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

[freshseth83]

1:30.9 for me so far. 31s pretty easily.

 

[joetruckv8]

Wow that was fast. So I will pm the next couple of drivers to everyone has a fighting chance.

 

[freshseth83]

Dropped to 1:30.7 with gearing shorter.

 

[TDZdave]

Yes count me in, If we do end up in a situation where 22 can attend, perhaps put the regular's in one room and the one off drivers in the other,

 

[Storm_SP17]

That would be a good idea as far as the season goes, Dave. I don't mind running in Room #2, because my internet has a habit of being rather flaky, thus being a "regular" may not be possible.

 

[TDZdave]

I would usually say split it down the middle and have 11 in each room after a qualifying session, but that wouldn't be fair to a regular driver with the flu or injury like myself and others that may sustain sickness and still try compete in the future, as championship points are at stake,

 

[joetruckv8]

Well at this point I'm closing the sign ups until we seek out more no shows. I rather run 1 room since if you get bumped to room 2 you can't make a charge back thru the 1st rooms time the pack. But a better way to spin this would be the top 16 get dibs on room 1 and if 10 more people show up then stuff them in room 2 and they have their own championship fight. I don't qualify as good as my race pace is so getting bumped into room 2 could hurt me bad. But I always make up spots under race conitions.

 

[Storm_SP17]

Are we pretty much locked into our car choices now? Or is there still time to mill around with others?

I would suggest we run it like this
if at the end when you got to the replays one from each group take a picture of there time it takes to complete and if they don't we list the number of laps
we then put everyone's time into a sheet and sort in time order those that do not complete i will message them to determine the corner the went through last and who was in front with everyone on list sorted we can then hand out points
i am happy to do this

Count me in! I haven't been able to get on for about 12 hours and all this happens! Haha
Great series Joe and great racing everyone! Such an enjoyable first series for me!

 

[polarbear345]

Joe, is this the new thread??? I think I've missed something here...

This is the new Blancipain thread?

 

[Storm_SP17]

Hi Polar!!! I thought you'd have been lurking, I guess you didn't realise this was up or something....

 

[polarbear345]

Hi Polar!!! I thought you'd have been lurking, I guess you didn't realise this was up or something....

I was still waiting for updates on the other thread, like a link or something.

Seems like I've found my way though!

Hurry up and sign up, I'm closing sign ups! Don't forget to sign the sign up sheet too. 👍

Isn't this the same as the other series?

 

[Pluxtheduck]

Not exactly... The other series was a sprint series... This is the enduro series which has proved more popular

Alright, I see that now.

How long was Laguna Seca?

 

[Pluxtheduck]

250km

 

[polarbear345]

250km

I mean time wise; 2 hours?

 

[Pluxtheduck]

About an hour and a half

 

[joetruckv8]

Yea were setting the races out 1.5hrs and the drivers love it is the best part. There are a lot of #'s to crunch tho so good thing its bi weekly.

Good, ill be in my zr1 rm.

Question though, in the sprint series you had me running the Z06 rm spec. Will that apply here too?

 

[freshseth83]

Would been shorter but I wanted to try for a faster lap at the end, so I pit. I was surprised to have 50 seconds of a lead. Guess the others were fighting hard.

 

[TylerJDallas]

Agreed. I kind of like the ability to move freely in cars for this season if possible.

May be a new guy thing since I'm building (rebuilding) my garage.

The Zr 1 is at 1210kg, but I haven't seen vettes get to the front yet so I'm open to running it at 1200kg. It would help me reg before race quicker.

That's excatly what happen I was running 23's for the whole 1st stint because of the fighting on track. Sure its going to happen again so I hope I can qualify higher up the grid this time.

 

[freshseth83]

Qualifying is probably more important here than any other track.

Definitely!

How about we have the regulars in room 1, and the winner of room 2 gets first option to jump up to room one when someone can't make it,

I would suggest we run it like this
if at the end when you got to the replays one from each group take a picture of there time it takes to complete and if they don't we list the number of laps

Fantastic idea but it doesn't work sadly, it would be unfair to have a room 1 driver lose out to a room 2 driver through pacing themselves, looking after everything etc, and not effectively racing someone,

Good, ill be in my zr1 rm.

car choice is changeable throughout the season I believe, plus if you you check the OP, you'll notice that all the cars have had a visit from Jenny Craig, seeing as you are handy in.... anything you could take something that's not been used,

 

[freshseth83]

I dont think car choice should change each round. I think up to rd.3 then thats it for changing cars. You should stick with the car you chose from rd.3. Just my take.

I may join you in the ZR-1, I need to test it first though, mind. I'm in a Citreon at the moment, though.
