That practice grid looked pretty full! I guess I better run some laps tonight to figure out my strategy. Two nights ago I ran about 40 laps, but forgot to change tire wear to fast --- what a waste!
Looking very forward to the event!

This thing of the new Logitech G29 Wheel for the PS4 that somehow a picture of a prototype leaked and bla, bla, bla sounds a little too weird for me.
Most of us knows that Companies have comercial strategies that are planned and decided over the course of several meetings with high management people and it's not very common to observe this companies making an 180° turn the way apparently, and I repeat apparently, Logitech is about to make.
Logitech firmly stated that they wouldn't be producing any more peripherals for racing simulators and suddenly, out of the blue, there's a new project for a new wheel that matches the technical requirements for the Sony PS4? After the whole world aknowledged that a big part of Logitech's decision was based in the fierce legal disagreement they had exactly with Sony?
I wouldn't get too excited with this matter just yet.

I wouldn't discount it yet. There's more sim racing games, and racing games thst support wheels than before. Lots of Logitech wheels are still used as well. That business strategy to back out was a while ago, they can change their mind. I think it would be a good idea to dip back into the market to saturate it more.

If you scroll down the list, GT7 is listed and sounds like PD will be releasing a trailer for GT7 when E3 rolls around next month.

Just an idea but what would be wrong if we opened a 2nd room? I'd be interested in giving an enduro race a try?

We currently have 5 drivers on the reserve list. Statistically speaking not all drivers that signed up will show up. We need drivers on standby to ensure a full grid.
However if all 16 drivers show up and someone on the reserve list wants to open a second room I have nothing against that.
With that being said I added your name to the reserve list.
If there are more drivers that would like to participate sign up! That way we could ensure a second race. Just tag me in post if you are interested.

By the way... it was interesting to do a couple of 30min enduro races last night. But that is not quite 90 minutes.
So... anyone interested in testing a 60 minute race tonight?

I had three great tracks in GT5 that were very realistic. I'd love to have those back at least.

Ran some late night laps, like over 70 of 'em. This is going to be a fun event. I'm excited to see the different strategies and how they play out.
I wonder if the lack of course creator could open PD up to a class action lawsuit. It seems it's an undelivered aspect of the game that they used to market their product.

Day 3 is upon us at Watkins Glen. Today we have a 6 hour event and I'll be driving the final 1:15 or so.
On both Friday and Saturday we finished 3rd in class out of 13 cars and 30th and 27th overall, respectively out of 81 total cars.
It took me a few laps to get a good rhythm on Friday, but I soon started running some fast and consistent laps in our Volvo. I had the best lap time on our team, 2:34.328. Last fall my best lap was 2:37, I think. Our A/F ratio was on the rich side, 9.8-10.0 when it should be 11.5. We were using about 11 gallons an hour. The brain trust decided to bump the boost from 8lbs to 9lbs, which is the max we can set it to currently. Each of us ran 1 hour stints with my Uncle not getting in the car on Friday.
On Saturday, my Uncle started off with an hour and also ran the last hour. He's not as fast as the other 4 of us, but at 70 years old, to only be 7-9 seconds slower per lap is pretty good. The rest of us ran 90 minute segments and I went second. Right away I started running really well with faster laps than Friday. My best lap ended up at 2:33.254. My cousin, JC beat that once with a 2:32.3. I gained 20 positions in 28 laps, moving from 49th to 29th.
Today the 5 of us will evenly split the 6 hours, but try to pit a bit early if there is a caution.
Here are my laps from Friday and Saturday. You can follow along at www.race-monitor.com starting at 10 am or a little after.
Sorry for the delay. He's in car #550. They had some issues of Friday, but seemed to run better on Saturday.

@MajorBlixem
What time does the endurance race start? I might be interested in joining a second room if I get all my post vacation chores done and get some practice in.

@MajorBlixem I would like to join as a substitute driver, and if we end up having enough, I would be happy to host a second room as well.

A quick update. We are out of the race. Our first driver, my cousin JC, hit a patch of oil or antifreeze going into the ankle of the boot and spun and hit the wall pretty hard on the driver's side, then the car rebounded off the tire wall and rolled.
He's fine. The safety of the car, the roll cage and the seat did their job. But the car is done for now. Sheared off the engine mounts and broke the distributor. Replaced the distributor so it starts and runs fine, but a lot of damage on the driver's side, some on the roof and the right front tire/tie rod is not good.
