Might want to update the thread title.

 

[Whitey093]

Done!

I have now started work on a Special Livery for the Endurance event at Suzuka.

 

[Clean Racer]

Doesn't seem right on a BMW but I want to pay tribute somehow to the Japanese people and culture:

 

[Whitey093]

I've seen German or British cars with American flag roofs so I wouldn't worry about that. The livery looks fantastic as usual. I may commission you for a Suzuka livery if I can't find inspiration. I have a Barcelona livery. It's basically just a color change of the existing livery. I'd like to do something a little more dramatic for Suzuka.

Thanks!

I just got an idea for the McLaren! I'll post a pic soon.

I love it. Could you please throw a number 92 on there and remove the driver name and then share it? I would love to drive that at Suzuka.

Side note, anyone remember what times we ran at barcelona last season. Got some quality practice in tonight and the car felt fast but who knows unless I have something to measure against.

So, you don't want any driver name at all? If I share it with the driver name your PSN will appear when you apply it.

 

[Whitey093]

Oh I did not know that. I just didnt want to assume your identity. I'll take the name.

Please confirm your attendance by "liking" this post.

Catalunya - Turn 1 at the start of the race can be highly treacherous and lead to severe carnage across the grid. I ask that drivers keep that in in mid at the start.

I look forward to racing with you all.

I fully intend on being there but there are some things going on at work that may preclude me from making it. I really wont know until Monday afternoon if racing will be possible. Will keep you informed though.

@Clean Racer did you do the group photo last week?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Suzuka livery. Color change, local sponsor on the hood.

Negative.

I want as many of the regular drivers there.

Barcelona is tough :/

 

[CodeRedR51]

Randomly threw this together.

 

[Clean Racer]

Update!!

I had forgotten to update the "Ballast Allotment List" at the top of the standings page.

I just finished it and it's posted. My apologies guys.

Please be sure to review prior to entering the lobby on race night.

For Spa:

 

[Whitey093]

Spent almost 2 hours practicing last night and running different pit strategies. I felt like I was getting everything out of the car and I was super consistent lap to lap. I really honestly felt like my pace was going to be competitive, but then I checked the replay from last season and saw the times everyone was running. Oof. Everyone was running mid to high 52's even myself in the Vette. My best time in the McLaren is 53.0 so far with very little drop off in pace over a full fuel stint though. Hopefully the track is less kind to the tires of the fast cars over 90 minutes to keep me close.

I am in the same boat, buddy. Except I am not consistently in the 53's throughout a sting. It's going to be a rough race for me...again.

Well penguin is maxed on ballast which could affect his tires. The viper and ferrari have tire wear issues. I'd watch for that Vette to be strong here. If you manage your tires you have a chance. When the tires go, the tight turns get rough especially the last series of turns. I am still undecided if I should try to stretch my tires for entire fuel runs or if I should add a stop and shorten my stint lengths. I ran entirely alone so I wonder how traffic is going to play in during the race. Passing can be tough especially if people are driving defensive early.
