Tonight? Heheh, funny..... Please confirm me in M3 or Aston Martin.

Oh, no - as in, next Friday. And you can run in the M3, since there's some slots available for it.

Thank you! Now, important business; MUST CHANGE SIG.

I might be interested in the BMW M3. The Registry resembles my friend's list. Anyways, if there's room:

GTP: MrMelancholy15
PSN: MrMelancholy15
Class: GT
Car: BMW M3

EDIT** If no BMW slots, the Aston Martin, Evora or any other Front-engined car would be okay. (Yes, I know the Evora's MR)

Just tell me the lap times-I'll be ready! And, thanks. A bunch of us are running a practice session at Daytona that same day and time. I'll get out of one car, switch lobbies and car, and run MORE practice. ;)

That's part of the Rolex Sports Car Series.

Daytona times are probably around 1:35 I'd say. Fuji is 1:30. JoeTruck, I use low LSD settings like 5/10/11 so I run 5 or 6 on the traction control setting. It helps me out a bit.

An early 1:37 at Daytona and I know that isn't going to be competitive, but I applied Praiano's tune and wow what a difference in stability. I can feel there are definitely more seconds to be dropped. Someone want to give a competitive P1 time for me to run toward?

After my long 1st practice session I was consistently running 1:37's, and I broke 1:36's 2 times on medium tires, so I believe race pace would be 1:36's on softs with a fast lap of 1:35's and maybe a 1:34 with all the available drafting around this huge track.
 
Joe, we seem to be at a similar pace and are both driving the Pug. Do you want to team up for this season?
 
If you have a good setup for the Peugeot it is a very strong car. Very good grip.

I'd prefer to work with the other Evora driver as a team on setup, if it's ok with him/her.
I will use an Evora from a previous GT4 league and convert it to spec.

Sure, mate! If it's okay, we can use the Team Lotus color scheme, as that's what I'm bearing for the season.
 
What color is that? I'll try to find a paint chip if it is incorrect as the car is currently in some kinda Ferrari red. I'll add you real soon. :)
 
My Evora's car color is Schwarz, but I'm not sure about the rims, as the game doesn't mention the name of the paint chip as soon as you paint them. But any gold-looking chip or a chip that has the word "gold" in it will do.
 
This? Will look for a glossy-ish black and metallic gold if so.

Anyone want to practice, I'll be in my lounge in a few minutes.

EDIT: Done. Managed a 1:35.7 in practice today. More consistently 1:36-1:37s, but the times are steadily dropping and becoming more consistent.

One thing I'm not sure about though is tire wear. The tires seem to get really squirrely after only a handful of laps, say between 5 and 10. Staying in the 1:35 range really makes tires an issue.

Sweet. My M3 (not at spec yet; not broken in yet) is at 1:47s and 1:46s. I'm running the Rolex Sports Car Series (look in my sig for proof...) and we're running the exact same lap times in completely different cars. And, the practice lobby opens at 7 PM EST, and will last about an hour and a half; until 8:30, when I join this lobby. So, I'll have plenty of good practice before hand. I'm ready. I'm already glad I signed up for this.
 
What time will the race be on Saturday?

It's Friday at 8 PM EST (my time...) So, you're three hours behind that. Therefore, 5 PM your time, Friday?
 
Yeah. Hopefully i can get my Internet working by then. :nervous: Let's go Bentley!

We race at 9pm EST on Friday, but the room usually opens around 8pm for warm ups.

When did that happen? Recently? I've been seeing you off and on, but, you never STAY online...

EDIT** Kevin, I noticed that, but, who wants to be late?

Yeah. I sign on, then it signs me out. My mom can't go on her laptop, but my dad's always works. Not sure why...:confused:

Sorry, I've got no help for that.......... Good luck!
 
My BMW's at 583 HP @ 283.1 KM. I guess it's not fully broken in, since apparently some BMWs have 590 HP? I can run some 1:45.500s as is though. I should be okay for a little while. I'll just run some races. But, anyways, the BMW's on 590 HP, correct? Not 580?

The Evora is pretty close. I was doing 1:46's last time around, and it still needs some more break in so the HP should be over 480. It definitely needs it because that's it's weak spot.

Yeah, someone remind stormpacer about ballast. "I RAN A 1:44.0! How much do the infrastructure ALMS GT cars weigh? Oh..."
