Con il comunicato che potete leggere integralmente qui sotto, SRO Motorsports Group ed iRacing.com annunciano il lancio del nuovo campionato virtuale ufficiale basato sulla serie Blancpain, Sprint ed Endurance. Le gare, che avranno durata di 30 minuti o 3 ore, avranno per protagoniste le GT3 di iRacing, ovvero BMW Z4, Ford GT, McLaren MP4-12C, con la già annunciata Aston Martin in arrivo, oltre ad una nuova vettura ancora da svelare...

SRO Motorsports Group and iRacing.com today announced the creation of two online racing series for virtual sports cars that are based on the Blancpain Sprint Series and Blancpain Endurance Series. The two series will feature iRacing’s digital GT3 cars, including the BMW Z4, Ford GT and McLaren MP4-12C (with Aston Martin and another major manufacturer expected in the future) in races from thirty minutes to three hours in duration.

To celebrate this new partnership iRacing is offering a special 3-month membership for only $5 for new members – a more than 80% savings. New members can use promo code PR-SROMG at www.iracing.com when signing up.

“We’re proud to have the SRO Motorsports Group as the first European-based racing series promoter in a group of iRacing partners that includes NASCAR, IndyCar and V8 Supercars,” says Steve Myers, Executive Vice President and Executive Producer at iRacing.com. “This partnership began with our initial introduction at September’s iRacing.com Nurburgring 1000 and quickly developed into a conversation on how iRacing and SRO could work together.

“The fact that over 1500 iRacers participated in our recent endurance event attests to GT racing’s popularity on the iRacing service. We look forward to working with SRO in developing innovative methods of engaging fans of GT racing the world over.”

“The SRO Motorsports Group is happy to announce our new relationship with iRacing.com,” says Stéphane Ratel, Founder & CEO of the SRO Motorsports Group. “Together, our organizations will bring exciting new dimensions to the Blancpain Sprint Series and Blancpain Endurance Series by enabling race fans and sim racers all over the world to experience the challenge of world class GT3 racing.”

The two online series will be contested on laser-scanned versions of many of the tracks on the Blancpain Sprint and Blancpain Endurance Series schedules including Brands Hatch, Monza, Silverstone, Spa-Francorchamps, Zolder and, when iRacing’s version is completed this fall, the Nurburgring. The endurance races will utilize iRacing’s driver swap function that enables two or more iRacers to co-drive the same car from different locations anywhere in the world.

Credo che i premi per questo campionato siano molto interessanti  :dribble:

 

IMHO iRacing è l'unico simulatore che offre adrenalina ad ogni gara!

Nell'ultimo mese ho usato iRacing 95% 4,9% AC ( solo per il Ring :oops:  ) e 0,1% PJC!

With the second half of 2015 Season 3 upon us, it’s time for sim racers and sim racing teams to start turning their attention to the Season 4 Blancpain Endurance Series, the qualifying series for iRacing’s newest professional sim racing series: the Blancpain GT Series. Running from April to September, the 2016 Blancpain GT Series will award cash and other prizes to the top finishing teams and drivers as well as to the first place finishers in the manufacturer’s championship.

Only those drivers and teams with iRacing’s new World Championship Endurance Licenses will be eligible to compete in the 2016 Blancpain GT Series. And the top 40 teams in the Season #4 Blancpain Endurance Series will be awarded World Championship Endurance Licenses.

Ieri ho fatto la prima  gara del BES,il livello e' altissimo,io ho un irating sul 3400,il mio compagno di team 5500 eppure siamo entrati nel terzo split con sof 3500,ho visto sof sopra i 5000  :sad:

siamo partiti dietro (26) ma abbiamo recuperato fino alla quinta posizione,peccato che nell'ultimo giro siam dovuti rientrare perche' mancava 1 litro per concludere la gara ,un litro su tre ore di gara,questo ci e' costato due posizioni,alla fine settimi ma che goduria  :thumbsup:
