Confirmed Drivers for Round 5:
 
i think our first issue should be a new race weekend format.

i propose the following:

qualifying: monday to wednesday
top 10 shooutout: thursday to friday
races: saturday and sunday
 
Yeah thats cool, a race meet lasts a week, we have not got any back to back weeks have we?
 
no, there will be a race week, then a week off for relaxation, testing, etc. then this repeats until after the19th of december, when we take a christmas and new year break, then we resume the week after new year with the same thing (race week, week off, etc).
 
Ok then yeah I think that would work out.
 
So who is still competing in the championship?
 
Me too. But that is for now.
If only 4 people race in this series, then I won't race. But if there are more than 10 people competing......
 
well, it's obvious that electric........ is not happy with racing against less than 10 people, so could you guys get in touch with some other racers in this series and tell them we are racing on saturday and sunday.

i would, but it's quarter to eleven here and i'm getting tired :indiff:
 
Of course I'm not.Imho it's kinda boring to race against just few drivers.You know how they say: "The more the merrier" and "Double the pleasure,double the fun"

Any way, I will try to get in contact with my teammate GTmaniac,i hope other guys will contact their teammates.
 
Hehe.....
Anyway,the reason why I think these series need more drivers is that without atleast 10 drivers,these series would be really dull,and it would be weird if there were only like 2 teams.
Imagine 4 guys all driving the FPV GT in FPV GT vs Commodore ss series.

No hard feelings nitro.
 
i know you meant no harm. have you managed to get in touch with Gtmaniac yet?

EDIT: Oh, wait there he is, browsing the thread. hey there GT!!!
 
good. so at the moment, we have 8 drivers commited. don't worry guys. after this season, the next one shouldhave no problems, since we would have ironed them out in this series, geddit?
 
hey guys, i've had an idea in my head over the past couple of weeks which i would like to do to bridge the gap between seasons 1 and 2 of the v8 series. i call it the World Skyline Tour by Nissan. It does exactly what it says on the tin. a series dedicated to nissan skylines. i was thinking if running 5 classes:

Historic
R32
R33
R34
Tuner

of course, me and Bee, my assistant director, will look at this and sort out how we will run it. do you guys sound interested?
 
I may still be in. I have an actual kart race(in real life) to race in tomorrow. so depends on when I will get up and what time we have to be at the track. for now, I'm in, but I am usually swamped with work and in English IV, we are starting a research paper. so yay(phbbttt).






rock. :cool:

What if you just stuck to the one series for now. Then once you, us, get this series ironed out, you can start thinking about a new series. You got way too many things going on. Stick to one thing, and give it your all, that way it will be the best it can be!
 
yes im committed to the race.... but a couple of minor points first....

how long are they lol??

New race week sounds alot better 👍

go have a look at the back of a Red SS commodore, cause thats all that you guys are going to be seeing!

pfffffffft give me a little while to tune my GT's suspension and i will be equalling your times... i couldn't figure out why i was nowhere near any of the top times for a while, then realised i was using the damn R3's instead of the R5's... so far i have seen 1'13.5xx through the traps but am looking for a low 1'12 as a target...

oh yeah i am still in...
 
morning everybody (i'm in england, so that's why!!!)

i hope everyone's ready for two days of racing action. make sure you send in your two races time to me by sunday 11:59pm gmt. i'll put that up onto race 1 thread. i'll also put the link to the gmt coverter website someone gave me.

like i said, it's an idea, so me and bee still have to think about it.
 
can someone PLEASE tell me how long these races are supposed to be?? with the 2 races do we just run the Dream Car Race 5 twice?? and send in both times?
