One sticking point could be the number of European drivers: Do you have any stats on that?

We had a good number of non-North American drivers last season but I don't know of there were enough to make up a whole race. And of course finding a time that they can all meet up is a whole different problem.

I'll keep tabs on the number of European drivers this season and see if I can get this plan ready for the following season.
 
BlackIce90 & dmanaenk, I still need your selection for your primary points night. Basically, just let me know which night you are most likely to regularly attend so I can make sure you get dibs on the room in case it fills up.

Waznz, I'm presuming Friday will be your primary points night since it fits your schedule best? Also, not sure if you noticed but the Saturday time slot has moved back 1 hour in an effort to make it more accessible to the GMT crowd. Does that still work for you?
 
Hey Brandon, even though im in Dubai, just count me in as part of the European Group. The timing isn't a big difference between us.

Man this is getting exciting. Really need to get a few laps with the lads to get a feel of this car in a proper race.

We'll be sticking with the current format for this season but next season might see an expansion to a European division so I'll keep that in mind.

I'll get you registered Booch. BTW, is your buddy BowTieKid interested in running with us? He came out to a practice session one night, was very quick and stated several times that he really enjoyed driving the RM Capp, so if he's interested let him know he's invited. 👍 I don't know if he's on GTP or not though. Also, is there a certain night that you're most likely to attend that you can declare as your primary points night?

Tuesday will be my primary night. I do a lot of travelling on the weekends so i will miss a bunch of friday/saturday races.
 
You're good Chris, I'll get you added to the registry. 👍


The OP of the Cappuccino Cup Season 2 Custom Track Polls has been updated on where and how to download the tracks. All 3 tracks are now shared and will be available for download over the next couple of weeks. After you've had a chance test drive each one a few times place your vote in the polls. I'll keep the polls open for a couple weeks to make sure everyone has a chance to download them and place their vote. I will announce the winning track after Round 2 so there will be 2 weeks to dedicate some practice to the new track.

Yes, I do enjoy the Capp, but I'm not sure how committed I am. I would like to do it, but not sure if I can make every race.

I would like to do the Tuesday series, but I have the Lemons to Lemans series that night also. Let me do some checking and I'll get back too you.

Btw, BTK is easier to type. 👍

EDIT:

Just looked at the times, it will overlap, I reckon lock me down for the Friday race, I should be able to make it on Friday nights, still not sure if I could make every single race.

BTK, just so you understand, if you make any of the races for the week, it will count towards your final points. You don't have to race only one night of the week, Brandon only asks for primary choice just in case the room fills up that night, that way the 'primary's' get dibbs on a spot for the night.
 
Good to have you BTK. And Mudd is correct, you're not obligated to run on the night you declare as your primary. Everyone has 3 chances to race during the week, if they run more than 1 race their best finish counts for their points.

If the room gets full on Friday night and you can't get in, since I know you can probably only make it on Friday's I can ask someone who has already raced that week to sit this one out so you can participate. It only happened once last season but I wanted to have a system in place in case it happened again. This way everyone has declared which night they're most likely to partcipate and if I have to ask someone to leave a race hopefully they won't get too upset. lol

Got you registered. 👍


I will be holding practice races in my private lounge this evening starting around 8pm EDT. There will be open practice sessions followed by short races at several of the Season 2 tracks. If we have enough people we will do a mock-event with qualifying and a half lap count race. If you haven't added me on PSN yet, my ID is BrandonW77.

I have an idea for an improved qualifying system I'd like to try out. Somewhat similar to the multi-group format we used last season but with some changes. The idea: 3 groups of 5 cars and each group gets 6 minutes. I try to select tracks with lap times under 2 minutes so that would give each driver time for their warm up lap and 2 hot laps. With only 5 drivers on the track it should be easier to spread out and get clean laps. If we have a full room of 16 then 1 group would have 6 cars instead of 5. Total qualifying session time should be right around 20 minutes which isn't much longer than the current format.

This proposed format would increase the chances of everyone getting a very clean lap with no traffic but reduce their opportunities to do it which I think could add an exciting element. Groups would be determined by current points standings, so the leaders in points would qualify together, mid-pack drivers would qualify together, etc. Drivers not in the group on track would be able to watch from the lobby to ensure everyone is running clean laps.


Thoughts?

What time is the Friday race
Click to expand...


The normal time will be 10pm EDT for the start of qualifying. I'll be having some tuning sessions and practice races tonight starting a little earlier than that, sometime after 8pm EDT.
 
Hey Brandon, that Qualifying idea is a good one. Maybe we should give it a shot tonight and see how it goes if enough people show up. I will be there. My schedule is just right for the practice. :D

And i can confirm the following dates:

Round 1: Tuesday, July 12th
Round 2: Saturday, July 23rd

See you tonight.

Welcome back Cobra, you're registered. Love the new avatar. 👍
 
For the practice sessions tonight we'll do a few of the tracks from this coming season. Probably start off at Cape Ring South, then Laguna Seca, Autumn Ring Reverse and maybe one of the custom track candidates. Nothing official, just practice all the tracks and do some short 5-6 lap races at each. If we get enough people we can do a qualifying run and a 10 lapper.

My lounge should be open around 8 or 8:30pm EDT (GMT-4).
 
My lounge is open for some Friday Night exhibition practice and racing. Just click above my coffee cup and come on out!

I'll be going away to a anime convention at the end of the month(July 28th - August 1st), so Tuesday night will be my primary points scoring night.
