I guess while I'm doing nothing, I can think up some driver names for my cars huh.

  • B.K. Glover, 26-DFW, TX, USA: Yes, doing this again. It wasn't horrible at LeMans, how bad can it be this time.
  • Red Green, 70-Possum Lake, Ontario, Canada: A far cry from his DD, an old Ram van, we bumped into each other and started talking. By far the senior of the team, this will be his only season as he's already grown weary of travel.
  • Jeff Gordon, 44-Charlotte, NC, USA: Now retired from NASCAR, interest was expressed in sports car racing. Signed for the season, possibly only the one, but we got him instead of Team Jahgee.
  • Samuel Hubinette, 44, Jokkmokk, Lapland, Sweden: The Mad Swede is coming back to tarmac and back to Europe. After years drifting, stunt driving, and struggling in rallycross, Hubi is making a solid attempt and going for broke trying for the LMP Championship.
  • Gunnar Jeannette, 33-West Palm Beach, FL, USA: Not a stranger to endurance racing, he's run sports car series in the US and Europe, and at one point was the youngest driver to finish the LeMans 24.
  • Ryan Cooper, Unknown: The bastard wouldn't even write out any information, but he did bring his parole officer with him to the shop. Current parole session ends in February, so as long as we keep him in check he'll be fine.
  • At age 38, residing in Tampa, FL, USA, he has little racing experience. He is relentless, though, and is at least competent. He wanted to go racing, and is willing to pay his own way just shy of paying for the car (basically travel and board), so we gave him that opportunity. Hopefully his day job doesn't interefere. His name.....is John Cena.

Yes, I am an idiot. No, I do not care. Edited because I forgot to add spoilers as i'd intended.
 
24 Hours of Daytona Poster Released

TRB Motorsports was randomly selected for the poster. WSC would also like to use this as a reminder that practice will be held in just over 2 days. So if you want to send in a new setup now is the time. If not, I will continue to use the last setup you sent me. And I need liveries before the race begins.

Have fun!

@Earth RTCorsa will be missing the first race of the season in order to get everything set up. Because we were brought in so late we haven't had time to finish finidn sponsors and get the cars built. I sincerely apologize for this and we will see you at round 2
 
Yo, can someone make me a simple car? All it needs to be is colored CEFF01 on the body plus whatever designs you as the creator want to make in black
 
Driver Line-up and paint scheme coming soon.

Which car you want this done on?
 
Not surprised considering I didn't submit a setup, though I'm not exactly confident it'll make much of a difference.
 
You mean to tell me that you didn't do anything, and proceeded to beat me still.

I wasn't expecting to beat anyone honestly :lol:

Even, it wasn't by much.
 
After qualifying I'll run a short test with LMP and GT cars and double check everything

Ooo, a multi-class deliciousness test. Hopefully the Prototype drivers aren't utter arses, well and the GT guys too. We don't need anyone from either class doing race ruining.

Oh I've already ran a full 24 hour "stress test", full 48 car multi-class field, with streaming in addition to at least 2 full 24 hour 'offline' (no streaming) tests. The tests after qualifying will feature just one of each car using the pole setup to see if they are equal
 
MODS ARE AWAY
POST QUALIFYING REPORTS

Stefano di Fiorano, Team Director: "Our team did everything we could to qualify well, and the results show! We're really excited to see how the race unfolds."

Frank Monterrey, Chief Engineer: "I admit our aero package was a bit conservative. Amber was really concerned with how the cars were handling the banking, so we decided against pushing it to any extremes. Telemetry was showin' nothing wrong, but I trust the word of my drivers."

Rena Hirose, driver of car #76: "Turns out my reflexes honed from test piloting really paid off! I've adapted to racing cars very quickly thanks to the team's support, so putting in a qualifying lap like this was really satisfying."

Amber Sebringson, driver of car #77: "Even with the practice I've put in, I feel kind of uncomfortable on those high banks. The banked final corner is going to give me nightmares!"
 
Woah, my changes actually worked?! I think this is the first time in FBS/WSC that I've led a session.
