Well guys we're actually at full capacity for regular drivers as of now. Though alternates are still welcome.
 
The BMW V12 LMR is it's name. I think it drives fine. Try toe angles at -.05/.25 should be good.
 
Wow were already at full grid? Seems quiet for full grid. I thought a lot of people left. Not complaining though.
 
Where is Mitch?!

Just kidding. He left GT5.
 
He won't be missed. Out of the LMP guys I think only 4 or 5 of us will be consistent participants. Just my guess.
 
I say try Seth's specs in one of the preseasons.
 
They're easier IMO, which is good for competition. The saying goes 'less is more'. You'll see.
 
Ok so tomorrow LMPs will be under Seth's numbers.

EDIT: THanks cow, got the car. I'll send something your way tomorrow when I get a chance.

This looks very interesting, and I usually have a lot of time on Fridays (though I might not be able to make some of the races...)

GTP: ghskilla
PSN: ghskilla
Car: Viper ACR

I'll be a reserve for now.

Dave will probably be there. Nothing like racing on Saturday mornings.
 
Can you update the op with Seths specs? You dont have to change them actually. Just like a small bulletin. Or I can just bother him tomorrow night and get the specs from him in the lobby. :)
 
Done. It's in red so it's really annoying and no one can miss it.
 
You guys doin something tonight? I dont intend on racing really, but i think it would be fun to drive the pace car to start it off.
 
There should be a race tonight. I say we use a track where it's neutral to the cars. A mix of twists and straights. Track like Tokyo is good to see if the cars are close.
 
Nurb GP/F? Everyone's Favorite. :dopey:
 
No, IMO that favors handling cars. Maybe INDY ROAD?
 
Seca is listed but that's a tight circuit and I think we talked about having a few preseason tracks, so whatever you guys want. If not Seca I say Tokyo, Indy or Daytona.
 
I say stick with laguna seca we can do other tracks later.
 
Hmmm...

Seca is a tight technical course, Tokyo favors mostly speed as well as Dayton, and Indy favors speed as well, but may be technical enough to offset. GP/F also favors handling more than speed.

We should do a balanced course, speed oriented, and a technical oriented, not in that particular order, for the pre-season.

What time will the festivities start at?
 
I dont really care what type of track we do only reason I say stick with laguna seca is because thats what I set my car up for and its kind of short notice now to change it.

Also didnt see anything in th op about tires, is gt class still using only meds and hards?

Preseason is about testing car specs so if we do more rounds it can gauge the specs. Or we could try a neutral track.
 
GT class will be regulated at Racing Medium or Racing Hard tires only. Unless TT13 changed that rule. LMP can use any tire set.
 
Mind if I chip in?

If you guys want a balanced track maybe we should try Suzuka? It has its' straights and technical bits. I'm fine with Laguna Seca, though.
 
Let's just do Seca tonight unless anyone has serious objections. We can do a speed track and a balanced track the next two weeks and then start the season.

Also GT can go up to RM and LMP can do whatever they want with tires. We'll start the usual time, hopefully around 8:30-9pm, though many of us are trying to participate in the Continental sports car challenge at 7pm.
 
Should be there. Unless my wife has any objections. Havent spent quality time with the family this week. :(

I might could make the tail end of it. Depends on when I get done at work.
 
Who's hosting tonight?
