@msgt-sd looks like u might have slid in to 10th spot

 

[Jordan]

Wow, you did cut that close... but you made it and I see your entry, msgt.

Thanks to all of you who sent in a time. We'll begin verifying the top qualifiers now and I'll be contacting you all shortly via private message here with information on our first practice event, which will take place tomorrow at 7:00pm Eastern time (4pm Pacific).

At first glance, it looks like all of our top qualifiers are within 4-tenths of a second of one another. This is going to be an awesome race!

 

[msgt-sd]

Whew! It was within seconds that I made it then. Talk about pressure on that final lap!

 

[Doodle]

Good luck guys! I can't express how difficult it is for me to have to watch this from the sidelines.

Hopefully there's another one next year!

 

[Jordan]

@msgt-sd Oh, you just set the lap now? Very cool. 👍

 

[TRL_Importlife]

@msgt-sd your going to fell the pressure even more on competition day lol

 

[msgt-sd]

@msgt-sd Oh, you just set the lap now? Very cool. 👍

Yes! I set the lap and then ran to my computer to put in the time.

@msgt-sd your going to fell the pressure even more on competition day lol

Yeah, I think you're right dg.

I'm very sorry, I don't see a time entered in your account profile here.

 

[TRL_Importlife]

Top 10 get ready for some great racing should be very good race for those
Who watch live stream

 

[Adventuruss]

@Jordan Gtp_adam is not from the USA!
I don't think adventuruss posted his time in his account profiler
He did set a 34.928!!

I posted my time on my phone... Wow...

 

[TRL_Importlife]

For some reason It didn't go threw pm Jordan!

 

[Adventuruss]

I posted mine I think.

That's why I posted this. To make sure you got it.

 

[gt_adam_us]

I'm just in the vicinity of Chicago:)) Do you know other Chicago outside USA::)

 

[Gravitron]

Guys the 1st post has been updated with the totally original combo that you'll be racing. 👍

Would have been nice to use Bathurst, especially so you could show us how it's done without silly red-lap fear, but it's too buggy online. This was the next best alternative.

​

I posted my time on my phone... Wow...

That's why I posted this. To make sure you got it.

Sorry to hear about that...do you remember if you clicked the "Save" button after adding the time?

It would have been nice if we'd had time to tend to this thread and actually acknowledge submissions as they came in, but honestly we were pretty busy just working out the details for the race.

We'll discuss what to do about this. Stay tuned.

 

[VindictiveScrub]

Haha despite being sick I posted that time with about an hour to go and hoped it would be enough

 

[Adventuruss]

Yeah, I did.

 

[TRL_Importlife]

Your gtp name threw me off with the UK gtp_adam

 

[TRL_Importlife]

@VindictiveScrub you might get lucky and slip into top10 if
Jordan doesn't let adventuruss time be valid

 

[gt_adam_us]

Your gtp name threw me off with the UK gtp_adam

:))))

 

[Gravitron]

@Adventuruss will be added as an 11th man in the race. 👍 Verified in-game his 1'34.928 (84th overall) and clear intent to submit with no response from us.

Whether it was your error or the internet's, it seems you did try in earnest to confirm that your time had been received. 👍

Good luck on Monday, gents!

----
A couple notes on racing this combo:

• The practice sessions that will be announced are important. If you make no effort to show and then have connection problems the day of the race, we have to assume it's your connection.
• Join the room as early as possible during practice sessions and on Race Day to work out any connection issues.
• Online races add fuel weight so your best laps will be slower than your Time Trial times.
• Fuel/Tire wear on Fast over 18 laps will use ~25% of your tires and ~75% of your fuel. Pits aren't needed but smooth driving will be rewarded.
• Draft at Weak will allow some Turn 1 side-by-side action. Note the linked OLR rules regarding blocking and let's keep it clean in this difficult situation.

Just like in real racing, let's put on a good show for the crowd!

 

[TRL_Importlife]

So it's 18lap race with tire wear on fast ?

 

[Gravitron]

Yes, so 6min quali period and then a 30min race. 👍

 

[Doodle]

If anyone wants to do some practice later feel free to invite me.

 

[z06fun]

Glad to see you back msgt-sd. You going to run the final round? You should qualify easily for the finals.

So looking at the track boundary info, says red/white rumples are track but they are other colors here at Apricot hill right?

There are some that are all white, and those are legal too.

 

[Adventuruss]

Thanks for allowing me in guys. I really appreciate it.

 

[carracerptp]

EDIT: never mind, I hadn't read the thread yet.

 

[LVracerGT]

I didn't realize I was an alternative until now, does that mean people have to drop out of the top 10 to make the race?

That's correct, whether it be that they can't make the race on Monday, or they have consistent connection problems in the practices, or other "unfortunate events".
