I might miss if it's Tuesday. I work at 9pm, 11pm the latest. Can't afford to start a really long enduro and have to drop out only to miss out on $$$. But it's whatever the majority wants.

My only days off are Wed, Fri, Sat. But it's only preseason so I can either switch days with someone or just miss the race. Would suck for testing purposes but there aren't any points so whatever, I can just do some testing at whatever odd times people are around.
I prefer Sats for season only because I already scheduled work around these series (sad I know but true

After having so much tuning troubles with my ferraris, I LOVE my lambo. Drives La Sarthe like a champ!

so 3:57's are the best I can muster without drafting in the Zonda. The power on the top end really lacks what the Z has. I expect to be left in the dust like usual with high top speed tracks. Even the Z06 is faster. With the Z I was able to put down a 3:54.xxx for a lap. I donno if that's any good, but it was way faster than the Zonda. Ah well, lemme know if there's any adjustments to the HP/weight this week or not. See ya guys at the races.

I'm inclined to stick the TTR Nissan with more weight but we shall see....
Based on the last performance and the logic being used the Corvettes should lose weight but seeing as I know it was a monumental f up between myself and Flyin they will stay as is.
I would like to enforce other tuning restrictions like downforce and ride height (would slow cars down thru the corners) but the only way I can do that is scrutineering before the race having everyone send me their car so I can check it against the spec but that may not be possible as people can always just be dodgy and change things after they send the car...I would like everyones opinion on this as I would like to use it as another balancing adjustment.

Le Mans or Bust
NRG Racing has had many ups and downs throughout this preseason of the inaugural Le Mans Endurance Series and as yet have yet to record a podium position better than 2nd. Despite the current lack in form team owner and driver Mitch was upbeat about the round at Le Mans.
"We've had alot of success at Le Mans in the past and hopefully can continue that this week. We've had the team working overdrive to repair the damage the cars picked up at the race at Nurburgring and they're looking better than ever, we've been working on a new strategy for this race which should help us avoid unnecessary contact..."
Quizzed on what the new strategy might be he brushed it aside informing us of a new protocol the team have introduced that involves bank vault tight secrecy. "We dont want to give the competition any hints or ideas about what we're doing, we work hard on our strategies and whilst our previous plan did not come off this one should."
Even timing was not made available and any attempts to get a hold of data was met with much difficulty, tight secrecy indeed.
"We're running about some minutes and seconds per lap, thats all I can say."
Endurance running was not on the cards during our track visit so knowledge of how many laps per stint was not able to be picked up on. As only the #55 car was on track team practices were impossible to know.
All that can be gathered from the day watching the car go round was that it will be quick, very quick.

I'd really prefer no downforce/ride height restrictions because some of us use tunes from tuning garages and don't have the know-how to adjust if we have to raise up our cars and whatnot, while the greasemonkeys will find ways around the restrictions to make their cars fast through corners. Plus checking the cars each week would be tedious for everyone. Just my 2 pennies. It's your series though, man. Do what you think is best
