Single make series are always a good - the BMW M2's are driveable, and with some time spent so are the Porsche Cup cars on know tracks make it an easier learning curve especially for thou's of us who have limited time to practice.
How about a classic endurance mini series 4 on classic tracks such Silverstone, Monza, Spa and climaxing at Le Mans - old 60/70s style cars 4 x Ferrari v 4 x Porsche v 4 x GT40s
Any single seater is a given - or how about trying a 2020 F1 series - top 10 tracks voted for on here 1 x 25 lap race, 1 x hot lap quali, compulsory 1 x pitstop
I'll look for links etc when I get a chance tomorrow ...

Something a little left field... AMS2, Caterham Superlight, mainly foreign tracks. As long as we have a couple of guys who know how to set up the server (Scoops, Andy, Mickey etc) I could manually record results on the night, then produce a small chart with race results and points etc. We could keep points to a minimum and forget points for fastest lap, qualy etc keeping it simple (for a simple guy ). So to that end, here’s a list of tracks that we can use in any order and start when everyone is up for it . Adelaide Street Ciruit. Cascais. Curvelo long. Goiania. Ibarra. Guapore. Cao Grande. 15min Qualification. 3 x 15min races. Race 1, pole taken from Qualy results. Race 2 and 3 reverse grids from previous races. Points 1st - 10 2nd - 8 3rd - 6 4th - 5 5th - 4 6th - 3 7th - 2 8th - 1 DNF - 0 Hopefully everyone has AMS2? And also a benefit for those using VR

Tried to check out some cars and tracks for possible new Season, but the new UI is a nightmare to navigate. Couldn't get to all cars and tracks, kept giving me all the old Sig events and only the Radical. Obviously there's an easy way, just I can't find it at the moment . Also, is there a way to view all the cars and tracks you have in content?

When the game starts you should have the last options you drove. So probably SR3 XX @ Spa
You should have the track and the car but won’t have any options to Chang’s. Above this there is SiG_SR 3XX@Spa or similar as the race event. You need to replace this first so click on it and you will have all the mods you ever had. Loads of SiG events etc
Scroll through these to find all cars and tracks and click on it. You also need to click on select bottom left.
Then back at the single player screen you can now choose different cars and tracks.
This is from memory as not near PC so may not be perfect

So, based on last night, I propose a season with the SR3-XX, around GP tracks.
Suggested tracks, in no particular order:
Barcelona Silverstone Paul Ricard Albert park - if there is a circuit. Estoril Imola Interlagos Montreal Austin (circuit of the Americas), Zaandvort Hungaroring Suzuka Yas Marina Red Bull Ring

And one to try - Bridgehampton.

Raced Bridgehampton a couple of weeks back with GOM and really enjoyed it, although it’s a pretty bumpy track.
I’ll happily vote for the Radicals and think they’ll make for a great series, certainly everyone seemed to enjoy them last night👍 Tracks, I‘m undecided. I really enjoy learning new circuits and your bottom list looks great, but I also think the car would be best suited to the GP track smoother surface. Kev, I assume both your lists are for possible future selections? Just that it seems like quite a few on each list, if so how many picks would we be allowed?

Minimum 8 weeks. The thing is that we are likely to use the GP tracks with something a bit faster later in the year. A bit of a bumpy circuit will make it more interesting.

Agree, will certainly spice things up😁. Should I check rF2 and see if there are 8 street circuits, as in similar to the Adelaide one? That could be different

My 2p worth of thoughts
I would definitely add Portland International Raceway as it’s up to date S397 content (and free)
Dijon and Portimao I think these would be great at
Misano and Suzuka there were complaints re difficult to pass last time I remember racing there but happy to try them again might be different in these
Toban hasn’t been updated in years so not sure what that’s like any more?
Bathurst I think would be better in a one off V8 race
Laguna Seca will always get my vote. Eastern Creek not tried but would be good if its ok

I am happy for a mix. Bridgehampton is bumpy, but I think we should include it. It is a fast, flowing track.
Eastern Creek is a track we used to race the Caterhams on. Happy to drop Misano and Suzuka.
AFter a few minutes of racing, I forget the graphics quality, as I am racing, so I think Toban, and maybe Mills Metro as well, would be good. I am also happy to run about 12 weeks in these cars, as I think they are good. They are quite forgiving, and easy to drive.
