Hey guys, I have some late breaking news if you happen to be interested. This coming weekend is the postponed date for the Bathurst 12 hour that was attempted back in February. I have managed to secure myself a last minute ride in the GT3 Pro class with ABC Racing in the BMW Z4. I will be driving from 6 pm to 9 pm EST Saturday evening if you are interested in seeing me drive the car.
See you boys on track tomorrow night.

Good Luck Bro

You can use the edit button instead of double posting!

Anyway, the PS4 looks nice. Does it get enough ventilation in that spot?

Yes Mallet, it was sad day for me. I grew up trying my best to emulate him but as you can see, that isn't an easy thing to do.
Edit: Agenda is now posted.

did some more testing @ Sebring last night...

tire-wear seems to be pretty easy at this track, however, when to pit in for fuel is little tricky...

Great night of racing fellas. Left work (for the last time) at noon, went home and took a nap. Much needed after winning every single race. I think I even won some races I didn't participate in. I don't know how it happened but I'm the host so I guess anything is possible. Must be one of those "host perks" we all hear about.

Now I just can't remember who was supposed to clean up the crushed fortune cookies from the track.

I am curious about the fuel consumption on you guys, can you guys make one tank to last 30mins??

 

[FAN_Lawless]

i get too frustrated with the track after lap 4 to find out

 

[Blackmagic60]

Thats a good question, ill be doing some fuel testing tonight as well as final adjustments. i think its very close that someone can make 30 minutes i know fuji i was able to get a 29 minute fuel tank however i was a few seconds off the pace. i think a 30 or even a 31 minute tank is possible but there be too much time loss. my best laps consistent is mid high 2:00.6-2:00.8 but quick single laps down in the 2:00.2 no way i could make a tank last 30 minutes.

i've actually tried it couple of times with different driving style, including hot-lap, short-shift, controlled-laptime...

but the tank won't last more than 30mins...

wondering it's the car or the driving style...

Just ran for about an hour. Ran 2 laps where i didn't drop a wheel and go off! Quickest was 2:03.xxx. A couple times i'd be ahead of that time, but could never run a clean lap. I'm in trouble.

in case, you can just put a Supra body onto a GTO chassis ...
