Upcoming iRacing special events

[Nejtun]

Hey all, Summer is (kinda) over and I can put my VR on again without dying from the heat!
There are a few special events which I would like to take part in for the rest of the year.

The Suzuka 1000 is on the weekend of 11th-13th of September, I am good for this don't mind which car*. (GT3 only)

If anyone wants to do the Britcar 24HR (it is at silverstone) on 18th -20th of September then I will grab the track for that (GT3 and GT4 ((I only have the aston GT4)

I have to miss Petit Le Mans (25th-27th Spetember) I have surgery the day before so I would be a bit shit

I am totally up for the Bathurst 1000 (October 2nd- 4th) I got the Mustang.

Indy 8 Hour 16th-18th October , this is GT3 only I don't mind the car*

Finally the 992 Endurance Cup on November 27th -29th , The calender doesn't seem to say which track. is it a surprise?
Anyway , I am up for this too.

*I do not own the full roster of current GT3 cars, so my selection might be a little more limited than it was last year!

I am definitely interested in some of these. For the events you mentioned:

• Suzuka 1000: not too excited for it and Valheim 1.0 and Wardogs are releasing that week, but it's in week 13 so I can join the team depending on time slot.
• Britcar 24H: I don't like Silverstone enough for 24 hours there
• Petit Le Mans: I will be doing Touristenfahrten at the Ring that weekend
• Bathurts 1000: Going to try to solo it again this year.
• Indy 8 Hour: I dislike the track, so I'll be skipping this.
• PCup 12 hours at Spa: Wheelies at Raidillon? Sign me up.

I would be interested in Petit LeMans and the PCup at SPA, but sounds like most are out for Petit LeMans.
