I assume it's too early to ask how this tournament is going to be structured, but can you say whether the open wheel tournament will require any sims in addition to rfactor? If so, I don't think I'll partake because I have zero interest in running Race07 again and I think besides RF that's the only sim we use with OW, if I'm not mistaken.

As of right now, rFactor is the only choice for open wheel racing. I would not consider RACE07 as part of these championships unless some of the game issues are resolved prior to S10

Be prepared to run numerous open wheel cars though

Fine by me! I'll drive anything in rfactor. Count me in.

I love the trainers. :)
