Suspended:The Endurance World Tour,

[GTP_Nail]

I will join Gr2 for Austria. We should have at least 4 cars per class. I´m sure we will find another volunteer until next month´s race.

the current minimum before we collapse the class into group three is three....but on after thought 4 is "more better".
Markus can you host for the Historic Race this Sunday at La Sarthe......either one hour or a bit more. The same rule might be a good idea for Historics....minimum of three per class. Since we have 4 classes it might also be an idea to limit Historic races to 2 classes per race for practice races.

Touring cars should always be included. We could poll the entrants to see which classes have the most entrants and race those....but since we do not keep score I suppose it matters not. I'll be there (a bit sleepy after Daytona.....no spoilers.

My selection of classics is very limited. But I can run. Any class in the tour. Thinking of running some shuffle races or something before work if anyone is on

I can host. So I can drive the Ferrari 330 P4 on sunday?

 

[GTP_Nail]

Why not. Lets run P cars and touring
then next time Racing and Antiques
etc etc ad infinitum ad nauseum

 

[Missedapex420]

So I decided to grind out the 2 mil for a Mercedes 300 SEL. Don't know if it's any good but I thought it looked cool. Any tuning help will be appreciated! Gonna get on and run a few laps before work.

 

[Goldomor]

The room is up.

 

[Missedapex420]

Eating lunch then i'll be there

 

[geeTeye]

Won't make it tonight

 

[GTP_Nail]

well... a bit sparse but the racing was good.
A few observations...

the BOP is for Le Mans Only.

The Shelby Daytona is for Amateur drivers only in the Touring class. The restriction does NOT apply to the Racing Class.

Next week will be practice on Wednesday for next Sundays Historic 90 minute race at Le Mans for P4 and Ford Mk4 s and Touring Cars.

Please spread the word in your own communities so we can have a full grid. Post here as soon as you know if you are certain of your attendance next Sunday .

room is up I will move to Markus's when he comes up

 

[Missedapex420]

Well gentleman, the good news is I got a promotion at work. The bad news is Sundays will be a no go for me starting 2 weeks from today. It's kind of ironic that I'm bummed about missing out on virtual racing as things start to go well for me in real life. I've had a tendency to put a lot more time and focus into gaming than I do my actual job. Expect me to still drop in on Wednesdays. Gonna try to find another semi-casual series on Tuesday and Wednesday.

 

[GTP_Nail]

After rather extensive racing and testing we made some adjustments. The reason was because we had three cars that were over performing and that made the other cars redundant.
Three cars were pulled back:
Shelby Daytona
GT40
Ferrari GTO

One car had added power
Shelby GT350

In addition there are many other cars in touring that will require attention. If you think your car is under or over please let Rev, Zoppo, or me know and we will take a look

opening a tng room at LaGuna Seca

 

[GTP_Nail]

Well, I went to Laguna with Zoppos guys. 90 min in my emasculated Daytona....lol. We could use some more Tour guys....we had 10 driving Gt3s and all sorts of other stuff.

 

[GTP_Nail]

Bathurst now

 

[GTP_Nail]

Tomorrow we are racing for 90 minutes at La Sarthe with two classes of Historics . Class one is for Ferrari P4 and Ford Mk4 and class two is for Touring Cars ( too numerous to list) Room opens at noon and race at one. Make sure to check BOPs on post 4.....let us know if we screwed up.....

 

[GTP_Nail]

When we finish we will talk about BOP changes before next months 2 or 3 hour race.

Before you pick the AMG be cautioned that it is HORRIBLE on fuel and tyres and is not suitable for races over 30 min with a mandatory pit stop.

room up

 

[oldguy58]

hit the wrong 🤬 button, booted myself out of qualifying and couldn't get back in .
With a grid that size I didn't want to ask for a restart because I'm a dumbass

 

[GTP_Nail]

Silly boy...we stop when regulars(like you) have a problem...Like we did with Markus being stuck in the pits. Since we pace to the start its real easy to realign everybody!!

Next week back to the Tour!!

 

[GTP_Nail]

Two Hours at my favorite (well almost) Italian Track.
Please post here if you plan to attend!!


Next two weeks
Wednesday stint races
Sunday 60 Minute race for 1/2 Points
Wednesday stint races
Sunday 2 hours at Monza

Good morning all, Monza beckons.
Remember you should run both of your cars so that if you have to collapse/move into your secondary car you will not have to get reacquainted with it during the race. Room opens at noon.

BTW I went through my cars last night and sold all duplicates that I had originally purchased and then later received on the daily free car. I made over 5 million $ pounds Marks lira Francs or Euros. Then I removed all replays and liverys. I went from nearly full in data saved to less than a third. I wonder if there will be any difference in game performance now?

Also @MasterGT checked with his link to our sim creators and they, in fact, confirmed that the Shelby Daytona and Shelby Cobra performances were incorrect. Next step is to try to get them to fix it... lol.

On a personal note I just bought a Playseat Evo to use with my Xbox to run Forza and the upcoming Microsoft Flight Sim which is staggeringly impressive.

remember guys you can not change the two cars you used last month unless you have never qualified a car in the class you are replacing. Best case is to ask me or another moderator. A case in point was von S using a ferrari in Spain when he had used another car that he used in the previous race in that set.
