Rolling Schedule for Daily Series
#1
I'm positive that someone else proposed something like this in the last couple of months, but I couldn't find it again to re-propose it. Basically I want to see if it might be possible to drive more than just a couple of cars in future seasons by having all three of the daily AC racing series do a "rolling schedule". So basically instead of it being Skip Barber at 8AM my time every morning of the week, it's Skip Barber on Mondays, Thursdays, and Sundays, and the other days of the week would be Porsche GT3Cup or Nissan Primera, etc..

Here's a graphic to compare what it is now to what this proposal would do to it:

In this graphic, from this seasons cars and based on my time zone, A=Porsche GT3 Cup, B=Nissan Primera, and C=Skip Barber. I might be in the minority, but maybe not(?) where I only have a few time slots to actually set aside for sim racing... in my case it's 8AM and then Monday and Tuesday evenings. This worked out fairly well for me this season since I quite dig the three cars I got to race on the regular... but there have been seasons where the car at 8AM wasn't my favorite. Or worse and much more common is that I love ALL THREE daily cars and I only get to race in the one that happens to fall in slot C!

So basically I'm wondering how much of a pain it would be to cycle the race schedule every day so that every time slot for Daily Racing series gets to see all three Daily cars throughout the week. And if this is even desired by other SRS drivers. Do people instead like knowing every day that at 5PM it's going to be Car X, and after that it is Car Y, and after that, Car Z, every day?

A couple of fun facts found while doing this up in Excel:
  • Cycling the races helps even out the number of races per car over a week. Currently Car A and B each show up 42 times, whlie Car B gets 49 races a week. With the rolling schedule, Car A gets 45 races, and B and C each get 44.
  • People racing at 23:00 that really like that race get to do that same race back to back as you roll into the next day at 00:00.
Thoughts? I know anything is possible with code, but is this even feasible? Do people like the Dailies as they are now? Is there an even better way to mix this up that is more predictable but would allow more people to drive different cars more easily?
