Do you want to race the ultimate V8 Supercar Endurance race? You will get your chance later this year. iRacing just announced the Road Warrior series and this year it includes the Bathurst 1000. That's right, 161 laps at Mount Panorama in the V8 Supercar. I don't think I will be able to get through that one with zero incidents, but I will try. Probably should start practicing now even though the race isn't until October 17th. I estimate the race will be over 6 hours with warmup and pit stops. Here are the details of the race: Event Name: Bathurst 1000 Date: Oct 17 # of Race Times: 1 race at 1300 GMT (8:00 AM EST) Cars: Holden, Ford Falcon V8 Supercars Track: Mt Panorama Race Distance: 161 laps The official thread on the iRacing forums can be found here: members.iracing.com/jforum/posts/list/3293695.page

ya i agree. We can form a team and run it Road Warrior section of the forums? I don't know for sure, but iRacing doesn't list it as a team event right now. George, yes, the thread is pinned at the top of the Road Warrior section of the iRacing forums. There is a PDF file at the end of the first post which has details of each race. The 24 hour and 12 events are listed as team events. The Bathurst 1000 doesn't say that it is a team event. If that changes in the future, I would definitely like to team up with someone here to run it.

Sorry, I meant to say "should we have a road warrior section of the forums?" so that we can coordinate teams.
Daytona 24 is only three weeks away.

We should compile a list of those who are interested in running as one team for the 1000.
