I will hosting is Historic Group C Laguna Sega 200 currently scheduled on Saturday November 18th. Another Gran Turismo endurance classic done in Laguna Sega fashion. As the race track commonly hosts historical events throughout year. This only open to any of the 5 Gr.1 cars that are 1992 or older. Race details available in my forum. A link posted below.

 
You were 11th I think
I have had no shows in past years
See that's why you should have numbered the positions. Apparently I was good as picking out inefficient cars. The biggest surprise was how bad the Porsche was on fuel. I ran at the Red Bull short track.

Anyways I had a no show experience last Saturday. Man is that a terrible experience. Even my loyal right hand Fastone371 couldn't attend. As he reluctantly had to attend a wedding he had forgotten about.

You could just count down the list like everyone else did to see how you finished each week. I've only been doing it the same way for 13 years now

About how many tracks will we run? Gotta prep some cars. :)
 
Hey since you can control what parts of the car you are and are not allowed to tune. You should at least allow brake balance changes to give players something to work with. Most race cars can even change it in car. Even NASCAR allows a brake balance control.

Gr.3 League - Starts Jan 10th

All league races will be in a friends only lobby. Send me a friend request if you are wanting to participate.

Leagues will run for 10 consecutive weeks.

You are not required to race every league race in order to participate. Join us for a race when you can.

All times will be posted as Central Time here in the USA. You can use Dallas, Texas as a current time reference.

The 1st race of the League will be First Come / First Served.

After that the top 10 in points will be guaranteed a spot in the next week's race.

If the lobby becomes full and one of the top ten in points is trying to get in then the person in the lobby who is lowest in points or no points will be asked to exit the lobby. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. This has not happened yet so please get in the lobby early to get a spot.


Lobby and Qualifying Times:
Lobby will open at 8:00 pm central time for practice.
Will be 2ea 30 minute races to begin at 8:30 pm Central Time.
An 8 minute auto-start countdown timer will be used for your qualifying time and starting position and to start the race.
Each race will be scored and points totaled.

Allowing transmission tuning is pointless. You can't adjust transmission on most cars in GT7 without adding a custom transmission. With BOP On you can't upgrade your transmission. If anything allow downforce tuning instead. It will allow for a High-Speed handling adjustment.

Because we are doing a Gr.3 league in Jan
True but, that's still over a month away. And you could have used this event to help fine tune the league. Even if it is done with only one Gr.3 model.

You should be able adjust LSD you must have tuned that off. As for the trans no can't adjust trans on any gr classed race cars with BOP active because they don't come default with an adjustable trans. And you can't add parts with BOP active. Your can not pre save settings with BOP active. You have to only make adjustments after you have entered the track in lobby. And you'll lose any settings if you exit the track for any reason or if the track is reset by the host. However your are never going to balance the classes better on your own. And Gr.3 is definitely one best balanced. The only car I would discouraged use of is the old Nissan Skyline.
 
Still looking for drivers the Saturday Night Endurance League. First round starts in 4 days. With 15 races between Jan 6th and Jun 22nd. Players can choose between Gr.1 or Gr.3 classes. Gr.1 DRIVERS NEEDED. Lobby will be open by 7pm. Qualifying starts at 8pm and the race will start at 8:30pm. More details available if interested.
