While your ping is usually high Nova, it's also normally very stable. Problems arise from unstable pings. I've had terrible races with people with relatively low pings because their ping fluctuated a lot.
Just my opinion: Don't run a multiclass endurance race yet. Make sure your race directors are capable and confident at running a single class race first without any big problems. You have a good base to work from after yesterday but adding this complication in when you have other things you need to perfect first is a risk in my opinion. After one or two more single class races that go without any organisational problems, and with a few more teams building up the necessary experience to compete, I would be tempted to vote for a multiclass race. Right now, stick to what you know and perfect that first before you complicate things. I vote for option 4.
I recently upgraded to the GT Omega PRO cockpit. I run a rift but you can probably see why I want to get on the Ultra-wide bandwagon (images attached).
This thread came at a good time. I'm also considering getting a 49" monitor because I would like the option to use a monitor setup from time to time, rather than having to use VR, even for casual racing sessions. I do not get on well with traditional multi-monotor setups, so I'm interested in trying an extra-wide. It's a big expense so I'm interested to get opinions from people who have used them. Rony, nacim, how do you get on with yours?
I don't mind it myself, but I know some other team-based sim racing series that will allow single-driver entries, but they just aren't classified. Team events should be just that, a team effort, not a solo effort.
