Great idea this little championship!

I'm still not able to tell if I can participate but try to make it happen.

Would you like to tell, which layout of Lausitzring and Calabogie will be used?

Sure! (I might not have been specific enough, so I corrected it in the main post and here:
"Full" layout for Calabogie, and "DTM" layout for Lausitzring. (NOT the 2021 DTM)

The first obstacle has been cleared now. @Reik Major is the 10th driver, so this championship is officially ON!

Now on to the next ten drivers! (I'd also love to see more ..s..l..o..w.. folks like myself on the grid. And mediums and aliens, EVERYONE!!11!!1!)

Humm, I have never driven Algarve, Lausitzring or Sachsenring

It might actually be a good excuse to learn the tracks..

Do I get extra points for being the only one to drive the Porsche twice and with H-pattern, not paddles

Well... no. But I really admire your audacity to choose this car two times! :-D
I am really afraid of the race that I'll have to do with the Porsche... "Drive to survive - hopefully"

I won't be able to make a lot of these races but it's a fantastic idea! Love what you are doing with these car/track combo's Markus!

Aaaaww thank you for these nice words!

I guess you are always welcome to participate as a guest driver, right boys?

Phew! I'm sweating... I made a Content Manager Preset with 9 opponents (three of every available car) at 100% AI... SOOO INTENSE!

I just tried the same at Algarve

The Porsche is so wildly different in where it makes up time from the other cars. Not sure if it won't get frustrating racing a totally different cars. Fi. Praga manages to overtake the Porsche in the corner, Porsche blasts by on next straight and so on.

The word "frustration" never came to my mind in the 10 laps race I just did with the AI. For me it was battling at its finest. My hopes are, that having such wildly different cars on the track will make the races more spicy and more fun!
And a mini-championship with four rounds seemed to be a good format to me. We'll see at the end if my hopes were confirmed, ok?

EDIT: and yes, I chose the Porsche on Algarve, because of the longer straights... ;-)

I would love to join in these but I am so busy at the moment with other projects, but I applaud what you are doing Markus, it sounds like a really interesting series.
Good luck all, especially with that Porsche!

I chose the Porsche at Lausitzring and Sachsenring for the masochistic challenge, I may have to rethink that after a quick (numerous) spin at Sachsenring
