Have always wanted to try a Nascar race. I might join this, though I'd like to try it out first.

Once we get around 4-5 people interested then I'll get a practice session up, if it all seems fine then we can get it going. Unfortunately a NASCAR race is not something you can test on your own :lol:
 
I really really wish I could join in, I've been waiting for a race like this, but as always, I can't because of work :). You GTP-guys have a nack for picking weekends that don't fit my schedule...
 
Couple of suggestions, try race quality on medium and do a small 5 lap test race to see if anyone lags and if they do get them to leave.
 
Hi,

I would like to join the race.

GTPlanet Name: Lotrzyna PSN Name: Lotrzyna Car: 2011 JOEY LOGANO #20 CAMRY

I have a few questions first though:

Can we "break in" cars before the race ? if they even gain power from that... ? or is there a power/weight/PP limit ?
Can we change oil before the race ?
Can we go with two wheels on or beyond YELLOW LINE ? I have seen clips of some top gear episode where NASCAR driver says that "you need to touch the grass" - witch would mean that we can but I would rather ask and be sure.

Yes to all except the yellow line, only time you can cross it is to avoid a car, if your damaged etc and need to get to pits and the last lap after the final corner.

You have pretty much 2 weeks so if its a new nascar go on practice mode and do laps until your car get to 892bhp. Also find yourself a good endurance setup, i have my tactics planned out so I'm ready. Also before you join the lobby do and engine and body rebuild.

I'm still in though.

How can I add this event to "my calendar" ? is there something like that ?
Will check it now and edit this message if there is.
 
OK OK. I will join. But what happened to the original prizes? I could use some matte/chrome paints :).

I will drive the 2011 RedBull car. Don't remember the actual name. If it's already taken, I will of course choose another car.
