It would be nice to know what was going on before I stop what I am doing to go try to race. Where will you draw that line with time and how any show up? If 3 show up will we race or is that number 5, or 6 or does everyone need to show up to declare it an official race??

I don't know what I don't know. I'm taking things as they are.

Hey guys reminder that there is no race for us tomorrow. Our next race is Saturday March 1st at Road Atlanta. Enjoy your Valentine's Day, President's Day, and Daytona 500 weekend.

 

[Cold Warrior]

Hey guys reminder no race for us this weekend again. We return Saturday March 1st (3/1) to the 90 Minutes of Road Atlanta. Followed by Monza before another break for the 12 Hour of Sebring. Our Road Atlanta race is 2nd of 90 minutes races this season. Both scoring x1.5 of the standard scores. The race is not meant to represent the 10 hours of Road Atlanta (aka Petite Le Mans). The race not introduced until 1998. Used our race as a substitute for Sebring. See you next week.

Hey I've been thinking experimenting with the tire wear. Maybe drop it do to x3 for a few races. The idea is to try to make soft tires more useful for alternative strategies. What do you guys think?

Probably a good idea, pit stops are fuel based anyways, might as well open up the races to different strategies.

I still adjusting to the new. I initially was worried about going to low that everyone just favors the softs if the last to long. But the softs have more grip fallout and a much narrower optimal performance range.
than the Mediums. So I don't think it would be problem for most race tracks.

This so makes 1 yes and 1 maybe. I'll give the other a few days. Try to make my final decision on the change by Saturday morning.

 

[Cold Warrior]

Hey I decided to change tire wear to x3 the next 2 races at Road Atlanta and Monza for now as a trial. I'll make the change official after Monza depending on feedback and if the change has then desired effect.

Birthday vacation I assume. See you at Monza.

Only 4 days remaining until our next race. The 90 Minutes of Road Atlanta. Do to circumstances that I'm going to leave as a surprise most. There may be a rare opportunity available for who can earn it. As of for me. Road Atlanta is not a great place for me. And despite my efforts to get better. I have struggled to get a feel for it. Nor do I know what kind of setup I like. So my goal are to try to stay on track for 90 minutes. See you Saturday.

. "Do (due?) to circumstances that I'm going to leave as a surprise most. There may be a rare opportunity available for who can earn it"

I think you missed a word or two, I can't make heads or tails of it. I think I know what you are trying to say but I am still at a loss. Maybe you want to proofread it and adjust your sentences a little. I know when I read what I just typed I often wonder what the frick I am talking about

 

[Cold Warrior]

Happy Birthday @Josa!!! Your GT Planet account says yours 35. Does this mean you were born in 1990 as well?

Well with all the absent drivers. I was able to post the replay. I prefer the problem of the replays being too big. Thanks everyone who attended tonights race. Next week is the even more high speed version of Monza. I removed the chicane because thought there was to many technical tracks. No this not accurate to the layout used during the mid late Group C. Neither layout is. The used what I call the zigzag chicane when Group C raced Monza. Anyways advice reduce drag and fuel mileage is the key.
