    It's a great track indeed, although I hope that if this track is being chosen that it'll be without chicane. (= more flow)
    Imo the 24h, GP and International layouts are very suitable for Endurance racing.

    Of course we will drive it without that chicane. It will be the 24 hour layout.

    I only have one comment on track lists:

    I have no interest in running Nordschleife. I once said it was just too many corners for a guy my age to keep track of. And that was 10 years ago. I've run it a few times, and never enjoyed it.

    But having said that, that's just me, and i won't bitch about taking that week off if you decide to run there.

    I also don't enjoy it as a race track. It's more for hotlapping IMO. You're mostly driving along for 2,4 hours. Cars are too spread out and if you're behind someone, you can't pass.

    Poll: do you want low ABS or no ABS?

    I have been called out that I had put Low ABS in the Endurance events.
    It is true that the GTE's and LMP's do not have ABS, but since most of us are not professional drivers, I fear that a lot of us will destroy our tires within a few laps with multiple flat spots in every event. It's quite hard not to lock up your tires in heavy braking zones without ABS. That is why I've put up this poll. I would like to know what the majority of us think about this.

    Do you want full realism without ABS, or do you want Low ABS for the Endurance League series?

    Imo at least Le Mans and Sebring, but actually I don't mind for all of them since it's endurance racing on said 2.4 hours.
    Of course it depends on the track and the heavy load for some people's pc.

    In truth, S397 Sebring and Le Mans are demanding on the processor for a night race. People with an average PC would have to turn some specs down.

    i hadn't noticed that myself. i was too disturbed by the fact that my base setup, which had felt wonderful and stable for the last year and a half, needing only wing and bar adjustments for any given track, a setup with which i did a full tank run just a day before, doing consistent 46's at Daytona, and then did a few 45's that same session after making, tire pressure, brake bias and TC adjustments, was suddenly unstable in T1.

    To bad Nords was not in the series, maybe next time :)

    The track list refers also to the 2017 version, assume 397 2018 is the one to use:
