Hello, ALL---

I was thinking we should do a 1 hour race to start off this Sundays GT3 Club. To insure we have as many cars crossing the finish line as possible I would like to ask ANYONE who wants to attend this event to post here, so we have an idea of how many will be participating.

GT3 Club will be opening @ its usual time( 8:00am PST) & free practice will be open for 30min, the 1 hour race will start @ 8:30am PST.

I would like to have a vote to pick witch course we will be running, the courses available to pick will all be time/weather variable world circuits.

---If you can, plz post weather you will be able to make it, thnx! , @eminem09494, ,, [USER=255614]@AngHell, @Lewmatic, @crelou, @CAMikaze, @Benz-27



---GT3 Club members attending;

- thermite
- p4n-sh0
- l--g46(if connection allows)
- Alemao
- VTC-16
- ahojekk(if not TOO 'hung-over')

---Public players attending(sign up here)[/USER]

I will try and make this event. I might miss out on the first race since I'm meeting up with my family for dinner at around that time, but hopefully I can make the rest of them.

thanks for invite, gurizzi :)

Hello, Thermite!---


Nice!, im sure you had fun! thnx for sharing with us, any event(s) that stood out? The last time I went to a NASCAR event was a 'CUP' race @ Texas Motor Speedway in '09. I was surprised how entertaining the 'tri-oval' is, I sat @ turn 4 exit.

The lobby was very good, met a good driver from France so hopefully he will stop by often. I think the best race was @ Nurb./F in the rain, some really great battles!.

Forgot to reply to this. Hmmm... events that stood out. Well when I went to the Truck race, I had an infield pass, and since it was raining on Friday, I basically had the infield all to myself. Literally less than 5 people were in the area that we could go in. Then on Saturday, I came back for the postponed Truck race, and got to see the end of the Nationwide race. I ended up going out by the stands right in front of where the winner was grabbing the checkered flag from the flagman. So that was cool. And then the Cup race on Sunday was just on a whole different level. It was extremely crowded! Totally packed. But that race was just plain awesome. Great weekend :) That's cool you saw a race at Texas! That's a nice looking place.

The course is open for free practice now. 30min practice session, race will start in about 30min !!!

see above for details on todays lobby, cya on course!!!
 
Just got back home, sorry I missed it. How'd it go?

Hello!--

It was a low turn out this time, we ended up doing a 40min(3 participants) & a 30min(5p participants).

--I'm sure next sunday will be back to normal!

--Also thinking about adding a new format to keep things interesting, ex; 3 Race CUP, weekly special event, etc.
 
Awesome race at Brands Hatch to start my day! Close racing at the beginning, then I ended up pulling away and cruising for a while. Then holy crap, the second half was intense haha. A few laps after my first pit stop, I made my first mistake by going wide in one turn and almost spinning out. It slowed me down enough for gurizzi to get within a couple seconds. Then he started to reel me in from there. Once I started to pull back away, I noticed he had pitted, so I started to think I had it in the bag. Then I was like, "Oh no! I'm low on fuel just like he was!" So I made the call to play it safe and pit (with 2 minutes left, mind you). I came out JUST in front of gurizzi and was able to hold him off. Man, that was fun!

YES!, good race to VTC & Thermite! Good battle @ start I tried to pass VTC on outside & almost lost it then I DID 'lose' it in the same spot the very next lap!:scared:. LOL!.(luckily no damage!) Great drive Thermite!, u were very consistent once I would catch you! After I set the 'hot-lap' I was like, "I got this! :cool:", but you would only let me get so close before u would start executing again :banghead:. haha!, great race all!

--As I mentioned in an earlier post I'd like to add a new format to our Club! All ideas are welcome so suggest away! 💡

-- I suggest we do a 'CUP' format, where there are 3-6 1hour races a month held either once or twice a week? We will agree on the course each week via vote & how many races will be in each months 'CUP'. Points will be held & there will be a 'GT3 Club CUP' Champ. each month. These races will be held in same exact format as usual in public lobbies open to ALL racers. This is just my 'rough-draft' idea, it can still be adjusted.

what u guys think? thnx! :gtpflag:
 
Great racing with you Gurizzi and thermite I may not be up to par yet but with each race I hope to become more of a challenge. Gurizzi I think it's a good idea to have Cup Races it gives a GT3-Club members recognition for that month. I would like tobe part of that series just depends on the schedule.

Hey, VTC! ---

Thanks for participating as always!, I think your pace has greatly improved since you joined & ur race management has always been good!

--I'd like to take the time to address this issue tho, there has been at least 10 players to join GT3 Club who quit after their first event because they are off pace, poor race management or don't like heavy damage. So, id like to ask you (VTC) if you would like to try & recruit 'novice' drivers? I've always been MORE then willing to offer my opinions & help to anyone!. The GT3 Club has always been about having fun, driving clean & managing your race, other then simply trying to beat the car in front/behind you. The point im trying to make is, we are looking for players of ANY skill/experience level who enjoy the TRUE experience of racing. I can go on & on about many things on this topic, so if u have been on the fence about joining, GET OFF! lol, & join! WE obviously have enough experienced racers here & its time to start looking for players who are NEW to Endurance racing & all the variables it consists of.

--Let me know what you guys think here....

thnx!
 
Gurizzi

I'll do my best to help the club grow, that's a giving. Just understand the people I may invite should have no reflection a pond me. I hate it too when someone starts a race and quits in the middle. People need to be Big Boys & Girls and FINISH it's just 1 race sh**t happens even the best drivers have off days. Your room settings are awesome it replicates a real race in my opinion.


1 question: can I use the (Audi R8 MLS ultra '12) in this series?

Thnx, sounds good!. LOL, the disclaimer, I understand, all we can do is 'take them to the water...' haha!. Anyways, whatever you can do is fine, I just know your mild mannered & you enjoy racing here so it would be nice to have some people to race with you! Your also one of the most under-control players. There has been many players around your skill level but they have no ability to race under control or manage the race, so they are no longer participating.

ALL GT3 category cars are allowed, ALL settings will be exactly the same for the 'CUP' races, so YES its allowed. I'm adding this 'CUP' format to keep things interesting & add some extra fun!. There will still be the usual 'quick-race' format, we will just add these 1 hour events to it.
