I'm looking at yesterday's races and I think there's gonna be a huge problem here.
It's no surprise the participation is low because this is brand new, people don't know about it yet etc. But splitting the series in 2018 / 2019 / 2020 different championships just really doesn't make any sense and just pushes people away from each other.
Example, I would want to race the 10PM races quite often as that's convenient for me. BUT, it's limited to just the 2020 Evo Mercedes and the 2020 Evo Ferrari. I don't like those cars, I want to race the Lexus. So I just won't race. Also anyone that doesn't have the 2020 DLC, they won't race.
In the 7PM race it's the opposite problem. Only 2019 cars allowed, so if you like the 2020 Merc or 2020 Ferrari, or one of the older cars, you'll skip that race. Why not simply one single GT3 Sprint series? The 2020 cars aren't faster than the 2019 cars or the 2018 cars, they're all BOP'd to the same performance. We're all just gonna be keeping people away from racing, or pushing them into cars they don't want, for no reason.
Honestly it's really pretty simple, I'd do it like this, then tweak it further in the future if there's interest:
GT3 Sprint Series (25 mins) - daily, every 2 hours
GT3 Endurance Series (90 mins) - weekend races, maybe 1 Saturday, 1 Sunday (then add more if necessary)
GT3 Youtuber Series (60 mins) - as it is
GT4 Sprint (25 mins) - 1 race per day every day
Porsche Cup (45 mins) - 1 race per week
Lambo Super Trofeo (45 mins) - 1 race per week
Maybe add too multiclass GT3/GT4 1 per week, or Classic GT3 (2018 only) 1 per week, if there's enough interest. Doesn't have to be all exactly like this, it's just a suggestion.
