Sold on the beer glass :D

Cool, if the other guys don't mind I'll join the team, thanks mate.

If you decide you want to race, I'll give you the spot back.

:)

They have an open spot already since Sphinx cancelled. I'll move you onto the team. It'll be 3 + hasslemoff on reserve.

Can all team captains reach out to their drivers and verify they are still solid and then send me an update via PM?

We started registration very early for this and it seems a few people don't even remember about this. I'd like to get an update from each team by end of the weekend and also have people update their status if they are unsure to reserve at minimum. Teams of 3 confirmed plus 1 reserve is fine, but anything short of that we need to discuss.

You are fine Dean. You gave enough notice and I was just encouraging others that are no longer completely confirmed to let us know now as opposed to waiting.

Okay, good. I just got a bit worried :D.

And good luck, Tidgney :cheers:!
 
We've got the main lounge open.

At 20:00 GMT (1 hour from now) we'll ask all drivers to exit track and clear times and then return to track to begin a 10 minute open qualification session. The automatic race start timer will be set to 10 minutes. If you arrive between 20:00 and 20:10 just jump on track and do as many laps as you can/want. If you aren't in the lounge by 20:10 then you missed it. :sly: Pits are open during quali, but do not exit to the lobby or your times will be lost.

Basically the normal start procedure: We'll do 1 staggered 2-wide formation lap plus 24 race laps and will start in the order of the grid placement which should be by fastest lap during the quali session, but we'll go with whatever GT5 gives us as far as order. The pole sitter will lead the grid at 100 kph / 62 mph on the formation lap and accelerate to race pace at the start/finish line (the timing line when the lap timer ticks). All other drivers should accelerate when the driver in front of you does and no passing allowed before the start/finish. If you get an unfair jump, just lift momentarily.

Arrive in the lounge early if possible. We expect at least 13, but those who didn't sign up are welcome as long as there are spots. Drivers on the sign up list above have priority in case the room is full.

See you on track.
 
I'll join also to Spa practice.

* Removed my name.
I know I signed up as 100%, but something I just could'nt forsee popped up. :(

Have fun guys! 👍
 
No problem Dennis, sometimes 100% is just 99.9% rounded up and the 0.1 happens. :lol:

Also, I think it's safe to remove the Fuji sign up now!

Note that we are going to have a few windows open Sat/Sun for cycled short practice races on Saturday and Sunday. These will be shorter races, but will be focused on team tactics. Try to bring a teammate if possible. No need to sign up, just come by if you are available.

Saturday:
  • Fuji @ 19:00-20:30 GMT - 7 lap races w/a 10 minute auto race start cycle.
  • Spa @ 20:30-22:00 GMT - 5 lap races with a 10 minute auto race start cycle.
Sunday:
  • Spa @ 19:00-20:30 GMT - 5 lap races with a 10 minute auto race start cycle.
  • Fuji @ 20:30-22:00 GMT - 7 lap races w/a 10 minute auto race start cycle.

Event Settings (GTP_3D3Racing)
  • Start Type: Grid Starts (no formation)
  • Grid Order: Fastest First (initial race), Reverse Grid Based on Previous Result (remaining)

If you want to start early or stay late, just set up the lounge to specs.
 
Good practice race. I found out 3 things.

1. The starts will be interesting.

2.When picking out a brake point for entering the pits, don't do it on fresh tires. I did this and when the time came for tires I no longer had the grip to make the entrance at that speed.

3. I really haven't figured out fuel/tire wear = fast. I keep coming up 2 laps short.
 
I had a great time today... Lots learned. Looking forward to Spa tomorrow...

There are small orange markers on the fence on the right before the pits. I am using one of them for my braking point for pit entry. I calculated that 50L of fuel are needed for Fuji.

Al
 
Was a good session.

Only planned to make 1 stop but I didn't take enough fuel :ouch:

Had to stop again with about 4 laps left.

Good battles Al, I kept misjudging the breaking point while drafting you into turn one, If you wondered why I kept flying past into the run off. :dopey:

Edit: Will any results be posted? or videos? Forgot to save a replay, the missus was itching for the TV.

Was good fun yesterday. Unfortunatly I ran out of fuel the last 2 corners.

Did take 40 liters of fuel, I think a safe amount will be 45-46 liters.
Struggled a lot with pace tough, was running 37s and only a few 36s.
You have to be very smooth with the throttle to avoid excessive wheel spin.
The last few laps before the pitstop the car felt like running on ice in a few turns.
Used 5/6 BB.
Hopefully see you tonight for the Spa practice 👍

That's something I struggle with, It's hard to get the right balance, a little too much and you lose traction or not enough and you're too slow out of the corner, hitting it perfect is difficult. I tend to be too cautious most of the time.

How many of you guys have pedal mods? I think I could use some.

Not sure if I can hijack the TV again tonight but I'll be there if I can.
Going out tonight, won't make practice.

Hi Guys ,

Sadly i will be pulling out of this event as the time line to GTAcademy is so close and i need to put my focus on that instead and will not have time to test or find a setup suitable to all 3 tracks .

I wish you guys all the best for the event and do GB proud :) , Take care Chaps .

Cheers

Good luck with GT Academy.

This event is tuning prohibited and only on two tracks though. :P

It was an unofficial practice race so we're not posting any official results, but I took a screen grab of the leaderboard from the end of the replay. Note that several drivers ran out of gas so the results are a bit skewed:

The best laps are probably the best indicator of pace [potential].

Did anyone try a 2-stop or did everyone just to 1?

Few of us at the back did. Mine wasn't very thought out though, just seeing how long I could keep going on the first set then pit. I'm thinking to pit around lap 8 and 16 in the main race. My throttle control is poor with this car.
 
I did two stops only because I pushed "Accept" button by mistake and didn't get enough fuel!!!!:banghead:

Yeah, fast fuel bug is infuriating. They keep making patches but that pit crew calculation still ignores burn rate. Wish we were using normal. :/

Normal would result in no pits during these 40 minute races. If it had been one longer hour plus race we'd have used normal.

Now we have a choice between 1 and 2 pits and both strategies may be viable. Run 2 stops and you can make up some of the time by adding less fuel per stop (you get the 15L free on one of the stop).

The down side is you have to calculate it (preparation) and remember it (concentration) and execute it (without hitting accept by accident).
 
We've got the main lounge open.

At 19:00 GMT (45 mins from now) we'll ask all drivers to exit track and clear times and then return to track to begin a 10 minute open qualification session.

I dropped three positions right at the last corner, not because of fuel, but because I started spinning uncontrollably :banghead:
 
I'm sorry guys, but I can't make it. Work crossed my plans :(
Have fun.
Will try to join tomorrow.
 
I'm almost done with engine run in , 2 more laps / 10 minutes of SSRX left.

Will be there at at the start / middle of quali.
 
We're going to hold on quali about 5 minutes... JTV is also MIA.

So we won't start the race until at least 15 past the hour for those that want to jump in at the last minute.

EDIT: Quali has started.
