different classes)

actually, i believer there are 2 LMPs in the URDs. audi and
porsche.
however, we would still have the numbers problem for multiclass.

They have 4 LMP 1 cars, but only the 1 LMP2.
LMP 1 is kind of dumb since they are Hybrids and RF2 doesnt
simulate that.
I haven't found a good LMP2 car yet. The Enduracers look good,
but have the worst ffb I have felt in Rf2. It feels awful.

Why not just run it with the S397 GT3 cars?

Imo there definitely needs to be multiclass in endurance racing.
Or did Rick mean that we could replace lmp2 with gt3?

You could combine mods. At racedepartment I've done races with a
gt mod and a separate lmp (Rebellion in that case) together.
Worked out quite well.
Tom's suggestion of 1 hour race with full day night cycle would
be great as a try out of racing at dusk and dqwn. Night is quite
ok but visibility at dusk and dawn is poor.

Yes, at CMS league the URD mod (Rebellion) and URD GTE were
mixed.
Works pretty good, as the LMP1 speed is way higher, so the
traffic was fine.
You could easily get passed the GTE car on the brake and also
while accelerating.
With LMP2 and GT(E or 3 doesnt make that much of a difference)
the speed difference is lower, so more chances of nasty moments
because you have to take more risks to get by without losing too
much time.
I really like the day night cycle in rF2, dawn looks nice.

yes. why should multiclass be a pre-requisite for endurance
racing?

I have done this once, I think it was back when I ran my own
server many years ago :D
1 hour is maybe too fast to experience the full 24h cycle, but
I'm not against it either.

I'd also be interested in doing some endurance racing. I've
never done online driver swaps or any of that so it'd be fun to
finally try it out. As far as format I'm ok with whatever you
guys come up with. Since we're doing a VRC GT3 "sprint" series I
think it would be cool to do a GT3 "endurance" event. Sort of
like what the Blancpain series does.
