Practice lobby currently open titled, "Barcelona Enduro Practice Full Stints No Race". Will keep up for at least an hour, just finished Season 4 Round 3 of the Manufacturer's Championship with Nissan for a 6th place finish against Turismo-lester and many of the AMS drivers. Follow me on GT Sport if you wish, replays are up for viewing and study by other Nissan drivers.

Next Race is January 5th at
Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya

Welcome to the 2019 - 1.5 Hour Gr.4 Endurance Race Season

Our Gr.4 Endurance Races are held on the first Saturday of every month. There is no point system or awards/gifts handed out for our race's. You are not punished in anyway if you miss one race.

Everyone must use a different Gr.4 Car. For those who plan on running the entire 2019 season a special car selection process is held at the end of each year to determine what car you will be using for the entire next season. For those who do not plan on running the entire season or anyone that signs up once the special car selection process is over you then must choose a car off the Available Car List on a first come first serve basis.

If you participate in the car selection process but can't make the following January race you will not lose your car or spot on the members list.

Our focus is on having a fun but very competitive & clean race without keeping score. Again you are able to miss one race without having to worry about it effecting you in any negative way.
So if you miss a race your spot on the list and your car will be held for you until the next monthly race.
However if you miss two races/two months in a row your name will then be pulled off the list and your car is returned to the Available Car List.

You can always sign back up at anytime and for any race as long as the members list is not full. You will also have to choose a car off the Available Car List again.

You are expected to race clean and to be respectful to all other racers. We have had some outstanding clean & competitive races so far and we want it to remain that way.
Just because we don't keep score this does not imply that we don't take our racing seriously
If you do not take this race seriously then you will be asked to leave.

Spoiler: Special Car Selection Saturday

The Next Gr.4 Special Car Selection Saturday will be held on December 21st at 7:00pm EST

At the beginning of every new season the car list gets wiped clean and for those who plan on running the entire season of (2020) will now have the chance to battle it out to determine their car selection position.

A Special Qualifying Session will be held so everyone will be using the same car with the same setup on the same track. Nobody will know the identity of the qualifying car or the track location until we are all in the lobby on that day including me.
I will choose one person that's not going to participate in this event to select the Car & Track for us. They will then enter the lobby on this day and reveal their choice to everyone for the first time. There will only be one restriction for the Car & Track that can be used. That is no 15 to 20 million credit cars just because not everyone has them all or can afford them all.

The person with the fastest qualifying time gets to choose their Gr.4 Car first for the season.
The Gr.4 Car selection will continue based on the qualifying times.

You will have the out lap for a warm up and then the next lap will be your qualifying lap. One lap is all you get so make it count.
Only one person will be allowed on the track at any given time during this Special Car Selection Qualifying Round. Everyone's cars will remain in the pits until your name is called upon to run your qualifying lap.

At no time will anyone be permitted on the track other than to do their qualifying lap. If you are caught driving on the track at any time other than your qualifying lap you will be disqualified from Car Selection Event.

Once you are finished with your qualifying lap please exit to the lobby screen where you can watch others run their qualifying laps. This will insure each person will have the track all to themselves but at the same time everyone will be able to watch your qualifying run (The pressures on).
I will record everyone's lap times after each run and set the grid order based on those lap times. Then we will go down that list in order based on fastest first as you will choose an Available Gr.4 Car that you wish to use for the entire season when it gets to you.

This special Qualifying Round will be held December 15th before the holidays and before New Season Begins.


1. One lap
2. Tires will be Race Softs or Sport Softs depending on the car type.
3. Track limit penalties will be set to high
4. Damage will be set to heavy
5. Car will remain completely stock with no tuning allowed except for the tire compound upgrade.

Just like in real racing push your car to hard and wreck and your qualifying run will be destroyed.
Abused the track limits and penalty will cost you a decent time.
There are some very sought after cars that will be on everyone list.
You will have to be on your best and not let the pressure or challenges facing you stand in your way for a chance at obtaining one of your top picks.

Good luck everyone.

Nice to see you back in GT man

 

[Schmiggz]

Ok, I'll just wait for the updated available car list but my favourites are all gone... that's a bummer.
Edit: after some reading I think the Alfa Romeo 4C is still available. I'll take that one.

 

[Clean Racer]

There's been a change in sponsorship on the AMG SLS Gr.4 Team. Team principles were able to secure some support from Factory reps. The pressure is on for clean and fair performances. The budget is bigger but it's yet to translate to on track. Here's hoping for a decent performance. Have a look at the new livery:

 

[DesertPenguin]

Just make sure your co-driver is Hamilton and not Bottas if you want to actually win

Did you also get that latest Merc hybrid power unit, same spec as the factory works cars???
Great looking car.

 

[Infineon]

Cruising around and sightseeing in Spain. See ya in Barcelona!

 

[DesertPenguin]

Well since we're posting our cars...

 

[Clean Racer]

Off thei pace but working hard at it:

 

[Cold Warrior]

I posted my livery on GT Sport. It's a close as possible replica livery of the first known Corvette Race Car but, with modern sponsorship. I need to pay for damages somehow.

 

[Schmiggz]

When will i know if me and my car choice was accepted?

 

[DesertPenguin]

When will i know if me and my car choice was accepted?

@Rinsky will get around to it as soon as he can. I know he and his wife just had a second baby arrive not even two months ago now so there's that. No worries youre most likely in as someone usually drops out or doesn't show up

 

[Infineon]

When will i know if me and my car choice was accepted?

Rinsky just replied back to me in a short and sweet text. He's currently staying with family out of town for the holidays. I'm assuming he's out of cell phone range. He didn't specify when he'll be back home.

 

[Traels]

Well here's to hoping i'm stuck with the McLaren.. i did a livery for it now:

 

[QTip8329Wags]

Anyone interested in some full stint practice in a lobby? It's 1 a.m. E.S.T. and I can't sleep. Currently working on livery and making .svg decals, will check back here every 5-10 minutes.

 

[QTip8329Wags]

Done racing for tonight, it's 3 a.m. here. However, my livery is complete...for now.
