I have been thinking how much fun we all have at the enduro events and was curious if we all would be interested in an enduro series for next year. I figure that we run between 4-6 enduro races throughout the year with the same selected teams and cars for each race to keep a points structure for the season, and if some drivers are not able to make a race you can still race the event as long as 1 driver shows up. With that there would be no minimum or maximum drive time but would like to keep it as fair as possible for those that would like to drive their share. We could run Group C, modern or classic GT, LMP, or others. As far as race times we could either do all 4 hour events or mix it up and run a 2 hour, 4 hour, 6 hour possibly a 12 or 24 hour race for the final of the championship as well. What do you all think?

Wow- that is an ambitious proposal! It seems that we've run one enduro a year because there's only enough interest (and stamina) for such an event. In order to have 4-6 enduros, it seems we'd have to blend them into the 2023 sprint schedule and not sure how the group would feel about that. Also, speaking for myself, a four-hour enduro is about my limit, I don't want to think about a six to 24 hour race! Just my $0.02 and kudos for bringing this up at a good time for discussion before we start thinking about the 2023 schedule!

Kudos to Ian for the suggestion, I wouldn't be interested in a Enduro series. To much for me. Chris

We have run an Enduro at Colpar where we ran 15 minutes on each lane. We had 15 people for the event. We were using Slot.it Group C cars. It required a few tire cleanings for each lane that you ran on. That is when Tim came up with the idea of the "mobile tire cleaner". You would clean you own tires whenever you thought you may need it. Most of the guys used the gauge of when I could keep with them, it was time to clean their tires and quickly pull away from me again!!!

I did think the recent enduro was a lot of fun and I would be interested running others. I also agree with David, they need to be around the normal schedule. But the thought of a 2hr, 4hr and 6hr run would be interesting. I think the Slot.it Group C cars were up to the task, and enough diversity made it interesting racing.
We should be able to make it work every 4 months.
Count me in.
