Desert Hare IndyCar Night Races (Unofficial T.B.I.C.S. Practice Series)Open

[AGNT009]

***Series Closed for lack of interest*** ~10/7/14

Swift Autosport is hosting this Practice Race series for the 2015 Turtle Beach IndyCar Series Season. The official thread is here:

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/thre...tle-beach-indycar-series-registration.301856/

This practice series is UNSANCTIONED by the TBICS. Participation is voluntary, and open to the official 2015 season roster of drivers, as well as any well behaved driver who wants to join.

I am AGNT009 (You can call me Will), and I was just wanting a practice race series to start practicing the tracks on the official 2015 schedule. I assumed other drivers in the league wanted a chance to shake down their race setups in a decent race against other TBICS teams and drivers before the actual big races.

Swift Autosport will immediately start hosting races weekly on Tue or Wed nights at 9:30 PM Eastern (schedule below), up until the main start of the season in Feb, then we'll run the practice race inbetween the official race weeks. We'll follow the official schedule in order, then reset to the start of the schedule in Feb 2015 and race the upcoming official track the Tue or Wed prior.

Standard race format (No pace cars or yellow flags like the official races will have)
NO POINTS RACES
Formula Gran Turismo Car ONLY
ABS Set to 1, no other assists allowed
Power reduced to 700 HP max
700 kg REQUIRED weight
(TBICS drivers, use your official team car colors when you have them, but car color will not be enforced since the series is open to the public as well if they show)

All Races will start at 9:30 PM ET, room will open no sooner than 5 min before, first come first serve.
15 minutes of practice time, then laps set for a 45 min race, 1 HOUR total commitment.
No races weeks of Thanksgiving or Christmas

Room ID number will be posted every week right after room opens, so check thread to get in

Races will go on even if theres just 2 of us, because I still want long run practice against a human competitor.

TBICS drivers, if you plan on showing up for tomorrow's scheduled race, Wed at 9:30 pm ET, please post in this thread. If I see no posted commitments before 9:25 pm tomorrow night, race will be canceled and I will continue watching my SF Giants playoff game.

Updated OP. Since no TBICS teams showed interest, Im closing this practice night league. If teams see this and enough want me to start it up, I'll rehost it.
