Two years!! It feels like time just flew by for me.

Wow this is my anniversary, January 5th, I completely forgot

Haven't seen much discussion about the support series other than it being a good idea, which it is of course.

Could they be based on different single make cups as they have around the world? MX-5, Porsche, Vantage, Caterham, Clio ect?

Would you like a different car each race or 3-4 cars or just one to try and create a mini series of sorts?

Will qualifying be limited to the teams who are assigned to the main event that race or can all teams attempt to qualify for the support series races?

Perhaps something where all of the classes get assigned a one make cup to have their bronze drivers compete in with the teams qualifying for the event getting an entry that week to keep it simple and still getting multi class racing just on an easier scale for our bronze drivers.

Just thoughts! Where's your head at?

 

[TNR_KING_FILO]

This is to everyone participating in this Series. I know people are busy and what not, but people need to actually contribute to BoP in their respective Class chats. Please actually make the classes fair, because when your in the car of choice and your 2 seconds off pace by no fault of your own, you'll be wishing you helped.

All the details that have been announced to date can be found here.

There will all be single car races, with the expiation of Le Mans, where we might do something special.

Would you like a different car each race or 3-4 cars or just one to try and create a mini series of sorts?

Each Support Race will be themed in relation to its location and the car will reflect that theme.

Will qualifying be limited to the teams who are assigned to the main event that race or can all teams attempt to qualify for the support series races?

All 40 franchises will be invited to field 2 BRONZE drivers. With the exception of franchises that do not have at least 2 BRONZE drivers who have not been nominated to take part in the Main Event.

I'm available to help with the testing. Where do I get the details or who do I need to contact?

 

[TNR_KING_FILO]

you don't need to contact anyone - AJ sent "initia" specs for each and every class to the team managers. If you're not happy with the initial specs then make BoP adjustments. But it seems no one is even testing the initial specs.

 

[RuddRacer]

@TNR_KING_FILO thanks for the follow-up.

I will check with my team manager @Nail-27. A team meeting is planned, this may be one of the topics.

 

[Fallen_log]

I will be running Daytona BoP starting at about 10:00AM EST (about 45 minutes from now). Anybody who enters just say BoP Test in the room chat.

General Series Discussion - 2015 GTPlanet Endurance Series

Welcome to the 2015 GTPlanet Endurance Series. Please feel free to use this thread to make any posts regarding the series, in particular Teams who are looking for drivers may advertise here, as well as Drivers looking for Teams to join.

AJ can you add me to GT4....and make category too....

 

[TNR_KING_FILO]

Hey AJ do you think you could type the team names above or below of the team managers GTP ID's so they know who represents who?

 

[JonoStan96]

In regards to the races, what time do they usually start and what time zone, so I can convert it to AEST. I'm just concerned being in Australia some races will carry on into Monday.

 

[Fallen_log]

The time the races start is determined by the track location in the real world. For example, I think Daytona will have a 3:00 PM EST start time, while Le Mans will have a 9:00 AM EST start time.

 

[AJ]

I have set up a new Skype account (username can be found in my profile).
This will be the best and quickest way for TMs and Drivers to contact Race Control during a Session for anything other than Stint Photos.
Please include your GTP ID when sending me a contact request, many thanks in advance.

 

[TNR_KING_FILO]

@AJ, May you provide clarification for me regarding the pit stop and stint procedure?

• We may not stay on track for longer than 65 without going into the pits but does this mean going into the pits to change drivers for a new stint or can we go into the pits to get new tires and then go back out (Basically a double stint)?
• If we can double stint do we still have to post a stint picture since we would have to visit the pits at least once?

1. The later. Stints begin and end with a pit stop, under normal circumstances.
2. Yes. If you don't record a picture you will breach the 65 minutes rule and will suffer penalties as a result.
