2017 Global Endurance Championship (PC & FM)

Tue 20 Dec 2016, 14:45

In 2014, it took Wagon/Dave/Blonde, Carter/Macace and Insayne/Woody/Nightmare 36 hours to earn the right the be called champions. In 2016, it took SECR (Copper/Marko) and SamKel (Samson/Maverick) 48 hours to earn that same right. We won't know until December who will add their names to the list of GSREC champions; but we do know it will take them a record 54 hours complete with all of the countless euphoric highs and crushing lows that come with multi-class P1 & GT racing on 6 of the world's greatest endurance race circuits.

Grab a friend or two (or drive solo if you have no friends) and get behind the wheel of one of today's finest LMP 1 or GT3 cars for the ultimate test of endurance.

This championship will again take place on both FM and PC, with 3 races taking place on FM (Daytona, Nurbugring and Road Atlanta) and 3 taking place on PC (Silverstone, Le Mans and Spa). This year, Silverstone will replace Sebring and Spa has been extended from a 6 hour to a 12 hour event.

February 11th - 12 Hours of Daytona (FM)
April 22nd - 6 Hours of Silverstone (PC)
June 10th - 12 Hours of Le Mans (PC)
August 12th - 6 Hours of Nurburgring (FM)
October 14th - 12 Hours of Spa (PC)
December 16th - 6 Hours of Road Atlanta (FM)

RESERVE DRIVER SITUATION

Okay...

It looks like we are at 17 cars for tomorrow. 7 of which are solo entries, which gives us 10 multi driver teams and 7 reserve slots available.

In stint 1, the said 3 reserve slots in each class go to the top 3 finishing teams in the 2016 championship. If 1 of those 3 choose not to have a reserve, P4 in 2016 may use a reserve, and so on.

Stints 2-6: first right of refusal will go to top 3 in each class based on current running order.

In short...if you're running in the top 3 in your class, you're guaranteed a reserve slot if you with to use it.


Opinion time...

with not all teams wanting to and/or being able to have a reserve due to pesky outdoor life; and the natural attrition that occurs in races like these...I would say MOST team who wish to use a reserve driver should be able to do so. It's impossible to say 100% though. So I guess we will just see.
