Sweet! Please put me in for that M3 spot. Thanks John!
 
By the way guys, it's 3AM in the UK, not 2am.
 
That time is kinda rough(Eastern time zone). What day of the week will this be run?
 
Sorry guys the timing is wrong for me as it ends up at 1 pm sat afternoon. Right in the middle of sport. Sounds like you will fill the position easily. Good luck and have fun. I will enjoy reading the posts later. See ya
Evan
 
Still 3 spots open: BMW, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz.
 
If we can't fill out the last three spots, I may change the format of the points and races.
 
sign me up for the M3 please

With a 16 race schedule have you considered allowing people to drop their worst 2-3 results for the championship as im guessing most people will end up missing a couple of races out of 16, i know i will due to work commitments, starting with the first round :(
 
Happy to grab the 2nd MB spot :)

Sat 1:00pm Melb/AU (my time) is good for me 👍

For the drivers championship, the top 14 races will count in the points standings. As far as the manufacturer's championship, all races from all drivers will count, so it is a good idea to have backups.

I will run pre season events when/if I'm on, if any of you want to organize some pre season testing, go ahead.

We still need backups because there will be times when someone will have to miss a race.
 
I have a practice lounge open now.

Good practice round tonight.... makes me look forward to the season even more! We had a Camaro, a Mustang, and a Lexus running laps around Daytona Road... more people should join and hang! See you all on the Track!

Ok so just to confirm the time zone for the 10pm races are set at GMT+6(Chicago time),so if my zone is GMT+8(Singapore) that would be be 12 midnight on the same day(Friday) right?

If this is the case I will build the car (Mercedes C63 chassis) according to spec and chat with my teammate.Oh and thanks to the admin for raising the hp limit to 591.

Doin some research... here are the PP levels each car will run at full aero, stock ballast, and before the cars are broken in
BMWm3 573hp 1420kg, 559pp
Camaro 591hp 1420kg, 576pp
Dodge 591hp 1420kg, 575pp
Ford 591hp. 1420kg, 560pp

Maserati 591hp 1420kg 567pp
Mercedes 591hp 1420kg 570pp

I guess we will see where the races and practices take us, but it seems a couple of them might have some difficulties. Oh well, we'll let the track decide it!
 
Testing the Mercedes on hards now...
Ok that didn't end well,will not turn in to corner,either gets rear lock up or pushes front alot.

Ford driver,can I use the standard exhaust?Don't like the way the titanium one sounds...
