IZOD IndyCar Series | Cancelled, S2 to Follow in January 2012

[Knelly]

Yeah, no problems. Think we owe it to him, as well as the series :tip: Legend!!!

Plus, as I seem to always get engine damage in the pace lap, I may even spend some of mine using his pit crew

 

[DrifterJoe]

Yeah, we need to try and stay a bit more spaced out during the pace lap/caution laps, until it comes to pitting or the start/restart.

 

[LVracerGT]

The US series is supposed to have No aids allowed. However I use a DFGT so it is easier for me to control the car. I also wanted to make it as realistic as possible compared to IndyCar which has no TCS. Then again they don't use ABS either. TCS will be allowed on road courses is the US series from now on, but will remain off for ovals.

I'll add to the OP so there's no confusion between series 👍

I have suffered engine/gearbox damage in both races I have attended as well. On the pace laps. Spacing does not seem to be the problem. The pole sitters pace or lack of it was the problem. Slowing to below forty on the straights (at Madrid) and letting the pace car get far ahead and then accelerating to 120+ to catch up with the pace car and breaking hard right behind it. If you are trying to form up double file and are a trailing car you are forced to follow suit. When you break hard behind the pole sitter the cars behind you can't avoid a collision.

Please. Pace car keep to the speed limit or slightly less. Lead cars NEVER go over the speed limit. Nor drop too far behind the pace car.

Edit: I didn't notice any ghosting so I assume this was not some artifact of lag time. If it was then we need to host at a US location.

Can I join?

Can I join?

We had quite a few no shows in the first race so I imagine if you show up on race day you may well be able to race.

You will probably be put on as a reserve but will have a very good chance of being in the race.

 

[MemorableC]

guys im going to have to drop out the times arent going to be possible for me consistently

 

[cgr-10]

No worries mate, that means Jakob can take your place. Care to fill in the sign up form? 👍

 

[DrifterJoe]

My continuous internet issues mean that I'll be dropping out of this series until I can get a new router.

As I said in the NASCAR thread, consider this my second GT5 hiatus.

 

[cgr-10]

Yeah I just saw it mate, I'm dropping the NASCAR aswell. Drop's public lobbies don't agree with me like his lounge does.

This is a real shame mate considering how much effort and time you put into sorting out the car specs and generally organizing the entire thing. Hope you can get this sorted ASAP buddy, see you around 👍

EDIT: Hopefully by sending the PM's the US should get a grid of at least 10 if not more. But with Joe dropping out the UK division is in serious trouble, we have next to no drivers and it's almost going to be pointless with 4 guys per race. We spent so much time sorting this out and I'd hate for it to just collapse, we are in dire need of UK drivers but I don't know where to start.

 

[berty1979]

Can any of the UK drivers make the US time?

 

[cgr-10]

You mean US make UK? I'm going to stress it in the next PM reminders I send out for Round 2. It's just slightly annoying that this thread has been viewed 11,615 times and only a handful of guys have signed up for the UK.

EDIT: On a lighter note, if any of you guys want some Friday night racing take a look https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=231904 👍

Okay thanks a lot, i'll put you on the OP as soon as possible 👍

 

[JakobNascar88]

No problem Tom!

 

[JakobNascar88]

Tom,

I think I mess up. My Formula is all green and yellow.

 

[cgr-10]

Ah ok, you sure? That means you'll be Team Lotus.

 

[JakobNascar88]

Okay, I will

 

[Cowboys965]

Should start getting ready for Laguna Seca

 

[cgr-10]

Definitely, you guys have fun tomorrow gonna send out the PM reminders for the US series tonight, hopefully you get a better turn out 👍

 

[LVracerGT]

Got a friend who's gonna join the Us series. Anyone got their setups ready? Should be a good race. The corkscrew is going to bring out a few cautions I think.

 

[cgr-10]

PM's have been issued to all registered US drivers with an invitation to race on Wednesday as well. Hope you get a good turnout LV 👍

 

[jimbobclay]

Sorry guys but I just found out that I have to go out of town tomorrow and won't be back until Wednesday .

I was looking forward to this and can assure my team that I will most definitely be there next week.

 

[ronin85]

Your team is sad , but oh well. See you next week buddy. I'm excited about the race tomorrow, even though I never do well at Laguna.

 

[LVracerGT]

I will be holding a 1 hour practice in my lounge tonight at 9pm EST

[ronin85]

I'm in LVracers lounge, if anybody in this series is around please join in.

 

[Cowboys965]

Sorry, had to go, but I will probably practice tomorrow how many drivers we got for tomorrow's US race?
