Mike and I have a practice room open if anyone wants to join. We have some non snails in the room interested in racing tonight also.
 
Ugh - work is keeping me really late tonight, we've got a major deadline for tomorrow - good chances are that I'm not racing tonight.

Non-SNAILs are welcome if you can vouch for their cleanliness. Just give me a heads up when/if they enter the lobby so I don’t give ‘em a boot.
 
brad and i had an awesome race that lasted 1 hour and 25 minutes. It was crazy close and both of us made it through the bus stop unscathed! That was some intense fun, i trailed at one point 5 seconds and gained it back to 2 seconds to the second to last stop it was nerve racking trying to find a way to get to his pace. I got lucky with the win tonight, brad had my number.

Yeah that was awesome, definitely the most fun I've had during the endurance series so far. I kept slowly growing the lead, only to see you get closer after every pit stop (because you were fuel saving and I was fuel guzzling).

It looked like @MikeGrove and @keepitsteady had us by about 1/2 second a lap, but they couldn't avoid getting eaten by the bus stop.

Yup! Decision has been made. Sorry for the wait, guys. I planned on having this done yesterday at the latest but it’s been a busy week.

NEW COMBO FOR 1/29/19

Car: Jaguar F-Type Gr. 4
Track: Mount Panorama Circuit (Time of day- 17:00)
Tires: 3x (RH, RM, RS)
Fuel: 4x
 
Interesting choice mate.

Yeah, I tried to pick something that should give us a few variables to deal with and based on the testing I did, there are two legitimate strategies that could be in play here which is something I don’t think we’ve had in a while. Also, the car is smooth around this track and really grips the road. It’s a lot quicker on the straights than I thought as well.
 
Any practice runs planned tonight?
Headed to GTS now.

I’m glad you guys seemed to like the combo, and I’m even happier that things were close since that was what I was aiming for (I believe the top five were separated by only 40 seconds, pretty good for a 90 minute race). I know this track can be tricky and while I personally love it, I know not many others do so I wanted to at least pick a car that was fairly easy to handle with all the twists and turns but still fun to drive. Unfortunately, I caught the grass twice in the same spot just before the downhill esses which took me out early on. But I did manage to have a nice battle with @TEX36 toward the end which was fun, and seeing the blue blob of cars on the mini map kept things interesting too. Add in the fact that we had a pretty good turn out, and I I’d say we had a pretty good night of racing 👍
 
Okay so I know that the choice is mine but I was wandering if any of you had a suggestion for either track or car....

@soundtiger95 @Neutty @MikeGrove @BradESPN @TEX36 @Sean Renon


I've been practicing Maggie GP II for today's FIA race, and it's starting to grow on me... it's one of the tracks that are fun to practice because it always seems like you can squeeze another tenth out of it (lots of barely lifting and slight braking, at least for Gr. 3).
 
You could do Gr.2’s at blue moon
BOP on
Boost on high
Slipstream on high.
Pack racing to the end to see who’s the luckiest
