No, Texas, djackson, ABG, and someone who hasn't responded on the thread but I am communicating through PM is doing LMP. I made sure it was full before I took a car that I knew that no one else would take.

BTW with djackson's vote, the schedule is completely turned upside down.

1 Monaco (200km- 60 laps)
1 Indianapolis (200km- 48 laps)
1 Nurburgring F1 (200km- 39 laps)
4 Daytona (250km- 44 laps)
5 Fuji Speedway F (200km- 44 laps)
5 Grand Valley Speedway (200km- 40 laps)
5 Monza (200km- 35 laps)
8 Laguna Seca (200km- 56 laps)
-----------------------------------------------------------
9 Suzuka (200km- 34 laps)
10 Nurburgring 24 Hour (200km- 7 laps)
11 Le Mans 2005 (250km- 18 laps)

May I be the first to say I don't like the look of this schedule -_-

I thought we wernt even going to attempt monaco after that 2 lapper we had, i dont mind the tracks we going to besides that.

Are the endurance races going to be run last?
 
I'm the mystery driver in the LMP (GV5)! I'm still not 100% on running, but in absence of any reserves who need my spot I plan on joining the grid. I'm a married man, which means the wife holds the scheduling approvals and it's just hard to guarantee ill be at every race. I hope to see you gents on the track and let me know if anyone is practicing tomorrow.

I can hold a practice room pretty much any time I'm available... and that's a lot.

Well, two votes came in and both of them voted for Monaco, putting them on the schedule instead of SSR5 or Trial Mountain. :/
 
Well, you guys have voted, and here is the schedule! In a desperate attempt to remove a track from the schedule... it's not only stayed on, but it's also undisputed.
The final draft of the schedule.

Monaco (200km- 60 laps)
Nurburgring F1 (200km- 39 laps)
Daytona (250km- 44 laps)
Grand Valley Speedway (200km- 40 laps)
Laguna Seca (200km- 56 laps)
Fuji Speedway F (200km- 44 laps)
Monza (200km- 35 laps)
-----------------------------------------------------
Suzuka (300km- 51 laps)
Nurburgring 24 Hour (300km- 11 laps)
Le Mans 2005 (375km- 27 laps)

P.S. I REALLY HATE YOU NOW EQUITES!!!!

Thank Equites, djackson, and another that voted for Monaco instead of those two other tracks. :/ Still not as bad as voting TSUKUBA.

I might drop in on this if I have nothing going on. No specific car choice.

Sweet, hope to see you there!

Think I'll join in the corvette (GTS).

Nice to see someone take the #63 Vette.
 
I'd like to announce another delay...
I'll be up in the White Mountains until at least Saturday, maybe Sunday...
I'll probably have time once school starts, as ironic as that sounds.
 
Alright, this message goes out to Carnby specifically, but this can also apply to fresh, CJ, or whomever else this message could apply to.
I'm going to say this right now, I am a very crazy person. I typically never practice, never tune, never do anything, and I almost always guess how the car will handle on a certain track. When I lose, I have a very hard time accepting that I lost a race without going completely overboard with it, and let's just say, I don't like losing races... especially ones that I know I could win. Due to my background of driving in videogames with strictly stock tunes, including GT2-GT4, mainly GT3, the stock setup on cars is what I'm most comfortable with. Whether if the car is loose or tight, push or pull, horrible on tires or not, I'm usually able to handle it. Note the keyword... USUALLY. When I get emotional during a race, I will making a lot of mistakes, and it's easy for that to happen. Hence my nickname, "The Choke Artist." Under normal conditions, as you two have seen in countless shuffle rooms and other sources, I can pretty much drive any car to its full potential with the stock tune on the car. Is it the fastest tune? HELL NO! ANYONE on GT5 can outtune me. Hell, Carnby has me outtuned with every single car I've got. Only issue with that I that I'm one hell of a driver. Also Carnby has FINALLY came out of his turtle shell after 18 months, so now, he will always have a good shot at beating me. CJ. You are one of the few that can both outtune and outdrive me. However, usually, you can outdrive me because you outtune me so well, it's hard for me to figure out what to do. In three years of playing this game... I STILL haven't tuned a car to suit my driving style perfectly. So, you could pretty much say that I've been the one holding back the whole time... but then again... one could argue that I did spend a lot of time tuning for my WEC. Yes, but my cars were F A R from perfect. At Daytona, my Bentley was extremely sluggish on acceleration, and if I pushed it, I would've lit up the rear tires beyond belief. It sometimes bottomed out on the full throttle sections, and can I say how MASSIVE my understeer was through the bus stop? Also, I had the worst brakes by far. At Spa, my car was EVERYWHERE. Way too loose through any low-speed section, and it never turned in any high-speed section. It had no giddyup on the straightaway, but the acceleration was better. The tires were just getting blown through and there was just no way I could keep the car straight. Now, every car I drive is just pure understeer. So, I'm going to resort to things I've never resorted to before to get the turn-in and turn-out I want. If I can't get that to work, I just don't see the point in racing. I struggle week-in and week-out and yet still put up results like I have, and I'm done with it.

A- solid 91
 
I would help you, but i dont really know what im doing, i have standard setup on everycar, then i tweak it a little or a lot . But most of the time i just use random numbers on my standard setup to make it better for a specific car
 
Well... if my grandma didn't feel the need to trek me all of the way through Boston and Rhode Island on the way back, maybe, JUST MAYBE, I'd be home on Saturday for a normal start time at 7.
BTW Mt. Washington was worth the entire trip!
 
So your stuck there untill next sunday? Or are you back?

Hack, I'll be here at least until Saturday. I've been on top of Mt. Washington, and have traveled through NY, CT, MA, and VT. I've also gone into Maine, albeit slightly.

It was an eight-hour trip up to where we are right now... and the route we're planning takes us through Rhode Island. Do you know any highways that link 95 with 91/84 in CT, before the heavy traffic load in New Haven and points westward, that is.

Final day up here before we start heading home! We're going to go over Kangamungus (definitely misspelled) today for our final thing! Can't wait to jump back in!
 
Good damnit i really want to do that pre race.

Same. If I'm home on Saturday, which is what it's looking like, Carnby and I have some catching up to do on a couple of things, so I'm hosting a private server for him and me only.
If I'm home Sunday, depending on the time, that room will be up whenever I get home and get settled.

I got freshes race at 2 or 3 so around 6 or 7 pm would be good
 
I have a huge debt to make up at the Nurburgring 24 hour circuit. Only few will actually understand why. Only two people that are coming to this race knows what happened a year ago. This is just a message to the GTP class only, though LMPers can tune in as well. I go waaay back at this track, and I'm going to make sure that I far surpass what I used to do in this game. Think you've seen enough of me? I'm making sure that this race... is one that I can look back on and realize... DAMN! That was a turning point.

Or u could look back and say DAMN that was worse than monza

Sir, if I'm just concentrating on the road and nothing else, forget it.
I'm going back to my very foundations. I doubt I'll be very competitive for the next 1 to 2 months. I'm not looking to win anymore. This game has far surpassed me. It'll take an entire tour for me to get back up to where I've fallen from.
Hell, I'm just going for finishing races. No mistakes. Then start going for the money.
