Yes and the problem seems to be in all classes, not just the more expensive ones. National series seem to have healthy grids - maybe people who might previously have added Creventic races to their annual schedule are staying home instead?

[Anyopenroad]

Far from adding entries, they appear to have lost one of the GT3s, with a US-based Merc no longer on the entry.

I’m desperate to travel to motorsport again, but not sure this is worth it. Imagine a first hour pile-up leaving me watching Porsche Cup cars tootling round for 24 hours…

So 24 hours of Sebring is coming up this week. Probably on the 24hseries youtube channel.

Qualifying is Thursday
Race is from 1 pm Friday to 1 pm Saturday

From what I see there are only 7 GT3 cars but at least it is between 6 different makes (Ferrari, Audi, Mercedes, Porsche, BMW (M4), Lamborghini)

Also there is a Vortex entered and 2 Porsche 992 Cup cars. Rest of small grid are 991's, GT4s and TCRs. Hope the drivers on this grid enjoy night racing. There will be a ton of it Looks like a great event for novice drives to gain endurance experience.

I believe the timetable has been moved a day later because of shipping delays, so race now runs Sat-Sun.

There's nothing on the 14H Series Twitter (which is useless tbh) or website, but I received an email from Sebring with a new schedule showing:

Fri 19th 1830-2000 Night Practice
Sat 20th 0900-1330 Practice / 1400-1430 Qual / 5pm Race

I decided not to go because the entry list is very weak. Much as I love the idea of a 24H race at Sebring with no crowds, this entry is not worth the travel.

If the race starts 5 pm Saturday, then only the first hour will be daylight. No more light until just past halfway. Any of you guys who live in Florida you should probably set aside Sunday to go. Hope all the GT3 cars are still running by then. Only 7 of them but between 6 manufacturers.

Vila Real had talks with DTM to host a race but when ADAC took over DTM this did not materialize.

Just looked at the information for the Monza event this weekend and its €1250 for internet in your pit box....

[N Martin]

Barcelona 24 hours underway. Good race so far. Wtm Ferrari 296 leading but Herberth car looking very quick. Shaping up to be a good race.

[GT3_Fan]

I think Creventic should see if they can attract GTE cars to their series. There are no more places to run them with WEC GTE AM being the last class to go away for them.
