The Rolex Sports Car Series- Season 2! Finished! Thanks Everyone!

[cnd01]

All racing tires are eligible. With the addition of cautions, the tire strategy will change drastically from last season! Should be interesting!

And Mel and James, are you guys still having your 1v1? If so, what time? If possible id like to get a quick Rolex practice race in, to try cautions and to see how the cars do together.

Let me know so I can get in on that

Ugh, not helping... But hopefully it'll be in the morning. If we can get 6 people that'd be great! It is summer break, so if anyone Isnt doing anything tomorrow, if you haven't already, add me on playstation. I'll post on here when/if the race(s) will take place. It'll probably be a few 20 lappers at a few courses, some with cautions, some without... Some would call it, a test! But I'll make sure it's fun!

I'll be on. I'll buy a Camaro, again. this time, it'll be for the Rolex series, not the Conti tires series. I just make no promises that it'll be early morning. Something about my sleep schedule...

Alright, that'll be good! I'm hoping those two can get that over with quick, and we can get this going tomorrow.

Yes we need to get as much done before you go off away from your ps3/internet. in the end, you make the final decisions on specs.

did you put the PSN username im using this season on the OP?

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Agreed. Also, I'm a newb with the cautions idea. It seems simple enough, but, for some stupid reason, I think our first cautions will go wrong.

James, you're capable of reading the OP and finding out.

 

[polarbear345]

No because I'm not sure. You have like 3...


And guys, let's get the season one thread to 3000 posts!

The caution flag procedure definitely needs to be worked on and practiced. The wave arounds need to know also when to go. If we have less than 16 cars, I suggest having a pace-car driver.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

This thread's been open for like an hour, and it's gotten 40 (41 now) posts. This might be even better than last season.

42**


EDIT** the pace-car driver might not be the best idea.


The DPs pit, that's when the GTs have clear track ahead of them. That's when the GT cars can continue to run a conservative race-pace. (No hot-lapping under caution, but, by all means, you can continue at a decent pace.)

Lol, I hope!

And that why I'm going to have a practice tomorrow. And when I'm gone, if you guys could have practices, PLEASE do! It'll help everyone out!

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

I'll schedule something in after my ITCC races.

Yes I can help out in any way. The more tests the better.

Excellent! And you already know how the system works, and neither of us really know how these cautions will work! We can learn together! (no homo)

 

[Downhill Dino]

So is there a practice session planned now? Seems so. Time in EST? (And day)

Still trying to decide on a car by the way.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

I ran a few Season 1 lobbies; I should be able to control season 2.

Elite, there'll be one at 7 P.M. EST (Saturday), immediately following my ITCC races.

 

[cnd01]

I will run some pick up tests through the week when I get a chance. I plan on at least getting a win this season.

Nice! And the session were chatting about now will be tomorrow. I would tell you a time, but I dont even know! Ive got to pack abit and gold the last gt academy challenge! Speaking of, it said I was like in the 3360ish spot... And I didn't even get gold?! How many people have done the last challenge?! If it's like 20000000 people, that would be pretty cool!

I'll see if I can be there. 👍

 

[agentorunge]

I added your psn polarbear. I'll be down to practice tomorrow.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Hahah, I got up to 146th in Canada, with still two seconds worth of mistakes. But, when I went on, to register, I found out my country's not eligible.

In the morning,

consider the large track map I just gave you. The straightaway at the bottom is the main straight (with the pits, finish line etc.) and then turn one is the bottom left hand corner. Follow the track until 4 and 5, and you'll gain most time there. Also, braking as late as humanly possible in turn 1 will gain you a bunch of time.

Nice! I'll accept it tomorrow morning!

And well be focusing on cautions. So that means that well need crashes!!! Who's up for some nice crashes?! Maybe well have a competition for the biggest wreck? Possibly a prize involved?

Weird you say that.. Whenever I brake late, as soon as I turn I slide big time! So I think I need to follow the "slow in, fast out" philosophy!

 

[Shinshiki]

And the time will be the same as last season... I knew I forgot something!

How did you guys do it last season? I came in mid season.

 

[polarbear345]

Time of day? We moved qualifyings start back 10 minutes to give ITCC a little more breathing room. And made qualifying officially mixed (that's how it was last season)

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

BTW, sliding the car is faster through some corners. It either understeers or oversteers, and, plainly, the guy who tuned that 370Z was horrible.

Also, welcome Shin!
