I'll go back to hosting, unless you really want to takeover.



Absolutely! I'll send you a club invite right away!

I don't mind you hosting Beal, up to you.

Ok, I don't have a problem either. Your more than welcome to host as long as you'd like. I'll takeover again whenever you need me too.

Hey Chris I'm sending over all the GTP Enduro Team members from DART ( Disabled Antiques Racing Team) to get experience with enduro procedures. Your's is the best stepping stone around as the new GTPE rules allow 65 minute maximum stint...thus most will be double stinting which works out to a perfect match. In the 24 hour races we will usually run either two or three 2 hour stints each most separted into different quarters of the race. Some, of course are familar to the rest of you guys, some are brand new.

Beal, do i set the room as public or club only?

 

[GTD_druid]

Hey any practice happening

 

[cmbeal317]

Club Only.

 

[goofytyler]

I'll be back as a "pro" endurance racer. Lol.
My car colors will be silver stone body with blue rims and still keeping the #24.

 

[Xradkins]

What would be a good qualifying time at Mazda Raceway with the LM55?

Qualifying is always 10min, unless otherwise specified.

 

[racingchamp30]

Have a room open.

Hey Chris when I removed the club frm my line up I thought it only removed the lobby....but apparently I need another invite. Sorry...if its too late not to worry

 

[racingchamp30]

60% Limiter puts the car to 651PP. No horsepower numbers though.

The Mazda LM55 VGT car has great gas mileage and tire wear. Well worth the choice and congratulations to Bryds with the win, great racing everyone.

This is one of the reason why I dont race as often as the part in bold is not followed consistently.

I have a question about the actual START of the cautions timer? Is the leader racing to the Start/Finish line after the 35 minute time, OR is the leader going into GHOST mode at that 35 minute time where ever he/she is on the track?

And, for restarting after the 7 minute caution, can the whole field begin to race, or do we have to wait the the lead car?

It stops exactly at 35mim, you don't go to the finish line.

 

[Bryds]

I do think maybe the restart rule should be adjusted so that the leader picks when to go. Right now it is at an exact time, but in my opinion the leader should have about a 5s gap on when he/she decides to go.

 

[Xradkins]

Thanks for your opinion. It would be nice to have an official ruling over someones interpretation. If I don't here from the event organizer than I will go with the written word as stated in post 1. Lead driver beware!

 

[GGGMotorsport]

It would also be nice to get official ruling on the 10 lap rule for tires and actually enforce it. It is my understanding that pit in and out laps DO NOT count towards the 10 lap rule but Ive seen many people dive into the pits at the completion of lap 10

I already asked beal on race day, he said this.

In and out laps do count this season.

Sorry for double post.

With a 6 hour time change at spa, what should i set the race time starting at and does it mean i set the time progression to 6 times?
