I’d come to be of the same mind with you here. Which is not something I typically do! I love reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to speak my mind!

I have visited a few other forums related to this subject in the past couple of days in doing a research report for my boss. I have to say that what you're saying here makes perfect sense and is helping me to get my head around this subject. Do you have any other places you could recommend to help my research?

Any updates on the 12 hour of Sebring event? Is this going to be a 12 hour race, or compressed to 10% distance, just like the Rolex 24 hour became a 2.4 hour race.

@Kyle, from your house using http://www.iracing.com software and a wheel and pedal set.

I’m confused….

so will we be able to run the World Tour from our house, or do we have to travel to the track that the world tour is at????

@Bob, Driver switches will likely happen in the pits, but they haven’t demoed the exact process, but should be pretty simple. And it won’t matter where you are in the world.

By: Bob

Bob — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 01:56:44 +0000

How will the driver switches occur? I assume that team members can be located anywhere in the world and not necessarily in our homes???

Man if those Ausie v8 cars drive anything like in toca they will be a huge hit. They are a blast to drive and the racing is real tight. The only thing I disliked about the toca version was the use of the E-brake.

Hopefully they will get most of the series tracks someday also as they are great race tracks.

What about the Canadian F1 Grand-Prix in Montreal? Too far from Boston?

This is what I have been waiting for. Racing on the track that the real guys are running on that particilar weekend. Maybe the 12 week schedules in the future could run in conjunction with the real guys as well..That would be really nice…

What an great idea. I would love to run the 24hrs. of Daytona but I will be gone then.
Is the Indy 500 going to be full length?

By: Dan Ensch

Dan Ensch — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 14:52:40 +0000

Man, I would love to run a full 500 at Indy. Unfortunately, I will be at the real thing (as always), so I guess I will never get to do the virtual 500. Maybe in the future you could run the virtual versions in the middle of the week instead of (or in addition to) race weekend?

Love the idea of mirrorin the real world races ,and it would be nice if iracing setup seperate practice servers for these events so that we can go in and practice with other cars on the track.

“unless of course a contemporary Formula One car shows up in our inventory before then.”

Nice, Steve… Tease us, why don’t you… LOL.

Looking forward to the series!!!

Nice set of events, but the V8 Supercar event should be the Bathurst 1000. Its the bigger race.

Really looking foward to the ALMS and Grand-Am mixed class events!
Keep it up iRacing!

This looks great!

I hope another IRL race can be squeezed into to the schedule somewhere, the Indy 500 wil be awesome.

By: Dave M

Dave M — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 06:47:42 +0000

FANTASTIC!!!!!

Can’t wait, everyone one of those events sounds magic!!!

Hope the Silverstone GP is the historic layout, cause that’s awesome for the 79′s.

V8′s, Indy, Daytona, GT’s, WOOHOO!!!!!!!

modern f1.. hello!!!!

awesome.

I would love to attend these events just as soon as iracing sends me 10 bucks for signing up a friend.

This sounds awsome, F1 hey, well with the US team entering this year there is no guessing on what car they will be using for F1 if it does come.. V8′s @ PI for a 500km event sound OHHH so good but Bathurst in October would really be a killer

@Stephen Conway,

ok first question is will anyone in any class be able to race these events?

Sounds like it, = so we’re providing all of our members, regardless of their iRacing license level.

like im a rookie so would i be able to run the daytona 500?second we would have to buy the track/cars in order to race these events correct?

Yes, you’d definitely need to own the car and track. Cars are currently $12 and the tracks are $12 to $15.

and third would it cost manything to sign up for this or as long as we are a paid member of iracing we can run???please reply asap

Probably not. It would probably be part of the existing membership.

I suppose we’ll get more details very soon in time for The Rolex 24 Hour Event.

Forgot to mention. Hope they add some prizes to make these races more special. Also, I wonder if grids will be based upon qualy times and not iRating. Qualy times would allow new guest aliens to get put in the correct grids. Otherwise signing up for iRacing to race these events would lump all the new guys together regardless of ability, because they wouldn’t have time to increase their iRating.

I’d like to see the grids based upon qualifying times.

“unless of course a contemporary Formula One car shows up in our inventory before then.”

Sounds promising. Looks like talks to acquire a contemporary F1 car may have begun. No promises, but that’s very interesting.

This sounds terrific. iRacing has so many plans, that many of us don’t realize. Remember the NASCAR Hall of Fame doesn’t even open until May 11th and thousands of vistors will try iRacing there every week. It just keeps getting better!

I know iRacing is planning for driver changes, so hopefully we’ll have that in place by the time some of the longer races happen. I don’t expect 24 hour races to be 24 hours even with driver changes, but certainly something longer than 1 hour. Maybe 4 to 6 hours. I’ve done 3 hour races by myself so a team of 2 to 4 drivers could handle something longer.

Sebring 12 hours.. so we’ll have the ability to make driver changes by then?

“unless of course a contemporary Formula One car shows up in our inventory before then.”

Hahaha way to tease the audience guys, nice one. Really looking forward to the ALMS and V8 Supercar events, should be awesome. Any indication of the race lengths? Surely they need to be longer than the standard 30-40 laps?

I like it! It will cost me my kidneys, but i must race in V8′s!

I’m not sure I quite understand what makes this any different from the rest of the entire service. We just did Bristol with the Impala last week so what is going to distinguish these events from the rest? Hopefully there’s at least one iteration that everyone tries to qualify for and broadcast it so there’s at least one iteration that is “special” by definition.

Now will there be a chance for free trials during these weekends? I live up in Western New York near Watkins Glen and will be attending the 6-hour event there. I’d love to see some sweet deals on it, as well as a free trial so i could potentially sign up.

Great move by iRacing, should be really exciting! Please put a $20 gift certificate for the winner of every split and we’re golden.

…. I hope it’s a typo, but iRacing does know that the Bailey’s 300 (or whatever they’re calling it in 2010) is run at Martinsville Speedway, NOT Sobo, correct? Sobo has a big year-end event, but it’s NOWHERE near the prestige of Martinsville (or even Myrtle Beach).
