The practice was..interesting for me. Of course all it does is further cement that I need a wheel. If my Thrustmaster didn't stop working, I would've used it instead of the pad. I'm practically useless in the wet with it.

Edit: Again sorry for the contact guys. I'm already pathetic at limping home a damaged car so you throw the rain into that and its just impossible for me to do anything with it. If I hadn't have tried to push so hard, I wouldn't have wrecked :ouch:
 
You did lead in the wet there for a while though.. until you crashed. Wasn't a great start to my night crashing in the very first lap and doing a 14 minute lap.. but well it got a bit better. That audi really does wear its tyres though.
 
Yeah, I was actually doing decent there for my first time in the wet with that car (and having switched from X and square to R2 and L2 on my pad). I got carried away in that one corner though and just killed it.

As for the Audi, I agree. Its great at the start but it gets sloppy when the tires go away.
 
I can't make it down to Joe's place for the full N24, but we still want to do the VLN and need one more driver for the Viper.
It's like the puzzle that refuses to fit. Let's do this: Since Fang It wants @Cobani, he should drive with them.

I'll join Crazy Guys in the Viper (because 'Murrica). WIDFO and some others gave me some advice on getting the car I need. It'll give me some much-needed experience driving with at least one of my N24 teammates. @joetruckv8 and I will work on getting a 3rd driver for the big race.

If @micantony is cool with me yanking him around everywhere, perhaps he can hop on as an option for the VLN races.

This way we're not creating a whole new team (TVR).

Does this all make sense or have I missed yet another crucial bit of information?

If you find a setup that makes it work for three laps please tell me. :p

@memto89 is the board planning to have the events around the same time of year in 2014?

Send Joe and I a friend request. T-n-T-2000 is the PS name I use to race with. :)
 
Seems that tyre wear is limited to 3 laps for all of us(maybe 4 for the Ford) I will be at testing this evening though.

We are yes this is the 3rd running if the race and we are hoping to keep it as a proper annual race ;)

This is building up to the 2014 race in February, and we hope to do the same in 2015 also which should be on ps4 and gt7 by the sounds of things

The 4th lap gets a bit sloppy in the Ford, still working on it at the moment.

Fantastic! What are we looking like in terms of followers, likes, and subscriptions online?
 
I hope to have a well balanced team for the 2015 event. It's a little to late to get things in order for the 2014 event.
It will be really hard to do the whole 24 hours by myself @Phouchg. Though it would be very fun:lol::eek::cheers:

Yea like niko said it's not to late at all, we still have enough space for new teams and the deadline for a team to form is February 1st 2014, if you have a team ready to go then by all means join up ;)

A couple of months to gather the troops and find a couple of friends. Otherwise you're very welcome next time. :)

Stewarding:
This is a Stewarded event, so make sure you read the rules and keep your driving in check. We are expecting an Incident report from every driver within 24h of the race finish!!! If you are not aware of what one is, it is the lap and incident you had and who with.

cunl.jpg


Room opening:
Rooms will be opened at 21:00 GMT, All drivers need to have the host added to their friends list (it is not the host responsibility to add drivers)

Spec Check:
Spec Check will happen at 21:30 GMT and should last about 5 mins. Please be silent for this so that the host can get through it faster.

Qulifuying:
Will be 20 mins, The track will be changed and then changed back to remove all times. Once the track has loaded then qualifying has started. The time will be shown in the top right corner, after the clock hits 20 mins then qualifying will be over. There will be a 5 min break for any drivers to get drinks, go to the toilet etc. The host will announce this when the 5 mins will end.

Start:
The start will be a Rolling start in 2x2 formation, The leader will roll out of turn 12 at 40MPH/64KPH in the 2x2 formation. Once in the acceleration zone the leader will go at full throttle (With no lifting) and the host will call green.

Finish:
The finish will be when the message pops up that the leader has passed the line for 1 more lap. (Lap 22) you will then make your way to turn 11 of the GP circuit and wait behind the leader until the last person has reached the same place. After that you may finish the race or leave.

Scoring:
This is a team event, therefore the teams time will be added together and the team with the smallest number wins and will receive the top points. AM teams and Pro teams will be scored in different categories as this is qualifying for the N24.

1st - 10
2nd - 8
3rd - 6
4th - 5
5th - 4
6th - 3
7th - 2
8th - 1
Time progression:
This is the first instalment of the VLN series and it will take place in the morning. We will be driving through the dawn. Time will be set to 1 so that you get a good idea how the real race will work.

Coms/Text:
Please do not use headsets or the text box in qualifying of the race. Its distracting and not very considerate.

Hey guys, just wondering if I could drive a Mercedes SLS while there is spots open.

You will need to gather a team of 3 people as we have no spare drives anymore, you will also need to tell us if your PRO or AM... This is not an individual driver style race so you will not be allowed to drive on your own
 
And the SLS isn't one of the cars in this series? But you would be welcome if you could find a team. :)

Cool, didn't know the N24 cars would be included in the VLN. Then I guess Jake could join from the second race if he can find a team. :)

Edit: second race if we do it in GT6, might be third race.
