We are back! Another favourite has returned to rF2 club racing, here at RaceDepartment.com. The World Endurance Club takes on a slightly different look this year, with the emphasis being more on experimentation with a variety of cars and tracks, some of which may not be typically seen in or used for endurance events but shall bring a "spice" to the racing! For the first event of 2015 we take you to the Nürburgring, where we'll have access to the full 24-hour layout of the infamous circuit! Courtesy of RD member @Frederic Schornstein, who has spent the past few weeks modifying the stock ISI GT cars in an attempt to equalise their performance, we now have a set of vehicles that we expect to be competitive against one another. This is still very much a learning and testing process, so any feedback regarding these cars would be helpful in allowing the BOP updates to be improved further. And for fun we've thrown the Apex Modding SLS AMG GT3 & Honda Civic into the mix! Be sure to join us for the 2 hour thrill ride around one of the world's most mystical race tracks - it's sure to be a hell of a race!

Driver/Team notes:
- Driver swapping is allowed
- Each car can have 1-2 drivers (Driver Swap Tutorial)
- All cars must have their headlights on at all times (additional flashing is encouraged when overtaking / lapping)
- Blue flag: signals a faster car is behind you. Caution is required, but moving over is not.
- The faster car is expected to look for a sensible passing opportunity. They are responsible for initiating a safe pass, but the slower car is equally as responsible for allowing an overtake to occur safely. Stay on the racing line, leaving plenty of room for the overtaking car, and do not make sudden / unexpected movements.
- When lapping: straights are preferred over corners; corner exits are preferred over corner entries.
- Slower cars are expected to keep to their racing line and cooperate with safe passes. Moving out of the way is not advised, as it leads to unpredictable situations.
- Faster cars may flash their headlights to indicate that they are about to make a pass.
- Patience is key!
- Remember to test pit-stops and driver swaps (Driver Swap Tutorial)
- Ensure that all drivers in the team have driven some laps in traffic, and different track conditions
- Whilst not racing or preparing for a driver swap, drivers are not permitted to be on the server; timing software will be provided so that team members are able to monitor the race
- Presence on TS is not mandatory, but is recommended in case communication with drivers or teams is required
- Standing start
- At the beginning of the race, once you select "Race" your car will immediately spawn directly on the grid in your qualifying position
- Your tyres and brakes will be cold - BE CAREFUL
- Do not take risks, or attempt to make over-ambitious overtakes - it's a 2 hour race, don't ruin it for yourself or others
- Ensure that you practise standing starts before the race - please only do this in the pit lane, away from other cars (be aware what's around you)
- Name all drivers for your car
- You can always add or remove drivers to your car later on
- Your final line-up should be clear 24 hours ahead of the event
