Motors TV on sky 413 are showing Daytona 24 from 2pm until 9pm

Going back to having the racing line on during the races, is this really needed? I know i'm only a guest and being lucky to be the last spot left but GT5 is a driving sim and they dont have a racing line in real life.
Ive held a number of 4 hour endurance races, including at the 'ring 24 and Le Mans and when you get into night racing having a big blue line in the middle of the track is a big help. Surely we are all mature races that we don't need the easiest of aids on.

Looking at getting your opinion on this, as I said before it's not my room so if its stays on then it stays on but just seems a shame to ruin a great race
 
We have done the issue on the other championships I run so I wont be participating in the 'discussion'. It was requested and I like the DL so I allowed it, TCS was requested annd I allowed it.
Did you pick your cars yet?
 
ok thanks for the reply, Im still testing for the Le Mans and the 'ring race but will let you know asap.

also are you expecting everyone to stay to the end of the race? I found then when hosting a endurance race, there was always a full room to start with but by the end only about 6-7 would actually finish it. Such a shame as I love endurance racing, even go to the 'ring and Le Mans every year
 
I thought I'd let you guys know that in March I'll be running a short series to bridge the gap between IndyCar S1 and 2. It will be based on the European Le Mans Series with an LMP1 and LMP2 class. Two 250 mile races and two 300km races held on Friday nights a couple of hours earlier than IndyCar would normally be.

I'll let you guys know when I put a thread up as it'd be great to have some of you guys there :cheers:

This is why I am allowing more than the original 10 drivers, I have my suspicions that 2 people will quit (rage/poor character) and a couple may not turn up so I guess we will have 8-9 finishers. I know a lot of the guys from the FGTC, Indycar and 90's DTM and can vouch for (most) of them :lol:

Give us the link when available, sounds good 👍

Loskey- Can you run the Epson NSX? (they are all available from the NCD)

yeh ill run the espon nsx, for the 'ring ill use the 458, can you confirm the pp limit, still testing on the le mans car
 
We are getting closer :lol:
Ok- I got the Epson NSX so far, the Italia is taken so you have to pick from whats left on the list or come up with a suggestion of a new one 👍

Left on list
McLaren MP4 615pp
SLR 625pp
 
I would have to drive it to check but probably 615 unless it doesnt like cornering (compared to the McLaren for example)

Sandman- Was it the ARTA you wanted? (for guessing the initials) I cant remember what we settled on.

New series of Top Gear starts tonight at 8 & Essex at 10. Also theres a cool Afghanistan war doc on FIVE tomorrow at 8 and Skins at 10. Good TV lads.

Brighton beat Newcastle 1 nil at home. Now we got Liverpool away in next round! We're gonna win the FA cup!
 
I got the Afgan documentary on reminder and top gear on to record 👍 good luck against liverpool :(
 
If I can make the GT race at the ring can I change cars? I have a couple in mind but I'm not sure how they will fare against the others, I can test them tonight if people are on
 
I thought you couldnt make that one dude?
Suggest the cars to me before you spend any time testing them as they have to be.
1. Supercar
2. Not considered a 'cheat' car
3. Not AWD unless approved (e.g the Lambo)

I might be able to finish an hour early from work, not sure yet.
And the Jaguar XJ220, reaches 603pp without an oil change, don't know how much that is worth though.
The ferrari 599
Volkswagen nardo

I will be there at half 7 but I will be absent for an hour due to top gear :D
 
Ferrari 599 is acceptable as would be the Enzo, the XJ220 would also be fine. I would have to try the Nardo before confirming.
 
Dont worry ill be on GT5 till 1030pm so you will get some racing (just record it then watch it another time) 👍
 
Record it? Last time we recorded anything we used a tape :D what do you think re-runs are for? :) it doesnt matter too much anyway lol, will still have over a couple of hours racing afterwards.
 
Ah yes as pagey said the Waldo :D Do not have it though. Never have enough when it pops up :lol:
 
My advice would be get a LED HD television, you pay more but the picture is amazing. But be warned about Sony bravias, that's what I have and the damn thing turns off if I don't move :lol: so you have to do a funny dance waving your arms around to let it know you haven't died watching the Tele.
I've had a few heart stopping moments in the FGTC when that has happened back when I was on the controller, a box appears saying its going to turn off so I have to abandon it and press a button on the doofer :lol:
Even so its an amazing Tele, it has the internet as well.
 
Do you get that weird streaking effect with fast moving objects on an LCD? or is that plasma?
:lol: ill be careful not to get one that needs you to prove you are still alive :D

Did you decide on a supercar in the end?
