Man, that's a ton of fun. Too bad so many tech issues. First time I've experienced this "tire bug" too. I heard somebody say they couldn't change their tire compounds. I had the same problem. During my race pits I was given no option for fuel OR tires. I DO have all 3 compounds of tires for the car too. Weird.

I couldn't change my tires either. I wanted to use racing hard after the first set of softs.
 
Annoyed I missed this, it was at 9am here and its my sisters birthday.
Hope it was good cya next week
 
I logged for practice, took about 10 or more laps following Troggy.
Then I had to disconnect to help my wife but couldnt sign in to my PSN account anymore.
Motegi sounded a lot of fun. Drivers seemed also to be racing closer to each other.
Everything converging to a terrific race.
Shame that I missed.
Looking foward to meet you again next week. Count me in.

Yep, I wanted to use RM's. I could get 4 or 5 laps more out of them. I don't really know how my tire life was in the race, but in practice I could manage 15 on softs, 19 on mediums. So S,S,M would have been my preferred tire strategy.

As someone who could change, tire wear on the second set of tires seemed to be heightened. I switched to mediums on purpose because i knew wear was more intense on the second set. Once I was back on softs my wear normalized. Slightly altered my strategy, but not by too much. Just didn't push my tires as hard and added another pit to be safe. Ended up being for the best as the late race caution put Bill up close with much fresher tires. Luckily I was able to get away on the restart.

Whether it counts or not, I had a blast in my first NASCAR race with you guys. Hope to see you next week
 
Yeah, that was a blast. I don't have the speed to keep up, but I had decent consistency. One spin when I lifted for the caution, that was really my only major incident I think.
 
Hello fellas last night was a big mess with connections I only saw 5 drivers. I need everyone's input I'm leaning on last night could be chalked up as another test run and see what happens this Monday. So on that note please leave your thoughts bad or good.



@goofytyler your connection is need to be host if you don't mind bro
 
I say we chalk it up to a practice run. That being said, if we try Monday and have a similar result,'we are going to have a tough decision to make.

Since the season has effeftively been postponed. What are your thoughts on running at 70% power at all tracks. I feel like it will allow the cars to handle a little bit more like their real life counterparts, without having to introduce tuning. Will make the oval races more exciting IMO.

Yes I like the 70-75% on all tracks I will be on tonight after my board to do some more testing
 
I believe that tire wear is the big question here.
Im up for a practice run tonight. We could run laps enough to beging an assessment on how much wear we would run into for each tipe of tire. That would help us have a better feeling for later races as pit strategy is going to be a key factor for higher positions.
 
I say we all race with racing soft in real nascar every car has the same tires the only differences is how many each team orders for that race weekend. Give me your input.

Can we track how many pit stops one would be allowed to make at a single race so we could simulate real life?
I second you, Pichon. Lets keep it simple for now.
 
Hey thanks for letting me join you guys last night. I apologize for having the wrong tires and delaying everyone. I thought if I pit during practice and change mine, it would start me with whatever I currently have. Clearly not the case. I won't make that mistake again. Again it was a lot of fun racing with you guys even with the tech issues. I would like to continue the NASCAR events despite this. I want to get better at this to be actually competitive with you all!

Yah no problem I can do that hopefully next week will be better.
 
*sigh*

You guys are killin' me.

I think this concept is possibly too new and untested to warrant a season. Personally, I think it may find greater success if it's slowed down a bit and just run as a weekly race for now. No points.. none of that serious stuff. Just race and figure "it" out. They're stock cars guys... It is what it is, and it's hard. I say we have two rooms. The Men's room (full power, no aids etc.) and the Ladies' room (whatever power you can handle with TC and ABS allowed).

Personally, I don't really want to run dumbed down stock cars. There's ten thousand other clubs to race cars that have been made "easy" to drive (Race Mod pick of the week).

I'm gonna race karts tonight. I"ll be near the back as usual and I'm ok with that.

I was only making a suggestion, and was curious to see what everyone's thoughts are. I just wanted to see if anyone wanted to give it a shot.
 
My thoughts are that we should keep the monday night as practice/test race for now until we can get it all dialed in and make it a proper championship. I also think we should keep the cars full powered and no aids but I'd be happy to race with limited power as well

My only issue with full power on road courses is that it makes the cars painfully difficult to handle through corners. I'm up for whatever as long as it is consistent and the same for everyone. I just feel like limited power on road courses will save us from rage quits.

I know Pichon wants everyone's opinions so guys don't hesitate to let your feelings known.
 
Yes I want every1s thoughts it's an for road course will stay the same no change. Ovals I'm up for 75-80% to make it a fun Monday night for every1. As of right now we will not keep pts until issues are resolved.
