Multi-class racing is not mandatory, but I and others have
wanted to move toward multi-class racing once we had enough
drivers on grid consistently. I don't think we are there yet.
Perhaps we do a one-off race after the gt3 series to try it out.
Kind of like the one-off endurance race.

In the WEC in real life only 30 cars are on the grid. We have
over 20 cars right now, so I think we have enough right now.
In the CMS league there were only 12-15 on the grid, this was
also almost enough for a good competion on most tracks.
I am really looking forward to a test race after the GT3 season!
Racing into the dark with fast LMPs and slower GTs, perfect 8)

Over 20 cars in sprint races doesn't unfortunately equal to over
20 teams in endurance racing. I don't have much interest in
endurance racing where I would be the only driver of my team. I
could do 1,5-2h race by myself but I would much rather have for
example 3 hours race with two teammates.
That said, we definitely should try some endurance racing in
some form.

So far 12 of us has shown interest. There is probably more even
among the membership.
Time might create some difficulties for me. Lets say we start
around our usual time. Race would start 18 GMT (league time), so
when 3 hours race would be over it would be already 21 GMT so 11
PM for me (during summer time it would be already midnight). I
would avoid driving on that/those final hour(s) as I can't
concentrate on such late hour anymore :P I'm probably not able
to spend the whole 3 hours on the server either. I'm sure many
have somewhat similar situation when it comes to endurance
racing.

If we could get at least 30 drivers, we could have 15 teams and
have a 4 hour race, changing driver every hour . We could do a
24 cycle...that would be very cool. I could ask some of the
guys I know from other leagues. I am sure a few of them will go
for a one time event like that. I guess we will need start
being more specific, Mod, Classes, racetrack and date, etc.

That sounds nice. We could call it an invitational. VRC 4 hours
of Lemans Invitational (Or something like that).
But I would like to hold this event after our current series has
been completed. That would allow time for planning and
advertising.
