Yeah I'll be on around 9-9:30 as well. I can host up another session if you guys want so we can chat and figure everything out. I can do it like last time or I can do it as a team session so we can practice the driver swaps.

Here's another way I was thinking about we could do it. Its more or less following the same outline as I posted earlier and trying to even it out as much as possible for everyone. With 4 drivers and to even it out for everyone that puts us driving a total of 6 hours a piece.

8am - 10am - Jav
10am - 12pm - Aaron
12pm - 2pm - Jason
2pm - 4pm - Jav
4pm - 6pm - Aaron
6pm - 8pm - Keith

I'm ok with that as well! I'll get on practice a bit later on tonight and throw down a couple of laps for quali as well!

Well, I brought my wheel to my buddies house & he thinks it might just be a power supply issue. So on the very good side of things, I might get fixed by tomorrow night(fingers crossed). I'll try to get some info by tomorrow afternoon.

Works for me too. 2 hour stints is much better, 3 was stretching the limits of my concentration. I can switch my 12-2 shift with your 2-4 shift @JerseyDriverSS if you want to get some sleep between your stints.

Also @Jav Trading Paints now has a team paint feature, so you can upload our scheme there if you haven't already. (Only team "owner" can upload)
 
Awesome guys sounds like a plan! I still plan on getting on some point tonight and running some practice but it might not be until a little bit later if anyone is still around. We'll just let Jav do the qualifying since hes starting out. It seems people are running on the apron and using teammates to draft with the get a good q time but to me I don't really care where we start.

The time schedule is just kinda a general time because of course if one of us has some lengthy repairs its going to throw it off some. We can just plan to show up 10-15 mins early and see where we are at and then after our first stint we can post up here and try and re adjust as necessary. Need to try and time it with pit stops as best we can to save some time. Fuel run should be around a hour so hopefully for the first few stints it works out pretty good to where your coming in to pit after the 2nd fuel run and the next guy can take off.

That would be greatly appreciated. Also I'm on now. I need to link up with one of you guys before 11 so I can get the setup were using. I lost everything when I put the new parts in yesterday.
 
So damn hard to get a clean lap in!!! So many idiots trying to race you on your hot lap as soon as they come out of the pits!!!
Glad I did a qualy session early on the week by myself, only a 46:4xx but it seems it'll be the best I'm gonna get with so many idiots on track!

Edit: GTP Skin uploaded and ready to go! Thank you Smuffy, the car is really looking awesome on that skin!

I'll hop into wherever your at and grab it. Then I'm off to bed. I'll be watching from work tomorrow. I downloaded iracing to the work computer just so I could watch.

Registration is closed for the room your in.
 
I can't get in that quick. Anyways it doesn't matter. I'll have the setup we start out with anyways So we're all good. I forgot about that.
 
That's cool. I've been trying to figure out a way to give it to everyone but on here in the forum and pm it won't load the file and on the iracing forum pm you can't attach a file. Other than giving it to you guys in a room I could email it to everyone that don't have it.
 
Ok, was able to better the Qualy time this time around and am satisfied now. Found a piece of quiet track and was lucky enough to share it with a good enough driver to give me a tow to a 45:802, should put us in a good position in our split I hope, tried to re-pay the favor to the guy who gave me the tow but he wouldn't back off enough to make it work for him...
 
Sound good guys good luck to everyone. Good lap Jav I think we will be fine with that long as there aren't to many idiots around you at the start lol. Just remember to put the race setup back in!

Here's the updated time schedule.

8am - 10am - Jav

How long is the warm up going to be before the race?
Do I pit in at the 2hr mark or run the full stint?

Warm up is 15 minutes, I think. Stints will be around 55 minutes, so it should work out pretty close to 10 that your second stint is complete. Run the full 2 stints, and I'll be ready to take over.
 
I believe warm up is either 10 or 15 mins. Just try and see how you are on fuel I guess. It should work out to where your 2nd tank of fuel should be running out around the 2 hr mark barring no long repairs for something. Just have to kinda see how plays out. Preferably you guys swap when you need to pit. Since you or Aaron don't have mics I would suggest Aaron get in 15 or so mins early and look at your laps and see when you need to pit try and figure when the best time to swap is and send you a pm in race letting you know.

I know you guys don't have mics but I would sure look into it in the future. Don't need anything fancy I just use a half headset one that plugs in usb thats actually for the PS3 I bought for $20 years ago. Just makes things like this a bit easier as everybody could just hop in team speak before their stint and talk and figure it the best time for a swap.
 
Alright! Got it, I will see you guys tomorrow! Have a good night and let's have fun tomorrow!
 
Whew!! The site sttoped responding there for a while and my headt stopped!! Lol! Logged on now.
We are qualified deep in the field in 14th place, strategy for me will be to not get involved in a fight with anyone even if it means dropping back... Will post again on my first pit stop!
 
On the pits now for the first scheduled stop. Race started well and got her up to 10th place, till someone decided to go full retard...
Stupid guy was holding us up bad and we gave him a few laps to get it straight since we had a good buffer. But time to crunch came and he decided to go 2 wide with a much faster car trough the buss stop. Disaster! Got tagged and dropped me back to 18th. Back to 14th now.
 
Watching the top split and on lap 2 first turn, 2 GT3's tangled and took another 3 with them 2 of which hit the wall hard so that was 5 involved in a wreck on lap 2.
 
Out of the car now, had some repairs from the incident on lap 9 so it hit me with a 2 minute 39 seconds repair, put us a lap down to the leaders and on 25th spot. Second stint went with no problems and got her back down to 17th. Aaron is on the car now and on 20th after the pit cycle with 4 cars at the moment on the same lap ahead of us. We should be back down to 16th or better by the end of his stint if all goes well.
The car feels great trough the entire stint, just a but loose towards the end but TC 3 takes care of that like a charm!
 
GTune is running P13 in Class of Split 3 after 2 hours. Started from the pits and left a 30 second gap to assure no incidents. Pace is that of the top 8.
 
Drivers to watch out for on GT:
Teemu J Ronkko(extremely slow trough the chickane, other than that fairly clean).
Uldis Puteklis(caused the incident on lap 9 right in front of me).
Jukka Korvenranta(erratic driving at times, pushing too hard I guess)
So far the Prtotypes have been very clean navigating trough the GT field.



Here's the updated time schedule:

8am - 10am - Jav
10am - 12pm - Aaron
12pm - 2pm - Jason
2pm - 4pm - Jav
4pm - 6pm - Aaron
6pm - 8pm - Keith

Sounds good guys. I just fired up the pc and about to get on in 5 mins or so for a few laps practice then into the race room 10-15 mins early to take over from Aaron when he's ready.
 
Jav
Aaron has made good progress, running 14th right now.

you jinxed me, i just hit the wall :( Car is damaged, Jason's stop was long, and the steering is bent. Sorry guys.

Was a rough stint, had a couple spins, and then an HPD slammed on the brakes in the bus stop and I had nowhere to go. Didn't seem to damage the car, but cost be a lot of time. Still, managed to work my way up to 12th, and closing fast on 11th before the crash. We are currently in 14th position, 6 laps down in class.
