One week left guys.
Teams will take to the track at 10am EST for 24 hrs.
We'll have hourly updates and live position & lap times coverage. Some on GTP, and some at wurks.ca
Stay tuned for the fianl post so all of you know where to get in on the action!!

Wow, interesting practice today! Once again most teams were missing which is disappointing.

Kurt, can we get everyone to perhaps set their race setups up and do a ping test and send you the results? It will give you an idea on who is lagging 👍

Indeed it was! Different tire strategies. We have good hopes for the event! It won't be a walk in the park. Ring Bandits did really well!!!

We would like to thank all teams that participated in practice. For some it was at akward hours. We understand it is not easy for everyone to be present... However we hope they will be ready.

Sad news we already have lost 2 teams. But, it was expected since we chose not to screen the teams. This year is a learning experience for us and we planned next edition based on the current case study.

What we've learnt for sure is : There is a difference between people that want to participate and people that will participate (and finish the race).

This is not easy to organise. Since most teams will spend a tremendous numbers of hours practicing, we have to make sure this will be a success. This requires a stucture that will improve ressources (human, financial, hardware, software, etc.) to make it a great experience and push the limits of everything.

We want this event to be the greatest one using GT5. However it can't be done on a volonteer and free time basis.

Ok enough chit chat. Let's get ready!!!! Less than 5 days before the race and so much to do!

Has the race started yet?
The live feed isn't showing anything.

Sorry for the noob question I don't understand the time zone differences.

The countdown says 00.00.00 left but still nothing?

If it hasn't started yet how long until it does?
 
Good luck to everyone! I'll be away unfortunately during the race, but I look forward to seeing what happens!
 
The time for start is in 7hrs 39 min from my calculations 👍
 
Good luck to all drivers and teams competing today.
Whoever wins this race, my God, what an achievement.
Will be watching the whole way through this one, bit weird it being on GT5 and not an actual real-life 24 hour race, but, it's close enough :D
Once again, good luck all competitors 👍
 
Great work and a huge good luck to all drivers!

Interested to see if PD's servers will be kind and hopefully give you no issues.

Will be checking up on the race throughout the 24 hours to see how it goes.
 
My god. Let LukaX23 do the streaming. wurks stream is horrible. This is a fail, a grand fail. Lot of work done to organize this kind of race and then a failure to stream it, good job wurks.....NOT.

Yea, they need only someone with a decent upload speed & a video capture card who joins the lobby & host the stream. And maybe skips from time to time the viewing car and the camera perspective to keep it a bit entertaining. :)

No rocket science. :sly:
 
For Petes sake, the Wurks.Ca stream has no audio and the quality is kind of sucky. I am watching the ring bandits stream right now, instead!
 
I agree, I'd be watching it if it wasn't recorded with a potatoe..

No disrespect for the organization, it takes a lot of effort to plan an event like this. But the stream was not good at all, which is a shame because I was looking forward to this.

Agreed. Its a shame really, they should have assigned a dedicated camera crew BEFORE the race..
 
There is so much compression on that video. Its not even funny. I think i may just watch one of the Daytona 500's on iRacing
 
room is priviate so luka cant stream so this is a waste of time

Can't someone join from a room number? Then maybe we could get another/better stream.

Also, who is in charge of this now? The host hasn't been on gtplanet in over a week.
 
Ya it is a shame. I tired to do the streaming but it was too short notice :( Next year/race I will be streaming for sure.
 
Spent some time in Luka's room, was great fun. Real cool guy who wanted to help and would have commentated well. Not sure what works was thinking by ignoring him :/
 
Wow....


I just checked in on this race and I can't believe what it has turned into. I have to say, I would be furious at this point if I had actually formed my team, and trained for months, only to have it come down to just 4 teams in the race before even hitting the halfway mark. Also, more importantly, my other drivers who are not on GTP would be far more annoyed with me for wasting their time.... Kudos to all who stay in till the end, and "WTF!?!" to everyone else. After seeing how most of the teams have not taken this seriously and the miniscule amount of effort put into streaming it and screening the teams, I am infinitely pleased now that my team did not make it in. 👎 Everyone who HONESTLY put their time and BEST effort into this, deserves better than what it has become.
