Hey guys, was having some connection issues this afternoon but I am putting the room up now. The car for the event will be:

Volkswagen Golf IV GTI '01
31,500

Oil change
250

Racing modifications
156,500

Racing hard tires
15,000

Chador reinforcement
20,000

LInited Slip Differential
Optional

Putting up My Lounge now. I'll be pushing race start back to 8:45 to accomodate everyone.
 
Answered friend requests I got this afternoon, if you are looking for the lounge it should be up now, and add mikethehockeyfan to your flist if not.
 
If not enough people join (understandably since I posted the car an hour late) we can do some sprint-like races and then go join 450pp for the rest of the evening :)
 
Cam, Ruta, and I made a night of it :sly: The cars are a blast to drive, so Cam was thinking we should do an endurance using these down the line after we run out of the remaining events on Mondays.

On the plus side I have a new router that seems to be preventing my connection from taking a dump now.

👍 Was definitely fun! Honestly, the car was nice to drive right out of the box (after race mods), and by the time I hit Suzuka East I had my tune down for it. Would have been cool if everything had worked out tonight, though. I'd definitely be down for using these again!
 
Are we racing Monday 4/18? If yes, what is the car/track?
Sorry I've been out of town on business since Friday and (obviously) haven't had a chance to update this thread.

Yes, we are racing Monday night. I'm pretty sure it's Ferrari vs. Lambo II (500PP) or something like that. I'll have everything posted up by tomorrow night.

Just walked in the door 5 minutes ago.

Monday Night Endurances as a series has ended. Thanks to everyone for participating. There is no longer any wind in my sails to keep this series going.
 
I just got Ruta_Baracuda's PM on PSN regarding us keeping this weekly time slot open for an event.

I like the group of folks who have been getting together, and I think we could definitely work something out to keep this going.
 
I moved over to the 450PP Club races and with this no longer running, I invite anyway who likes close racing to check it out. The competition is strong and we run quite a few unique theme nights from hot hatch and family wagon, to 80s night and american muscle :D. We keep to mainly 5 or 10 lap races but have thrown in the out 20 lapper for kicks.

I agree with Mike. Maybe we can take a couple of weeks off and then try to get it going again.

Benda, thanks a lot for organizing. It has been fun for the few races I ran.

You're welcome :) It really was a lot of fun for me, not only racing but organizing the races. I'm just a little burnt out on the game right now (this happens to me every spring). If you guys pull something together for the same time slot I'll probably be able to stop in every once in a while.

Yeah, I'd definitely like to keep this going with the group we have if we can. Taking a week or two off so we could hammer things out would be cool; I'd like to see what everyone else is interested in doing as well. I could definitely host races on Monday nights, since I have some experience in hosting races in-lounge.
 
For sure, let's let a few weeks pass and then get something going.

We HAVE to organize a second running of the historic, epic "Lambo Vs Ferrari on Rome. 600 PP on Racing Hard Tires"

I am sorry to read this.

I was just looking for this thread to see if I could rejoin these races with you guys. I did these races with you guys a few times a couple months ago and then Monday's became no good for me.

NOW I could make it on Monday's again..

Sorry I missed the fun... If this ever gets back up and going again on Monday nights, I'll be there...
 
So after a forced amount of downtime due to PSN shennanigans, is there enough interest to revive this informal Monday Night series? Watched the 76 Laps at Rome and got a tad nostalgic. My internet connection isn't reliable enough to host, but what do you guys think about organizing something again? 1h30m races seem to be the ideal length, allowing for different pit strategies.
 
I'm up for it. It would be like a bit of online Club racing for me. :)
 
Yeah, I'm still interested. I don't really have as much time on my hands as I used to, but I could probably free up Monday nights.
 
Any interest in an informal race or track day tonight? I've been crazy busy over the past month or 2 and feel like getting online for a bit tonight.
 
I'd like to swing by for some racing as well.

Worst case, we could always hop over to the 450pp theme nights room and hang out there as well.
