about what time is the race

 

[MitchZ06]

Room opens at 8PM US EST as per the OP....

 

[marluxiaXI11]

ok then

 

[MitchZ06]

Looking forward to this race with the 12 car grid, lets just not have a pileup at the first hairpin....

Speaking of hairpins, there will be a support series hosted an hour before the main LMES race in the regular season hosted by our own TT13. It will be a GT3/4 style series and will be open to drivers from the LMES (priority spots) and the general public on GTP. The TTC Hairpin Challenge.

And one last thing, PSN maintenance is scheduled for tonight so make sure your signed into the network before it starts to ensure you can make the race. PSN Maintenance

Might be a little late to qualifying on this one. As soon as my wife gets home we need to hit up the grocery store. Should be back around 8:30? I'll try to be home a little sooner to avoid possibly having to postpone the race.

Looking forward to racing with everyone.

[MitchZ06]

Stay logged into PSN btw guys! PSN Maintenance wont allow you to log in once it starts...

 

[Sephy]

I'm excited!!

 

[Tower Turn 13]

ETA on the PSN maintenance anyone? eastern time? I want to reset my internet before the race to ensure I don't flatline.

 

[MitchZ06]

"The PSN maintenance that was meant to happen yesterday will be going ahead as of tonight. From 16:30 on Wednesday 1 June 2011 until 07:01 on Thursday 2 June 2011, UK time you will be unable to access the following services:

“In addition, you will not be able to sign in to PlayStation Network from eu.playstation.com. If you wish to play online during the maintenance, please ensure you sign in to PSN before 16:30 on Wednesday 1 June 2011.”

 

[Tower Turn 13]

Cool, though I have no idea what time zone that is. Is it ok if I reset my internet now?

 

[MitchZ06]

UK Time Clock
Not sure if that applies for the US tho...

 

[Sephy]

How many laps are we doing tonight? I'd like to do more than we did at Madrid if possible. I'd like more practice with everyone on track .

 

[MitchZ06]

As I posted earlier it'll be 40 laps (41 including pace lap).

BTW, I will be using my lounge from now on to host the races, will stop the annoying randoms from joining the room and having to kick them....

 

[Tower Turn 13]

okay well no matter what I'm going to have to reset my internet now, it won't let me into online rooms so hopefully it lets me...

EDIT: it supposedly signed me back in so should be OK...

Works now. Stupid seasonals always screw up my internet connection, don't know why.

 

[IndyWolf]

Do I have to add you mitch or are you gonna post room #?

 

[MitchZ06]

I thought I already sent you a request on PSN?

Have now!

 

[IndyWolf]

1500kg and 500 hp right?

 

[MitchZ06]

For the Zonda? Run 1500kg if you want but it should be 1300kg.

 

[MitchZ06]

Lounge is up, LMP qualis have finished, GTE has started, still waiting on a couple of drivers.....If you dont get on track in 8 mins you will miss out.

 

[tatoune]

Nevermind

 

[tissimo]

Was a good race, here are the results

 

[MitchZ06]

5th in class....ahwell, always next time

Atleast the NRGR cars finished together in positions but the switch back to orange was like some sort of magnet....pitted twice in 2 laps from contact with each other, great way to go as a team....lol

 

[Tower Turn 13]

Not doing as good as I'd hoped. Need a better pit strategy. Double stints with no tires isn't working because sliding causes those who pit to catch up within some odd laps anyway.

Thought for sure I had mitch and flyin after their accident and pit, but lost a ton of time on low tires.

Also what happened to the R8s? Are there any in this series still?

 

[MitchZ06]

Jepoks is still in and freshseth swapped to the Zonda.

Tatoune sorry man but I'm not interested in having to kick randoms, especially if its GTE qualifying and I'm trying to set a time. We can use your lounge next time if you think it might help?

TT13, can you take some shots of the first racing lap? Should be some good ones of the back of the GTE grid getting mugged by Corvettes before some accidents happen.....

 

[Tower Turn 13]

Looks like the order is like this:

LMP
1 Marluxia
2 Sephy
3 Tatoune (DNF)

GTE
1 Tissimo
2 Indian Wolf
3 GTP_MPower
4 posiloan
5 Mitch
6 FH
7 TT13
8 Seth


I'll take some pics for ya tomorrow

 

[MitchZ06]

Cheers man!

 

[IndyWolf]

Well I did good for my 1st trial run, 2nd in series just couldn't catch tissimo

P.S. Sorry to GTP i hit the brakes a little late sorry for the bump thought it was a tap.
