Simracing.org.uk League Thread

Gentlemen, I present the new GT3 sprint series based on the real life Blancpain Sprint series I aim to use the same points system and track selection, albeit in a slightly different order. I will also use as many real life Blancpain car skins as I can find to add authenticity, though you are also free to use your own. I will upload all skins provided or found into a single zip file on my dropbox for all to use.
The first round will be at the Nurburgring GP (Short) circuit as per the real life event in July 8) I will run a test race next weds (maybe 2x20mins?) so people can hop in an alternate GT car and see which they prefer in a race. I would also prefer it if everyone chose a car and stuck with it for the series. Races will be 30mins long on weds eves. Feel free to Pm me with your name and chosen car and I can put together an entry list. (though not essential)

The initial race calendar is as follows:-
Test race (29th June) - Mugello GP
Round 1 - Nurburgring GP (Short) - 6th July
Round 2 - Misano (Test needed first)
Round 3 - Brands Hatch
Round 4 - Monza (E)
Round 5 - Silverstone
Round 6 - Paul Ricard(E)
Round 7 - Spa (E)
Round 8 - Budapest
Round 9 - Nurburgring (E)
Round 10 - Barcelona
Some of these rounds are normally endurance events in the Blancpain marked with an (E). I would love to run some 1hr races for them but will be dependant on turnout and if people are willing to commit to the odd 1hr race :-\ if not I will just run them all as half hour sprints.

I think I may have to include this popular Blancpain car. Who doesn't want to see one of these beasts in their mirrors?!



just tested it with a full GT3 field at Donington and Monza and it appears to fit in nicely. The interior view is a bit crude but externally and audibly its fantastic. I fielded 4 of them amongst a 30 car GT3 grid and they were spread out nicely in the laptimes.

I'd be tempted with this, though I've never really taken part in organised racing before. I'm not very quick, but I try to keep it clean.

I tried to register over at simracing.org.uk but got a few errors, but when I get that sorted I'll make a post over there. Also car of choice is the AMG GT3

Hi mj911 is the nurburgring short gp the gt version , i take it paul ricard is the blancpain layout? and what is barcelona the moto or gp version thanks.

 

Just about to check the Nurburgring Sprint version which I am assuming is the same as Blancpains 'Short' track. Paul Ricard will be Blancpain and Barcelona is full GP.

The real race takes place this weekend in the Blancpain Sprint series, so watch it for pointers! Simracing echoes real life

The test race had 4 different cars in the top 4 finishers in a grid of 15 gt3 cars, so expect close fierce racing.

 

Any drivers watching/sitting on the fence/waiting in the wings, please provide your car choice, driver name and guid either here or over on the srouk series or race thread in the links provided earlier as I need to create the entry list for the Round 1 race this Wednesday.
If you watched the real race this weekend you will know it should make for a great gt3 sim race

 

Looking forward to it, the test race was already awesome
