Oooh ok. So dragon starts on pole...

At the moment he would roll off first. Still have zues and panoz and maybe tiernizzle still to go.

Also note to all drivers who will be in room b. I hope all of you still show tomorrow. It will be best for all room b drivers if all of you show. Plus you need the points 👍 plus you guys may even finish better overall if people quit or lag out or whatever in room a

My pace in the 300 is terrible. I'm like ~2s off you guys. Can't really figure out why, either. My best time was like a 54.8, which is still miles off.

Also, I realised that my car isn't fully broken in, would it be allowed for me to change my power limiter settings to make sure I run at the correct hp? I don't think I get any advantage by not having a broken in car lol.

So yeah I need someone to watch over my qualifying laps today please, if a steward can contact me via PSN, I'll be online quite a lot today even if I'm playing another game. 👍

EDIT : OH! I forgot, can I switch to the WedSport '08? Sorry for that.

If you are in the 54's you wont have to worry about being competitive that's fast enough, welcome to the mid-pack!

During your q runs that's normally when you run your pb. I'm glad you chose to be mortal for once on your actual run...

What about zeus and boshuter?

EDIT: never mind just saw them on the spreadsheet

We have 26 drivers signed up and ready to go. Should be good racing this week...

Sad to say, I've already qualified.... and it was total meltdown. 👎 I was 1sec off my average practice times.

I watched that 1:53.1 that dragon did.... amazing!

Do people in a GT500 team need to use the same car? I ask since tensor said he'd be willing to join my team, but he's in the Castrol Mugen while Brad is in the Raybrig.

Yep same car mate. They are internally the same car so either one can switch and use same tune

Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks for the clarification.

No problem bud 👍

The 500's are looking good with those weight penalties, I'm looking at you Immortal.
Hopefully me or Jett will take it for Alt+F4 though. Looking foward to it, and I'll see you guys tomorrow night!

It looks everything is set for this weeks race. This weeks race will be 50 Laps.

Just a reminder on how things will work. We will have the room open probably 30 minutes before 7ET that way we can get things set up and make sure everything is operating. We will probably get the race started closer to 7:30 just depends when everyone gets into the room. (Also takes a bit to do all of the regs). Be sure to follow my instructions when we are doing regs so we can get through it as smooth as possible.

When we are doing the pace laps remember that it is staggered rolling start so you are to keep a car length inbetween you and the next driver. Here is an image describing how to this:

Credit to PURE for the image​

500s will go first on the parade lap and will be allowed to get about a 20-30 second gap. Pace speed is 70 mph and is up to pole sitter to keep this speed. When the leader hits the start finish line that when everyone goes full speed. THERE IS NO PASSING before the start finish line.

Anybody in red on the qualify chart means they have indicated they won't be there. The room a drivers have been adjusted for this fact.

The people above the black line are racing in Room A and people below the line will be in Room B. We will have a full room b consisting of the full scheduled distance of 50 laps. On paper we should have about 5 500 drivers and 4 300 drivers. It is important that all room b drivers show up to ensure the best product of racing for all drivers involved. We will also be tracking the laps done so if someone in room a exits early in the race, anybody who finishes more laps in room b will be given there position. Also the winner in room b will be given a points boost so you all are fighting for something.

If you are in Room B stay tuned cause if someone in Room A doesn't show up they could be upgraded to Room A. People in room b will have priority based on qualifying results.

Good luck! 👍

Hope you enjoy your experience and are here for the long hall mate!

Thanks man. I know I'll enjoy it, just hoping I'll be able to enter all the races.

 

[alefin]

So who is or who wants to host Room B?

 

[XxShaggxX]

So who is or who wants to host Room B?

Still looking for someone. Anyone with a reliable internet for sure. I know Chris will be there and he's gonna help with results and stuff but prolly shouldnt host. Anyone else want to? King or Dragon also try to get ahold of Inferno tomorrow to see if he can observe room b and help with procedures.

 

[Slideways88]

Ill be there this weekend but sad part i aint at home im at my dads so internets not as good but i can try n host if i need to. And whos in each room? Im confused

 

[Bennen13]

I could possibly host if you want, I've got a decent internet connection.

 

[Bennen13]

Sorry for the double post, but I've got a question. Do the cars have to meet the power limiter level requirements, or just the required hp?

 

[XxShaggxX]

Sorry for the double post, but I've got a question. Do the cars have to meet the power limiter level requirements, or just the required hp?

Required HP. But fully broken in the car should meet the percentage

Above black line = room a. Below = room b.... Simple aye...

Thanks, a bit of relief there since my GT-R is brand new.

 

[KingBestJr]

I can tell you this we dont need a host for room A Dragon will definetly be hosting all races unless for some reason he cant be there any given week. If not i would host but as long as dragon has internet and is here his connection is great. Great showing this week guys!!!!
