well it's actually my boss's article hahaha. Anyway, in egypt yes we are allowed to go to multiple locations for the duration of the three weeks and try as much as we like. bear in mind you guys might have it different over there.

Also @drspeedy and @Mamaghi if you guys make it in the Moroccan top 5 that will come to egypt for the regional final you will have to go up against the 20 or 10 egyptians that will be there. places for all 3 countries are not guaranteed. also the places for race camp are now 6 not 3 like the website suggests. Also can you send me a copy of your terms and conditions?

Huge thank you for the feedback. 6 instead of 3 is an excellent news. Hope we'll meet in Egypt in about a month from now. Wish us a good luck.

Best of luck to you and thx again.

 

[Mamaghi]

Just one question, do we have to register for the live event online, is there any link for that ?

 

[Warbeast101]

@Warbeast101 another question please , can we change the aids ?

In egypt at least, everything is off except ABS set to 1 and manual transmission with racing hard tires. We are not allowed to change anything and i think that is for the best. And yes we have the same terms and conditions

Just one question, do we have to register for the live event online, is there any link for that ?

I hope we do bro we here in egypt DID NOT have to register. but check your facebook page and local promoters in case things are different. like i said things could be different over there

 

[Warbeast101]

ok so guys, a few pictures i wanna share with you guys, first of all the picture of the car that will PROBABLY be used in the regional finals in sharm el sheikh egypt:

In case it's not obvious, this is a nissan sunny and it will most likely have a manual transmission so work those heeling and toeing

the second picture i wanna share is of our estimed GTP member @sems4arsenal

Yes ladies and gentlmen he is cute and he is single

more pics soon

 

[drspeedy]

thanks for sharing all this mate how did you perform ?

 

[Warbeast101]

thanks for sharing all this mate how did you perform ?

horribly...and i am currently in 3rd i believe but it's only been a few hours and the heavy hitters did not turn in times just yet. but since we get unlimited tries i thought i would have a go

 

[sems4arsenal]

I hate you so much @Warbeast101

@drspeedy top times are in the 1:04.3 so far.

 

[drspeedy]

horribly...and i am currently in 3rd i believe but it's only been a few hours and the heavy hitters did not turn in times just yet. but since we get unlimited tries i thought i would have a go

unlimited tries ? really ? lol I thought it was 3 laps max lol

 

[Warbeast101]

unlimited tries ? really ? lol I thought it was 3 laps max lol

i was shocked too, we get two laps and then we have to stand at the back of the line

 

[Mamaghi]

Which circuit configuration is in use, southern or national ?
Sorry for the large number of questions.

 

[drspeedy]

international circuit

 

[drspeedy]

so @Warbeast101 and @sems4arsenal to recapulate the live event consisted on driving a gtr gt3 in silverstone international circuit , all driving aids off except abs on 1 , the wheel is t500rs . and you are free to play as much as you can you are not limited right

 

[sems4arsenal]

Yes @drspeedy

 

[drspeedy]

@Mamaghi it's show time

 

[Warbeast101]

@Mamaghi it's show time

hey don't forget to tell us what your tournament looks like "wheel, configuration, car etc..." and take pictures. i will be bringing pictures on saturday

 

[Warbeast101]

@drspeedy @Mamaghi tell how is it goin guys? did you find out anything?

 

[sems4arsenal]

So apparently some of the top actual racers (karts and autocross) are entering the competition, I am confused isn't having previous racing experience make you ineligible?

can @Famine or @Wardez shed some light on this?
