PURE | CALM - Hey, it's mixed class Le Mans endurance racing.

[Joshua1994]

Anybody up for a room within the next few hours? Just popping the gym, if there isn't one open I'll open one up in around 2-3 hours or so.

 

[joetruckv8]

Results are up

Big hand to Daniel Page and Sebastian Loeb for going flag-to-flag for the full 7 bonus


Wii : when looking at the replay you were only 10s behind Remy when GT5 gave up on you... and I was 15s behind you. Then when I ran out of fuel I was only 20s back from Remy. so close to giving him a proper run down.

Eh, and to top it off Audi Sport GT goes 1-2

p.s. Oh, a big mean snake was spotted in the Virginia countryside recently.

So is this why Dodge is pulling out of Nascar?

 

[Dr_Watson]

I'm not so trained but I will qualify tomorrow, I want to race!

Good to hear. This is our track so Citroen needs to make up some ground on Audi. 👍

Technically that car's built by SRT and most of the race-team is privateer. Not a full-on factory effort.
FIAT probably just doesn't see the point of NASCAR.

 

[Müle]

Fiat had nothing to do with it. The same guy whos CEO of SRT also runs Dodges NASCAR program. With Penske switching to Ford, all of the major teams were now with the competition, and most of the smaller teams had working agreements with the bigger teams. The choice was between working with a smaller team, and probably lose tons of money, or save their money and pull out.

 

[mcfizzle]

I'm hoping to race this weekend but I have no practice so far and Monza is probably one of the tracks I've spent the least time on in Gt5. I will get some practice tomorrow and make a decision then.

 

[joetruckv8]

I need to schedule Q session, do any of you stewart guys know what time you'll be on tomorrow (Saturday)?

 

[Husqvarman]

Sorry guys, I won't be able to race tomorrow ( due to my job)

edit : (sunday)

seems pretty much the size of it

 

[TheBook]

Internet at the house is out. IF it is back (and reliably so) by tomorrow afternoon, I'll be there. If not, I won't bother.

 

[paulmac2k9]

Did a practise session tuned some of the oversteer out and feel the car handles nice now. Did a PB of 1:46.9 with a bit left in it. (Maybe .3 of a second ) Is that a good lap time?

 

[Paginas1]

Might have to miss this race as its the end of the Olympics and I will have to sit down and watch the closing ceremony with the miss

I'm sure it is there was some fellas earlier tlking about 47's and 46's, but I wouldn't be suprised if I saw a 44 or 45 out there. I believe your at mid pack race pace tho!

 

[mcfizzle]

I plan on running tomorrow as long as I can forgo qualifying and start at the rear of the LMP field.

It's looking the same here, I haven't been able to catch a qualifier yet! I'm more than cool starting off at the back' 👍

 

[Litchi]

Anyone up to watch my Q plz?

EDIT: I think Round 4 will be postponed due to lack of participation
Let's see what Eddie thinks.

 

[paulmac2k9]

I will if you watch mine .

Actualy yeah Will you make a good point...

 

[Litchi]

sure

Jeeebus. Somehow CALM's clashed with almost every major holiday, sporting event, or event this Summer xD

Everything except Le Mans of course, but that was the whole idea.
fun-y

Anyway, I'm heading off for the night so I may not make my Q today either. I'll be put on the waiting list for LMP like McFizzle since there should be plenty of room.

Cheers

 

[joetruckv8]

Or do regular room quailing for this round since so many missed out this week!

[Dr_Watson]

well... we have 4 qualifiers.

 

[WiiFreak]

I'm ready to go for tomorrow if we do race... however I'm not going to bother qualifying if we only have 4 qualifiers so far

 

[OwensRacing]

Practice room? On and will look.

 

[Wardez]

yeah, we'll just see how many show up :/

I suppose the DNQs can be ordered by connect time.

 

[Müle]

I wasn't planning on racing this for a few reasons:

-I wanted to watch the Watkins Glen race
-I have no wheel
-I'm in a Nissan which will be slow here
-absolutely no practice

If the Cup race is boring for some reason, I may show up anyway. I'm not completely ruling this out.

I'm ~75 miles upwind from the track and we've been getting lots of rain all night. So there's that too.

 

[joetruckv8]

I didn't get much practice either so I'll be driving more cautious than anything else, but If room number goes up I will join!

 

[gippone]

Can I join the race starting from the back?

EDIT: NEVER MIND, something came up for tonight ... can't race .. sorry
