certainly! I will add you to the PM when I send out the server password for Sunday's race!


however, to let you know you will not be eligible for any prizes since you were not able to join at start of season (this was the original founders recommendation to keep out 'vultures' who swoop in take what they can get and leave).

See you in California at LS!

 

[Bill-182]

Yeah no problem. I was probably going to just do Leguna and Silverstone this series. I'm juggling between running a full series of the GTC for credits but my main focus is running the HPD in the ALMS series this season.

But I'll definitly look into doing the full series for the next run.

 

[Patrocles]

Patrick we need to get you to use tradingpaints so you can see all the custom liveries!

Hey, I created an Account at TradingPaints in Sept or October. I just made a new "list" and titled it 'GTPlanet Jetta TDI' and then I searched for pilot names (4 people as of this post) and put their names and Jetta skins into my list.

Pardon my ignorance, but do I need to do something special with the list info before starting the next race?

Thanks!

Not really, as long as they are in your folder you should be good! Just do a quick update on race day and you should be good!

I did some practicing on the course and got lap times of 1:49.xxx
I venture you faster lads will be <1:44.xxx(?)
This track is difficult being so short and twisty that there is little time to rest. One good thing about LS is the wide runoff areas at most curves to prevent one from damaging his car (I'm an expert in running off track!! )

A little dissappointed I didn't win today I definitely had the speed to, but it was hard to pass Bill. Then when I did I got a damn black flagagain. I may have to pull out the Dale Earnhardt mentality of refusing to lose before season ends Congrats to Bill for not letting me have the iRacing credits Probably would've turned them down anyway cause Curtis wasn't in the race.

Oh well. First time I was back on a road course in about a week so I can't be too dissappointed I guess. Been running nothing but the iRacing C class in the trucks lately. Crazy racing in there, but its fun.👍

 

[Patrocles]

points have been updated. Darryl, you have moved into second place of the driver championship!

 

[Patrocles]

why won't we be doing it this Sunday? People should be home Sunday

Yes, we did run the series! Sorry you could not make it!

Hope to see you in two weeks at Mid-Ohio!!

 

[plate88]

Maybe I can get my first win at Mid-Ohio.

I guess you could say it's my home track only being a few hours away.

It would be my home track too in iRacing being only three and a half hours away. I have a bit more experience at Mid-O with the GTC series, but I still haven't mastered it yet.

Silverstone should be fun as the season ender!

dammit I forgot about this again.

with work/school and other video games out I keep forgetting to jump on IRACING.

 

[Patrocles]

so...just a few calcs for the championship...to many variables to examine all of possible outcomes.

For Darryl to win the championship:
If Curtis wins the race then Darryl needs to finish 3rd or higher.
If Curtis places 2nd then Darryl needs to finish 8th or higher.
If Javier wins the race then Darryl needs to finish 8th position or higher.
If Simon wins the race then Darryl needs to finish 16th position or higher.

For Curtis to win the championship:
If Curtis wins the race then Darryl needs to finish 4th position or lower (5th, 6th,etc).
If Javier wins the race then Curtis needs to finish 6th position or higher
