The only time i worked out is around 4am to 4pm uk time ( 1pm to 1am Australian time ) If thats not possible, i had another idea but the other competitors might not agree to it.
Here is what i came up with
1 - You all still do your event in the time you say.
2 - You tell me the car & tracks you race on with the number of laps.
3 - You record all the results of all competitors. ( Total time to complete race & fastest lap )
4 - I do my own race with same car & track with same laps, i record my results & Best lap & PM the results to you then you add my results to the main group putting me in 1,2,3 etc .
Example
Arvore completes race in 12 minutes & 45 seconds
Addictions completes it in 12 minutes & 56 seconds
I send you a PM with my results like i complete it in 12 minutes & 48 seconds, that would put me second. I know it would be hard to control, & i know Arvore would know this, i'm a far racer & would not race in a advanced version of the car the main field used.
Remember, it's just an idea !!!
Sorry Jason but I don't see that will work...see is that racing with 9 guys in a lobby makes racing much more unpredictable than racing alone with the track only for you.
I'll give two examples last night in London River I did 1,26,230 with the stock DB9 when I was consistently lapping in the low 1,25 in the pratices I did the nights before with 3 and 2 racers in the lobby...I started last had to work my way trough the pack,spun when trying to overtake another driver in the hairpin(stupid me
)and was last again and after 10 laps I was glad to manage reaching the third place
after the 5th lap one of those red barriers was in the middle of the track at the exit of the last corner making drivers to choose an alternative racing line outside the optimum trajectory-in a couple of laps we reached that corner 3 racers at the same time and going round the barrier(which position is dinamic since it moves when somebody hits it again-thats what makes this races so funny,the unexpected factor)
In the Green Hell I was doing 7,51 mins in the previous pratice sessions (2,3 racers) but last night I did 7,59 because I had a faster driver then me(which did 7,54 and if he hadn't slower racers in front of him he probably does less 10 secs then my best time)cooking up pressure on me and I made several mistakes pushing my limits trying to secure the lead, which would not have happened if I was racing alone without pressure
So in resume racing a 9 racers lobby stops you from pulling your best times,doesn't had the unexpected factor-accidents,crashes between other drivers in front of you,etc-and above all the faster racer doesn't necessarily win,as last night well proved
So don't take it wrong I would love you to join us but in different conditions of the ones suggested...
BUT:
1- We can always race outside a formal competition whenever we meet online
2-There is another competition organized by fellow GTPeer that I think(I don't join because it's on SCC events day) it's runned at the time you mentioned:

3-I can remember at least two other competitions in Gtp foruns which format allows you to participate in the way you suggested:

I Know that probably it wasn't the answer you were expecting but it is the possible one
