You're welcome to join us for testing!!
We'll be doing some short test races @ submitted Mt. Aso tracks. :)
I think IMZIZ might pop in for a peek as well!
 
Ah Awesome! :) I would love to join this but dont sign me up straight away as I need to check if I can get the car and if I'm free
 
I think I have a spare G4, if anyone needs.
I'm betting jackargent probably has spares too.

Okay...
FYI: It's a ways off, so I don't expect anyone to chisel their sign-up in stone, as schedules sometimes interfere with GT5! (The humanity! :sly:) It's understandable. We can pencil you in. ;)
 
I only have 3 ginettas & one of them has been on a diet & is ineligible but am more than happy to gift my spare one to anyone who needs it.
 
Just an alert reminder:

Lots of fun testing the tracks with everyone who cropped up for test races!! :)

I'm going to test tracks a bit more:
Tuesday February 28th @ 11am PST / 2pm EST / 7pm GMT / 8pm CET
Welcome to join me in the VCRC lounge!

By Wednesday or so, we should be settled on which Mt. Aso track will be Race #3.

Wednesday February 29th @ 12pm PST / 3pm EST / 8pm GMT / 9pm CET
Perhaps I'll be in the VCRC lounge a bit earlier.
I'm hoping Wednesday to start getting some ballpark idea about lap times in order to do the math to set the laps.

I've put down 2 hours for this event... but I did that mainly to give us some leeway about my setting the laps before any of us get in some real practice, and then perhaps the races will be a tad shorter than average 25 minutes a piece... but that should be offset by the fact that it may rain during Race #1, and add a tiny bit of time.
 
Practice:
Wednesday February 29th @ 12pm PST / 3pm EST / 8pm GMT / 9pm CET

May be in the lounge before this...
By this time, the Mt. Aso track will be chosen.
Will be running 3 lap test practice races on all 3 tracks.
Lap times testing for setting the laps for the races.

All welcome. :)
 
I am interested in this race. I have a Ginetta but I need to verify that it is not tuned. Luckily, I have time!

I will report back with color scheme.
 
I like the sound of this. I can't guarantee that I can make it as i don't plan that far in advance.

I might make it for some of the practice sessions though. (Only the weekday ones though as i can't do weekends)

P.S. I am booked up for this week but anyone needing a G4, I have a few spare.
 
Nothing's chiseled in stone. Not even for me. :ouch:
The reason it's scheduled this far in advance (unusual for me), is to give people a chance to get involved, and get some practice. :)

All welcome to participate in the event and/or the practices.
 
I would love to race this car but I will be at work during this event. Have fun and good luck to everyone!
 
I tried a couple of laps at the Manja Bene track; 2:49.871, but theres a lot of seconds lying around here and there. Would be interesting to know if anyone has pulled a sub 2:45?

I would totally add another to the schedule, as I could do this event twice joyfully!!! :D
If anyone else is interested in another schedule that could accommodate, let me know!!!
I know IMZIZ is interested in this race, but can't make the time either, as it runs more than 1hr.
I know Saturdays are a no go for cc570... but I'm down with Saturdays in general. :D

I can't find the piece of paper I wrote the Manja Bene times on from the practice... Hrm. I'm sure I haven't beaten your time ID!!! But yes, there's lots of room on Manja Bene to find seconds... and to lose many!!
 
I am planning on practice:
Sunday March 4th @ 10:30am PST / 1:30pm EST / 6:30pm GMT / 7:30pm CET

The maintenance is not scheduled until 12pm PST / 3pm EST / 8pm GMT / 9pm CET
