I would have to agree there. I'm kind of hoping there isn't the huge turnout. I remember trying to put up a qualifying lap for another race and I sucked compared to the other times that were posted. Maybe an "A" series for you guys that drive unbelievably well and a "B" series for those that are sub par?
I'm sure it is. Best I have done on Nurburgring GP/F was a 2:08. Definitely not close to what I could do yet, but I've only run a couple laps on it. Guess we'll just have so see who shows up and who doesn't. Even if I were to not qualify for the races due to so much interest and how well y'all drive, I still got a sweet lookin car.
Any rooms going to be open tonight? Some practice Practice races maybe?
See that is my take, I don't really expect to qualify because I know how good most of these people are but it was a good car to practice and to sort of benchmark myself and see how much (a lot) work I have to do to get better.
Turbo, do you know off the top of your head what setting you use to set up the room? Just curious so if I do some practice I know I am similar. My guess is all aids off except TCS, grass edge set to real. I can't remember if there are any other important ones.

All Aids off. (ABS is allowed, but I don't think you can turn it off)

I will try to be there tomorrow because I can't wait to start racing but I don't know if my time will fit... Anyway I tried a 15 laps race at Nurburgring GP/F in my lobby and I found that the Fuji setup that R1600Turbo gave was actually pretty good (well that's quite useless to say that since I didn't try any other) but anyways... During the 5 first laps of the tires set it's possible to record a good time. After that point, the tires start to have a little less grip and at lap 9, the lap time starts to increase dramatically.
The best time I achieved was a 1'59,7xx and I didn't run on the 24h Nurburgring joins the first section (where it becomes wider after the first section).
Those that are going to race tomorrow night, I'll open the room about 10 minutes early so people can start filing in. We'll wait until about 7:30 EST for people to get into the room. Those that are in the room can practice during this time. At 7:30 we'll start a qualifying session that will last for 15 minutes. Immediately after qualifying I will start the race.
Race will be 20 laps, and although you can probably stay out the whole time, I would recommend pitting as the tires go south pretty badly after 8-10 laps.
I invited a friend to get into this series, but he just became a member of gtplanet and first post on this thread needs to be checked by moderators or something. Can you include him on the roster? details below.

I'll be on much later tonight and will set up a practice room for those interested.
