I'm looking forward to this one... I just hope everybody makes it through the first corner unscathed.

Regarding hosting: Sure, I can host... I'll try and have the room open at least one hour before green flag.

It would be good if we could get at least 6 people in the room early on so we can test this new procedure I mentioned earlier in the thread 👍

To clarify:

1. We reset the track (to erase any timed laps that were made previously)

2. We join the track in free run mode and get in position as per our quali times (no-one must put in a timed lap - the leader should just drive to the first corner and remain stationary until everyone else has lined up behind him)

3. We start the race and wait for the countdown

4. With luck, the PD servers will have replicated the order from free run mode and we'll all be in our correct positions for the race 'proper' (the test race, that is).

5. We continue as per usual with the leader controlling the pace during the formation lap.

6. et Voila! (I hope)

I hope that's clear enough for everyone to understand...if not, fire away with your questions.

FAQs:

Q: What if the actual leader doesn't show up in time for the practice run?
A: We go ahead but the next fastest person, according to the quali times, takes the pole position (for test purposes only). The same goes for any other driver who isn't present at the time of the practice procedure - the next fastest driver will take their position (again, for test purposes only).

Q: What if the actual procedure doesn't work, will we go ahead and use it anyway for the actual race?
A: No.

Q: What if people lag out during the practice?
A: The show must go OOooon. *in the style of Queen*

Q: I'm confused, where can I go to get some help?
A: PM HortusIX by clicking this LINK

Q: Hortus has explained it but I still don't understand, what should I do?
A: :banghead:

That's ok supra. It's a same class race and i'm in the GT300s so I won't be hosting the room you'll be in as you're in the GT500s and there'll be a separate GT500 host for you...so no need to panic.

I'm interested to know how you've come to the conclusion that you're safer in the pits though - current regs state that you're meant to stay in the pits till the race starts anyway, so how have you got anything to compare it too? Have you been naughty and snuck out of the pitlane during entry?

Have all stated that they wont show this week.

So, where's the rest??

UAE_ReDLiNe, RASG809, MrDrift98, tony1311, GTP_Raagentreg, RedReevos, Silent_4_Hill, KamyKaze1098, Hutjung?????

I think it's apretty decent turnout. But we need to improve our communication in here. It's not hard to post: "I can't make this round, see you next week. 👍"

So please, a short post like that will remove a lot of headake for me, Wardez and Masi_23. 👍


MrDrift98 said he can't race in this series dont know why??

CRAZY-SWEDE
So, I got pole with my 1:44,615?

What speeds you hit on the straights?


Fwiw I ran almost a second faster in the ARTA NSX then my GTR.

It make some serious MPH on the straights.

That's why it's best to test the procedure first...if it doesn't work in practice then we won't try it for the race either.

I'll post my earlier post again but nearer the time.
 
Moleman would agree i wonder if we can beat him since hes got that much weight ;)
 
Let's form a single-file draft train and pass moleman on the front stretch.... then consequently crash on the first hairpin and give him the win :D
 
I thought I'd share this with you guys, just to get you in the racing mood 👍
My first test with the Carrera GT3 cup car at Mantorp Park.
Very slippery test as it had rained in the morning. :D

Sweet, are you racing in carrera cup?
 
Argh so jealous. Great driving though - are you just testing the car, or are you due to race it too? Also great choice of circuit. 👍

Also do you need another driver? :sly:
 
I'm retired now, that test was from 2008. I was in a race
that year in carrera cup scandinavia at Karlskoga 👍
Just some random racing nowadays :(
 
Awesome vantage point Dani! I would give my left tes.... errr... thumb's fingernail just to be in your seat.

Didn't know you race professionally 👍

edit: tree'd
 
Many thanks to Owens for sending me a bunch of gear last night. I now have no idea what to decide from in terms of suit.
