Sure. But let's do 735 / 875 for 1610. I like even numbers

New Track groupings have been posted. Any one run laps at Spielberg yet?

Did a random online race there today during my lunch break. Was a GT-3 room, pretty fun track, graphics decent. It looks very gritty and I guess realistic for sports car racing. Will be interesting to compare when I get to see some of the F1 practice later today. Should make for some good multiplayer racing. Nice simple combination of straights, sweepers, and tight 2nd gear corners.

Be aware of the exit curbing on some turns, must be a steep dropoff after the gator teeth, dropping a wheel on the other side can pull you way wide and the green concrete is very slippery.

 

[jobyone]

I tried out the short Speilberg course. I like it although there are a few places that concern me as there are big areas to "Run Wide" and gain time

 

[88GTA]

Wow looks like I missed a lot. I can't wait for Tuesday though!

 

[kendawg]

I have ran this division since it has started. The one thing I can say that it has always come down to a close points battle. Whether it be for the lead or 3rd place. It shows what close racing it produces. It is the only series that I look forward to each and every week. Last week was a tie breaker between me and Kg. I thought I would end up 3rd or 4th for the night. But when Joe called out the results from the last race I was very surprised. It seems there is always 5 points that separate the top 3 positions.

I would like to thank Jobyone for starting this league and Joe for putting in the work each and every Tuesday. The results show that it is close and I will add Fun racing.

 

[jobyone]

Hoping to join you guys soon

This really does mean a lot to me. I am trying to figure out how to be able to race with you all. And also how to expand what DTC does.

Also you are now my favorite

 

[88GTA]

That that I would give you the times of these tracks since I was going to try them out.

 

[88GTA]

This update is seriously cutting into my practice time.

@jobyone
What's up with the Google doc? Just went to reference it and it's only like 2 cells.

Well We should be all good. One of three things must have happened

1. Someone is really bad with google docs and managed to delete every sheet

2. Someone was trying to rip off all the work we have done and deleted everything

3. Or someone does not like me or the DTC and thought it would be fun to delete it all.

Anyway. Google is good for backups.

Quick question, are we doing the 2nd race with comfort softs, i.e. 735 total pp group?

It is possible I can make it. But I worked this same event last night and did not get home until 11 p.m.. But that went a little later than I expected. We shall see, hopefully I can be home in time for racing but I doubt it.
