IRS | Toyota 86 Racing Series | Mondays 9p EST | BIG FINALE TONIGHT: Dragon Trail - Seaside II

Practice tonight you say. Hmm...

 

[racer_xis]

Hey guys. Might give this a go as it seems like a good way to ease myself back into online racing. Been a few years. I don't have the best internet (20mb DL / <1mb UL) so kind of using this as a test bed to see how it does before I attempt to start running my own leagues again...

Will confirm details tonight. 👍

My Internet is worse than this, I play from Brazil, and I dont have any problem with lag during races!
Welcome!!!

 

[DesertPenguin]

Sorry guys, no practice from me tonight. I'm still feeling kinda sick and barely being able to breathe has me pretty exhausted. We'll get something together before next Monday for sure.

 

[CodeRedR51]

That's fine, going to work on liveries until the server maintenance stops me from doing so.

 

[DesertPenguin]

What other nights of the week are you available? We can get together just to test connections if you want.

Most nights, don't usually work late.

What's the situation with wheels? Since an OZ Racing sticker is required I assume they can't be changed.

 

[DesertPenguin]

The default wheels are GR branded so either those or any OZ Racing brand wheels you like.

One more Q, it's sort of unclear. Number plates on the Gr4 car. Same spot as the GRMN or can we do a standard plate on the doors?

 

[DesertPenguin]

I didn't list any changes so I figured people would assume it's the same as the GRMN for everything unless stated otherwise. It's all good, I've had confusion with little things along the way. There's no license plate on the Gr. 4 and since a number would look weird on the front bumper I changed it to anywhere on the back. Anything else I can help you with?

I meant number plates on the doors. Not sure if they go by any other name.

I have it listed as required under the 86 Racing Series decal. This is the same for both cars.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Ready to go, assuming this number is available.

 

[DesertPenguin]

Those look really slick man, can't wait to race you on track!

 

[Maverick52]

Nicely done!

If you need anybody to practice with or whatever you can always ask me. I've been busy the last week so I haven't been on but I'll be available more starting tomorrow.

 

[aceboy127]

I fully intended on being on yesterday, but was stuck at work late. I'm hoping to get on this evening, to do some preparation for this and probably Trans Am.

No worries man we'll catch up sometime before Monday.

 

[Clean Racer]

I'm back. #93.

This looks like it will be a lot of fun.

Yea buddy! Can't wait to race you on track 👍

 

[Clean Racer]

Oh yeah. It will be some good stuff.

 

[DesertPenguin]

Sorry for being so last minute but I decided on St. Croix B for the season opener. 6 Laps in the GRMN and 24 in the Gr. 4 car.

Question to anyone listening, in the series or not: Would tuning on the Gr. 4 car be appealing to you? I want to keep the GRMN tuning prohibited so it stays a beginner friendly race.

 

[Clean Racer]

No tuning is my vote.

 

[racer_xis]

I dont know if ill be able to race this new schedule ,but if I could I would be against tuning

That's alright man. I'm sure you'll find some other good racing here. What nights are you available?

 

[aceboy127]

Let's stick with no tuning. I think it would make things more competitive.

 

[racer_xis]

The problem for me is the time, last season was already hard for me, and this new system will end a little later, I dont want to make you guys change plan because of me, I think its better to let it the way is better for the most part of the guys, I can participate eventually.

 

[DesertPenguin]

Season 6 schedule is up.

 

[Clean Racer]

Sign me up:
PSN ID = Gentleman Racing
Car # = 93

 

[DesertPenguin]

I have a throwback livery for the Gr. 4 car with the same color stripes but in a different style. Should look great on replays together

That's cool. I may do another livery. I'll post up when it's done.

Someone is missing from the drivers list.

Just ran a few laps on this to get familiar with it. Haven't driven this track yet. (not usually a fan of these types of tracks) It's interesting for sure.
