Let's have a strong showing for team Denso! If only our other teammate would participate also.
Panoz has qualified also

Wow, totally didn't see his time pop up on GTP. I guess that's what I get for not checking the PURE site.

was in one of the updates earlier today... probably at least a page back.
was going to get it in the morning when we're "official" and I bump Adam's time off the top.
also:
Both pole sitters will want the left side of the road I assume?
Using the normal S/F timing line?
Any special rules we need to get out of the way?
p.s.
(remember to watch out for the pit bug, go in slow it's not worth it to be a hero)

It's only an issue if the car taps the wall when making the turn. If so, the car resets back.
I'll emphasize again. If you haven't done so already, get some laps in with the braking markers knocked down. Also, play it smart by backing off if you think you'll go wide. A half a second loss in lap time is much better than twenty seconds plus a pit stop for damage. In order to finish well, you gotta finish.

Important for Europeans
Time changes back to UTC/GMT +0 for you. So Europeans will gain an extra hour when they set their clocks back to Midnight once their clocks hit 1:00 am tonight/Sunday morning. Which means! the race is going to be on an hour earlier than usual for you. In Britain, the time for the greenflag of the race was 7:00pm(18:00 +1 UTC/GMT) during European Summertime, it will now be at 6:00pm(18:00 UTC/GMT)
Only Europeans are affected as most of the rest of the world changes time on November 4th, be aware!
Refer to this link in order to be absolutely sure you know what time you need to show up and race. At least 30 minutes prior to the time listed, which is the green flag time!

@Steve
Do your rooms hold up well with Europeans and do you exactly understand the tech inspection procedures as described in the hosting guide in the op?

I can't race tomorrow. Gotta use this one as a drop.

I've had 16 person rooms with roughly equal ratio of Euros to 'murricans, with mics on, and been lag free. Did a quick speed test, 39.72 down, 1.97 up, 32 ping.
I've never actually done a full spec check before, but the way you have it in the OP makes it almost foolproof.

Goal tomorrow: stay on track, finish at least one spot better than I started. Which seems to be 15th...again. (and even with a correct spec car, imagine that)
qualified 1.2 seconds off pb and this is probably the worst track for overtaking

Heum, to that who put me on the sheet, I'm not in this series.
Never mind. I was looking at Fuji.
Anyways, good luck to everyone tomorrow. I predict three things:
1. Tony winning
2. 1 stopper being the right strategy
3. At least two people having their races go bad at the kink
Agree on 1 and 3, but less sure about 2.
At Fuji, a one stopper was the quickest. I haven't tried Laguna (hopefully I get time to do it). But I wouldn't be surprised if a two stopper is faster if, and its important if, there are no other cars around. Given that Laguna is such a difficult track to pass at, question is if a two stopper can make good use of fresher rubber, or if he will be stuck behind a slower driver on worn tires.

2 stopper seem like a good choice initially.. But on this track, getting caught in traffic is the last thing you want. And a 2 stopper will most likely put you in that situation. Like what happened for the 2-stopper guys at Fuji.
A 1 stopper will be the fastest way to go..
There's always if's and but's around how to pick a strategy.
There's a possibility that a "tweaked" 2 stopper might work out well for guys in the back of the field.
One thing that I really really like with the longer tire life in combination with our race distance is the fact that you can decide when to pit more on how the field is spread out than when your tires are dead which was the case pre 2,08.

Yes, his name wasn't on Pure though so we couldn't add his time.
I made a tune for the Z at Laguna Seca, really helped me run it more consistently in the 20's.

Just a heads up. Hurricane Sandy is headed towards Jersey tonight. They usually are nothing by the time they reach the jersey shore, but just incase my power goes out before or during the race I wanted to let yous know. Cya at Laguna! (hopefully)

Are we starting the race like last time or we have regular start from space?
Laguna have only 6 regular space for cars on her straight line.
