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!!

Even though still early, Longshot Racing is excited at the possibility of participating in this newly formed league. It is likely we will be looking for drivers to field cars for this anticipated league.
Excitement is building...

Probably we won't see the endurance features implemented in the game before Q4 of this year. To get a balanced schedule with the other LMS league we run it could be that our first season of RDiLMS only consists of four tracks instead of the five that we originally planned.

No worries though as right after S1 we can kickstart S2

I 'm so looking forward to endurance racing with a GT car!

Be it a 90 or 120min race without driver swap or longer with it. I hope iRacing creates an (A)LMS premier series and/or that I can drive such a type of series here.
I hope that somehow magic happens and they release the Ford GT next week, aaaah the anticipation

120 minutes? We don't do sprintraces in the RDiLMS

1000KM, 6, 8, 12 or 24 hours is more like it. It will be awesome.

The team of Longshot Racing is interested in participating in this league. Longshot Racing formed with the start of the ATCC Season 1 and staffed 2 drivers. Since then we have grown to 6 drivers participating in numerous leagues spanning many platforms both here in RD and beyond. Longshot Racing's model goal is to represent with drivers who drive cleanly, fairly and with respect. Woohoo!
