PURE 2.4 Hours at Daytona (Jan 28th)

[w-g-e]

You're adding weight and losing aero, and then putting more power on which puts it at 600 PP.

My power limiter is already at 100%..

 

[Dr_Watson]

sorry that was an older spec. it should be 1120 I've fixed it in the OP.

Ok, thanks.👍

 

[harrison1476]

When are you able to do some testing?
I'm free all of my evenings... That would be afternoon for you I guess. And I'm free all thursday. What's your timezone (GMT)?

Yeah, I was in a hurry this morning and I apparently posted from an old spreadsheet. I put up pretty pictures to clear up any ambiguity.

I'm not 100% sure I can make it. That is what reserve is for right? Or am I misunderstood?

ah, 'reserves' are generally used to fill the grid if people are missing on race-day.
I'll just put you up and if it turns out you can't make it give a shout and I'll scratch you off.

[harrison1476]

@ DR_Watson: Are we going to have any practice sessions before the day of the race? Also, do we already have hosts for the race, If not, I am a capable host, have a perfect internet connection that never goes out... If you need any help I am able to

 

[w-g-e]

Schedule:

12PM EST Track opens (room number will be posted here)
12:30PM EST 20 min Qualifying Session
(10 minute rest)
1PM EST Race Start
*(EST = GMT/UTC -5)

Your answer.

 

[harrison1476]

Your answer.

LOL. I know, I meant like before the day of race, probably should have said practice sessions, before day of race for multiple ppl to join.

Edit: post above updated.

hehe... it's right below what he quoted.

I also plan on hosting a long open practice session Friday night.
Should be a room open from ~6PM-11PM EST.

As far as hosting goes, I figure I'll probably host the GT race (driving whatever car isn't well represented) and I should be able to rope Wardez or CSL into hosting the prototypes.

 

[w-g-e]

I thought it said quali session.

 

[harrison1476]

Alright nice, I can be there from 3-5:30 PM PST, Then I have to host for my Super GT club race, its the last pre season race Anyway thank you, I am very tired so sorry for missing that, I stay up too late and have to wake up at a very ungodly hour for school LOLZ. 7 AM, anyway thanks for clarification. <probably spelled wrong, LOL SO TIRED.

 

[w-g-e]

@ Dr_Watson: Ok, So if I was running the car stock at 1:49.xxx then at max 1:44 should be pretty easy, Ok thanks

@ w-g-e: Ok, will look into it tonight, do you mind adding me on PSN, If you join my lounge I can figure something out, I am a pretty good tuner, I was running with tyre wear on and stock tuning, and was getting about 15 laps pushing with the hard tyres, I think if I took it easy 25-30 laps is pretty easy, I'll find out tonight though.

You have to explain that to me..

But.... It says the room open at 12PM EST, which means 9AM PST.

Did you do the time zone change backwards maybe?

He's talking about the friday night practice.

 

[harrison1476]

He's talking about the friday night practice.

Yeah thx

 

[CSLACR]

So I signed up for the WSR vs ORCA races about a month and a half ago. (Sat - 2PM EST )
Waiting for word if I can be replaced or not, just letting you know doc. That will have to take preference if I can't, as I signed up for that first.

Really wish I could do both.

 

[Müle]

How have I not seen this until now? Definitely in!

[CodeRedR51]

I still need to drive the car. Will definitely do the friday night practice, but won't be there until 7:30 or 8:00 MST.

 

[harrison1476]

Yeah, Need to break in my car, only have 100 miles on it, did a few races at Daytona Road, it is a very fun track.


@ Dr_Watson: 1:44's? Very good time 👍 I'm running 1:45.2 with insane push, I think I could run 1:46.9 /1:47's to keep my tyres out as long as possible, but yeah great time.
Also, how many people are going to be in the room? maximum, 12? Because of bug, if we have 12 in each room for prototype/gt rooms...
