I'm with you. It's actually about 90 miles away from my house. I still don't care. We have an in flux of out of state people up this far.

Racing > most everything.
 
Ok, here's a video every one can use as a guide for track boundaries.

I was on the absolute limit with this lap (pole lap) so it gets close at times, but you can tell. Key moments are the two chicanes, the solid white line is for road traffic, not the track, so it's ok to get inside it, you only need to end up on the rumble strip on exit.

Also, yes, don't hit the green bollards.

Ah, the Elise. That was a fun car to drive.

Hated that endurance race, though. 👎

Still need word on official qualifying procedures. Are we doing straight up laps (like on the vid) or will be be taking sector times?
 
Qualifying will be the same as always, except you only get 1 flying lap. Outlap, Flyer, Inlap.

No weather for the race. I'm not sure if I want to do the 24h-cycle or not yet, but at the very least it'll be real time, with time change on.

Also, yes, don't hit the green bollards.

I have no problem with that, so long as you're keeping 2 wheels on the track. I know in real life, you're not supposed to hit those, but the OLR mentions nothing about them.
 
Kind of drives me nuts when I watch someone go through one of those corners and wipe out all the pylons. Not really necessary IMO, and if it was up to me I would penalize for doing so.
 
It always happens during the race, anyway, intentional or not. I never had a problem with it, personally.

Ok, that brings up another question. What if someone uses too much track during their Q run? Should we just tack on a 5 second penalty?

Might as well do the full cycle. Adds a nice touch to the race. Guessing the race will be about an hour and 40 minutes so the default setting will probably work.

It's not like I do it intentionally. Sometimes, I lose the nose of the car and I knock one or two down. :dunce:
 
There are corners you can attack and knock down the bollards and still keep two wheels on track. So I'd like official word on it! :)

I'm assuming it's not allowed, so far, though. I won't have time to practice until saturday anyway, so I can wait.

btw I'm surprised no one's brought this up but, isn't the super bowl this Sunday?
Click to expand...
Funny thing is, I asked off for Sunday for this and Pure, never thinking of the Super Bowl. :lol:
Now I realize it's a prime time call-off day, but hey, I got off anyway. :D

5 seconds, yeah.

GV, pretend that the bollards don't exist. :)

Also when I get home from work I'll open up a room if someone wants to qualify. Until then, contact someone else, and they can do it.

I'm going to be playing football with some friends until 3 tomorrow. I may or may not make it home for the race. If I do, I'll start last.
 
Will be there in 10 mins or so. WIll get the car tuned, ready to Q. Then I'll qualify. :D

Edit: won't let me join. WTF GT5

Ok. One of you guys create a room. Mine just went bad. :indiff:

(Odd because I had others join with no problems earlier)
 
Created a room, lets see if no problems occur:

Don't know why I don't go wider with the ride height gap. Went 10/5 and ran a 1:49 so I think I have my setup for the race. 👍
 
Oh. My.

I just figured out why I've been so slow with the car.

I've been running with the power limiter on, at 458 hp. That explains a lot.

:dunce::dunce::dunce::dunce::dunce:
 
Im not last?! :0 Wow, I guess Owens must have went off as well. Praying I can hang on to the draft of the front runners.
 
So yeah, by the way, I was running consistent, solid, slow laps of 53's all of practice time last night, said the hell with it, ran my qualifying, turned that 50.9, 3rd lap was a 50.2, and now I can run 50.xxx pretty easily, go figure. :confused:

Just thought I'd share that bit of weirdness, cause I certainly don't know what I did differently between the two, or what would have changed for 3 seconds of time instantly. :boggled:

Could the bug be on free run as well? :confused:

Hush you. I crashed. Out of Porsche curves I think it's called. Got a tick wide still legal. Car hopped in the Speed Bumps there and stepped rear out. Tried to save it but got a nasty snap back and just went into conserve mode.

Beginning of the lap I touched dirt on exit of chicane. :( that was the start of the worst qualifying lap I may have ever done.

Could be worse I guess. Not sure how.

Missed braking point on the right corner after the long straight. Went straight into the sand. Took a while to get out of it :(
