I'm happy to race whichever car/cars are selected, I have voted multiclasses, just because I've not done a multiclass race before .

 

[paoloevans]

Sounds like an amazing event @HoonigaN96

I voted for the Gr.1 and Gr.3 multi class race as this would be something new to me and I think it will suit Spa-Francorchamps

Livery done.

 

[BigJimmy]

I might fancy getting my wheel back out of retirement for this if that's ok. I won't mind coming last. I will check with the boss.

@paoloevans @Spinerkopin @Bivittavus88 @GTP_Guido @WanganGhost @Lazybike @Standard_FV
The poll has closed and the result is Gr1/Gr3, however unless the sign ups pick up, I am aiming for a 6/10 split Gr1 to Gr3, minimum 6 in each class, if we don't get that by 1 week before the race I'll change it back to Gr3 only as no one wants to be racing around with only 3 other cars in their class. So if you sign up for Gr1, please also put a preferred Gr3 car in case of this event occuring

 

[El_Beardo]

@HoonigaN96 really sorry mate. I'm going to have to pull my entry for this.

 

[paoloevans]

Hi @HoonigaN96 is there any confirmation on tyre wear and fuel consumption as of yet?

Just so I can do some practising 👍

I'll get it finalised Saturday afternoon, looking likely its going to be Gr3 only at this rate though

Ok mate yes its looking that way. Do u want me to tag the new Sprint Cup Asia drivers in the thread? May boost the numbers a bit?

 

[paoloevans]

@Autograss_Mad @AudiMan2011 @NorthLlama @Drex124 @Metal721

Plenty of free grid spaces if your interested?

 

[Drex124]

Do we get free choice of Gr.1 cars or are we limited to the real life Lmps/group c cars?

Free choice, but at the rate sign ups are going atm it looks like it'll be Gr3 only

@Standard_FV @Lazybike @Spinerkopin @paoloevans @WanganGhost @GTP_Guido
What control type do you guys use, just asking as it have tyre wear and fuel settings sorted, but tyre wear is borderline on a wheel, so it would be unfair of me to set it at that if most people are on DS4s?

I have a wheel. Im also gonna use the NSX by the way.

 

[HoonigaN96]

@paoloevans @Drex124 @WanganGhost @GTP_Guido Tyre wear and fuel settings updated in the OP. Set to the lower 2x due to tyre wear for DS4 users

@Lazybike @Spinerkopin @Standard_FV can you guys confirm your car choices please, if you sign up for Gr1, please post a preferred Gr3 car as well incase the event changes to Gr3 due to a lack of numbers
