Agreed. Using total time is a terrible tool to use for competitive door to door racing. For reasons Nova stated above.

I understand we have leagues that use it and that is because of GTSports lack of server space and those leagues having around 24 ppl signed up per race. In those instances there is not much of a choice as everybody is running the same class.

Confirming for the 1st event.

To the drivers tagged above, this is a reminder to confirm your attendance or availability for this Friday's first Event. Please be sure to confirm either way of your status. Duce_LST and Kermit_2142, I tagged you fellas since you guys confirmed tentative, and Kermit_2142, if you are available, you most likely will be needed since 2 race rooms look to be materializing. Thanks to all drivers who have already confirmed and to these remaining drivers for the cooperation and communication.

Would anyone like to do a 20 min practice race one evening this week? I'm happy to host if we can agree on a date/time.

Lets say Tuesday at 8:00 pm tentatively?

I will try to join practice tonight. @Phlano099 has been hounding me on lap times and I haven't ran a single lap yet. Lol. So I need some sort of lap times to make him happy.

 

[RadStewart]

@Fudman420 @Moby45 Give me a heads up in this thread if you think you'll be a bit later. I'm happy to hold off the start time by 10-15 minutes if you guys are close.

I jumped in with @RadStewart this afternoon and sparred for some laps using the Audi at base bop and him at his set bop. We were running low to mid 1:14's avg with my fastest lap a 1:13.6. After a 20 minute race, we were 0.061 margin of victory. TCR should have some awesome racing.

We are wrapping up now so I should be fine on time.

 

[Xradkins]

I'll open a practice session tonight for the WEST coast (or you night owls) between 6-9 pm.

I should be on, closer to 10 pst/1est. Maybe catch you then.

 

[llNovall]

Figured I'd put this here for convenience, but it can also be found in the 2nd post with a time stamp of latest update. This is current and set. Be sure to verify you driver BOP numbers are correct before practicing.

 

[Moby45]

I just got home. Going to eat some dinner. So I might be a little too late for the first practice session

 

[DesertPenguin]

Impromptu stream from one of my favorite streamers so I probably can't make it. No idea how long she'll go for.

 

[RadStewart]

Room is up 10 minutes early, but I am not at my PS4 right now. Just finishing a round of Overwatch and I'll be on.

1:15.xxx average. 1:14.7xx best lap with a help from draft..

If 14's are the average pace then I am not going to have a fun race that's for sure.

Every track is gonna favor different drivers/cars differently over the season, and how much practice is invested. I was putting those times in, but I've had over 200 laps practicing this course over the last 2 months. Remember, the average lap pace is a 0.5 sec range to keep the racing close. Lap consistency and minimal mistakes will be the differences. I'm sure with a little more practice, 3-5 tenths is still there to find which would have you in that 1:14.5-1:15.0 avg lap pace with fast laps in the low 14's, possibly hi 13's.
This series will be all about consistency, minimal mistakes, and the long game for points...scavenging as many points/positions possible as none of them are likely to be easy grabs. Every position will be a battle.
