CLOSED SERIES

[AGNT009]

Hardy's weight requirements do force you to tweak stuff you found online. As Ive done. In a good faith sportsmanship gesture, for those who havnt found something they like, if you search for a seasonal event featuring the Formula car, you can find a few good setups there in one GTPlanet thread. I picked the one I liked the best, adjusted it for the weight requirements, and adjusted the transmission for tracks, and Ive got a decent base setup that I like and will be using for all the races with minor tweaks as necessary. I agree with Redbullrider, Id rather the field be close with mostly good setups, then lap several cars like they were AI because their tunes were way off and they didnt have tuning help.

REMINDER: 10 days until Media Day for the 2014 Indianapolis 500

Can we get a clear description of media day? And what do you guys mean by "pictures".

Media Day will be where the official entry list will be revealed, as well as where interviews will take place for our deviantART, Facebook, and Twitter accounts. Everyone attending will be asked to participate in a five lap Indy formation for grid pictures, as well as solo picture shots.

Will the Safety Car driver get a segment?

If you feel like attending, yes.

Do we have to match racing suit and racing helmet to match ours car color.

Not necessary, but it looks like a few teams are planning along that line

 

[NearCptNitro]

Defiantly bringing the classic red suit, but maybe I should look into changing the helmet. Which color I have no clue, I might just have you all take a pole and decide my suit who knows! XD

 

[Eva]

REMINDER: Media Day is this Sunday. I will not be in attendance because 1) I am going to learn my child's gender, and 2) I hate interviews.

and 2) I hate interviews.

Kimi Raikonen would be proud of you.

Now that I'm back, I can address the tuning issue with the following statement: We aren't looking for close racing, we want skilled racing. I understand the desire for privacy and should be able to address it soon, but if we seriously wanted a close rubber band racing series, we would just race NASCAR at SSRX for a few races and call it a season.

REMINDER: Media Day is Sunday. Hardy is hosting it as an open event, but I advise everyone to join the club in GTCommunity as no other events will be held in this fashion.

Great pictures @redbullrider20

 

[Eva]

Great FP1 in terms of the R&D done by Black Rose Racing Team, Swift Autosport, USA Motorsport, and Cherokee Motorsports. Ironically, despite the fact I completely despise him, I'm glad to see Hardy's team is up and running. We need teams like his. Could be underdogs.

 

[Spirit]

I see my name is under the BRRT banner. Only as long as I'm able to make all of the required qualifying sessions can I race for you @BRRT_Angel. Also, I'd much rather you find another SC driver before you throw me in a IndyCar.
