So if it starts UTC 17:00 then that'll be 10:00 my time (PDT: -7 UTC).

I have a GT5 race series [Renault Clip Cup] starting at 10:00 on Sundays as well, but that's green flag time.

What you're looking at now is to start practice around that time so I'd like to ask if you'd consider pushing the time up an hour if no one else objects to it? That'll mean more of an evening start for most Euro's but it is Sunday... I don't know, I've been running in the Grand Touring cup with the Jetta a lot lately and I'd really hate to miss this.

If it's a problem the other thing I could think of is that you guys start everything as planned now, practice for an hour and such, then I come in to the hosted session as soon as my Clio Cup race is over to qualify. The Clio race should only last about an hour and some change so it'd be cutting it close depending on how long the practice sessions's going to be set along with the following qualifying session.

Did you see this Ashers?
 
I did yes. What time do you suggest starting?
 
Ok so how does this work?

does the person hosting give us a name and password and we go into "hosted" and search for that and then we (just us) will be on the track?

also tomm I will be buying all the content...........I really have to stop spending money. The past 2 months I spent well over $2,000

Whoa! There goes the project car! Lol!! Yes, the host decides if it is an open or close session, in close sessions you need a pasword and would just be us.
 
So what day and time are we looking at again with this? Sorry, I've had that many times and dates going through my head of late, I've worked eight straight days and I can't think properly.
 
Sundays, around 1800UTC.
 
And wich track? Indy? cause i have to buy some tracks and it would be nice to give it a try before the practice sunday, even if it's a practice :)
 
Brands Hatch, Indy layout is the first round.

ok so that would be 1PM for east coast right? EST


also is this just a jetta race? I have the jetta already, I wanna make sure I don't need to buy another car.



OK, I just bought the first 6 rounds (already had 2 tracks). I can't find Laguna Seca? I must have over looked it, but I didn't see it

18:00GMT works for me.

For those of us in North America the 18:00GMT start time is...
East coast = 14:00 (2pm)
Central = 13:00 (1pm)
Mountain = 12:00 (12pm)
West coast = 11:00 (11am)

OLDSKOOLACURA, the laguna seca track is in your set as part of the starting material. I did not see it at first either because it is listed as "Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca."


edit...and I second someone hosting a practice time at the tracks a week before the round.

^ lol nice. I really need to try a livery out sometime, but I have a feeling I'm going to be bad at it and just give up lol
 
We running a practice race tomorrow?

Nice livery Jav. I'll be sporting a solid color car for the series. I'm not much for making my own except for iRacing's paint scheme designer.
 
Thank's guys! I'll get the session going tomorrow!
Do you guys wanna run on Brandshatch or some other track?
Password is gonna be GTPPractice.
 
Brands Hatch would be cool if possible :)

I haven't been on that track yet, but when I bought it yesterday I was looking at it and it looks like a cool track.

I will be practicing that track tonight after I get another tattoo :)
 
Any chance we could make it a 17.00GMT kick off please?
