When reading through some of the other comments on the page, I noticed there's a good number of people who at least have an iRacing subscription. Would there be any interest in a 1 month long, free content only league? It would allow people to try the sim for a minimum cost if they're interested.

A 3 week mini championship with the MX-5 Cup, Formula Ford and Street Stocks could make for a lot of fun.

I'd be happy to organize and cover hosting costs if we can get 5/10 people interested

Edit: 5 Interested, I’ll put a poll together later and we can look at running this for the month of august.

Here's my quick Idea for a schedule

Week 1: Mazda MX-5 Cup At Lime Rock Park

Week 2: Formula Ford At Rudskogen

Week 3: Radical SR8 At Laguna Seca

Alternatively Street Stocks at Phoneix/Charlotte/Concorde if we want an oval round.

Scoring would be 1 point per position from the rear (ex. last place gets 1 point, first gets (total cars + 1) points)

Rules would follow iRacing sporting code and any stewarding decisions need to be decided by members not involved in the incident

A 1 month subscription costs $7.80 right now, and a 3 month subscription is $19.80 (This is some kind of sale for new memberships). All of the content in the proposed schedule is included in the subscription so there would be no additional costs.

I'd be up for this to try out iRacing, but it wholly depends on when the races happened. I'm UK based, and only really free to race after 8pm.

This is why I set up the hot lap challenges. We can all compete whenever we like.

I’d be interested to join, sounds fun. I’m in the EU though, so not sure what race start times would suit everyone.

Would be interested in this. US east coast time.

I'd be interested. US Eastern time. Happy to chip in a few bucks too for hosted session costs.

I'd be interested. EU central times. As long as the content is common or free I'm good with most ideas.

Alright, I've put together a poll and I'm going to link it here as well as make a new post - https://forms.gle/Jg6LqZGEXibrd7gH9

Sorry about the google form, didn't want to make an account on another site, I've set it to not collect email addresses.

I'll also add a link to the league I've created on iRacing and anyone interested can join.
