I am pulling out of this series... I have damaged my hand from playing too much and I need to rest it over a period of time so it can repair... Sorry guys but it was unavoidable...

That's terrible news! I hope that you have a quick recovery and get back in soon! Seen some good racing from you, will be missing something in track now!

 

[freshseth83]

Too bad plux. We will see u soon though. Im tempted to use his Ford, but its almost too easy of a car. The best handling 'gt' racer in the game imo.

If you ever need a hand, I'll try my best to give you a good set up... I've pulled out of 3 series but I will try to help anyone

The Ford is lovely and its a shame to lose the car to someone else... Who ever takes her better go and win the series!

Important News:
-So I received the pm's back and most drivers didn't mind if it rained our not but a few drivers did prefer the dry, so to best suit everyone we're going to declare this a dry race this week. Also 2 of the drivers wouldn't be able to make the race if we start an hr early so Unfortunately we will have to start at our regular time of 2pm Pst | 10pm Gmt.

 

[JoRdY105]

Thanks joe!

Our races always tend to start earlier than that anyway don't they? Unless I'm not converting the time right!

Well.... When the geese at Internode claim you haven't paid them, and you give them solid evidence that you have infact over paid, then they have no option but to restore service,

Ohh I've heard of a few people having trouble with them lately

My dad had the same problem with Telstra not long ago! They also promptly sped his connection back up after realizing the fault

 

[joetruckv8]

So I'm lead to believe that 8:13.xxx to 8:18.xxx are avg lap times around Nurburgring?!.

My PB is a 8:16.795 after lots of time on track with Joe last night. 👍

 

[Chozza_32]

Hey guys, can confirm that i can actually commit to this race this time and that i'm teaming up with dave in the Ford GT.

 

[Storm_SP17]

Well, on lap 2 in an underpowered Vette RM I got 8:14.8. I'm running the car with 463 bhp rather than 473, and an extra 40 kg.

 

[freshseth83]

Ran an 8:10 with the Ford, but not sure I'll use that car.

 

[racefan88]

I ran an 8:17 with a kinda extended slide in an RM vette, and a few other areas for improvement so Im probably looking around 8:13s, are we only getting 20 min to qualify (1 hot lap) for this race or will the session be longer, sorry if this was mentioned already in the thread.

I will add your updated vehicle to the spreadsheets! 👍

 

[TDZdave]

I can't wait for this!!!!!!!

 

[JoRdY105]

I can't wait for this!!!!!!!

I'm having so much trouble with my times still, have no clue what I'm doing wrong

But I'm definitely looking forward to this, love the track!

 

[A_Higher_Place]

Hey guys, hope your series is still going well! I miss the racing! I'm half way across Canada so don't think I'll be back anytime soon. Hopefully August sometime!

It is my man, it is at the moment. Hopefully we finish with at least a strong 8 at the end!

 

[freshseth83]

Good running earlier Joe. We both ran 8:13s on lap two of a two lap race. Thats pretty close to real life times.

Quick question guys: is it normal warm up lap procedure at the nurburgring? or is it different because it's such a big track?
