The New Year

 Happy New Year to All.

Following our 3 week break, our next endurance race will be at Phillip Island on January 8th.  Watch our discord channel for updates on practice sessions.

Correction to the schedule

 The first race is not at Daytona, it is at Knockhill.  All the others on the old schedule look the same.

  

iRacing 2022 Season 1 - Race Schedule for VRS GT3 Endurance Series

Week 11 (2022-02-26) Mount Panorama Circuit 180 mins

Week 12 (2022-03-05) Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari - Grand Prix 180 mins

Our plans are to run all of these races during the normal Saturday time frame.  In addition we will run the Daytona 24 hours which I anticipate will be run on Jan 22 and 23rd.  This will conflict with the Sebring race in the schedule above.  I'm sure we can figure a way to run both races with some help from our friends.  Our experience at this race will help us to decide on which other 6, 12, or 24 hour races we enter.

GT3 Endurance Race at LeMans

 Another VRS Endurance Race for the iRacing GT3 cars is in the books.  This the last race of the season had some excellent driving from the 4 Stooges Race Team.  Team Black (Wally and JC) finished 16th.  Team Depends (Karl and Jerry) finished 27th after Jerry wrecking in the last chicane and taking over 12 minutes in the pits for repairs.  For Team Black, Wally completed 21 laps with 4 incidents; JC also completed 21 laps with 4 incidents.  Team Depends had Karl completing 23 laps with zero incidents and Jerry completed 16 laps with 10 incidents.

When we look back at our first few endurance races and then our last two races we have as a team made major improvements in our finishes and consistency.  We now look forward to next season in the these 3 hour endurance races as well as entering a few of the 24 hour and 12 hour races.  

So for the 4 Stooges Race Team it is from that great philosopher Buzz Lightyear that I say "To infinity and beyond".
