You are both welcome to join. Make sure you understand the rules and format from the first two posts. If you have any questions post them here as the guys will help clear anything up. Also please send a Friend request to Ice_Warden as he will be hosting the room.
Finally make sure to use the signup sheet to select your cars as it will help make sure you are within the correct PP range. The link is in the second Post.
@bloodredsky your current lineup for the second set is over the PP limit
1170
Ferrari Enzo Ferrari '02 - 591 - MR
591
Tommykaira ZZII '00 - 579 - 4W
579
Remember it is the full PP value of the cars that is used not what your car is at. So the Oil needs to be changed on the cars for them to have the correct PP.
Also on the signup sheet let the values fill in themselves. All you need to do is select the cars. The PP and drivetrain details will fill it self in.

I wholeheartedly agree. Question is, what did it do? I just took the MP4-12C out and I can't get it to feel like I remember driving it two days ago. Gobs of understeer? Time to find a new MR car...
Make sure you guys take a quick spin in your car's before tonight.
@bloodredsky
Your car wouldn't be illegal you would just be at a disadvantage. The clean racing is worth it.

Actually we are probably as laid back as you can get.
Your car is not illeagal unless it is tuned. But we use the oil changed PP values to calculate each car's PP. You can certainly bring all your cars without oil changes, but we use the values from our database not your garage. So if you buy a car that is 400pp and bring it racing, it will probably count as 407pp.

So no oil change in my ZZII means 11 less PP. So am I cool..?? I'm confused whether or not I am.

@bloodredsky - Don't let the complexity stop you from racing tonight. Just do your best to have four cars of the right drivetrain and have some fun. The guys will help you with the finer points if you enjoy the night.
The key for the PP is it is the full value PP that matters for figuring out the total. So if a car has 500PP with an oil change and yours only has 490 (no oil change) it still counts as 500 against your total PP. We do this to prevent any detuning. There is nothing stoping you from running down on PP but the key is to get as close to the Max as you can.
The racing really is a lot of fun
But it can take a few weeks to get used to the car picking.

I updated the PP on the Loctite NSX it is now showing the correct 569 on the sheet
Also guys do not worry about being a few PP over on your first night. Just come race. If your lineup is over we just deduct a point for each PP overage. It will not have an impact on having fun.

Updated. Thanks for pointing that out. Most of the race cars had there PP change with GT6. Pretty sure the old PP was based on being on a Race Tire where as now all cars PP is based on 1 tire compound.
I am just thankful for the VGT glitch. No more grinding

It will still count as 395 so just run it at full power. You will only loose 1 pt and for the first night that is no big deal. Just come have some fun. I think you will enjoy it. Lots of good fun guys having a laugh. Of course there will be lots of great racing.

I will probably log on around 9pm ish EST to accept FR and open the room for practice etc.
I usually choose my cars without testing early in the week and spend the last hour before race time calling myself a dumbass as I take a few sighting laps in each car. Then I frantically try to change my lineup before the first race starts.
I are smart...
Holy crap...we have over 3700 posts already. You guys talk way too much.
