I'll probably make it

edit: Well, I really screwed that race up...... we both went high in T1 and I was trying to save it, I was pretty much sliding backwards and just slammed into that other person, I forgot who it was.

Interested in joining :) Nice work Jav 👍
Sweet! Wich class would you like to run?
Really sorry for not being here for the pre season race Javier. I forgot all about it... And I really wanted to be there also :(

No worries Andre, turnout wasn't that great. Wasn't really expecing much having the Belgian GP running the same day only 2 hrs before.

Crappy low rpm range twitchy ford

Lol! I'm starting to hate it too! Driving that thing fast and consistently akes so much out of you!
 
Can I be a reserve? May not make any, but I have 4 tracks and the Cadillac.

iRacing: Matthew McCarthy
Class/Saftety Rating: D 2.53 ( I think )

Those few laps I did was a nightmare, hard braking makes it go into a tank slapper. Feels like it has grip at times and doesn't and the times it feels like it doesn't it really does. Rpm range is so low I feel like the red line is 2k rpm too early.

I love the caddy, it definitely needs some tuning to perfect it but it is so much better to drive

Check out the baselines I shared on the first page, it should serve as a starting point.
 
Yes you can, not doing a resserve list at all as the tracks will have enough room for GTP walk ins!
 
Looks like people are a bit on the fence because they don't know how good balanced the Cadillac and the Ford is. I love the fact that you took the time to balance the cars, but I know how people can think. And I don't say change the championship, but I think we would have more none Riley signups if it was one of the cars and by the look of it, the Cadillac. (would be like 120minutes of Thunder)

Also people who doesn't have the cars can get in by buying one car instead of two.

And to be very honest with you, I think 2,4 hours or 144minutes around Daytona with 7 Riley competitors with spread skill level will fast become a really boring time trial so I hope we could allow more Riley drivers in. Or consider making the race a bit shorter ;)

Yup, I feel the same. With not enough entries that long of a race can become boring for some.
I'd like to see what everyone else think's of it.

I would say either shorten it, or add like 5 more HPD's. Not gonna be in that race, have another series to attend and don't have the track. But since it's an iconic time I would say let more HPD's in.
 
I agree with you guys,it could either be a really fun race are a " time trail" because of skill. Either way I bought everything for this so I'm in lol
 
i think pulling out the ford gt, or the caddy is the way to go. i love the caddy its really a pain to drive. never played alot in the ford gt, but id gladly race it. also the races a little long. dont get me wrong im more than happy to do 2.4 hours at daytona. but is everyone else? i dont want to only be racing myself and 2 other people by the end.
 
The Ford is even worse! That thing is always on the edge and that's a very thin edge!
 
I would say let in at least 4 more DP's and shorten the Daytona race to 80 minutes.
 
Ok, just scheduled a race for this Saturday! You guys should get e-mail notifications shortly, if you didn't get it let me know and remember to accept the league request!

I would say let in at least 4 more DP's and shorten the Daytona race to 80 minutes.

Will definitely horten to 80 minutes, 2.4 is way too long for the entries we have at the moment.
 
Do I sign up on iracing? I added the league on iracing, I'll drive in the ford gt! Sorry if I'm asking loads of questions which have been asked countless times! when is the first race? And do I just join through hosted sessions or will it come up somewhere else? Once again oppologies for the questions cheers
