I voted no, on the presumption you mean this league to replace the 60 lap GPs. I really like the fact that they're single events. And as far as I know, the only ones that are so long.
But if you mean a seperate league, or as on option on the GPs (still allowing casual racers to join) then I don't see a problem .
I say yes for "Anyone can join when they want, but everyone gets points for racing."
That way there is a group of drivers that attend every race and point-race against each other and also there are some nice fellows racing a single event with those others. That keeps the friendly spirit and allows for point-aquiring.
Opinions?
Oh, and about cars: I'm completely open. I drive everything between UF1 and FZR, though I'd like the ATC to stick with the "less dangerous" cars, so the races are better.
I don't know what happened to the Endurance league in top of his forum. I thought they were starting another season very soon.
You mean these 60- lappers would be a replacement for that league?
thats what i am thinking. maby using the older cars such as the XF GTI (the one u can get in the demo) or something simular. its just as a thought at the moment.. and its not as a replacement.. it would be as an alternative league (simular concept as the gp's but with points) or add points ect to the 60 lappers and make a season out of it.. BUT still allow any1 to join.
I say run a league. It gives people the option to compare over several races. I guess very few people would compete in all the races, and the winner will probably be the one who does the most but it still adds another fun element to the proceedings.
I think the best way would be to group the races. Take the XFG, take it to three races, switch to XRT, have another three races with the XRT, change to UFR, have again three races with it.
That'd make most people happy, while making (about) no one unhappy. Also it will be more encouraging to train with the car because you can use the experience in three races and not just one.
Opinions?
I reckon keeping the 60 lap format but running as a championship (10/12 races fortnightly or something), leave the entry open to all, but at the end of the season, make the drivers to drop their 2 worst scoring events (quite common IRL) It allows peeps to miss an event or two and can keep the championship open right up until the last event. In other words only count 8 out of 10 events in the points. It sounds crazy at first but really works.
Although don't think it would be a good idea to use the Big GTRs, they're too fiesty and the difference between fast and slow is too much. my vote would be for the XF GTi/GTR or maybe the turbo class, to keep the racing close and even.
I Love the 60 lappers, they transcend the huge gap between sprint races and full endurance, and i think it would be cool to have a championship along the same sort of format, maybe a few 60 lap races + 100 lap finale or something.
but it's gotta be kept open to all competitors, to keep the casual entries up, it's nice to have some of the racers that can't attend all of the races.
I came to rethink my opinion about the league:
We should have an application list prior to the starting date of the league. If we find that there are well over 15 drivers who want to race in the league the race should be closed and be run parallel to the ATC 60 lappers. If we have fewer racers we should merge it with the 60 lappers so the grid is always full.

Currently the AWD/4WD cars are the least competitive. Actually in endurance it's even worse for the TBO class, because there the FXO is also the best suited for long races (AFAIK) while in the GTR class the FZR seems to switch with the XRR.
