Riservato

 

[Jakedog23]

Hey Flip,
What has been figured out in terms of class we want to run and such?

 

[FlipJ]

Hey Flip,
What has been figured out in terms of class we want to run and such?

Not yet. Once we have a driver head count, we'll get on that.
I'm eager to race is as many categories and classes as we can, so let's see what happens.

 

[Jakedog23]

Ok thought I might ask.
Also I would like to show my interest here about racing for you guys.
I could help a little with tuning the cars also

 

[FlipJ]

I believe you could help a lot more than a little with tuning and with quality driving.

 

[Jakedog23]

I believe you could help a lot more than a little with tuning and with quality driving.

Appreciate that Flip. Well anything to do with tuning just give me a heads up and I could get something different for everyone else if they want that

 

[USERID_77a23]

What day/night of the week do the events take place on. Practices I could work around but when do they schedule the main event.

 

[Jakedog23]

What main event are you looking for? Depending on classes there are many different events.

 

[USERID_77a23]

I'm not looking for anything in particular. Just don't want to sign up if they race on a day/night that I can't be there.

 

[Jakedog23]

Ah I see what you are saying.

 

[USERID_77a23]

Ah I see what you are saying.

I think I'm seeing that it's always a weekend ? Mostly Saturday to Sundays??

 

[FlipJ]

Most of them are on weekends, yes.

 

[Jakedog23]

Most of them are on weekends, yes.

That will work out. Also how many people do we have signed up?

 

[RobbiefromBC]

Races tend to fall on weekends, but qualifying (depending on classes) can land on week days. I think the calendar is up on the main GTPES thread. I can help with getting folks up to speed and getting the cars up to speed for now, eventually I would like to drive though!

Well I think you will be a good addition to the race team
And my experience in GTPES was only one race in the first ever season the 24h of Le Mans.

 

[FlipJ]

We have 5 people that have expressed interest (myself included) so far.

What a race to be dropped into

 

[Jakedog23]

What a race to be dropped into

Oh it was way back when I ended up doing a 4 1/2 stint into 3 in the morning, in an LMP car with a controller

That's just crazy. Hopefully my management skills won't precipitate anything of the sort for our team.

 

[Jakedog23]

Yeah bad management was the issue there. But remember this was before the GTPES was called that and Le Mans was the only true main event So now people have learned, I hope

 

[goofytyler]

Hey if you need a driver im available as i raced last season in the GTPES

 

[FlipJ]

Hey if you need a driver im available as i raced last season in the GTPES

You're counted as in, Goofy, don't worry.

 

[FlipJ]

Posted the Event calendar organised by category above.
Considering the driver minimum requirements for each category (also posted), that's probably the easiest way to figure out what classes to run.

Who is already placed with GTP?

 

[goofytyler]

I'm currently a bronze driver but i should be moved up to a silver soon.

 

[RobbiefromBC]

I got gold on the last race I ran.

 

[Jakedog23]

Pretty sure I am Bronze with only one drive under my belt.
