500pp Club. Closed

[CTR Driver]

Sure thing. I'm going to try and run the event through the R/500 Arena. The link should take you to it. If you can join there as well please. See you Saturday.

Hi guys,

would like to join if ok.

Joined the club and entered the event.

This event is a "No tuning allowed" event, right?

Also, the OP says "Grid: Slowest first" wouldn't that makes everyone sandbag their qualifying lap?

This has always been a gentleman's racing club, people who believe they should cheat the system in such fashion should rethink their participation

Will the race be in the Private or Club lounge?

As third Reign has said there is the possibility people can "sandbag" but as yet no one has.

I'm opening the room in the community section to see how it goes. If there are issues we may resort to moving to a traditional lounge. I hope to have it up and running in a few minutes

:EDIT: Room open

Track: Apricot Hill Reverse

Awesomesauce. I will put the event together when I next get on.

This will be a normal 500pp event.

 

[CTR Driver]

Apricot Hill Reverse has now been created. I hope to see you there February 14th.

 

[Goodwolf]

I'll bring some chocolate.

How does moving the proposed March 7th race forward the February 28th appeal to everyone?

I am asking because it will clash with a scheduled GTP endurance series race on that day.

Can I sign up?

Certainly. Clicking the "Apricot Hill Reverse" on your Internet enabled device "should" take you to the event.
If that doesn't work, The club ID number is, 1025152.
And if all else fails send a friend request to GC255. Though it is less necessary since the advent of the community features.

 

[megg230]

If there is room for another gary i'll do feb. 14th.

It's a date

 

[Third Reign]

And just another PSA, please don't bring your fastest 500pp car. Constantly seeing a evora/NSX/Shelby gets old quickly and pushes others to use their fast cars.

My taming project of the BTR '86 is coming along slowly, but will not be ready for this race. I'll opt for a Z4 M coupe this time around (unless its 2s off the usual pace of my equally skilled opponents).

 

[CTR Driver]

I've adjusted the date for race #3. It is now February 28th. I have also added the long awaited Club Vs Club event with our friends from Ready or Not Racing.

 

[Cobani]

Next race this saturday! Looking forward to it.

 

[weescotman]

Erm kinda forgot all about this one, not to worry tho I'll have something ready for sat night, didn't even remember what track it was until I was told last night. Ooops

 

[CTR Driver]

I'm kinda under prepared myself I had intended to try a new car. We'll see if I manage it. Otherwise, S2000 it is....

 

[gkgamer]

is there a list of forbidden cars somewhere?
I guess that the FD I used back in Monza is now ineligible, right?

 

[weescotman]

As far as I know the ktm is probably the only banned car, although I'm sure gc will inform us of any others. As for the car you use, we try and change cars so we don't run the same car but it isn't needed if you want to run the car you're comfortable in.

It's only forbidden if you won the last race with it. We've had a few races since Monza and it was the start of a new cycle with Tokyo. So it's pretty much fair game on any road car.

Question for you all.
How many, if at all, cars that are 500pp club eligible have stock downforce?

I've found the Nissan Skyline GT-R (I forget the specific model) does. So that's one.

Well actually that was my point, the Mazda RX-7 Spirit R type A (FD) I used at Monza has a built-in adjustable rear spoiler. I removed it though...

 

[CTR Driver]

Interesting. Does anyone know if it provides an advantage? Seeing as I've only just become aware there are cars like this with downforce.

 

[megg230]

Having front downforce is an advantage, i think. I haven't found any road cars that have front downforce as standard (yet), but quite a few with rear DF as stock. If it doesn't have front DF, the rear wing gets turned to 0 pretty quickly and certainly with ff, i think it is cosmetic.

 

[gkgamer]

just set a practice lobby in the club event

 

[JockeP22]

Can I sign up?

So, see you tomorrow then.
My debut in this Club.

I'm visiting a museum with the family during the day but should be back well in time.
Qualifying starts 8:30pm GMT, right?
