I hope they get some kinks worked out because they were 20 seconds off the pace at LeMans practice this weekend. Maybe that hybrid system wasn't working or something.

Not sure if any of you guys would be interested in taking this survey. It's a fairly long and intricate survey for the improvement of Formula 1 from the drivers association. If you do take it make sure you read carefully what your are strongly agreeing with or disagreeing with. They asked what you think the future of F1 should look like and the first picture was of the X1/RedBull Jr. I thought that was cool.

You might think about posting that in the F1 thread on this site, so more of the members can voice their opinions.

 

[rap129]

Wish NASCAR would have one of those... Not like they'd listen anyway though.

 

[Sassafrass_3]

Maybe they will, F1 has already said the response has been massive.

Mr. Bowtie weren't you just talking about the life expectancy of Silverado fuel pumps? Mine has decided life is a fruitless endeavor; to say goodbye to our world. I understand this but couldn't this happen on the correct side of my county?

Finally! Truex Jr. gets it done.

Truex Jr. Won the race. Now he need to win a champion with 78 team.

"He just 🤬 ran out of talent!" -Ryan Newman 2015

So I was just looking around google for picture for a science project I'm doing, and I found something...

This looks like it would be fun! A bunch of race modified volkswagon beetles racing at Silverstone.
Maybe you guys could organize a one off race with something similar to this. just a suggestion...

Edit: Also, I was thinking that before the IROC series starts, we get everyone back together for an ARS Indy Lights Series exhibition race on the 24hr Nurburgring track or Apricot Hill! Again, just another suggestion... I would love to get out my RB Junior one more time... What do you guys think?

We were actually planning on doing a two class race at LeMans this weekend. Testing is not done so I guess that won't be happening. I think we should do Daytona and LeMans every year coinciding with the real event. And the Indy 500 with FGT's. I'm not sure we could draw enough interest from outside the group let alone from within the group to have a semi full field.
I still want to do a LeMans race so if anyone would be interested in that please say so. Maybe we could just use Super GT cars for the GT class. We do have the prototype class figured out already.

 

[rap129]

Been saying that for yearssssss mate

 

[Sassafrass_3]

Ive been saying it for a long time as well but I don't wanna run a race with 7 people, 3 prototypes and 4 GT's. I want a pretty full field and I don't want people rage quitting. That's a tall order.

 

[Dylan]

I'm going to try and watch the live stream of the race, but I'd be willing to participate if I can secure the time. I've always wanted to do a multiclass race! I did one once with gt500 and gt300 cars at deepforest, but it wasn't organized very well.

 

[aceboy127]

We will do a Le Mans endurance race, maybe not until our series, but we will do it. Right now in terms of readiness I would say the LMP1 class is 95% ready, the LMP2 class is 70% ready, and the GT class is 50% ready. We will try to achieve a BOP in these classes and will reveal more details later on. I know me and Sass are very excited and cannot wait to reveal our findings to everyone, but it will be ready soon enough. For now I do believe we need to turn our focus towards a series that will be having it's preseason race a week from Sunday.

 

[Sassafrass_3]

So is LeMans starting at 6am eastern on Fox sports 1? That's what I'm reading but my guide says stupid soccer is on.

Edit: Ok, it only took an hour and fifteen minutes to find but here is a live stream of the broadcast http://www.racedepartment.com/live-stream/

Ive got 9 tabs open across the top of my monitor. Fox Sports go, Nismo live stream, radio lemans, FIA live timing, etc. The link I shared does included commercials and standard definition. Either way, Fox Sports can go F itself. I got up at 5:30am to find out I can't watch this race. Thank you Racedepartment!

If anyone is sick of seeing horrible interviews with Keslowski, Indycar is about start in the rain @ Toronto on NBCSports

Guess who is meeting their favorite NASCAR driver August 1st 1 on 1?

How the heck did you manage that?

 

[rap129]

Well, I'm part of his fan club (Have been since...2010ish) and they had a meet and greet in Richmond for the first time! Only problem, the September race. As some may know, I'm part of the Drumline and refuse to miss any events (21 people in the Drumline this year!!! 6 bass drums!! Most bands as a whole around here don't even have 20 people!) So luckily Pocono had a date, and boom. Step 2, what should I get him to sign

For sure this, 2013 Richmond Win when, of course, I was there

 

[Alan2134]

I got fews series in my mind. You guys can do.
1. F1 seires with Formula GT
2. Indycar series with Formula GT
3. Go-kart series with go-Kart
4. Le Mans series with prototype cars
5. Gt300/ gt500 series with gt300 cars and gt500 cars

 

[Sassafrass_3]

We are working on a LeMans series right now. Testing is at about 60%. Multi class prototypes and GT together. If anyone is interested in helping us with testing, please let us know. We'll let you know what cars to buy.

Just thought I'd share this video from Reiza Studios about their upcoming content. V8 supercars, Trophy Trucks, Rally Cross? Wow. Also pause it at :30 and check those out! They already have Brazilian touring cars, multiple F1 cars, karts, and Formula Trucks. Super cheap games and the best physics and sound in the business. And a huge modding community.

 

[Sassafrass_3]

Indycar about to start on NBCS. New aero package has these guys running 2 and 3 wide. Might be really good.

 

[rap129]

I would like to request a name for a race next season. I'd like to have a race named either The Barrack Obama XXX or The Kardashians XXX

 

[rap129]

I was kinda thinking something like the first picture for Obama and like Twin 72 lap races because that's how long Kim's first marriage lasted​

 

[Sassafrass_3]

Ohhhh k. You're young and weird. You shouldn't know anything about the length of Kims wedding.

Got up very early this morning to turn some laps on Race Room Experience. They had a 50% off everything sale last weekend so I bought the Daytona Prototype and Sonoma Raceway for like $8. Two things I've wanted forever. Plug my DFGT in and it is not being recognized. Center lights is on, I can feel force feedback tension in the wheel. I download new drivers, logitech profiler, plug my USB directly into the motherboard, new logitech gaming software...nothing. No devices connected. Every time I tried something new I thought "ohhhhh, this will fix it, of course!" Everyone on the google searches for forum/message board help had the same problem as me except these posts were from 2012 or earlier. I was just playing Stock Car Extreme less than a month ago with zero problems.

You wanna know why people don't do PC gaming? This is why. Never ending problems, drivers, software, etc. "Did you try turning it off then back on again?" "Have you ever been punched square in the teeth?!" My brother is a diehard PC masterrace type dude and we've both been pc gaming our entire life. This kind of garbage is what keeps me console gaming. My efforts this morning took an hour and a half. The first person to say that I just need to buy a new wheel will not be my friend anymore. I am getting a new wheel soon but the doesn't necessarily mean that all my problems will be solved. T300, you're my only hope.
