Yes he seems to have vanished .....

Or he lost interest when we questioned his rules ?

Gogtrs maybe you and I can just organize our own event and get another series to join as well?


I'm not sure about Sundays. If bombe, mike46and2, allinwit, & mikethehockeyfan can return to the series on sundays as well as keeping our other season vets on sunday its fine by me.

Sundays are fine. Better in fact. As long as we start the race at 1.15pm EST/7.15pm GMT. I can attend the quali and everything but I have to let my family back in from mass at about 7.10pm so yeah.

Another thing, why have we hired Nyan Cat as the series secretary. I mean surely it can't be Bombe. Bombe is the dark lord and Nyan is the Lord of Rainbow S***s

I say we organize it ourselves, then if he wants to join in he can.
There are plenty of other LMP leagues that we can have join us if need be.

So for cars, do you guys wanna do the Bentley, Pug, 787, and R8 '05?
 
Sunday is fine so long as we start earlier than 2pm. If say room opens at 12 and race at 1 ill be fine to make it.

Yea. Ill send you a pm tonight after I leave work and we can work out the details and create and awesome thread.

We need a cool name for this ...... 👍
 
So here's how my race went. I started on softs because I thought we had to start on the tires we did the qualifying race with. I shoulda rechecked the rules. Doing so I could do 3 laps with the tire wear taking too much off to do a 4th. Me and Jam got into it at the beginning of the Porsche curves on lap 3, pushing me wide and I hit the wall thanks to the dirt. I pit but I dropped from 5th to 10th before that. I'm not blaming you Jam, it was partially my fault, I think I braked too early. My strategy was to use mediums the whole race as I could do 3:25s for 3 laps then pit after 4. But since I fell back I decided to go with softs again. The tire wear was too great and it didn't turn out. On top of it, I had the setup for the ALMS race at Monaco! I only extended the gearing, but I forgot to put traction control back up to 5. On mediums TC on 1 kinda sucks, so I lost of a lot of time in the slower turns. Pretty stupid, I was doing 3:23's earlier in the week on mediums with TC@5. lol-

All I can say is hopefully next season the Bentley can get a weight loss. I'd rather take a HP break and have less weight.
 
Sarthe was the race I was looking most forward to. But in the race all my hundreds of laps of practice went down the toilet. I couldn't remember when to brake, how fast I needed to go through corners, and the new tyre wear model surprised me.

I guess 4 weeks off will do that to you. Maybe S6.
 
I'm really thinking 905 next season but with the higher HP it's gonna be tough.

What?! Higher HP? That's a terrible idea with the current tire wear, it'll make the problem even worse. If tire wear stays as is, I'd go back to 600 HP to help us get some life out of the racing softs, which will be necessary to use.

The HP raised from S4 to S5...that is what I'm talking about lol. No more HP raises
 
908 team also won the team championship.... but i dont think anyone cares.
They were the only team to keep the same drivers all season.

We should really do something about that.

I stayed with 787B through thick and thin, even though I wanted to switch over to the R8 for some tracks. Due to scheduling I also only made 3 races and didnt do great in any of them because mainly my inconsistent driving. Hope I can fix that and find a car that matches me next season.

Keep me listed as a rookie if I race in S6.
 
The 905 is freaking awesome.

Anybody have other results from the last round? I know tiss won, but that's all I know. I guess Jam came in 2nd. The rest could be just about anything.

I will be able to make most sundays, also alot more saturdays now holidays are over.

We should dump the team championship next season. Obviously no one cares about it if only one team survived a mere six races.

I would even say don't bother with signups or who is actively racing or who is reserve or all that bull***t. We just need a basic driver list for who reserves what car.

I know it was the holidays, but even I am a stickler for attendance and I couldn't pull it off this season. To make it painless for the organizers (mostly BK), we should just have a list of drivers and their reserved cars, and that's it. No teams, no active or reserves.

  • Drivers get choice of what car they want to run based on how long they have been in the league
  • BK, you NEED to announce the regulations, schedule, full race information including laps two or more weeks before the preseason race. When you keep waiting until a couple days before, no one knows what the hell is going on and people keep changing their car every fricken day. KNOW the regs. PICK a car. NO CAR CHANGE during the season.
  • Maximum 4 number of cars of each type allowed, if your first car choice is taken then up to you to get another type
  • First 16 drivers who show up once the official lounge is open are the entrants: first-come, first serve. Those who want to race will make sure they are there first.
Thoughts?

I came 2nd with jam right on my Arse Lol

I was so desparate to get pass lol. Once we went in to the Kurves I knew it would be hard. I tried a very ambitious move coming out of the Porsche Kurves in desperation which inevitably ended with a crash so I just decided to let you back by and take 3rd lol :sly:

@Mike: Technically Audi survived the season, as Tom left before the season start. Admittedly with only two drivers but we survived. Although one of them didn't score any points -_-

But yeah scrapping the team championship would probably be sensible. The rest I disagree with.
 
I'll have the 905 next season. I have a plan. Just saying.

Someone who skipped a whole season to play Skyrim prob has last priority on car choice....

I'm strongly pushing for 600 HP next season also. It helps tire wear enough to make the races better.
 
noooo I won't. I have a plan.

Also, I have been in the series for 3 seasons. That is longer than alot of the rookies. I skipped a season because I had no decent wheelstand and then when I did, I wasn't allowed in because the rookies were filling up all the lobby spaces. When it came to one race, BK had deleted me and didn't re add me until after the race.
 
The regs ruled besides from the Audi.

Seeing that both Drum, Tiss and Seth are interested in the 905 you would probably be behind them in the queue, golfer.

Depending on the time of S6 races I may be able to join it.

yea but with the new tire wear we should go low on hp so we can have stint longer than 4 laps. and make no mistake, la sarthe will not be the only track with 3/4 lap stints....
