Grand Am 85 Laps of Daytona!- Finished, Thanks All!

[polarbear345]

I think it's better because some people in the series only look at 1 thread. I don't follow the thread in interest checks that much, so I keep up with the s2 thread and this thread for my scoop

Oh, so thats what this thread is??

Last time I checked, this was for our ultra fun spot endurance race that will require more bladder skills than driving!

We would like to have a full room of 16 competitors 👍

 

[Downhill Dino]

I'm lost too! We've gotten people on all of them too, people are referring to testing at Daytona here, Suzuka on season 3 discussion, and a mystery track on season 2!

It's nuts! Although I do tend to like this...

You need a general Rolex series thread. Clubs & Leagues perhaps? Get a moderator to merge them maybe, or lock and create.

We have been toying with a GT5 Grand Am league thread.

For Rolex and Continental general mayhem, I mean discussion

If I don't go to my boys bachelor party in Vegas that weekend then count me in still'

Whilst you guys are talking about season 3 i think i'll sign up if this spot race goes well.

Sweet!

This should go fine if everyone is on time.

 

[james6653]

I would like to drive the Audi 5.2.

 

[Storm_SP17]

All places are full it seems. If you're not happy with James being in the Audi, I'll also pick Audi so you've got a reliable second person.

 

[unrealanthony]

Can I ran with the Toyota?, I want to race with other car, not the Nissan!

 

[polarbear345]

I've got both of you guys down!

Welcome to the race guys!

 

[james6653]

I've got both of you guys down!

Welcome to the race guys!

Thanks glad to be here hope I do well.

 

[polarbear345]

Thanks glad to be here hope I do well.

I mean all 3 now!

So seems like we're just taking sign ups and first 6 DP and 10 GT to get in will race.

 

[james6653]

What day is the race and what time will the room be up?

 

[polarbear345]

What day is the race and what time will the room be up?

29th and 5:30 eastern

 

[james6653]

29th and 5:30 eastern

5:30 on the 29th is a good time. Its only a few hours after the Rolex finale at lime rock.

 

[unrealanthony]

29th and 5:30 eastern

Why that time, why not the regular time 7:05 east?

 

[sheephead99]

any chance i can get in on the ferrari team?

Yea, Welcome to the race!

It's going to be longer than normal rolex races, so it's starting sooner.

Thanks I best get some practice in

 

[Storm_SP17]

It'll be a very long race. I'm glad it's starting earlier. Such a shame we can't have twice as many people in a lobby. That would be SICK!!!

Optimum tyre choice is Racing Mediums now right?

 

[sheephead99]

aslong as we stick to the 1330kg and 420bhp can we tune it anyway we want? or is it just stock?

 

[Storm_SP17]

If you mean adding performance upgrades? Most likely a yes.

To be honest, the way that torque band looks and the amount you have to cut the Ferrari down anyway, chances are you'll kill the car's performance if you go mental with the upgrades. Only really needs the suspension, flywheel, transmission and other non-bhp increasing stuff on it.

 

[unrealanthony]

I counted 18 drivers, Is that right?

 

[Storm_SP17]

Yes. Me you and James were the 16th, 17th and 18th to join.

I've cut the one im driving down to 420 bhp and its still pokey enough. Just upgraded the transmission, all drivetrain mods and suspension. Just wanna get an accurate view on the amount of laps the hard and medium tires are capable of before they need changing

 

[Storm_SP17]

Well, given the lap time drop off is different for each compound, you might want to consider which is going to be better in the long run. Might be about 50% more laps but I'm not sure, might be less than that between Mediums and Hards.

 

[sheephead99]

got about 12 laps out of the hards before they started to effect my pace and driving style. Gonna play about with the suspension and see if I can get a few more laps out of them.
