@Jw_wk1010 @sota59

I can open a room in a few minutes for you guys to get a qualifying session in. 30 minute session to set as many laps as you want. I can only do this now so if you're only available later I can't help out sorry.

 

[sota59]

Sounds good, watching NBA draft, so i have time.

 

[NoirAntares]

Damn. Nah fair enough... hope things go ok.

It's fine. You're starting behind me as is so it's all fine.

 

[DesertPenguin]

Sounds good, watching NBA draft, so i have time.

Actually the opposite of that. I'm on now and will only be for a short time. You will have to get @aceboy127, @damonc84 or @Clean Racer to open a lobby for you.

 

[sota59]

Dont care where i quali, just hope front of that thicc Gr3 field.

I don't see it either. @aceboy127 , who are the Lobby 1 and Lobby 3 potential Hosts? so everyone can make sure we're friends with them before tonight.
I want to be ready in case of last minute changes needed.
thanks Ace.

Yeah, sorry about not posting this sooner, but was waiting on official confirmation from the Lobby 3 Host.

• Lobby 1: @Antares26 / CWM_NoirAntares
• Lobby 2: @aceboy127 / aceboy127
• Lobby 3: @Clean Racer / GentlemanRacing

What is the formation lap procedure?

• The race will begin under a formation lap with a maximum speed of 120mph (193kph) up until the Porsche Curves (Virage Porsche). The field must remain single file before the Ford Chicanes (Virage Ford), with adequate space given to cars in front and behind to avoid any incidents.
• Once the field reaches the Porsche Curves, the field must slow the pace speed down to a steady 50mph (80kph). The overall leader will pick their preferred start side when coming out of the Ford Chicanes, with the rest of the field doubling up accordingly.
• Start zone will be from the secondary start/finish line to the gantry right after it. The race starts as soon as the leader accelerates from anywhere within the start zone.

 

[Spirit]

Start zone will be from the start/finish line to the gantry right after it.

There are two “start lines” on the front straightaway. Are we talking about the control line that the game uses for timing/scoring or the line at the front of the grid further up the straight?

The secondary start/finish line, not the timing line.

 

[TEX36]

Thank you for including the map - Had no clue where those curves were located.

 

[Spirit]

The secondary start/finish line, not the timing line.

Your response, along with reviewing the start procedure leads me to believe that this is accurate. Please do correct me if I am wrong.

 

[GTP_Nail]

Would all drivers in Room Three please make sure that you are friends with @GTP_Nail and @Clean Racer to save problems tonight

That is correct.

 

[GTP_Nail]

also... go to lemans coverage to 18:20 remaining and see that the Porsche curves are not an optimal place for P cars to overtake GT car.
If someone with great technical skills could put up the youtube of the incident it would be great. Short version... GT cars and P cars have intersecting lines. Bad place to attempt to pass. The GT car CAN NOT beam up out of your way.
