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

[Rich S]

Is Knelly's lounge the place for USA series or are we doing it in LV racer's?

I'll race the UK Indy race tommorow. 👍 Sounds like there's a lack of participants.

US is in Knelly's lounge 👍

And thanks mate, we are a tad short on drivers.

EDIT: Just another quick thought for S2, however long away it may be. Streamlining to one division seems like the best plan of action, I'm sure we could find a time that suits US and UK drivers.

Have fun at Laguna guys 👍

What time is the US race at Laguna Seca?

 

[LVracerGT]

It will be in Knelly's lounge. Qualifying will start at 9pm EST. With the race starting at 9:30. Should be a good race. My team has been rebuilding a backup car all week and I've has no practice except for a test about a month ago would will have to do some quick settings adjustments when I get to the track tonight.

Test & Tune in my lounge

 

[cgr-10]

Just some quick reminders, the specs. Make sure they're correct.

Laguna Seca Specs:
Power: Detuned to 650hp
Weight: 175kg ballast on Road courses (725kg total)
Transmission reset to default, then put max speed at the bottom right to 180 mph, then put final gear at 4.200, and 7th gear should be at 1.769 .
Tyres: Comfort Hards and Mediums. You must drive at least 2 laps on each compound.
All other tuning: Unrestricted

And a general reminder to race clean, observe cautions, pace laps and pit lane rules. Have a good race, you should get a decent turnout judging by the number of my PM's that were read 👍

EDIT: Oh and don't forget to send on the results, and preferably times after the race LV. Note them down or something

 

[JakobNascar88]

okay thank you

 

[JakobNascar88]

Can you open the lounge now?

 

[Knelly]

Won't be able to set up my lounge for you guys. You can use it if you want but may be better in a US lounge. Happy either way 👍

 

[cgr-10]

I've told everybody it's in Knelly's lounge but i'm sure you can direct them elsewhere if you need to LV.

 

[JakobNascar88]

But I don't have LV's PSN

 

[cgr-10]

If you end up needing it it's LVracerGT but as of now the race is still in Knelly's lounge.

 

[Knelly]

You should be able to change everything you need in there. Just haven't reset my router since Saturday, but not sure if that will make a difference if I'm not there.

 

[JakobNascar88]

Why you cant set your lounge up Knelly?

 

[Rich S]

You can go into somebody's lounge and set the specs up at any time.

 

[cgr-10]

I don't think it makes a difference to be honest Knelly, should be fine 👍 streamlining into 1 division in S2 should solve all the confusion around rooms etc. Already learnt a lot of things I can improve upon next time

 

[LVracerGT]

It is still in Knellys lounge. I'm in right now getting everything set up

 

[Cowboys965]

Everyone in the US series please join LVracerGT's lounge, we need more people!

 

[LVracerGT]

Extremely disappointing race. Only 4 cars took the green flag, I got rear ended on the start and had to pit on lap 1, then with 8 laps to go I got disconnected. Race will be in my lounge next week.

 

[Niop]

I'm sorry I couldn't make it tonight, I got called back in to work. But it sounds like we needed more than just one more person tonight. I'll plan on being there next race, and hopefully more people can make it.

 

[cgr-10]

It seems like people have signed up and then just forgotten about it. The people who read the PM's could have at least replied and said 'i can't make this series anymore'. Really disappointed in some of those guys.

And yeah Niop, seems like we needed quite a few more.

EDIT: I know I originally proposed this for S2, but I think we should merge the divisions from round 3 onwards. It makes no sense running 4 car races, we just need to find a mutually convenient time 👍

 

[Rich S]

Well I'll head over for the oval races.

 

[JakobNascar88]

I can't do the races at 9:30P.M
Can you make it 7:30P.M?

 

[Cowboys965]

Maybe I can race in today/tonight's UK Indy challenge!

 

[lesoldham]

I don't know if the overseas connection is working. I was running 1:12's in my own lounge last night before the race. When i went to Knelley's lounge the track seemed very slick. I have run into this before with known weak connections. I couldn't keep from spinning even though I was running only 1:17's. Cowboys seemed to be having similar problems.

I'll see how it works in LV's lounge at Indy.

Really, I didnt know grip dropped with a bad connection. Even in races where I was lagging I was still able to go fast.

The closest thing I've experienced is when the frame rate drops in the room, I cant seem to go as quick. I loose 1-2 secs a lap it seems while some others can still keep their pace. I think thats more down to my brain not agreeing with the lowered ff though.

 

[ronin85]

I think we should reopen sign ups for the US series, we may get some serious people this time around since we have started the series already. I think the serious people need to see some progress before they commit the time.

 

[cgr-10]

I'm going to drop out all the people who have missed both races, harsh maybe but it has to be done. I'll advertise sign ups on the title 👍

 

[Knelly]

I'm very sorry guys. I'm too sick to race tonight. I'm going to have to let you down. The most I can manage is running Bspec Seasonal on and off, just to grind.

Very sorry.

 

[cgr-10]

Ok Knelly, get well soon mate.

Race will be in Knelly's lounge instead of a public room which will be open in 5 minutes or so 👍

EDIT: Room open for free practice, join!
