Have been >.<. I watched you in Peugeot and did best to match your speed. To be honest I think its not that I can't drive that fast, its that, in all honestly I am trying too much. No breaks X_X

Will have a pop round in the Scirocco at some point to see what's what.
 
I tried Brands on Sunday and was doing okay, a bit slow (35's) but reasonably clean. I gave it another go yesterday and I was all over the place and couldn't get a fast clean lap, my best was a 36.1xx. I have no idea if it was me or the track trolling me.

Rolo, what time of day is the track going to be set at for Thursdays racing? Just wondered if the game really is changing the grip level based on time/temp.

EDIT// Wrong thread really. Doh!

Right, so after discussion let me clarify the deal as it stands (subject to further discussions)...

You will get 1 championship point for BTCC-8 for each pre-season race that you complete. I'll be fair to DC'ers in pre-season and award the point if they complete at least half of the race distance. Rage quitters get no points. These points are awarded before the season proper begins and therefore they cannot be dropped.

Only the first 16 drivers to enter the lounge will be allowed to race. Too late? Too bad.

There will be 9 pre-season races, over 3 weeks. 3 races a week.
  • 1st May:
    • Tokyo R246 (TBA Laps & Pit Window)
    • Indy Road Course (12 Laps, Pit 5 - 9)
    • Apricot Hill (TBA Laps & Pit Window)
  • 8th May:
    • Grand Valley Speedway (10 Laps, Pit 3 - 7)
    • Willow: Big Willow (15 Laps, Pit 6 - 10)
    • Brands Hatch Indy (25 Laps, Pit 10 - 17)
  • 15th May:
    • Silverstone International (17 Laps, Pit 7 - 11)
    • Nurburgring GP/D (13 Laps, Pit 5 - 9)
    • Nurburgring Nordschleife (3 Laps, Pit 1 or 2)
Race results are not important. You will only get one point for participating to a sufficient level. Therefore there will be no qualifying - grids will be random. There will be 10-minutes practice (or more in the case of Nurb) for each track to acclimatise.
  • Usual driving standards are expected, so stay clean please. No stewarding or penalties pre-season, but use your common sense.
Car selection and Tuning.

Drive what you like from the car list. Change it up as much as you want, but run every car to its correct spec (unless asked otherwise). However, it is recommended that all cars are fairly represented in pre-season to help car development. If a car hasn't been run much, it's a good idea to run it.

Please do not run massively tuned-up cars. Minimal tuning is acceptable, but please try to keep it simple for now. If you can gain time with more tuning, then that will be obvious anyway without having to actually do it yet.

I cannot be there the first because I will be moving back home from school (Yay!). I might be there the other 2 though. Looks like I will have to qualify in and be sitting a couple points down before the season even starts.

Probably not, it didn't really generate the interest I expected. Feel free to have a bit of fun anyway for bragging rights amongst us lot.

You won't need to qualify in. Top 10 locked-in positions for Round 1 are based on BTCC-7 championship results not pre-season points, and that means you're alright.

Am using it to learn s1 of brands, am rank 265 atm 1:03.466 :P
 
I would like to do GT Academy but honestly I'm too lazy and probably too old to pursue a serious racing career.

I think I could do well in it if i did put my 100% into it .

Coming online now too.

I am lucky I am 17, 6ft2 108pounds :P so I still got the chance ;)
 
21, 6'1", roughly 185lbs, had driving license for 3 years. With practice I might make it by 2027. Until then, I stand no chance.

Everybody has chances. I weight more than 270 lbs but I'm willing not only to be an racing driver but to collect every single car on GT6.
