North American Endurance Championship

Planning on running an endurance championship from March-November 2014 with one event each month. They will be the first Saturday of each month. Four events will be three hours (Laguna Seca, Road America, Road Atlanta, and Sebring) and five events will be two hours (Indianapolis, Infineon, Maple Valley, Sedona, and Sunset). You must have three drivers for the three hour races and two drivers for the two hour races or else your entry will not be accepted. If a driver from your team is not around for their stint, you can take over that driver's stint or hire a reserve driver if you wish to do so. Each stint will be one hour long (set to one hour and 15 minutes to take down distances). Each stint will be a standing start and ordered by qualifying results. Distance calculation will be the same as how TORA does it. The cars will be P2 and GT2 cars.

Al be droppin ur new one some time in next couple of week brother!!!

Would anyone be willing to do some testing for me? I would love to have all of the cars evened out for each track, but that doesn't seem very possible.

sure, when do you want to?

Whenever you get the chance. I bought all of the cars except for the Honda Lola. I'll share all of the other cars into the club garage.

i have the honda
cars i have in my garage

Do you think you could possibly gift me a Honda?   

count me in

Bandit just use ISCC Season 4 cars list for P2. Then use Season 5 for GT2 then go from there.

i was gonna suggest them, both were really close for each class

I was hoping to see if I can test the cars to be as close to stock as possible and trying to avoid the use of handicaps.

It's hard to believe the RS Spyder needs all the help it can get to be competitive lol

Something tells me the RS Spyder is going to need extra tire width to be able to keep up with the ARX-01b and B09/86. The Honda and Chevy are a completely different story.

After four laps in the Jaguar, it was already very obvious that the Viper was completely off pace.

It truly defies belief how T10 can take such a brilliant car and ruin it.   

This sounds like a good base for a series, would love to run the Spyder as well so hopefully you can get it balanced

I'm going to try to work the P2 builds around the ISCC S4 LMP2 build rules and adjust it if necessary.

ill have a bash again at this event

Looks like a real fun series...especially in my Vette. Although, the Saturdays and being a 2-3 hour race is going to be conflicting with my schedule. Would sign up as a Privateer if that's an option and run a race or two (definitely not going to be racing Maple Valley).

Hope to see this series come alive!
