Hey guys, me again. I've got an update for you all on the GT1 night planned for Friday Night at 8 pm Eastern.
The Nomad Diablo car was a bit too snaky in the corners and a bit slow on the straights, so to remedy this I have allowed the car to now have 730 HP and an extra 25 kg of weight must be carried, bringing total weight of the car to 1225 kg. So to put these stats closer together for the Nomad Diablo 730 HP 1225 kg, Performance points should be around the 625 area.
Another thing to address is the time between races. Each one should take about 15 to 20ish minutes to complete, but I haven't seen much talk of prep for this so I'm going to allow 10 minutes between races to get any last minute changes in that you may need to make.
Room Location will be the Spinning Arrows club only lobby, no blue lobbies here, just green flag racing. Please ensure that if you are planning to participate in the event that you are a club member, seems trivial but I've seen it happen before with some other events.
Finally qualifying, there will be sessions for each race at 5 minutes each. I know you're thinking, but what about Nurburgring, it's too long. Ahh but that's the point my friends, you must run an all out assault on the track in order to take the pole. When the checkers drop on that session the adrenaline will be high and you must calm yourself to get a good start to the race.
Just a fair warning, I have invited the guys from my racing series to join us and they're generally on par with you guys for speed. So hopefully we have a nicely sized field for the night.
Last second FYI, the points standings will be announced between each race following the second race so everyone knows where they stand.
An Edit for Patrick should he still be looking at this thread with any regularity, You are very much welcome to join in on this event if you have the time, just let me know over PSN if you want to be there.
