As for pit strategy I think if it isn't clarified in the OP you can't really penalize for say, exiting the pits and crossing the white line. In the LMES race last night I was cut off by a pit exit at least once, much like the Tequila Patron Ferrari driver did at Long Beach. I get it's a jerk move, and I always am weary of traffic coming down the track, thus I stay out of the proper corner entry line while accelerating from the pits. However, I've never recognized the line on the asphalt as a lane, because I've never raced IRL and don't know the ins-and-outs of pit stops. I also would have no clue you need to follow the line into the pits as I usually just do as the game allows me with that. I figure the parts it wants me to follow will be automated.

I'm down with following rules for realism, but like I said they should be clearly stated as part of the official series rules because not all of us are that familiar with pit etiquette, aside from going slow in and yielding to faster traffic on exit.
 
Notice guys, I will be switching to the Mazda 787B ONLY IF I can grind enough money by tonight's qualifying session, it IS tonight right?, or are we doing it before the race which I'd prefer
 
I was under the impression it was tonight but whichever works for me.

Everyone ready for monza? I'm not...

posting 1:40s right now, no practice time :(
 
Also a wuestion about the Daytona Road Course pit out prscedure. Are you supposed to use the full pit out lane here as you are supposed to?

Last season, we used the full pit lane to avoid accidents, and because of realism (it was right after the 24 Hours of Daytona). I am for following full pit lanes on all tracks (meaning staying on the correct side of the painted lines).
 
So is qualifying tonight or tomorrow before the race? And what time?
 
Well didn't gatrs say he wouldn't be around for this race? I think its supposed to be tonight, though someone else may need to host it.

Edit: What gatrs said


Race is this Friday although I won't be there.
Jav, you wanna host again?
Qualifying is tomorrow.
Most likely I won't be there again.
But I'll probably stop by later for both.
 
I don't think i will be able to make it to the the qualifying today

Qualifying is tonight. Jav should be opening up a room at around 7 pm EST. In the mean time, I'll be practicing. If anybody else wants to join, I'll post the room number.

It's with no chicanes, right?
 
Is it possible for me to qualify with the V12 LMR and use the 787B when I get it, (if I decide to use it), or would I automatically start in the back of the LMP pack if I switched cars?
 
Ah cool, i'll be there

K considering I have a half hour to earn 2m :(
 
Dude! I didn't realize it was a premium. Thats pretty awesome I might switch the Group C race to a 787 race now. I thought it was UCD. Way cool I'm gonna buy one :)

When I get the money...
 
@stupidstormy36

Thanks for hosting. What were the average times you were running? I was constantly between 1:46.5xx and 1:46.0xx.

Just curious to see how far off I was from you.

I was mostly hitting low to high 1:45s and, on a good lap, a mid to high 1:44s. I started hitting 1:46s when my tires really started to wear out. I don't know what the other GTC drivers are hitting. I was going to ask them. Let's see if I get any answers.

Also, anybody know how many laps the race is going to be?
 
Ah man this qualifying is totally when I'm gonna be running. I might have to fight the heat and run earlier.
 
You said you did track right?
 
Yeah but track ended two weeks ago. I'm training for cross country now :D

I actually just realized that GTC won't qualify until 9ish which works great...see you guys tonight

Wow I cant imagine running a couple miles at a time, i mean I'm a good runner but I couldnt run multiple miles at a time lol :D good luck
 
Could you move lmp up maybe a half hour or so? I'm so close to getting my 787B :P
 
What happened to qualifying and who is hosting?

As long as you stick to high 1:45s were good :D

Also, who is hosting qualifying? GTC should be in about 2 hours right?
 
We are currently unsure of the current situation. I know that Gogatrs mentioned that he would not be able to make tonight's qualifying runs, but asked Jav to host in his place. However, at this time neither Gogatrs or Jav are logged into their respective PSN accounts. We'll try to sort this out. If need be, it may get cancelled or postponed.
 
Tomorrow, maybe start at like 7:30pm?
 
Worst case scenario I'm willing to host qualifying for everyone in a about an hour or 2. I'll Run it like the Flying Miata spec series. What do yo guys think?
