    I'll be there, will come down and watch most likely. Is the Raceroom cafe now running R3E instead of the Race07 it was on last year?

    150 / 4 Team members = 38 € with a chance to win 500€ + more prizes.

    There is also a chance that Tickets for the actual 24h Race will be included.
    Not to forget Catering etc.

    We hope to provide more details about that very soon.


    @Rodger Davies Yes, they are currently updating the Simulators with new hardware and to run the RaceRoom Event Software, which was already used in the Simracing Expo last year.

    Awesome @DubZ
    See you there!

    Remember guys, every team uses a unique livery.
    So the sooner you sign up, the higher the chances to race in your favorite car.

    The RaceRoom Event Software does not allow to change the Setup.
    Everything else, such as FFB Settings etc will be set to default as well.

    IBAN No is not correct. Just wanted to transfer the money now... also external IBAN No checker does say, that the number is wrong.

    Those endurance races should be a Sector 3 tradition

    for me FIA WEC is the best possible race series, forget about F1 it is boring, Endurance is way way more better :)
