Small note to everyone, forgot my wireless keyboard at work so I will be DS3 typing tonight. Please bear with me.

Would love to join this. Took an extended break from Gran Turismo until GT6 launched. I was hoping you'd do one of these for GT6. Then I injured my neck and shoulder in a real world incident, so it looks like I'll be taking another break from GT6 (it's that or use the DS3, which I've grown to hate). Hopefully you'll be doing a season sometime after this one.

Always best to use a hard connection if you can while racing, just in case.

Guess I was the only one who lost connection after first race, by the time I got back in the second race was 4 laps old. Too bad.

Alright, thanks to everyone that showed up tonight. Pretty much a full house which is a good sign for a pre-season race. There were a few hiccups (my fault), and I don't think many connection issues. If everyone that was present for the Pre-Season race could answer the following questions, that would be fantastic. 
What was the best part of the race format?
What would you change about the current race format?
Should the races be longer or shorter?
Should qualifying be solo run, or together as a group?
Should the second race based on previous results or something else?
Do the cars seem fairly even?

What was the best part of the race format?
All of it. I really don't have any complaints.
What would you change about the current race format?
Nothing.
Should the races be longer or shorter?
Maybe a drop longer, otherwise it's good.
Should qualifying be solo run, or together as a group?
I feel like it should stay as a solo run. Sometimes it can be difficult to spread out on small tracks like these, and it will show when we have 14-16 people racing. Also, it gives us the chance to focus on just the lap times and not everyone else on the track.
Should the second race based on previous results or something else?
As much as it would be awesome for the winner to start at front again, I feel like it should be set to 'Reverse grid order based on previous race results'. It helps mix things up a bit and show those faster guys their passing skills and dealing with traffic.
Do the cars seem fairly even?
Yes.

I don't know, it's all pretty good

Reverse grid for second race
Should the races be longer or shorter?
I always want longer races.
Should qualifying be solo run, or together as a group?
Solo seemed to work out fine. The group qualifying is kind of rough around the edges. It's cool to see and I'm sure we could do it, but I'd stick with solo
Should the second race based on previous results or something else?
Well I finished the first race in 7th and started the second race in 8th so I don't think that's going to work

What was the best part of the race format?
There was nothing that stood out to me. I had a pretty easy going time and had fun. I'm happy I finished racing before 10:00pm EST.
What would you change about the current race format?
If we start qualify at 8:30-8:45pm EST it seems perfect to finish racing before 10:00pm EST.
Should the races be longer or shorter?
The two 20 minute races feel good for the amount of time we spent tonight. I wouldn't mind one endurance race every now and then instead of two sprints.
Should qualifying be solo run, or together as a group?
I say we do race together and space out it makes it easier to watch for corner cutting etc.
Do replays show qualifying?
If so, do solo and issue penalties to corner cutters in qualifying.
Should the second race based on previous results or something else?
I am ok with the way tonight race was but reversing the grid might be fun for front runners to work their way thru the pack.
Do the cars seem fairly even?
I can't say for the most part. My mx-5 seems to be competitive I just need to be a better driver to keep up with the faster guys.

What was the best part of the race format?
2 races at night.
What would you change about the current race format?
Nothing.
Should the races be longer or shorter?
It was great, at most 1 lap longer.
Should qualifying be solo run, or together as a group?
Solo, solo, and solo only.
Should the second race based on previous results or something else?
Reverses grid is fun but, with heavy damage it can be a nightmare. If we ran light damage it could work.
Do the cars seem fairly even?
Hard to say, but I think so. Not really a good track to test on. I thought this was one of my better tracks until I saw that 29.3

Live qualifying is fun
What would you change about the current race format?
I don't think...
Should the races be longer or shorter?
Seemed like a good length
Should qualifying be solo run, or together as a group?
Solo
Should the second race based on previous results or something else?
Either reverse grid from 1st race, or a second shorter qualifying run.
Do the cars seem fairly even?
Haven't tried anything else yet.

What was the best part of the race format?
The 2 races, makes for big potential, as i found out, by starting the 2nd race from last
What would you change about the current race format?
The Qualy to one where everyone is on track and slightly longer races
Should the races be longer or shorter?
Definatley longer 50-100%
Should qualifying be solo run, or together as a group?
Together imho... both have their ups and downs
Should the second race based on previous results or something else?
Yes, i found out the hard way lol... i started from last in the 2nd race due to some connection issues in the first one, and it was beautiful getting past people cleanly etc... the only thing that i would change is the damage to light since not everyone is of the same skill set or maybe just a connection fault and if somoene smashes into you, you lose the whole race.

What was the best part of the race format?
>>>I like the general flow- not too long to be intimidating, but enough to have substance, be interesting and encourage us to step our game up.
What would you change about the current race format?
>>>A 1-5 minute break between races? maybe not..
Should the races be longer or shorter?
>>>This seemed pretty good- not so edgy as a typical lobby 3 lap sprint, but not enduro- a couple more laps would allow some tight battles to play out, and the field feel even less pressured to pass/ drive aggressively. But that could be a negative, too.
Should qualifying be solo run, or together as a group?
>>>Solo makes a lot more sense to me.
Should the second race based on previous results or something else?
>>>Previous results, or reverse previous to live dangerously
Do the cars seem fairly even?
>>>Can't comment no exp.

Thanks guys. Seems to me like we'll be staying with the Solo qualifying, we may switch to limited damage and do reverse grid for the second race. Everything else looks to be fine just the way it is. 👍
Keep the feedback coming.

As for damage, I'm fine with any setting, I think full/heavy is best but if it ruins it for other people light sounds ok.

Hey R1600, does it matter if I have a MX-5 Miata SR-Limited besides a MX-5 SR-Limited, because they are the same exact thing.

Try to get one on the list. It may look the same, but I haven't tested it and it's too late to add it.

What was the best part of the race format? Wouldn't consider anything best or worst, it was overall a great format.
What would you change about the current race format? Nothing
Should the races be longer or shorter? Race length seemed perfect.
Should qualifying be solo run, or together as a group? I like solo run. It allows you to run without distraction, and not worry about being in someone's way if you spin or have any issues.
Should the second race based on previous results or something else? I would say reverse grid, but then I'd be in danger every second race, lol
Do the cars seem fairly even? Can't really comment being one of the slower drivers.

Had to work early this morning but would like to add my 2 cents. Really would like damage remain at Heavy as lag may be due to some accidents, over ambitious driving leads to most. We all want reality except when we would have to take a penalty for someone's actions. Please keep it to heavy.
Making the racing longer on such hard tires would only stretch out the field.
