Multi-Class Endurance Championship Season Four

Lol I'm on GTA still, just usually pretty late at night (9pm-12am CST range) because of my work schedule (I don't get off work until 7pm CST everyday). But I'm available on weekends to do MCEC, if I get picked. Are you also signing up for GT2 this time? Hoping to have a good fight this season all the way through the pack, since I probably shouldn't have been in GT3 for season 3, looking back. 

"The mark of a great driver isn't that they're fast, its that they can adapt to the situation and still prevail. If you end up not being able to do that with a locked setup, you may need to reevaluate how well you think you're doing."

I recently changed up my driving style and am competiting for podiums in events now. Setup was not a huge part of it, but it helps. I can twist this, if you can't find and adapt a custom setup to fit your driving, then maybe you need to reevaluate your ability to critically think about your driving and how your style fits into different cars.

One of the big reasons cited here as well is lack of time to prepare setups. Ok, sure, PersonA has 3 hours to practice, PersonB has 6 hours, and PersonC has 0 hours. If we don't subtract setup removal time from that practice, PersonB still has more time to practice and perfect the single setup, and PersonC is screwed either way and shouldn't have signed up, or just has to suck it up. PersonA didnt really gain anything, PersonB still has more practice time. Even while testing setups you are still learning the basics of the track and car, the fine tuning of setups can happen during that time. Its not mutually exclusive.

As far as setups go, the only restriction that I'd like to see is offroad tyres being banned. Simple and selfish reason: I just can't stand them on anything that isn't a proper offroad vehicle.

I'd personally restrict it to tuners tyres only. A driver should be free to choose which tyres he wants to use within this category. (Finetuning/Driving style/etc... like mentioned above)

Apart from that I'd prefer no further restrictions.

You can't really compare those two or?
Like, where do you draw the line between a big crash and small crash? How would you define a big crash? How many cars involved? How severely damaged has the car to be? Etc.

Setups is way more simple. Just enable them and everyone can do what they want, not just in terms of performance but also visuals. Why would you force someone/some people to put a bumper on their car which looks absolutely disgusting to them?


Also, a leveled playing field is a pretty lose well ''definition'' (couldn't think of a better word sorry) in my opinion.
What do you consider as leveled/equal?

Everyone having to use the exact same mods? (Which is a pain in the ass to check and the locked setup might suit some a lot better than others)
Or everyone having the freedom to do whatever they want with their cars? (You could say some can test more setups than others for that choice...but often/usually you'll find a good setup while practicing for the race in general)

Halfway decently structured essay finished....I feel like I am in school again lol

Haha

MKEK Hype! Since I have no life I should be able to make all the rounds .

Going to sign up although i doubt I can make it on saturdays unless it's not really late like 10pm utc. (which would be better for our americans probably btw ) Hosts fault for not posting at what time the races will happen but i'll take a warning if i can't make it.
About the setup discussion: I don't really feel like spending hours to find the right setups either but i understand that some people want to do that. I think a good compromise would be specifying a certain tyre that needs to be used or just limit it to one tyreclass.
