FIA GT1 Blancpain Irl Season 2 | We Have 10 Sign Ups for the Rolex 24Hrs of Daytona!!!

[JoRdY105]

Nope. Only if I'm going too fast for the corner.
Im finding corner after the u turn the hardest. The corkscrew is fairly easy.

Which one is that?

I'm having trouble with a couple of braking points but gonna lay down a heap of laps tonight

 

[Pluxtheduck]

What time you running from?

 

[JoRdY105]

What time you running from?

Ahh probably be about 2 hours. I'm still out at the moment. Not to sure what time that would work out to be for you??

The U turn corner? The first corner that looks like a U turn

I dunno what you call it. I always end up going into it too fast, and accelerating out of it even faster

I've found out, if I go into it at 70mph it's too fast. (Good speed is about 60-65) while on exit, I can sped up until I've finished turning.

Oh as in the first two corners? Your tricky one that one, especially in a pack!

 

[Pluxtheduck]

Anyone online now?

 

[Willfred_1]

yes

 

[Pluxtheduck]

Which room you in?

 

[Willfred_1]

Joes

 

[JoRdY105]

Joes

Be there in 15!!

 

[Pluxtheduck]

Got the Ford into the 1.20s

 

[JoRdY105]

Got the Ford into the 1.20s

Well done!! I'll try and beat it in a second!

 

[freshseth83]

Got a good setup now. I might be able to start up front going by the times others are claiming.

 

[RichyB28]

is anybody doing any practice tonight? (24hours before race start tomorrow)

I havnt ever done a race with a pace lap and rollin start before, so I would like to do 1 or 2 short races to practice it. I'll join joe's lounge in about 2 hours if no reply on here, or message me and i'll join if anyones doing some

EDIT: I meant 48hours before race start doh. maybe tomorrow then if any of you guys are not racing in any other series. theres nothing in the op about practice, I do like to do a bit of competitive practice before any GTP events I race in. do you guys usually do any group practice/short races before the main race?

I didn't sign up till Wednesday so probably missed your main practice sessions for this round

 

[Willfred_1]

what times have people run in an audi as it seems really slow despite feeling good now i've sorted the skidding

 

[freshseth83]

1:20.5 for the Audi on lap 3 for me.

 

[JoRdY105]

1:20.5 for the Audi on lap 3 for me.

I've gone 1:20.7 so yeah it's not bad

 

[joetruckv8]

I'm so excited for this race, and the next short course at Monaco. Btw Jordy I really appreciate that signature my man! 👍 To me this is the best racing we can create; I guess I'm an endurance guy no shame there. I think the race calender is looking good too but I got to add Motegi, I left that 1 out by mistake.

Too easy boss! Such an exciting series! Just hoping I'm not just lucky on Laguna and I an keep up through the series!
First proper racing I've actually done on gt5!

 

[TylerJDallas]

+1 for motegi.

 

[freshseth83]

Motegi is great. One of my favorites.

 

[joetruckv8]

Motegi is great. One of my favorites.

Yea I thought of you when I put it on there. I haven't driven it with the wheel yet. Very excited!

Btw I moved Blancpain over to the series side, but there are still no immediate commitment's from drivers to this series and the sign ups remain open until we get a solid 16 drivers. Once we do then we'll lock it in and fight to the end! 👍

 

[TDZdave]

Don't want to steal your thunder Joe,

But I think 10 consistent driver's to the series should be the aim, which we already have 10-12 who show almost every round, make a series based on that, we will pick up more customers as the season progresses,

 

[Willfred_1]

1:20.5 for the Audi on lap 3 for me.

Oh i'm struggling to get into the 21s the car feels really good the gearings bang on and i know my lines are good.

aim for 10 -12 we had close racing at monza all through the race so if we can keep that consistently it will do well
Would it be good idea to create a car pool for new guys so either share or dupe cars for people as i only have two of the cars in the series

Yeah I'm definitely going with the Audi, I couldn't get the ford to go nearly as well as it, I got too much wheel spin!

Good to have you with us. Make sure you read all the info on the OP for the race. Joe is kart racing today. Hopefully later he can get you on the list of drivers. Make sure you do some practice.

 

[memto89]

he is part of my crew so we made sure he read everything

 

[freshseth83]

Going to be a good one tomorrow. My Nissan is strong here.
