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)

So, hopefully everyone has calmed down in this thread cause I was going to post my post race thoughts.

A 5th place finish in the GT category for the 2nd SECR team, beating the primary team. I'll honestly say that I'm proud that me and Mission managed to perform well in a car that was at a major disadvantage on a track like Daytona. To eclipse 2,000km as well is another thing I'm proud of since it shows how close we were to the other GT's in that race. Hopefully when we get to Silverstone, me and Mission will work out the kinks of the PCARS McLaren to take home a podium, and if the chips fall in the right place, possibly a win!

Congrats on the good job Mike and Misson. Silverstone will be a lot closer battle overall in both classes I think. Looking forward to it

Yeah great work guys! Well earned. I'm going to chalk up the conversation thus far to passion. One thing that's undeniable is we all have a passion for this. It's amazing to think about, this is round 1 of 6. It's a very long season, think last year where we started to where we ended. To put it into perspective, round 1 is longer in time than a lot of other series total seasons. Can't wait to see how the season unfolds.

I knew the Nurburgring combined was in the game but I had never been on it before until the other night I was playing online and it came up and my goodness it takes some concentration, he had it set to fog as well and some areas were lit and looked awesome, the more I play Pcars the more I love it

I am glad to have has the chance to race at Daytona. I was watching the kids that morning between stints, so I had my hands full. I spent the better half of two weeks learning to drive that Mercedes with no assists and cockpit view. I went from spinning out, to locking brakes every corner, to finally making laps. I brought my times down over five seconds into low 1:44s. I just kept my line and focus, letting y'all worry about passing me.

Now to get on PC and learn this game from zero experience, tune the car and make times. When y'all start practicing for this, add me for some laps. I need it. Also, could you give us 2O4F guys insight on how the qualifying/race schedules go for this?

A good idea for tunes is to check the projectcars database for different setups

Silverstone (and all GSREC races on PC) will pretty much run just the same as on Forza. The only real difference will be an absence of reserve drivers (PC is limited to 16 cars), time progression from stint to stint, real world weather, and everyone taking a screenshot at the 1 hour 45 minute mark of each stint (PC lobbies can only be set to 2 hours)

So in all seriousness, and if we do go through with figure-8 demolition derbies the day after an endurance race... what's the car so I can go right ahead and start painting/crashing it.

Buick Regal, the perfect car for any demolition derby.

If anyone is in need of a driver, GT or Prototype for the endurance series, let me know. I'd be happy to run with you and am willing to try out. My gamertag is the same as my username here. Hope to hear from someone soon.
