Hope you like the sound of the Redbull X2014

I've just done a 9:29.7 in the Mustang. Although I'm fairly confident I can improve that by a few seconds.

Blah! It turns out I don't know the Nurburgring at all!

 

[jammy21]

In OP it said Type V! So which one is it?

Is it the Type V or 24 hour layout?

24.

As I said multiple times, switched to 24. I've not been at my computer to update it.

 

[jammy21]

Thank you. I had never heard it before. I've been running TypeV...btw still 15 laps?

15 laps correct.

So anyone testing this weekend?

Tomorrow night for me. Reminder this week Quali is 7pm.

 

[RACECAR]

This looks interesting. If there are spots left for reserves, I'll take a Shelby Daytona.


And out of curiosity, why is the 250 GTO not here?

Your 3rd on waiting list. 250GTO is coming in a later season, we're essentially on a GT racing timeline here

 

[Furinkazen]

Going to open a lobby for practise.

Make your mind up Alex will you!

I was supposed to be out tonight but things got changed last minute....

 

[chrisjohnson93]

I did put a few laps around the Nurburgring at Night using the 24 minute endurance. Got a slight feel for what's going to be like. I presume it's a full time change for Sunday?

Yah, time scale x9. Weather changeability x30

BST, right?
I finish work at 2 pm US EDT and will be home in time for the last half hour of Qualifying if that's the case.

Yes BST. Q would normally be 7.30 BST.

 

[chrisjohnson93]

I've got my plan for Sunday sorted, hope those who are faster than me crash more than me, hopefully I won't be ill this race and be able to hear as I'm still suffering hearing issues.

 

[R0ssingt0n]

Qualifying won't matter much this time, considering how long and though the race will be! Just got to hope for the best really...

I was thinking about that earlier in the week. Qualifying is going to be tough.

Worse for GT-P drivers, we have to cut through the GT-O cars at start.

Oh and we form up 2x2 on the pace segment after Schumacher S (10) and go green just after the bridge on exit of Bit Kurve (12).

Hope you have not got what I had.

I've just done a 9:29.7 in the Mustang. Although I'm fairly confident I can improve that by a few seconds.

If that was online with tyre wear, that's a good lap. For qualifying you will probably have one shot only, because after 1 out-lap and 1 flyer the tyres deteriorate a little and it gets harder to do sub-9:30's.

Weather is going to play a big part in this race though. I still remember with horror that season V race that you won with lots of rain during the night and drying up in the last lap. Not a fan of either and the Mustang seems to get an extra kick when it's wet. Could be a tight and very open race, if I can stay out of the pits for once.

 

[Furinkazen]

For me, finishing within 5 minutes of the winner will be an achievement.

 

[LancerEvo7]

For me, starting will be an achievement.

 

[jammy21]

What are settings for weather and surface?

Yah, time scale x9. Weather changeability x30

Yup that was online with tyre wear. Although I had a really conservative outlap to save as much of my tyres as possible! I agree with having one shot, maybe 2 if you're really lucky...

Even though I somehow managed to win that race in season 5 I really hope we don't get a repeat of that, no matter how good my car feels in the wet, that wasn't a fun race!

 

[LancerEvo7]

I hope it pours the entire time. I do good in the rain at the 'Ring, like in VLN.

 

[Ninners]

I remember those times.
