The test lobby has been opened in the Community club. I recommend as many of you who can to show up and see what the server conditions are like. Feel free to bring a 400PP car along too.

How long will the lobby be open for? I still have dinner to get out of the way, so I can't join all you right away...

It'll probably be around for some time. I might not always be not afk, though.
Also, FYI, I find that the maximum pit entry speed the game will let you get away with is ~200 km/h or ~124 mph

..and the lobby is closed! We may have only been 5 total people, but things went smoothly enough for me to say the race will be held in the relevant club event (has been fixed).
TL;DR for people not there:
The Rocket and MG may be at the top of the 500PP class, but The Mighty V12 has enough torque to cause a small earthquake. Also the proposed 400PP formula might get its own mini-series as a form of warmup for future events.

That said, if there's any stragglers who want to drive some more, I just put a room up about 10 seconds ago in the club.

It's also heavy enough to smash a Rocket's face in and somehow not distort the steering that badly, surprisingly enough. How do I know this?
Don't ask.
I like that, although I'm sure it could also make for a nice mini-championship of about 2 to 4 sprint races or something of the sort. It would give me the perfect opportunity to make the greatest Pontiac racing car of all time, if anything...

That's basically what I was thinking. Essentially as a sort of support series for the main endurance races.
We might've run on RS, but me and @epic_apri_39 did a short test race and spent about 80% of the time within two car lengths of eachother. With a Fiat Coupe and a Alpine A310.

I can't believe I've gone for almost 3 years playing this game not realising how fun 400pp racing is - it's just absurd.

I'm interested in the 400pp cars
What lap imes were you running?

I didn't actually notice. Considering the Fiat was actually slightly faster around some bends than The Mighty V12 House, I'd be tempted to say around 1:35?

That's the sort of times the Alpine was running offline

Just a tiny reminder there's only about 8 hours until the qualifying lobby should be open - who's excited to finally get this underway?

I'm wishing that the work day goes quickly so I can race.
I'f I'm luck a friend of mine will drive me home, and I might get a few minutes earlier.
its just getting home, washing feet, and sit in front of the monitor, So i don't kill my wife while i play barefooted :v
And Indeed 400-450PP racing is absolutely fun

Got it.
We've had "Post Your Machine", so now I think it's time for "Post Your Gaming Rig". Here's mine:
..and yes, that is my laptop on a chair with an off-screen Elgato connected to it. In other words, streaming is a go. Not sure how you people's microphone (those lines are open, y'know) sound levels are going to be, but we'll see.

Well my "rig" is a Playstation next to a Sanyo LCD TV, and a couch with a chaise-longue attached to it, not much more to it than that. Simple, but not exactly top-of-the-line-and-million-dollar cutting edge technology...
As for the microphone, I have yet to test mine on a PS3 device; I had to purchase a new Prif wireless headset because my old one's holding arm deteriorated and broke by itself. I was meant to test it last night but I ended up not doing so... Hopefully the sound volume isn't too nasty (much like the background echo).

I won't be using my mic because it's distracting.

Here's my setup - as for microphone I have a few so I'll have to run through each.

A three-mic strategy, you reckon?
