As we promised, we want to start again in September. Therefore here you can now find the preliminary schedule for the upcoming season. All dates are preliminary and may change but it is roughly what we plan.

Sept. 23 (12h)
Oct. 28
Nov. 25
Jan. 13 (24h)
Feb. 10
March 10

All races will start at noon CET (summertime when applicable), except the 12h (10am) and the 24 (4pm).

We are looking for volunteers as marshalls who will support us on race weeks. If you are willing to contribute, pls send a mail to admins at mastersofendurance.eu.

Also, a few more notes on the new season:

1. Number of teams

We will accept 16 unique teams. We're not open to applications yet, so please do not apply yet. Currently we do thing we will have enough interest that we can safely say we will not allow two car team entries.


2. Support races

This is currently just an idea spinning around in our heads. If we do get enough marshalls and if there is enough interest (at least 10 additional entries, max 16), we will run support races on race weekends. These will be at the same track but will run a shorter distance (3h) and will run a mix of cars (GTR and FWD GTR). Teams can enter a second car in the support races. However, there will be no season-standings for the support races and the marshalling will be lesss strict during the race.

We see these races as a proving ground for young teams. If it is successful, we will in future require new teams for the real deal to have raced in at least 2 support races.

3. Coverage

If you are interested in covering the MoE, pls do get in touch with us via admins at mastersofendurance.eu. We will see what coverage possibilities we will get. English coverage is preferred.

Well, that's it for now. A new website will be readied in August.

Looking forward to this m8 and its really good news that there is going to be another season.

The support races sound like a good idea. I hope you can let that happen. You pointed out that they will have the GTR class and the FWD GTR class... does this mean you are having the FWD class in the normal races too? Would be interesting.

No, that is not planned yet, Tweak. In my big huge vision we would have 40 teams, prototypes and two classes of GT cars, changing weather and changing day/night. But currently, the main event will be run with GTR cars only simply due to the limited amount of cars that can run.

Plans on an announcement of the first round course?

Also, is there going to be tryouts for this season's entrants? I just have painful memories of incidents with drivers that are not up-to-par with some professional racing :zombie: :o

That's a great Idea...and would give us under-rated teams a chance to prove ourseleves and then participate.

Another Great idea, you just don't see Evening and Dusk being used alot in races, and the wind changes the pitstops so much.

I hope like Tweak asked...("Also, is there going to be tryouts for this season's entrants?")
