damnit, you know what, Im working again today. It will be all day too so I doubt I will make the race. That sucks. I probably cant do anything til next year. I work all day, every day in December.
 
That sucks mate,

one just opened up skeng, even though Spaz was in the Yellow hat GTR there was one fella who was a reserve first so he will get first preference for any available car, he may already run a supra, but we won't know until race time,

hey gp , sign me up then dave ill look at what cars i can choose

just checked , ill use the yellowhat gtr

if its no tuning does that mean i dont need to break in this car ?
 
you can but its your choice if you want to mate, with an oil change it puts the car up to 518BHP so it will have to be brought down,

I think you will probably want to though to get the maximum torque curve,
 
just checking because ive never driven the yellowhat , always driven the blue car

ill have to buy one for the race :)
 
YES I WOULD!Thanks for reminding gippone

STARTING PROCEDURE FOR SPA!

1) qualifying finishes and the race is started,

2) once the race countdown timer has finished you must wait on the grid,

3) we will check to make sure the qualifying order is correct,
3A) if there is an issue with where your position is type C for current and Q for qualified, therefore it should read for expample C11 Q8, thus meaning your position on the grid is 11th and you believe you qualified 8th, DO NOT MOVE until I double check the qualifying results I will have written down, then I will insttuct you to do so,

4)when that is done we will commence the warm up lap SINGLE FILE4A) remember this wont be a full warm up lap, so you will want to do your warm up lap preparation's very quickly,

5) The race will start when the leader get's passed the 1st apex of Les Combes, THERE WILL BE NO PASSING UNTIL YOU ARE OUT OF THE 3RD TURN OF LES COMBES Then the race is on!

Gippone has provided a map in the post below if this is confusing or you are track illiterate :lol:
Thanks gippone,

Please remember to have fun and be careful,

Just to help:

Race will start on the apex of turn 7 and no overtake until the exit of turn 9 👍

for those who may miss it,
 
Well, unfortunately, i'll not be able to race tonight due to other commitments (with my roommates). Sorry guys, have a good race ;)

Nooo my friend after our practise I wanted so bad to drive with you :ouch:
 
ah that sucks, I'm going to open the room shortly, need some practice before the event. will post the room number when I do,
 
If the race is over at 20.00 UTC, yea, i can make it, but a 35 lapper at Spa, i guess it's a no no no :(

once again for those who may have missed it,
 
well.... I guess, unless he decides to run at the last minute,
 
okay. Can i be his reserve just in case he misses it? I loved the sarthe one, and missed the motegi one (real shame as it is one of my favorite tracks) :P
 
Well, just done a quick calculation and the race should be over around 1h20 or so. So if we start the race at EXACTLY 18.45 UTC, yea i can make it guys.
 
ok bud, well to help you with your time issue we will run the race completely dry,
 
And do you open the room soon? Or better if i open a practice room now? BTW if you open a room, make sure u turned mics disabled before opening the room dude ;)
 
doing it in the next 10 minutes, the PS3 isn't loading GT for some unknown reason, has there been an update?

nope just loaded,
 
Just for the heads up, i plan to do the race in full simulation mode: Cockpit view / Screen display off / abs off / Map scale set on 2 (in case of close battles). I'm a bit slower in this configuration (around the mid 2:15 iirc) but it'll be a really good challenge. Cause i can't see my tire wear and fuel consumption with the display off...

Really youre slower in full simulation? I'm usually faster its just tire wear is weird but I can usually tell by my lap times
 
Driving with no ABS is poor on GT5. Becareful you don't wreck someone its a very dodgy thing no ABS

iRacing, you should give it a go if you like a full sim.
