VRES 2024 | announcement From 2024, the Virtual Racing Endurance Series (VRES) will finally live up to its name and be turned into a real series. VRES becomes a long-distance championship with 4 events; one 24-hour and three 8-hour races. However, registration remains free and the events will continue to be accompanied in the live stream. The dates have already been set (easy to remember: always the 1st Saturday in months 3, 5, 9, 11), as well as the basic concept in which the vehicle selection sometimes changes. This implies that the teams can choose different vehicle classes depending on the event. event 1 date: March 2nd + 3rd, 2024 race duration: 24h track: Nordschleife number of vehicle classes: 6 (identical to the 2024 VRrF2LN) additional information in advance: In 2024, the VRES 24-hour race will be held two weeks before the opening race of the VRrF2LN. The vehicle selection is identical to the 2024 VRrF2LN. In preparation, both series will share the training servers and training races in a 24-hour layout from early January (probably from January 6th or January 13th, 2024). It is currently planned, although not yet finally decided, that up to 2 teams registered in the VRES can join together in the 24-hour race and thus take part in one car. Both teams receive the same points and go their separate ways for the rest of the season. A points multiplier is also conceivable for the longest race of the season, but has not yet been decided. event 2 date: May 4, 2024 race duration: 8h track: Buddh International Circuit number of vehicle classes: 2 (one Le Mans Prototype class (LMH, LMDH or LMP2) and GT3 (GT3-BOP identical to the 2024 VRLSM and VRGTM)) event 3 date: 09/07/2024 race duration: 8h track: Riverside International Raceway number of vehicle classes: 2 (Group C and a matching touring car class) event 4 date: 11/02/2024 race duration: 8h track: Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit number of vehicle classes: 2 (one Le Mans Prototype class (LMH, LMDH or LMP2) and GT3 (GT3-BOP identical to the 2024 VRLSM and VRGTM)) annotation 1 We reserve the right, for example due to unexpected MOD releases to adjust above mentioned MOD selection. There could also be changes to this announcement as series planning progresses. annotation 2 Please note that the series' portal pages and forum areas will not be updated until early 2024. Links: - VirtualRacing's portal page - VRES in forum of VirtualRacing (translated into English by Google Translator) We are looking forward to new participants and seeing known participants again in 2024. Best regards, the admins of the VRES The next posts here will be the official series information (probably quite similar to this announcement), the start of the servers and then the respective LiveStream announcements.
