So we are making a new league again? Who will open the thread? Also, I would love to make the race review replays. 
I was thinking maybe a fixed setup MX5 as the car, but if you guys want a GT car I am not complaining.
Also, maybe implementing some of the free tracks/cars may be good so this is more accessible to all. May help with numbers?

This sounds like a great idea, whether it's for fun or a league. I am also new to iRacing and having spent money to get a system to run it, I'd rather not spend much more on extra content for the events too early on, so using the base content might help to keep numbers up.

I may have spoken out of turn Erik. I answered from my phone and forgot this would be a hosted event. I thought I had read something about hosted sessions allowing non-paid cars on track but I just went and looked it up on the iRacing site and it seems it was just forum chatter. You guys are right, you must own all cars to get into a hosted session after all. Sorry about the confusion I may have caused... no more iPhone replies.

Not sure if this has been brought up, but after looking at the iracing forums, I've found people have teams. Do we have a GTP iRacing team?

But ya I like the idea except maybe a Daytona 50.0 is better fitting rather than a 500
Edit: well nevermind... 500 miles at 2 miles every 50 seconds, that wouldn't be more than a few hrs

Kind of off topic, but for those looking for some pointers on oval racing should watch this tutorial
But yeah im down with the Spa race, we should aim to do that some time soon.

You would be surprised at how fast time will pass during a race that long even if it seems boring. Granted 500 miles is a bit long but 250 wouldn't be bad.
If I was going to put on oval races that allow some passing without being bottle necked I'd pick Michigan as it allows some different lines but one mistake doesn't take out tons.

For that we ned to wait for iRacing to update the ballast system for the 12C so we can balance it out with the Caddy! And hopefully they will update the hosted system so we don't have to own all cars used in the server!
Erik Andre is getting a team together!
Lol! My bad!
Let's make it happen then! I'll host it if you guys want!

Roush_fan_99I was wondering why Michigan was such a popular track...
I'd love to join races with you guys but these next few weeks are going to be 🤬 for me, but an occasional weekend race may be fine for me.

I wondered the same thing til I ran a long race there and it isn't terrible hard to drive but to be fast every lap without overdriving takes a little skill. It's a great track though for longer races without having to worry about someone driving too aggressive.

I guess I'll toss a list of events out:
(In no order)
-Daytona 500
-Indy 500
-Petit Le Mans
-Bathurst 1000 (Shortened)
-A few F1 Races
-Nationwide at Montreal
-Grand Am at Montreal
-Pirelli World Challenge race or two (Since we will have Caddy and Kia)
I also think we should come up with some of our own events, like a HPD, Riley, McLaren combo race at Interlagos or something... Lets get some ideas so we can make a schedule and get the ball rolling!

^I was thinking Mustang, Mx5 and legend at lime rock since all 3 are in the high 57 to low 1 min range and keep it open to the public just for car count because 3 classes is tough to fill in closed door events. That to me would be real interesting with enough people
Edit:
And another odd ball, (I'd still have to do a lot of testing) but the Late Model and Cadillac may be a close match. Old school Geometry versus modern day technology.
......... I think you know very well what 2 cars I'd pick

Like the idea,
I'm just starting as a rookie , but still not so confident about joining the races.
Tried one out today, started as last on the grid , with a best 3th position and ending 5th. Never been more nervous .
So I would like some races with fellow GTP members.
