GTP WRS-Online : Special VII - Le Mans Dream Car Enduro - Sept 9

[WRP001]

Qualification deadline is in a couple minutes... if you aren't in the lounge by 10:00 PM Pacific we'll consider you late. Quali times will be published in the next 30 minutes.

 

[WRP001]

Here are the results from qualifying:

​

Congratz to Bart for grabbing pole position by over a second! And congratz to Mohit and Litch for their top 3 runs. 👍

Now we'd like to ask all drivers on reserve to update their status in the next 24-36 hours (by the start of the support races) so we can make a decision on the lounge split.

We will accept late qualifiers, but you will start at the tail end of the field, behind anyone who qualified by the deadline.

 

[Gravitron]

Thanks Tim and Jon for your expert Stewardship.

Bummed I can't make the Enduro, but I'm going to make hay out of the Sat races.

Kind of liking this Ferrari.

 

[Racingworld68]

Again I am very dissapointed in myself.....Altough I have the pace, and already done so much practise, I am never able to nail it in a one or two lap quali. At least I am looking forward to the BBB (Belgium Battle in the Back)

Reminder for intrested folks who want to practise a full race, tonight at 20.00GMT we will do a 33 lap race in 3D3-B room.


Friday night practise (07/09) 20.00 GMT

GTP_Racingworld - Ferrari 330 P4
GTP_Mamba - Ford Mark IV
GTP_Jammy - Jaguar XJ13
GTP_n0iZe - Jaguar XJ13

Nice laps Bart, Mohit and litchi

8th is ok, it was a safe lap but I somehow lost 1.2 seconds in sector 1 when I checked the replay! Standard of lap times looks pretty high! Doesn't look like too many infractions. Well done guys! How many in the A race? 14? 15?

 

[WRP001]

How many in the A race? 14? 15?

That we decide after all reserves update their status on Saturday. Also, late entrants are welcome, but as late qualifiers they will start in the back of room B.

Right now we have 19 confirmed, but Twissy is included and he didn't qualify (yet) so may as well say 18 confirmed. That's a rough number to split in two. Hopefully a few reserves will confirm and make things a little easier.

The picture will come into better focus on Saturday.

PS. The fan EDK sent me works like a charm after an hour long operation on my wheel so I have confirmed for all races. 👍 good fellow, that EDK

Ill be using the Jag or the ferrari not the Ford

Also I havent had any long runs so I dont know about the stops, Im guessing for 33 laps 3-4 stops? has anyone tried any long run stints

 

[jtv90069]

Congrats Bart, Mohit and Will for the fastest qualifying times 👍👍👍

Frank you can tentatively put me into your practice race (50%) in the Ferrari.

No problem, you can use wathever car you want. About the stops : that is why we do these practises. 3 or 4 would be the way to go, 3 If you are able to drive 9 laps at at least one stint. Otherwise you would have to go for 4.

Some more practice would definitely help build up my confidence in the car. I'll be there.

 

[Racingworld68]

👍 Christophe

 

[PASM]

Thanks guys! 👍 To be honest I expected my time being spanked by James Good job to everyone that put in a clean hotlap when it counted 👍👍👍

I was curious to see if that would happen or if yanaran would maybe get the itch to qualify or even Wes. But alas, none of them made a run.

Your time was very good. A practice lap is one thing, but a one shot quali where a 2 second penalty is a couple feet away is a different story.

Congratz again.

 

[yanaran]

I can't make either saturday or sunday so I didn't want to waste your time when so many seemed to wait until the last minute to Q.

I'll try to make Racingworlds practise tonight, I'm driving the Jag. Don't know if I'll be able to sit down for 2.5 hours though!

 

[mohitraina91]

Thanks guys! And congrats Bart, great lap 👍.

I can be here if you start at 20.30 GMT cause i'm in LILOO just before

 

[Racingworld68]

We will be waiting for Mich, for the same reasons if I am correct.

 

[Litchi]

true 👍

 

[Gravitron]

Just a thought...maybe you're already doing this...

You might want to have people do the 5min pit-stop thing during your practice races as well. 👍

Details are in the 2nd post, under Simulated Driver Change.

Yes, we will practise the race, with the same settings and rules wich will be used on Sunday. That does include the 5min driver change. Thanks Lucas, forgot to mention it.

 

[WRP001]

Frank, I may join the start of your race today... I'm not 100% so don't wait for me if I'm not there. I can't stay for the entire race so I may just park at some point, but it will be a good chance to do a couple full stints to test tires and fuel, etc.

I think this link will show the time in your zone (20:30 GMT) which is 1:30 Pacific... right?

 

[Litchi]

yea, right 👍

 

[Vagabond]

Settling down with the new wheel software now... thankfully.

Nice job in qualy everyone. 👍 Wow, I'm actually nervous about this race you know - that's never happened before

I think I read somewhere where you can type in a time using some bbcode and it translate that into everyones local time depending on where you are. Dont know if its possible here though.

Correct, like Litchi said. Everybody is welcome, no problem if you not intend to finish the race.

[jammy21]

i'm a little bit sick (influenza, little fever) so i'll try to do as much lap as i could.

 

[yanaran]

I might not be able to run the whole distance either... I just realized I'm GMT+2 not +1, so it will end up going a little later than I had planned. I'll stay as long as I can though, want to at least do some night racing!

no problem.
