Hi all,
In order to hopefully make things easy for organising drivers and teams for the 2018 iRacing endurance events I am going to try to gather names and cars as early as possible.
If you could put your name -events- preferred car (in that order) then it allows us to have an idea of the pool of drivers and interest for the race well in advance.
***Do not worry about stint lengths or what hours you will be available at this stage as I am just gathering information***
Based on this year and current iRacing forum requests, here is the likely and possible events for 2018:
you can check the progress of this ----------->HERE<---------------
January:
Roar before the 24 2.4 Hours Daytona Road Course
Cars : Kia Optima Ford Mustang Global Mazda MX5
Daytona 24 Hour 24 hour Duration Daytona Road Night
Cars : (likely) Ferrari GT3 Audi R8 Mercedes AMG , Ford GTE 2017 Ferrari GTE , C7 DP

June:

July: 21st and 22nd :2 x Timeslots Sat: 01:00 GMT and 13:00 GMT
24 Hours of Spa Duration 24 Hours Spa Franorchamps Endurance pits Daytime
Cars: (likely) 5X GT3 cars (ford Excluded)
August: 18th and 19th 2 x timeslots Sat 07:00 GMT and 19:00 GMT
24-Hours of Le Mans Duration 24hour Circuit Lemans! Daytime

Petit Le Mans Duration 10 Hours Road Atlanta Daytime
Cars: (likely) Ferrari GT3 Audi R8 Mercedes AMG , Ford GTE 2017 Ferrari GTE Porsche 911 RSR, C7 DP
****With the addition of the 911 RSR this season the tally comes to 7 cars, one will probably be dropped unless iracing are extending the car count. I would guess a GT3 TBC****
Bathurst 1000 Duration 161 Laps Mount Panorama
Cars: Holden and Ford V8 Supercars (2014)
Bathurst 1000 removed from special event schedule
Two extra requested races are Suzuka 24 hour and Silverstone 24 hour which would most likely be daytime and same car list as Le Mans.
As mentioned this is just a provisional list to make administration of the events (hopefully) easier as the year unfolds rather than a mad dash to each event people realise they didn't leave themselves enough time
