Sounds interesting, add ADR_BRONCO
What time will this race happen?

 

[Big-_-t0ny]

The cast + practise and qualifying will start at 4pm GMT.

 

[Mac K]

10:30 AM Eastern time? I'm off that day, so hopefully I can make it. Are any cars allowed up to 500PP? Or are there more restrictions?

PSN: macospet1

 

[Big-_-t0ny]

Road cars only!

 

[Dragonwar233]

No I won't be available until 2 pm est that day. So I don't think I can make it.

 

[Big-_-t0ny]

Alright, taken off of the list.

 

[LukaX23]

Dragon, if anything changes and it turns out you can - send me a message on Skype or the PSN. Both my Skype and PSN usernames are 'LukaX23'.

 

[optiongamers]

probarly not i hated 9 hours race

 

[Dragonwar233]

I really want to attend this so I'm going to try to leave early if I can. I'll keep you posted but at this moment you can count me as a reserve.

 

[Big-_-t0ny]

Optiongamers this race will only last for about an hour.

 

[optiongamers]

not sure because the time is different in the UK by 4 hours i think

 

[Big-_-t0ny]

Everyone should be in the lobby at 10:30AM US Eastern which is 3:30PM GMT (UK time).

 

[optiongamers]

no i wont make it

 

[Mac K]

I'm going with my 370Z, it's mild enough to last 50 laps, but corners well and has lots of speed, it also doesn't chew through tires.

 

[Big-_-t0ny]

Nice car, I think a 4WD would be a good choice for beginners due to the acceleration and the even tyre wear.

 

[LukaX23]

I'm going with the Infiniti G35 Coupe '06. Perfect for me on this particular circuit.

 

[Mac K]

Any more interest in this?

 

[Dragonwar233]

If the race was like 4 hours later I could attend.

 

[Big-_-t0ny]

Hopefully. We already have a viewerbase of at least 50 viewers, so on the event there will be many people able to fill extra spaces.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Why must all these be during the week?

 

[MaX Iceman]

I really want to attend this so sign me up please. I'm from Norway and this time fit me perfectly, this is just a cuple hours after I'm done at work :-)

My PSN is in my signature.

 

[LukaX23]

I've been working on a video that highlights some of the key moments in our last event. A 20 lap race on Circuit de la Sarthe in Le Mans Race Cars. Was loads of fun. The video should be on here by tomorrow. =)

 

[Mac K]

Should everyone state which car they'll be using? I think it would give you guys a better idea of the field of cars expected to be in attendance.

 

[LukaX23]

You can if you'd like, but it's not absolutely necessary. If we do something more serious, like a 4 hour endurance race - we'll definitely require a listing of the driver cars.

Fair enough, I'm looking forward to the race.

 

[Big-_-t0ny]

The race will be great fun! Hopefully the event after can be on Bathurst, if the latest article on GTP turns out to be true.

 

[Mac K]

Is it possible for me to sign up a friend who isn't a member on here? He drives fairly clean and hates cheating, dirty driving etc. Thanks guys, see you Friday.

 

[Big-_-t0ny]

As long as he knows the times and the rules, sure!

 

[Mac K]

Sounds good, thanks! . His PSN is Camarodadss and he'll most likely be in a 370 Z as well, he'll be my "faux teammate".
