PB @ 3:35.3xx good enough for me, if I can mange not to collect damage once on both of my stints. Running pole laps is great and all but 1 damage at the wrong place and all those fast laps will fall to GTE AM lap times & race pace,...

Aj I'm sending FR over to locate room, plus your name is popular and from the old school GTP Pro!
 
I thought real grip was decided a long time ago, in the beginning of the thread. We've been practicing with that since then and it does seem weird to have all other settings on real and then grip reduction on low. :P

I too thought it odd but figured it was part of the carefully thought out settings so didn't question it.

Besides that I know when I run an event it can be annoying to have people question settings so. Out of respect for the organisation of the event I simply accepted it.

If it was decided early on then so be it (I came in halfway through the process after all) but if it's an error then I think we all need to work something out and fast, there's not long to go after all!
 
I apologise for the oversight of not updating the Grip Reduction under Lobby Details.

However all my open testing lobbies, the practice races, and the qualifying sessions were set to 'Real'

The input from people early on was that 'Low' was an arcady setting and you could run slick in unrealistic conditions.



I am listening to everyone's views, at the moment I think we are sticking with 'real'

All good mate, I shall adjust as will any others who've been using low. You've had plenty on your plate so it's understandable missing 3 letters in the OP 👍

Bring on the race!

We are currently waiting on Dave whose presently ensconced at his dinner table eating breakfast at 7pm... He's a strange man but he's fast so we tolerate him :-P
 
OP updated with adjusted timetable for M4R

Ill update the minute by minute time table in a sec, lobby join order will change.
 
Race Day Timetable (Updated)

- All times In Game Time (UTC+2)

- when drivers leave the pits (14:55:00-14:56:50) they may use reasonable speed to catch up with the rest of the grid.

- once drivers join the parade lap, they must not exceed 50mph/80kph
- if you sustain damage before reaching the rest of the grid, you may reset to the pits, and wait until all cars taking the start have passed the pit exit, before joining the race.

- if you sustain damage after reaching the rest of the grid, stop at the side of the track before resetting to the pits, wait until all cars taking the start have passed the pit exit before joining the race.

- no overtaking before the line

- this is a 24 hour race, it can't be won on the first few laps, you are not Allan McNish, take it easy!

I cant get the live feed. Can someone who knows what the track time relative to real time is post it here so i can know when to expect the stint switches?

Did they start right at 13:00 UTC?

I think if you just time stamp a post here with what the track room time is ( how many minutes run at that point?). We can extrapolate from there. Since the initial room crashed, perhaps we need to use the track local time clock instead? Looks like he tried to get it restarted at 15:10 gt6 track time? Just trying to figure it out :boggled:
 
Sorry, i got to the live feed. It appears the time on track is spot on with real time 13:55 UTC this minute.

Room time elapsed is at 45 minutes, so they lost 10 minutes and started the race at 13:10. Nice job AJ:tup:


So the stint changes should be spot on with real time UTC established originally right?
