I'll see if I can jump in, I think there is a clash with the NASCAR race today but I'll try both at the same time.

Nuts. Seriously considering changing it for later dates. To something more friendly for everyone. I need more brain power to figure it out.

But at least this way I get some practice before facing off against Fudsy.

Sounds like a lot of fun and a great idea! Unfortunately the time won't work for me. I'm usually only available in the evenings central time.

Drex124 · May 31, 2020

Sounds weird, I'm up for it. That would be 3pm Est correct?

Trone_Colby · May 31, 2020

Is this still happening?

Yes.

Lobby ID will be posted at 11:30 Pacific (approx 45 min from now). Racing will start at 12. Races repeat over and over. It's open house/drop in style.

Plan to keep it open for one hour.

I'll join in a minute, just have to finish cutting up a video in ShareFactory (I know you can save them, but I also know I would never find it again).

Just double checked. The number is right.

Or look for Lobby for friends?

Yeah I'm having the same issue.

Probably because It's set to friends only. Sorry. Any chance you can send me a friend request?

Lobby is now closed.

That was so much fun. Thanks for coming.

Kevstah2004 · May 31, 2020

That was almost a Jill Sandwich :cheers:

Trone_Colby · May 31, 2020

Fun racing everyone.

Fun racing everyone.

Thanks for posting.

The Kart race that starts around 6:40 is a perfect example of how I pictured these races. The Swift races were super fun too. Nice match suit & car. 👍

Loads of fun. Good group. Quick learners.

Kermit_2142 · May 31, 2020

Carnage!!! 👍👍👍

You'll never get a time that works for all with GTP membership spread across so many timezones. Don't fret it, just pick a time that's not too inconvenient for you and is accessible for as many as possible.

If it works out that I can come that's a bonus

Yeah, those of us down here will always be at severe odds time wise with the EMEA folks. I got so excited by the idea when I discovered the post, but definitely not a good time. Might have to see about a way to host things Sunday evening my time one week if I think of a good event.

The FIA races loading up Saturday nights have pushed lots of the fun lobby stuff I would like to try to our monday morning. :grumpy:

Videos look great though, something to definitely try again.👍

The_Tullster · Jun 1, 2020

Looking at the video, it might pay to experiment with the rolling start spacing, maybe squeeze the pack up a bit tighter. Keirin is traditionally a tightly packed accident looking for a turn to happen on...

Pigems · Jun 1, 2020

Sorry that I missed this, fell asleep while watching a movie with the wife. Hopefully there will be a next time.

We switched to grid starts after a few races. That worked much better.

The Karts worked well, potential for lots of accidents. N100 class is fun too, can bump a lot more.

The Super Formulas could use a larger track. I think BB Raceway (either direction) would be a better venue for cars above N100.

I really liked this format and it was very easy to host. I reused the 1 race setting I had saved. We did roughly around 8 races in 40 minutes. So 5 minutes per race. Not only are the races fast paced, the time between is too. 👍

Looking forward to an opportunity to join in, should time zones permit.
