I got the small poster one (inverted, so the black background) and it appears to be fine. It has the index which gives some stats about each track (location, length and when it was opened being the ones I can see so far....haven't unwrapped it yet since I know I'm not getting it framed until 2015 anyway).
 
We ran group A. You get to pick the regular car (no racecars).

Under 401PP (A)
401-450PP (B)
451-500PP (C)
501 and Up (D)


OK, Here's what I got:
Group B
Nissan Fairlady Z 300ZX (Z31) '83
PP 421
Track - Tsukuba
Tire - car comes with CS
 
Sorry for not being around. The inlaws are finally gone so I hope to make some updates in the next few days and will get the new TT set up.
I hope everyone had a great Christmas.
 
Look Down a few posts:)

Week 4 of the DTC TT has been chosen. This will be the first Time Trial of the January Season so the participation points reset. I will setup the event later tonight and it will go live at midnight. This is open to any member of the club. If you are not a member of the club the id is 1005073. This weeks event will be with the:

DTC Time Trial
Week 4 - Open

Nissan Fairlady Z 300ZX (Z31) '83
@
Tsukuba

The car will of course be stock (PP - 421, HP - 235, Weight - 1380 kg) and will run on Comfort Medium tires. The event will run from Wednesday - Tuesday. I want to keep this short and sweet so would like people to accept the gentleman's agreement that they will only spend 20 minutes on the time trial with no practice. This combo was chosen by @kendawg.

Current Standings:

1. @kendawg - 1:12.180
2. jobyone - 1:12.484
3.
4.

The person with the fastest time at the end of the event will get to choose the next event (no testing). The only guidelines on choosing the next combo is that it be a different drivetrain and different class (based on PP). Tires will be 1 harder than the car comes with from the Dealership. The classes are:

Under 401PP (A)
401-450PP (B)
451-500PP (C)
501 and Up (D)


You get 1 pt for taking part. You get an additional 3 for 1st, 2 for 2nd and 1 for third. The participation bonus will increase for each week in the season you take part. So if you have run 4 week in a row you get 4 for taking part of your 4th time trial.

To run the event you need to do the following:
1. Go to the community section and go to the DTC Club (Club id: 1005073)
2. Go to the events and click on the current Time Trial
3. Create a room from the Time Trial event. This will create a room with all the correct settings and restrictions
4. Once in the room start the Race (Time Trial). This will give you 20 minutes to set your time
5. Once the event is done save your replay. Your results will automatically be posted to the event comments.

Introducing the New West Coast DTC event

First meetup is Jan 4th @ 9:30 Pacific Time

View attachment 282575

This event is currently in the startup phase. For the next few weeks/months we will simply meeting up at 9:30 Pacific time to do some racing. To start with we will be using the cars available in the Shared garage. This means anyone can join with out having to worry about buying cars or even doing oil changes. Simply select the car from the garage and start racing. For the first week I propose the following.

Combo 1 - Kart 100 @ Matterhorn Short

Combo 2 - Megane RS Trophy @ Laguna Seca
upload_2014-12-31_15-26-18.png

Combo 3 - M3 GT @ Laguna Seca
upload_2014-12-31_15-27-47.png

Race length will depend on the number of people in the room. the smaller the number the shorter the races to keep everyone bunched together. We will run each combo for about 30 minutes (including qualifying) and then switch to the next combo.

While racing we can discuss any suggestions on what sort of event we would like this to become in the long run.

This will be in an open lobby and the room number will be posted in the Main DTC thread.

I look forward to seeing you there and if you have any suggestions please do not hesitate to share them in the thread.

Its quite a feat of engineering if I say so myself. Ran out of screws before I could properly mount the stick and I will eventually wrap the whole thing in some speaker carpet my friend has lying around. Seat is from a NA Miata I found on craigslist.

Like this rig, my return will not be pretty! But I will get the hang of not using a controller eventually. See you all Tuesday!
