The following top 10 need to confirm their intent to race this week by replying in this topic (no later than 8:00pm eastern on Race Day) with a simple post that they plan to race this week (Example - I plan to race this week). I will update the list accordingly.

Does anyone want to do some practice laps?

Didn't see that or I would have jumped in and ran a few laps with you. I just ran a 40 minute stint to see what I would need to do and now I know. I just have to manage to qualify into the race and not get called in to work that night.

 

[Parcells2]

Parcells plans to race this week.

 

[go6]

I have done a personal race of 40 minutes. This is what i found out....18 total laps, 1 full fill up on 1 pit stop. If anyone else has a different strategy, please do share. Im almost curious if i should make 2 or three pit stops just to keep my fuel tank full without having one long pit stop. I know in gt5 is was almost always the case to get the best tires and keep the pit stops as frequent but quick as possible. With this new tire wear in gt6 is one loong pit stop worth it? Either way i enjoy the endurance races so no matter what ill only pit once, who's with me?

brnt plans of racing this Wednesday evening

...no matter what ill only pit once, who's with me?

Haven't tested yet but based on your data Parcells will only be doing one pit assuming tyres aren't an issue.

I haven't run a full practice race yet so not sure how it will play out.

 

[Dragonwhisky]

If Dragonwhisky manages to qualify, his pit strategy will be to drive the car until he decides the tires are done, pitting without some engineer telling me I need 4 more laps on that set, get some new skids and go juice, rinse and repeat.

Just keeping the theme of referring to one's self in the third person.

Its bad enough we have 2 Parcells racing... Although it is funny hearing the two of them argue over the team radio.

As mentioned earlier in the week we have made a change to the Optional Team Championship rules (details can be found here). Below are the current division assignments for Season 2. Those in SNAIL are based on Sunday SNAIL Division assignments as of this posting. Those not in SNAIL are based on performance from last season (minimum 4 races). Anyone assigned to a division below are eligible to form teams as long as the combined team score is 6 or greater.

Don't forget you have until the drop of the green flag on Wednesday to get your team confirmed.
Anyone assigned to a division below are eligible to form teams as long as the combined team score is 6 or greater. ​

When signing up for a team, please provide team car color and team name.​

Remember, there is nothing extra you have to do once the team is formed.
If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks.​

 

[brntguy]

Put together a little highlight reel for the first seasons races.

 

[GGGMotorsport]

@brntguy - As always. thanks for doing these for the series. Looks like some great battles in the highlights. So eager to get season 2 going!

 

[CoachMK21]

I plan on racing Wednesday. Hopefully I can find some time to get at least a few laps of practice. Hopefully my new teammate, @Dragonwhisky makes the main event!

 

[Dragonwhisky]

I was hoping you'd be carrying the team tankard into battle for us this week. Would be even better if we both make the grid. MOAR POINTS!

 

[Wardenclyffe]

I plan on practicing tonight. If I don't see a room up when I sign on I'll create one.

 

[GGGMotorsport]

I should be able to open a room around 8:30pm eastern

 

[JLBowler]

I have a question about the pit entrance at Suzuka. Is it before or after the casio triangle?

 

[Zii1993]

Anyone open for some practice now?

 

[GGGMotorsport]

I'll be online shortly

I have a question about the pit entrance at Suzuka. Is it before or after the casio triangle?

After casino triangle. In fact, I had to look it up and then go in came to see where it is. Talk about narrow. For this race, you can enter the pits as you are coming onto the main straight.

 

[GGGMotorsport]

Lobby open for practice if anyone is interested: Room closed

 

[Zii1993]

Lobby open for practice if anyone is interested: 1472-6118-3787-3250-7440

On my way.

 

[GGGMotorsport]

Pit strategy will be very interesting this week. Does the race go 18 or 19 laps? 1 or 2 pit stops? Going to be a fun race that's for sure!

Sign me up! however, I'm not sure I'll be able to make it in all the races...

No problem

Please look over the list of drives in the first post and pick a car number that is not already in use. I need that to set you up on the scoring tool.

Thanks
