else related to the endurance races. How about only 2 classes, like GT Pro/GT Sport or GT Sport/GT Club?
With 3 classes on the track we have only 8 drivers/class, so it reduces the excitement a little, in my opinion.
What do you think?
Cheers.

Already thinking about that

Rhys Gardiner · Apr 27, 2009

I thought you could configure a track to run up to 30 cars. That would mean that there'd be 10 for each class, right?

Aritan Maia · Apr 27, 2009

I think the max is 25 cars in Evo, isn't it?

Stefan Werner · Apr 27, 2009

Yeah, Evo supports a max of 25 cars. There are mods to bring this number up slightly, but by what I have read these can cause other problems. So it's really a give an take.

Personally I like the idea of having all three classes on track at the same time, but you all are right, 8 drivers per class is rather slim. Especially when considering that the last enduro at Spa, saw only roughly 50% of the field finishing.
