Sorry for the late notice but we'll be doing a 1h test race today at 1pm in case anyone's interested as well.

I really wish I could do this race, however work is going to get in the way of gt5 again!

 

[jonnyb1990]

Aww that's unlucky racefan

 

[TDZdave]

I cant access the facebook page for some reason but I'm keen for a crack at this,

 

[jonnyb1990]

It should be a public group... If you've got anything you need answering feel free to ask here. Otherwise, have you added memto89?

 

[TDZdave]

ok cool, it say's 1PM, but what time zone?

 

[jonnyb1990]

Ahh, should've thought of that. it's GMT

 

[jonnyb1990]

Also what class are you looking at TDZdave?

 

[TDZdave]

I'm torn between the 2 classes, on one hand I really should get used to using the GTR35 long distances as I'm using it in the 24 hr race in Feb, but then I think, well.... I got 3 months to learn that car and should spend some time in my oreca matmut peugot,

I will get back to you, within 24 hours,

Wish to particapate, need one day to choose between Peugeot/Matmut or AudiR8`01 . koleen/ psn kolden73

[memto89]

Hey all, if you havent added me yet for the race then please do soon

 

[TDZdave]

I'm not 100% certain that I can make it bud,

 

[jonnyb1990]

Any news yet TDZdave?

 

[TDZdave]

just shot you and memto the FR's, I'm going with the 908 MATMUT peugot, not 100% if I can make it,

 

[jonnyb1990]

Lobby will be open for testing a bit later on today. Don't worry if you can't be sure dave, we'll just see you there on the day or not

 

[TDZdave]

I will PM you over PSN if I cant make it,

actually, upon review, I can and should make the event, but I have overlap with another race, so I may have to leave early,

 

[memto89]

There will be an official practice time tonight at 19:00 GMT if anyone wants to size up the competition: memto89 lounge

 

[TDZdave]

I'm running 3.34s in the MATMUT, I dare say most of you are faster in LMPs

 

[jonnyb1990]

We seem to have a range. I've found the 908 goes from around a 3.27 to around a 3.35 during a stint. Tbh I think it'll be overall consistency and not making silly mistakes that'll make the difference

 

[TDZdave]

I really have to hustle it to do that, BUT, I will be fastest in the speed traps by 30 KPH+, I'm running very little down force,

also mate, if it starts to look like there are to many LMP's and not enough GT's I will jump ship, most likely run the M3 GTR or GTR 35 Nissan,

 

[jonnyb1990]

It entirely depends on whether everyone turns up. Otherwise we should be fairly balanced. Guess we'll find out on the day

 

[TDZdave]

how many short of a full field are we?

 

[jonnyb1990]

Should be bang on the nose with you

 

[TDZdave]

sweet as, looking forward to it,

 

[TDZdave]

oh what tires we running?

and if I'm feeling keen can I run the Gillet Vertigo at LMP spec?

You can run whatever you fancy. And I'll have to say no, we've never tested the Vertigo at higher pp. Should be plenty of choice without it?
