GTPlanet iRacing Touring Car Cup. *interest*

Ok! Server going online in the next 5 minutes! 1hr practice/20 min quali/30 min race!
Gonna be an open server so no password required!
 
You Sir, are a gentleman! :)

Unfortunately, I have no headset at the moment (a new one will be delivered this week) so it'll be keyboard only...
 
No worries man! Keyboard here too!
Server is up guys! Let's have some fun!
1hr practice/20 min quali/30 min race!
 
Excellent fun! :) Cheers for hosting Jav 👍

Never seen so many jump starts (me included) lol

Bring on the Championship!
 
Lol!! Sorry for the mess guys! I think I started that chain reaction!!
Had a lot of fun, and it is confirmed! Curtis is not from this planet!!
 
Did you guys ever seen this before? He was with us today

Nope! Never seen that before... That person seemed to be driving the sim for the first time...
 
yea I saw him too, I was confused he seemed really good at first and then he started to run off track and spin out. Then he was good again IDK lol.


Also I forget who it was (I think it was the guy that finished it 2nd), his fastest lap was like 4 mins but his average lap time was half that????? how does that work.


I was in 1st after everyone had to go into the pits because of the false starts. Then we all stopped and did a "restart", so I was already a lap ahead. Then there was a wreck on the 4th corner I believe and one driver lost control and he started to regain control but he was crossing over into my line and I had no where to go. I ended up sitting in the pits for like 2:30:00 for tow and repair. I ended up 3rd at the end though lol
 
You don´t use password on the server?? That´s a recipe for having idiots coming in and wreck..

Next season i´m in on this series i think but hopefully we move away from diesel and FWD ;)
Mazdas are fun eh? :P

cool, I think I read that iRacing also sells a "commercial" license for their game. I would guess this is a computer gaming shop?



Edit...It looks like there is a commercial establishment in Bedford UK selling iRacing time
There are at least 5 RaceRoom Bedford UK pilot entries and I also found this site (assuming it is the one of the pilot? maybe not by the looks of the images?):

The official races will be passworded, this was just afun race and was left open to get some people in. Despite my stupidity on the start it was a lot of fun!
 
pardon my ignorance, there are too many pages in the thread to dig through, but has there been any updates as to when the series is starting?
thanks!
:)

Thanks Patrocles 👍

btw, every time I see your avatar, it reminds me something but i'm not sure what, isn't it from a music album? King Crimson, Genesis ?
 
ok this is becoming a big tease, when does round one start??? at least give us a ballpark of when you can be ready lol.


I vote for the miata instead of that *&%&*^%&*(&^%& jetta.
 
Like OLDSCKO... (Jeff) lol, i'd like to know if it's possible to change the Jetta for something else. And if yes, i'd like to propose:

Mustang
Corvette
Ford GT
Riley DP
Radical
Solstice
i'm less excited about the MX5 but could be ok

This is just an idea though...

Awesome!

Yes, as OLDSKOOL and Silva mentioned it is a famous painting by the Norwegian painter Edvard Munch, famous for works exploring depression, anxiety, death, fear in his paintings. The title given to the painting by Munch was Der Schrei der Natur (The Scream of Nature), but everyone calls it The Scream. check him out!

The painting has been a huge influence around the world. Perhaps you saw it in the popular Scream movies by Ghostface? His mask was based on Munch's The Scream.
 
The official, and definate, date for the start of this is the 25th of September, so just over a week. I do apologise for it taking a bit of time but I am sure it will be all worth it in the end!
I was hoping the choice of car wouldn't be a problem, I figured the closest racing I watch irl is BTCC, FWD touring cars, Jetta should be simalair, door to door touring car racing. Shame iRacing has no DTM or such. Didnt wanna pick anything too quick/hard to drive as it could become less fun in struggling to drive the car rather than focussing on racing eachother.
