I realize that I need to learn to run MT before Sunday...... 90 minutes on AT with no short shifting is going to kill my fuel economy

I wouldn't worry about that too much, mate. I've not had to worry about fuel economy in any of my tests.

I've been thinking today. Does anyone know if any long races have been saved & uploaded to the PSN? Maybe somebody else has done a race like this & that way people can not only rewatch it if they can't see it, but also see the telemetry. Just a thought.

Uploaded to PSN? Not sure I follow, mate.

 

[NoStopN]

Practically everything in GTS can be shared. Replays are one of those things. I was talking to Pigems about my game saying that it runs out of space to save more replays. I don't really think a 90 minute endurance race can be saved. Some ballpark figure would put it somewhere near 300 GB. I'll try to do some more calculations, but it's probably too much data for one PS4 to store.

 

[NoStopN]

Ok, calculations completed. There is a possibility that the entire race replay could be saved. Looks like it may be 4-500 MB, not GB. I made room in my PS4 so I have over 2000 MB. I'll save it once we're done & upload that to the PSN.

Note to self. Must behave.

Alright guys, we all ready to go tomorrow?

I'll open the room at 12:45PST - 15:45EST - 20:45GMT. Gr.1 qualification will start 15 mins after the room opens, and last 15 mins. From there, either park up on track, or head in to the pits so us Gr.3 can run our 15 min quali. Once that's done, head out on to the track if you've pitted. I'll then start the race.

 

[RacingGrandpa]

Ready.

 

[Sven Jurgens]

Ready! I'm preparing hard by racing on N24 all day, err...

 

[Invisigoth]

I seem to have missed something. As far as I was aware, the race wasn't for another day and a half away?

Yep. I’ll see you all in Spain.

You live in the future! or past? so confusing. What day is it there.

I'll be a time traveler too, 2am to 3am will happen twice tonight, so erm the race starts an hour earlier I guess. All the clocks adjust themselves nowadays, should be fine!

 

[JoeyLeonine]

@Invisigoth

9pm GMT Sunday 3rd November.

I'm too ignorant to work out how it translates but I believe that'll likely be somewhere around 8-9am Monday 4th for you?

My current preparation strategy is to hope you lot are all wasting your time at Spa and will forget how to drive around Catalunya.

 

[MaxAttack]

I'll be ready. Exam week for me, though, so I'll probably try to minimise the time taken out of my day, so I might be a little out of practice/not warmed up when it comes to start time.

Excited for this though, should be a blast

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Ready! I'm preparing hard by racing on N24 all day, err...

I've done exactly the same all week, at least it's all been in my Catalunya car.

31 hours to go. However that works out

 

[Granadier]

Ready to go. Can't wait!

I need to practice around that track

 

[Chevy Heavy]

Looking forward to it. I'll see you guys tomorrow at the track.

Does Daylight Savings end tonight, I forgot about that? Like you said it's changes automatically.

 

[JoeyLeonine]

I just did a 15 minutes Qualy sim with fuel on x15... It was interesting...

The AMG '16 has a 2.7 lap range (I imagine most will be similar) at that setting. Meaning its 1 hit wonder territory. I've come to realise I am not good enough for that!

After aborting pretty much every hot lap I tried meaning I had to come back in to splash and dash, I eventually held it together for a pedestrian 46.2xx at the last time of asking...

Tomorrow will be very... interesting...

edit: I'm an idiot. Its x10 for qualy for tomorrow. Ignore me.

 

[JoeyLeonine]

Incidentally after playing again with the 'correct' settings I've reached the point where I'm actually faster through consistency on the mediums than the softs...

Oh well...

 

[RacingGrandpa]

I have to time how long the pitstop is, so I know what compound to run... Well, this is all new and fun

 

[Kuraudo]

Tomorrow? No big expectations, no bigger dissapointments... I know my place .

I had forgotten about it too. Thankfully, the fall back doesn't occur at race time, so nobody should miss. The only clocks I'd have to reset are manual watches (I have 1) & the clock in my truck.

I don't know how to change the time on the clock in the car. I know it's 14 minutes fast in summer, and 1 hour 14 fast in winter

I expect to be last with a big grin on my face.

 

[El_Beardo]

So, this is one of the very few times I'm glad to be in the UK. Our clocks went back last weekend.

Apparently, to the early 1800's . .

Still, it's an extra hour before Brexit destroys the Welsh economy.

Ah yes. When all those EU sheep farming subsidies run out...

We're screwed here in the south east when it happens. Gridlock city. But at least we've still got some freedom of movement until January now!

@Kuraudo @RacingGrandpa I'm already fully committed to the wooden spoon competition. We'll see if @Invisigoth plans on making it a four-way!!
