OVERVIEW
Welcome to the Coach Dave 6 Hours of Hockenheim, our latest one-off endurance event on iRacing!
On the first weekend of September, GT World Challenge heads to Hockenheim for the first time, so to mark the occasion Coach Dave thought it was fitting to hold our own endurance race in GT3's at the track. Only, we thought 3h - the irl race duration - was a little short, so we decided to stick with our favourite duration of 6h instead.
Teams of between 2-3 drivers are required to enter this event and teams will get to choose a GT3 of their choice from a selection of 7 GT3's. There is space for a whopping 60 cars on the grid!
