Wow I just turned my 1st laps in my GT300 Class Cusco and man I'm going to like this series! I don't know if you guys watch Moto 2 from the MotoGp series, but I'm guessing the dog-fighting will be close to that.
Midway thru P1 session:
1:57'82x is my best time (so far(no tuning yet)), and it looks like a 1 pit stopper for us GT300 since I'm only off pace by 2 secs at the half-way mark with shot tires, but I haven't clocked the 2 stopper yet so I'm not counting out anything just yet'
I would like to qualify Thursday afternoon or night, Race Stewart's?

What chassis you running again? I got 1 more tweak for speed out of my chassis, and then I will add my front downforce back to the car and most likely get a sec out of that'

I always use full downforce

In the Speed Route X, no front df gives you nice accel over full, but that benefit never carries over into a real race. I'll be running full df too'

ya, ovals you want less downforce, road courses there is just too much corner speed to be lost lowering your downforce, even at places like monza and lemans.
What are all the 500 guys running?

I've reached the end of my P1 session and found about 2 secs more with tuning. I finished up with a 1:55.226. My biggest improvements were my shot tire lap times that came down. I'll launch a P2 session tomorrow for the pit stop test, but I doubt I'll find quicker lap times without a drafting buddy'

Makes sense. I did about 4 runs and got a 154.1 out of mine. And I normally struggle in finding time in low speed chicanes.
I'll prolly qualify tomorrow even tho I won't be here this weekend, I just want to stick up a time so people can see where everyone is at.

I plan on doing some running tomorrow morning/afternoon. Going to qualify for the mock race and will be available to any of you that would like to get your Q runs done 👍
Also to those of you that enjoy racing with us, we have another great GTRRL series that we are getting going that will race on Friday nights. It's a more laid back series as it's default tune and everyone drives the same cars (separated by paint/numbers). I know the time of the races is late for the international drivers but if your interested go check it out 👍

Just bumping a couple things:
Also Qualifying is now open for this week's mock race. This will be the post that will be used for the qualifying results. It is going to be this Saturday at 7ET (Our normal race time for this series). It will be at Monza, the site of the 2nd circuit on the schedule.
We are going to try to treat this event as if it was the official race. Given this we are going to qualifying the way we will do it all season (see the OP for details on that). This will give everyone a 'practice week' to get ready for how the GTRRL does things. Qualifying for the mock race will be open starting right now going all the way to 12 hours before the race starts.
The chart below will be the an example of how we will record the results. This will be updated as the week goes forth and when a new page is made I will quote this post
It is possible we may offer the winner of these races a lock in spot into Room A for the first race of the season. Stay tuned on that info. Any questions just let us know.
To qualify you can either PM a steward here on GTPlanet, post a post on here with a public room number for a steward to join, or if you are friends on PSN with a steward you can PM them on there. Below is the list of Stewards that can qualify you (as of now)
GTPlanet name (PSN name)
- XxShaggxX (Xx-Shagg-xX)
- DragonGT83 (same)
- KingBestJr (same)
- gtpanoz (panoz38)
- Infernothefox (InfernoTheFox)
As we get closer to the beginning of the season we will probably add a few more. Note that Stewards must qualify with other Stewards
Also to those who are on the fence about which class to run, you are allowed to run a qualifying attempt for both classes then choose one to race in for this mock race. You can use this mock race week as an opportunity to choose which class you want to run.
And this:
ALSO BIG NOTE: Make sure that you are practicing and qualifying on the NON WEATHER CHANGE version of Monza. That is what the stewards will use during qualifying and race so make sure that you are practicing in the right elements

I'll try and join ya, will be busy in morning hunting down a job etc. to start rolling in the funds again. So prob afternoonish I'll be on to join ya.
Since 2 of the 300 drivers won't be joining us most likely, I'll be sending out invites to everyone I know that I haven't invited to join us in 300s. And how I do in that series we will see, I'll be practicing for next years finals more then I will be for the league, but will still be here to be a pain in your rears

I just ran my qualifying lap with Inferno for the 300s. Ran a 1.54.069. Actually was my PB so I guess I did it when it counted haha 
For the 300 guys looking for more time here is my splits from that lap. That won't be good enough for the pole but it is still a quite solid lap IMO
Split 1: 33.310
Split 2: 37.872
Split 3: 42.887
Compare your splits and see where you can pick up the most time. Next thing you know your right on top of it 👍
I know personally my biggest struggle is the first sector. I can easily go from right at my PB split to 3 tenths off. I always seem to over or under brake into the first chicane

Panoz,
I'll be on around 6pm PST to do some practicing. I would like to run a few with my RX-7 team mate if it's posible. I'll Practice with any of the Dark Horse Sport team.

Nice lap. That's 1 am ET but there normally is a steward or two on at that time. King, Dragon are on generally at that time and sometimes panoz is.
