Yeah it was a small turn out but I think we should of still had an exabition race just for fun and practice, and usually all the comments that people make after such races starts generating interest, but oh well. Next time we must race cause I love these cars

We did race. How come you didn't join? Only luckylefty, me, and indiamwolf were racing. Was there a connection issue?
 
Wait, I was waiting for over an hour and I didn't see anybody race. Might be a connection issue but I tried to message yu guys and no one replied.
What time did u guys start the race cause all I saw was people leaving the room and nobody responding.
 
When I was in the race room it looked like no one had entered the course, then I saw u started the race but nobody entered so I thought it was a false start, cause I do that by accident when I host rooms sometimes

We started around 8 40 ish I guess??? Maybe earlier. And luckylefty dropped out of the race for some reason. I'll be more clear about starting the race next time.
 
yeah i guess i got confused, what a shame cause i really wanted to do that race, we should hold some practice rooms soon
 
Is there gonna be a room for practice? If anyone wants I'll have a room late tonight called formula gt only
 
I won't be able to make the first race. I'll be in the air overhead going back home. I'll also miss tomorrows testing, because I'll be at the airport waiting to leave home.
 
I was thinking, why not have an oval race with these cars as part of the championship? Fgt's are not technically f1 cars, they remind me more of champ cars just alot lighter. I love road courses but the experience of doing a mini Indy 500 would be so unique. We could modify the cars to be just like Indy cars for that race. Increase the weight to 750 kg, and decrease power to about 750hp. I think we have the opportunity to recreate an American classic we could call it the mini 500 100 laps, what do you guys think?

I'd vote no ovals, but I am not going to be in every race anyway so I suppose it doesn't matter.

an oval is not a bad idea after all these are indy cars they are not F1 cars. i am all for daytona and indy both being on the race schedule
 
Sorry. There was supposed to be a race but I was mowing my neighbor's grass. I forgot. I'll set alarms in my phone from now on. Sorry guys I'm an idiot.
 
Just a recommendation (apologies if this has already been brought up too, by the way) but you might consider switching London for Rome or Spain as London does not have a pit area.

Unless you've tested to ensure that tires will last for 45 laps.

Also, while I have no interest in participating in the series, I would second the notion of racing an Oval or two as it would allow drivers to use different skill sets to help shake up the standings if they're usually no good at the road or city courses.
 
i never even noticed we were doing london lol, we cant race on that its tiny and theres no where to overtake. Theres also no pit which i really dont fancy with heavy damage

How bout we replace london with an oval?
 
yeah i'm not fussed what track if the rest of the guys want a oval then go for it m8, aslong as theres a pit i'll be happy......... and tarmac lol
 
I'd say we go for Indy since they race open wheeled cars there anyway, plus Indy is a bit more challenging than daytona, but I seriously think we should look at the idea of slowing these things down with weight and power restrictions for the ovals, I did an online race at Indy recently and 260 mph in the draft can make for some big accidents and the racing wasn't very close, but with power restrictions it was really close

I'm gonna move the pre-season race to this sunday. So the whole schedule is going to get pushed back a week. I'm also going to replace London with indy.
