I'm working away this week until Wednesday but should get on later in the week. Can anyone recommend any decent leagues that run uk times? Evenings etc? I've not done much gt racing as I spend most of my time on iRacing but GT academy has given me the bug! I'll get adding people shortly.

Getting on now to purchase all the cars. Look forward to getting on track with all of you guys soon.


EDIT:
Little confusion on cars to purchase...

OP says to grab this car:
  • 2013 Deltawing sponsored by Nissan at LeMans 2012 - [344hp - 687pp]

options in game are as follows
---Deltawing 2012 Le Mans (Deltawing sponsored by Nissan at Le Mans 2012) - [299hp-668pp]
---2013 Deltawing - [345hp-687pp]

Just wanted to point that out. I bought both models but just wanted to make sure we all get the same car. Thanks in advance for any clarification...

Thanks to Outlaw4rc for showing me how it's done tonight. I can't say I was surprised to be that far behind but It was definitely an eye opener. Really appreciate the ass whoopin. We didn't get around to the Silvia TC but it was nice to race the two Z's for a bit. All I can say is, I have a lot of work to do if I want to be competitive at the top level...A LOT!! IF i do get a seat at Nat's, hopefully I can keep it together on track.

With the short time left until Finals, reaching the top level in GT's a tall order. If you're in the lower end of the tiers, it's better working on stringing decent laps together. In (hopefully) four-driver races, you can get 2nd place or even wins by simply waiting until something happens at the front.

Long story short, avoid over-driving the car. Very easy to do when in the Finals.
 
The practice sessions seem kinda rare, can we have a more consistent schedule and have some generous fast guys like @outlaw4rc and previous finalists who won't be competing show us how to go faster?

Well I'm sure some of those tips would help consistency as well.
 
I'll be on tonight around 9pm till 11:30 Eastern. Track vote, 3 lap practice 5 lap races. Gonna try to keep a quick pace in the room so have your cars ready with oil change. Only 1 race per track. I'll post the room number once the room is up.

Using the Silvia TC and might move to a GTR later.

I would rather 2 races per track. To allow the people with a poor first race to redeem themselves :) just a suggestion.
 
The problem with my availability is that most Finalists tend to be EST while I'm PST. When I get home, the races are usually winding down. Anytime after 6:00pm PST, I should be around for some action. 👍
 
Rooms up 1472-6681-3329-8089-6925 CLOSED


Using the Silvia TC tonight for a bit, then jumping in the R34 Skyline. Tracks will be by vote and two races per track. Starting with Brands Hatch Indy 80's. I need to get the kid in bed and situated before I can race. Might be another 20 minutes till I'm ready to go.
