This calendar/schedule functionality is exactly as I and others had submitted in suggestions via feedback channel, so it is clearly evident that iRacing are following through on their promise of providing a premium service to their customer base. This makes the expensive fees worth every dollar - to know that we can influence the shape of the future of the sport and community. This level of ongoing development is truly world class. iRacing is going to be out of this world in 5 years time at this rate... Excellent work iRacing.

That's a step in the right direction. However, I'll still need to register each week. Why don't you just allow us to enter our schedule? I want to race the DP on Sunday at 19:30GMT/3:30PM EST/12:30 PST. I know a lot of other drivers that also want to race at that time all over the world. If we could just enter our schedule into the service and view the total # of drivers registered for that schedule then we could see if it matches with other drivers so that we would have a better idea of which schedules would be the best bet for an official race.

Hopefully will be running Class A and B races more than once week with this new concept. Really been a disapointment to register for races and just miss having it be official for most of the week. Looking forward to some great racing again. Great News !!!

This obviously will result in more of a chance of racing with drivers of your own capabilities. One benefit of smaller truck fields might be that there will be more splits.

Both of these series offer great racing but the schedule is so limited that racers are staying away. I'm farly new to Iracing, so maybe things have happened in the past to cause a reduction in schedule, but since i'm paying a monthly fee, i feel that the schedule for all series should be plentiful for all members. Maybe trying more times on weekends would be a good start, this would allow more international racers to join in. thanks i think this is a good idea for Iracing. i would also like to suggest more times for the less run series such as the Radical and the Silver Crown.
