Well done, I got on again last night and was so close to getting into the 1:19s, and I think I know where I was losing it. This is going to be some exciting racing, can already tell!

As founder I'm glad to hear everyone is enjoying themselves. I like to say Thanks to everyone particapating; for this type of racing is ultimately would I've been wanting to achieve thru GT5 & GTPlanet. I received enough pm's letting me know that 300km is definitely the way to go so that will stay the same an I won't abandon our series like some host in the past. We'll hit it! At this point also I will to create a rough draft of the next upcoming races which looks very promising with 2 special tracks that I'm sure will stun the grid in excitiment!

How the hell do u get a 1 19
Are u a ds3 or wheel user
What car
I think thoose with wheels will have an advantage as you need to carry your speed and hit apex just right

1:19.8 with the Jaguar XJ220 LM. I use the DS3, don't have money for a wheel. I know the Ford GT Black is capable of low 1:20's, and the Zonda LM possibly 1:19's as well.

I wanted to start the 300km before the sprint in the 1st place but I guess everyone had to warm up into it. I'm glad its complete now I rather run 300km. Btw guys the 300km vs 250km poll was literally unanimous with everyone preferring the 300km mark. I'll leave the sprint series open for now but if drivers don't show up for the next 2 events then I'll drop it and focus all attention to this series. Starting my Mazda round of P1 testing tonight! 👍

I'm not doing 1:19's consistently, thats more extreme pace. 1:20's are the norm for cars like the Jaguar and Zonda and Ford GT. Joe I think the RX7 and RX8 should be 1200kg each. They both are a lil slower than the ZR1. Plus the ZR1 is enabled with the supercharger + engine stage 3. The RX7 is a good car, but loses out some. 1200kg seems ok IMO.

We have to keep some of the sprint style races to mix it up a bit 👍
sprint races are for touring cars,
I can hit 1.20.0 in the RX-8, one of lap though, I think most cars are capable of 1.20.4 or lower,

If I lower the Monza race winning Mazda chassis then the Viper needs to go down to 1270kg with the Citroen. After hours of testing with TnT the Citroen at all different downforce levels can out accelerate and out top the Viper at its current reg's. I also wanted to lower the NSX-R kg to 1200kg with the other cars to make more attractive to new drivers. If the car shows dominance then we can find tune it. Thoughts on this?

The best so far for me in the RX7 on full fuel is 1:21.4xx. Thats 1230kg.
Monza went to the Ford GT.
Then u were 2nd. Right? RX7 wasn't represented.

As soon as I went to my rig and thought about it I realized he did take it in the Ford GT
👍 If there are no complaints about it I'm game. I like to speed the cars up to the point of pure pace just to insure there is no off pace cars on track, but at the same time stopping them right before they go dominate on pace. So yeah that's a yes! Very Important News:
-I just did a 82 Lapper and I noticed it took me roughly 2 hours. I'm not sure why due to Mazda being a shorter track, with quicker lap times but it did. As of now I shortened the race to 250km roughly and at this distance we still need to pick up fuel and tires so it will still simulate just like the Monza round. If all the drivers rather race 2hrs vs the 1.5 hrs that we raced at the Monza round then I will gladly switch the race distance back to 300km from the 250km that it is at now. Also if there are any other drivers that have clocked this upcoming race @ 300km but finished around 1.5 hrs then let me know plz so we can do the proper amount of laps for this Mazda Rd! 👍

@Seth, the RX-7 LM is another car I don't have,
@joe, Look at formula 1 at Monza and Albert park, Both are of similar length, and around 4 seconds apart in lap time, yet the race at Monza is always happens in a shorter time,
There are several obvious reason's for this,
1) Monza is literally a flat oval,
2) Monza lap average speed its over 40kph higher then Albert park,
3) Monza being virtually a drag strip you will find yourself having to pit less,
These are a few key reason's why it happens so much faster,
As for time over distance, it might be fairer to the DS3 users to have a 2 hour time limit, I will race what ever the length:tup:
Yes I did win the Carbon GT, Was faster in the RX-8 overall, but couldn't see it doing so great as the balance dropped quite badly after 15 laps, the fastest isn't always the best in some cases, specially endurance races,

I can go a good 20 laps or so at Laguna in most cars. Its short so tires last a good bit. As for distance Im not sure. 1.5 hrs seems good to me.

I don't mind the length but it can't last longer than two hours as it ends up with my hands going numb

At the real Alms Mazda round they race 6hrs!!! At 250km there still is 2 pit strategies. a 2 stopper and a 3 stopper plus re fueling and a race the is a little over 1.5 hrs. I'm going to simulate again but I'm sure this is a very lengthy race distance in deed. Also I think I am going to close the Blancpain sprint section so we can get more drivers to focus on this series instead. It would also save me the headache of monitoring 3 op's vs 2 which I could use. If there are no objections I would like to proceed with focusing all my attn to this op?,..
For 1st time practicer's this round may seem dull at 1st but after you clock 250km or more of practice this track fun level goes thru the roof. This will be an awesome round for sure and 1 to remember, trust me!!!
Recent News:
Us race Stewards are still in immediate progress of balancing 3 new chassis to add to the grid as soon as possible.
1. Stelth Mclaren GT 2. '97 Tom's Supra 3. Nissan Concept LM

You got my vote Joe. 👍
As for a 2 hour race, my back can't handle much more than 1.5 hours. I have to stand up and stretch during every pit anyways. Yes Joe, this is where you can say "Slight Older Man" lol
As for the Mazda Laguna Seca race, you all better bring it

I wouldn't add a JGTC car to a GT grid. Throws it off, at least for me. Try and find a Euro player who owns the Stealth SLS! That car would look mint on the grid!

The Stealth SLS is around 1400kg. Too heavy.

If we could balance that car them we could use the Zurich GTR since it looks more GT but it also is heavy as all hell. Stealth SLS easy decision. The only other way to represent Toyota if not using the Tom's Supra is to add the Lexus RM, but Seth all ready made a point about it being a 4 door and the GT's we are racing are 2 doors. When it comes to Toyota's we run into our 1st problem. Either a Jstc car, or a 4 door, or just don't represent Toyota. I'm fine with either choice?,.. Plz let's not try to get into an arguement over this!

Lexus concept is a DTM car and the L-FA doesn't have a livery.
