Yeah, Donington (single 'n') is expected for next season. I also saw that they're working on the NGTC BMW and Honda from the BTCC series, which i think would be fantastic.
It'd be pretty much the same as the GT3 series, just a little slower is how i'd imagine it, although FWD & RWD might make it interesting.
Also... fanfair please... I just won my 2nd race!!
GT3 @ Brands Indy.
Took me 2 races to get my first, and about 42 to get my second
Been an absolute nightmare week though. This was my 6th attempt, the first was fine, silly mistake early on cost me 6 places but got back to 3rd, 2nd divebombs and takes out the leader and i finish 2nd to the wrecker.
Race 2 ran into a spun car at the exit of T3, nowhere to go.
Race 3, moved to the inside of T2 on the first lap, guy decided he wanted that space, and i had the option of grass or pretending he's not there. Got a wheel on the grass, took others out and he gets away incident free.
Race 4... race 4! In 3rd, following the 2 in front for about 10 laps, they're close and battling. 2nd makes a dumb dive down the inside straight into the path of the leader, leader ends up off into the gravel, he manages to hold on. I manage to get inside on the run up, he goes around the outside of T2, i hold a tight line, he guns it out of the corner wheel on the grass and T-bones me, takes out 3rd behind us, and the original leader goes through.
Race 5. Im leading, holding the inside line along the straight, 2nd right behind me, i move to the middle of the track for the corner, he dives down the inside, slams me into the wall. Race over again.
Theres a familiar pattern in 3 of those races. 2nd Divebombing the leader, taking him out, and carring on unharmed while the others take the punishment. All 1 person, Zachary Hanlin.
After that 5th race, and hurling a few select, but justified words his way, i leave and about 5min later theres a PM. Dont recognise the name but the PM is titled 'did you sleep with his mum?'
Its another Aussie, who'd spectated a few races, and by pure chance, happened to have seen both of those last 2 races and commented on the fact that he's an absolute idiot, and he's seen him do similar stuff already.
When i looked, he'd attempted the race 5 times. In FOUR of them, he'd taken out the leader, and he'd won 3 of those.
He was there for this race too, and i basically warned everyone that if he can keep up with you, he'll make an idiotic move, so GL surviving it.
I spent the first 10 or so laps basically parking my car on the inside line for T1 & T2 whenever he was within 0.5sec, because otherwise he doesnt get the message. He see's a gap, doesnt care about the consequences and uses you to stay on track while you get sent in another direction.
He screwed up after 10 laps, and after that it was just a case of holding on.
As an added bonus, i also had Matt Orr & Shaun Cole in there
I have to admit, purely clicking on a 'recommended video' which had nothing to do with what i'd been looking at, took me to one of his/Empty Box videos, and i watched about 6-9mo of them in about a week, and he's the reason i decided to try iRacing properly.
Unfortunately, his race consisted of 3x 'car contact', and 5x 'off track' so the likelihood of getting my 15min of fame look slim to none
