GTCrash classification you mean? Just like LMPCrash class

 

[Tower Turn 13]

The R18s or Extreme Speed Motorsport Ferraris certainly haven't caused any wrecks, huh?

 

[Stavelot]

Atleast they look better than...ugh...Porsches...(damn beetles...)

haha now I see where your hatred arises from. I'll be sure to try and pass you in one

Also what did you think of Jav's LMP2 idea?

 

[Stavelot]

My hatred arises from watching so many of those dreaded things buzz around for 24 Hours for the last 6 or so years I have attended Spa24....

Newest cars in LMP1, older cars in LMP2? Eh....not a prototype fan.

 

[Cowboys965]

Why LMP2? Aren't all cars in GT5 LMP1s?

By design, I believe you're right. Assuming the Pescarolos are P1 cars (as I recall they are).

These are the technical requirements:

Though they do cite OAK-Pescarolo as an example of a car that could classify for LMP2.

Nuts and bolts aside they just seem to be less-powerful prototypes. Extremely similar to some P1 cars in build design.

When can we kick the series off? And maybe change the thread title to "Recruiting"? And make the Season 3 thread?

And Gatrs, how was the RennSport Reunion?

 

[Tower Turn 13]

yeah I'm ready to get this series back on the track. 👍

And Sparty, are you Kim Jong Il?

 

[rocko100]

Yeah I was bored, look at my entire profile page

I meant to say it's pretty much copying our series, just that what he wants, and you made a double post.

 

[Tower Turn 13]

Oh well. At least he gets his GT-R.

If he directly copies our car specs then we all might be a little sore. Though from what it looks like on the OP the cars will be a bit unequal in performance.

 

[Cowboys965]

Yea, and stealing our participants in the process?

I was thinking that would be bad, but he didn't, and he really doesn't have a good car leveling system, each GT car is the same HP and Weight, so the most downforce efficient car will dominate

 

[gogatrs]

I'd only have a problem with it if he used our specs or he was in the same time slot.

 

[Tower Turn 13]

Plus I hardly think that Jav (which is the only name I recognize on the entry list) is going to ditch us completely for the new series. I'll admit it does look like fun but a bit uneven. I think I already have a home, though.

 

[Stavelot]

It is called reading and you've all failed at it...page 6 post 151 is what you are after there

 

[Tower Turn 13]

Sorry, wasn't going to read hundreds of posts on a series I hadn't joined. Figured the OP was sufficient. I'm still confused as to what you're pointing out, though. That you aren't running the series anymore? I mean honestly I could care less if the series exists or not, more power to you/whoever's running it now and those who want to join. Seems fun. I don't have time for multiple series and am thus staying put, but honestly people can do what they want and I wish the series the best, regardless of who's involved.

EDIT: pointing out that my post isn't meant to be facetious, just exactly as it is written is how it's meant. There is no anger behind it.

Testing tonight at the usual time!

I'll try to make it if possible, but have had a fever for like 6 days now so it's hard to do anything for too long. If not everyone have fun.

BTW what is "usual time"? 8-9pm US EST?

It'll probably just be a short race, break, short race, break.
GT cars tonight? Or LMP?

And yes, around 8-9 and we'll probably go to about 12.

 

[Tower Turn 13]

It depends. Are we set on what KINDS of GT cars we're running? Or do you mean GT-E specifically? If so I'd say GT-E.

Jag, BMW, Ferrari, Corvette, RUF, and Ford.
Same specs as last year, but with a 1300 weight limit.

Mitch is going to host at Spa tonight.
And be prepared for a bit of weather change this season...
