Ahh brad. I meant midnight my time. Can I still change it? If so here it is.


Alsace 20:30
Tires x1
Fuel x4

Toyota Gr.1 TS030 ‘12

Sorry all it took longer to get home than I thought from South Dakota. Let alone the meeting went longer than it should have.

 

[Neutty]

I totally forgot about end of day meaning east coast time.

Yep that’s fine with me.

Anyone interested in a 50-min run tonight?

Should be able to do that normal time ?

 

[Herimopp89]

I'm down for it

 

[TEX36]

Be great if we had a good mix of the D-1, D-2 cars.

 

[Nick Cannella]

What time?

 

[Sean Renon]

Can't make it tonight, I've got hockey.

 

[BradESPN]

I’ll open a lobby around 8:30 EST and start a 50-minute practice race at 9:00 EST.

Practice room is up:

[Nick Cannella]

Ready to roll, this time with the correct car!

How was the interaction between Div 1 and Div 2 last night?

How was the interaction between Div 1 and Div 2 last night?

From the 4 laps that us in d 2 went down last night it went very good. The cars are almost 20 secs apart. Tex and I last night just tried staying out of the way when they got near us.

 

[TEX36]

How was the interaction between Div 1 and Div 2 last night?

Instead of racing with the primary focus being ahead - I was watching the Map and Rear View mirror most of the time.

And when a D-1 car passed - it took 2 seconds, and then I was trundling along in my isolated world.

Very well said tex I couldn't have but it better I just ran my race looked at the map every chance I got

 

[Nick Cannella]

Good pointers for the slow D2 guy here...maps, radar and “vehicles in mirror are approaching faster than they appear”.

 

[Neutty]

As fast as we were moving last night I went 1:35 a few times towards the end, we may want to consider splitting the rooms. I really don’t want to, but 20 seconds a lap, whew

 

[MajorBlixem]

I've been battling a bad flu bug the last few days so I hope I have the energy for a 90 minute race. I'm going to give it a shot anyways.

There will be a lot of lapping, but at least passing is easy at Alsace - passing on the outside on the two long-ish left handers is a lot of fun... but if you're stuck behind someone before/during the two technical portions you've gotta be patient.

The most problematic area for me is the pit exit. When you get control of the car (i.e. not auto-drive) you're already on the track.

I agree the speed difference is so much greater and those D1 cars can handle on a dime (Atleast it seems like it).

Pit exit is its own monster the only word of advice is whomever is on the track at that point if you see a car coming out of the pits I personally would give the person exiting the pits the inside line. I would think with the lower speed it is easier for the car to stay inside then cross the track and go outside.

Tex and I were able to have a nice battle going on even though we were getting lapped by the leaders last night, so it can be done.

As far as splitting i think if it is going to three drivers or something like that why split them up. however i do feel if D2 gets to be upwards of 6 cars then id say split because with us spread out on the track it would be like speed bumps to D1 cars. Just my opionon

Yep, definitely take the inside line coming out of the pits.

Still trying to figure out how you guys get these multi color schemes going like this...fade in and outs....looks very cool

I would like to keep 1 lobby if we have the numbers for it.
Part of the endurance factor is dealing with traffic.

 

[THRASH]

About to head out to DC, and I wanted to sign on psn and it’s down just a heads up. Hopefully it comes back up for you guys tonight. I imagine it will.

 

[Herimopp89]

I apologize for the late notification but my wife would like to take our kids to a Halloween parade in Hershey tonight...yes tonight of all nights. I don't know if I will be able to make it back before the 9 PM start time. If it is close I can message someone threw psn and let them know.
