Just wondering if anyone knows of any leagues moving to iracing or
forming within iracing? With the hosted private sessions it should now
be possible (just have to score the results outside iracing). The
league I'm in doesn't seem to want to switch to iracing so just
wondering if there are others out their that will be switching or
starting up. Will there be a list on iracing.com so those looking for a
league could find one?

The mainstay of iRacing will be the oficial series, so I would expect
the leagues to make themselves known on the Members forums, under Hosted
Racing.

Hosted racing will commence in November, so most will be trying it out
before committing to heavy schedules.

Ideally members should have official iracing series races running all
the time, leagues running closed sessions and one off open sessions on
car/track/race length combinations not in the official series.

I think iRacing will really come of age with this combination, but they
had to get members to understand the ratings, race splits and official
championships before doing so, building the content levels and
partnerships as they have done so.

Cheers
Tony

Thanks for the info Tony. Would hope that any leagues would recruit
outside the members forums. If iracing hope to draw a few more drivers
in with leagues, as mentioned in the press release, it would be good if
league info wasn't restricted to the members only forum. ;-)

Drop me an email if you want any info Ken, believe you are local to Halifax
too.
I'm in iRacing so can probably pass some info your way.

PS I use to run the CORL NR2003 league.

Hope you're right - they need a page on the main, public iRacing sight
for leagues, lots of screenshots and links to league pages so you can see
what cars are racing where. As a member i hate needing to look over lifeless
text headers to try and work out what a league is actually doing. Needs
colour and lots of big pics! :)

Thanks. BTW have they figured out Halifax isn't in New England yet? ;-)

They who? If you mean clubs then yes, there is an Eastern Canada club now.

I heard that iRacing may be signing a deal with American LeMans Series.
They have the C6.R coming soon, so that could be a clue.

Anyone else heard this?

No, but the C6R and Dallara are here and both are superb! :)

If they did sign the ALMS series, and dropped those horrible GrandAm
cars, it would be the straw that brings me to iRacing.
