Longer races like 60-90 minutes have been mentioned before, but all bounced back because after 45-50 minutes of racing people start to lose concentration and start to make mistakes.
Now at a track like Le Mans that wouldn't be a problem, because most of the time you would be racing the track and won't see a opponent, at a track like Limerock that should be different and more hazardous because you could run someone off the track.

My first thought was on Tuesdays.... if its suitable for the most part of people. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . Mauro, It's a perfect night you picked, as it does not effect any other heat leagues race schedules. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Yea right, and at what time would that be? As you know we have members in different timezone's. Races that would start 8pm EST would mean that the race would be at 2am euro time. No way I'm racing that late on a night and have to go to work the next day. Chris

Chris Thanks for the kind post Chris! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Did you ever think we are trying to reach other people to expand Speedsims. So we can also have these guys join us on Saturdays!?!?!? We are also keeping our traditional races on Saturdays.. Most of the time during week, your busy as hell with biljards?

Chris Hey Chris, Sadly, it's impossible to get one time that fits Europe and and Americas (North and South) during week days. Or it gets on Americans work time .... or europeans bed time. ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png) That's why Nascar (or American style mods) will be raced on week days and Touring (or European style) mods will remain on traditional Saturdays on the usual time. This way we try to get more people from both places even is it's not 100% suitable for everyone. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) .

I think I need to tell you guys out loud what I've been doing.. For the last month or so, have been busy finishing up the SCP mod, it's just about done. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) I've also taken up the responsibility of finishing up Karl's SCGTS mod with the GT 1 cars and the physics. So we will be having two new mods coming out at about the same time early next year for us to race on Saturdays.. ;D Almost all of my spare time has gone into doing all this stuff so we can have an awesome 2012.

I tried to set up a special event and make that race 90 minutes long, all I got then was negative responses. I'm not trying to talk you out of it, just want to share my experiences Chris

The reason I ask is... with Daytona Road Course coming out before long, and the 24 Hours of Daytona coming up next year... some folks might want to try and run a special event such as that with the actual cars that run that event (Grand Am). ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

As I can recall I planned it about 1.5-2 years ago on Le Mans. Mod probably the WGTC or Group C

OK... I see.
Le Mans is probably the reason. The plan here for Daytona RC is a much easier track to learn for even the casual road racers. Le Mans is just a very difficult track regardless of the mod used.... much like Nürburgring Nordschleife would be difficult for any casual racers to learn how to do even 5 laps without wrecking on it. ;D
