MSN 1.5hr Manufacturer's Endurance Race Series

[Alpha Cipher]

For me that is a reason to not join, internet racing leads to a lot of frustration already. I would love to race with you guys, but if everyone else is going to know where the race is (and thereby are going to practice the track and have advantage) I rather playing arcade solo. I don't see the point of this secrecy, do you want to discourage new racers?

This might just be a misunderstanding. The concept behind this is that people who finish a lap down on the race leader would be given the chance to practice the new track, while the people who finished within the same lap as the race leader have proved themselves in that race to be capable and fast. By letting the people a lap down practice in advance, while keeping the people who finished within the same lap as the race leader (including the leader themselves) are kept in the dark, the former people have a chance to hone their times on the next race, and hopefully bring the whole field closer together

I don't think it's stated anywhere that newcomers can't see the new track, but I'm not sure so go double-check. I highly recommend this race series though, it's more casual and laid back compared to the others that are posted here. Although, many other people signed up already, so you might want to be one of the first in the upcoming race lobby if you want to participate

Apologies for the misunderstanding, I was sure I didn't get this properly, now I do. It makes a lot of sense, it's a sort of Balance of Performance for drivers. I love the idea.

If is possible I'd like to register, we can't repeat cars, right? all must be different.

No worries!

Yep, choose a car that hasn't been chosen yet

What cars are still available? You are running 2 lobbies for this edition if I'm not wrong, right?

 

[Alpha Cipher]

Ask @Rinsky or @Infineon about the available cars and whether they'll run two lobbies this month- they run this racing league

 

[Kano Manel]

This is the List of available cars right now. Does not matter which one you choose just as long as you like it.

Lexus
Veyron
Ferrari
Mercedes
McLaren
Subaru
NSX
Scirocco
4C

Is this current? I think the Subaru, McLaren and Ferrari are taken, the Merc is a no go (overstering bratwurst sausage), could I join with the NSX ?? Thanks

It does say new drivers will not know the track.

I believe he said he’ll only run two lobbies if all cars are taken. One would have 16 and the other would have 11

could I join with the NSX ?? Thanks

Yes, it looks to be available.

Thanks for the clarification

@Alpha Cipher thank you for answering questions for me while I was sleeping. Your awesome.

The current updated list is always kept on the first page first post.

Yes the NSX is available and it's your.

@Alpha Cipher explained the reason we keep the track a Secret from certain members and why others get the track location.
Now I do have it posted that if your new you don't get the track location but It's just so everyone doesn't expect to get it.
We have fast people sign-up all the time and I know they are fast so of course I'm not handing out that information but I have been known to give it out to people coming in to this race who are do not run a pace that out leaders do.
I love your BOP reference for drivers because that's kinda the idea.

If you feel that you really need it then it is possible to get you that information.
Most of the time I will not hand it out to anyone with a DR B & SR S or above.

@Infineon is the person you will need to contact to get the July 7th track location because I finished on the lead lap last race so I don't even know what the location is this time.

@Rinsky I just now realized that the IRS Yokohama Prototype Series starts on the same night. They always race Saturdays at 9pm EST. The lowest points night of the season gets dropped so I have to decide if I want to use that one the first night to make an appearance at your event.

If you can't make it we understand. There will always be the August race. You car will be saved for you unless you miss the August race too.

I noticed that too. But it maybe possible to finish this race and quickly make it to IRS before they start. Who knows, they might encounter a problem and delay it a few minutes. Or if we ask nicely they might start a little later

 

[Kano Manel]

Thanks @Rinsky for this, I explained wife already that I must be awake after midnight (England) because "I have been invited to an endurance race, and I can't decline... that would be rude..."

My rank is D, I'm a clean driver but not excessively fast, this is my best time at Dragon's, might give you a clue of how slow I am (about 4 seconds slower than an A+... per lap. I'm terrible with numbers but in a 90 minutes race you are probably lapping a circuit 50-65 times, at the end I'd be 3 minutes behind aprox.). But I'm happy to race anyways, I need the practice.

[FlyinHawaiian77]

I'm in the same boat as @DesertPenguin. The Corvette will be free if anyone wants to grab it.

 

[Kano Manel]

if anyone wants to swap please let me know, I'm using Nissan GTR in manufacturers and would make things much easier if I could drive it, instead of the NSX

I will have Infineon message you the location.

I can't give out the GTR yet because Im not 100% sure if that person will be at this next race or not. But if they are a no show you can have it.

 

[Venster]

Predicting a massive nerf for the Mégane Trophy in the near future, which I’m inclined to believe it needs!

 

[ynot]

DVR

 

[Rinsky]

DVR

I'm going to try and make your race tonight. No promises though not sure if I will be back home in time.

 

[DesertPenguin]

What race is tonight? I'm at work 'til 9

 

[Rinsky]

Ynot has a Gr.B race at 9

 

[DesertPenguin]

Oh right, Gr. B Races. My bad

 

[Kano Manel]

Sorry guys, I just discovered that I'm working the 7th of july I can't work 14 hours and race properly. I'd be a problem rather than anything else (mobile chicane). The NSX is free then, sorry about that.

 

[Cold Warrior]

Hello. I'm checking in for tatjana001. It's nice to see you opened. I saw my name and car are still on the list. Does this mean I wasn't kicked out?

 

[RoadRageDudez]

Think i might be able to sneak in for the 7th on this one.

 

[Rinsky]

Hello. I'm checking in for tatjana001. It's nice to see you opened. I saw my name and car are still on the list. Does this mean I wasn't kicked out?

That's absolutely correct. You & your car are still on the list. I know you had said your missing the July race so you will still be on the list for the August race should you decide to join us.
Hopefully you will.

 

[Cold Warrior]

I thought you kicked me since you deleted me as a friend on PSN. Which would make racing in August a problem.

 

[Rinsky]

I did the same with tatjana001 also.
But not for the reason you might think. I was told that people were practicing the next track without being hidden and I didn't want to know what it was so I took a few people off my friends list so it would stay hidden to me.
I have every plan on adding everyone back in.
