Alright as usual thank you everyone who chose to miss some of the real 24 Hours of Daytona race. To come and race tonight.

We get a week of next week. Next is Mount Panorama in 2 weeks. First at track without full lighting. Mount Panorama is very dark at night. Especially at the kink and chicane at the of the long back straight. No walls there for the highlights to reflect off of.

I have added two 40 Minutes specials to the league schedule for March 28th. One race for both the Gr.4 and Gr.3 classes. Both races will be held on Blue Moon Bay Infield B. The Gr.4 class will run the reverse layout and the Gr.3 class will run the forward layout. These races will held without BOP. And full tuning with exception of engine swaps. And yes you may change your car for these races. Also while they are considered exhibition races. There's a small points payouts for the top 3 of both races.

After some testing. Do to the rather violent transition for the Blue Moon Road Courses. I've decided to reverse my decision for which class will race which duration. I'll have the Gr.4 run the forward layout. And run Gr.3 the reverse. It will get dark at the end of these specials. While the track does have lighting. They don't work for some reason.

New Cars Car Change Policy
Should PDI add a new car(s) that meets regulations current league after the league has already start. A one way free car change will allowed with the following conditions. 1) This is a one way offer. You will not be allowed to change back free. 2) You may freely change to the new car(s) only. 3) You must make this change for your first start after the car(s) are added. Should any these conditions not be met. Then you will still receive the traditional car change penalty. Also please note if this change requires you to switch classes. Points are still not transferable between classes.

In other news I'll possibly host extra practice for the Mount Panorama this Friday. I've yet to get any in practice time myself. Been focusing on the Wednesday Night league and Gran Turismo's Manufacturers Cup race. And the Mountain from down under is not usually nice to me. So thankfully the race is next week.

I'm more concerned of how low the helicopters fly to the race track. And the alien abductions nobody seems to be doing anything about.

Its a cow that gets abducted, isn't it? I have seen neither a cow or a UFO yet. I have not seen the Kangaroos either. But it also took me until last year to see the rocket launch at Daytona.

Yes it's a cow abducted. Man Australia beef prices most be horrible with so many cows getting abducted. Honestly I'm not surprised you didn't see it yet. It's difficult to spot because it's far in distance from the track. Especially while concentrating on driving.
I'm not even sure if I remember correctly where it is.

The rocket launch at Daytona is much easier see at night. And you need to be facing the back straightaway.

I have yet to find the new location of the monkey on Trial Mountain. Nor have I seen the lock Ness monster. Not sure what it's doing in North Eastern California. I have seen the bear though.
 
A reminder guys we are off this week. We race Mount Panorama next Saturday. Unlike the locations of our first 3 races. Mount Panorama does not have proper lighting. It will get very dark at night. If you're having trouble seeing. Note fo allow the driving line aid and it can serve more than one purpose. Like helping these with poor night vision see in the dark. Anyways see you in a week.

Hey guys 4 days out until our next race at Mount Panorama. Sharing the over the mountain section between the classes should be interesting. Likely not the ideal place to catch Gr.4 traffic. A sunset start because Australia likes to be different. And as I've stated before. It will get very dark for this race. With exception for the pit straight there isn't much lighting for this track. Please make you run the appropriate headlight colors for easier identification. See you in a few days.

Passing slower cars won't be a problem for me, I doubt I will be passing anyone, this is not a good track for me. All I can say for anyone who gets close to me, "LOOKOUT!!!!!".

Yeah Mount Panorama is a like hate relationship for me. I do like the track but, it is rarely nice to me. At least you should be able to out pace the Gr.4 cars. Well except for maybe Josa. He was 3 seconds faster than Michel-QC_21 at Yas Marina.

I wouldn't put money on me passing the GR4 cars.☹️
 
Hey guys just 2 days left until our next race at Mount Panorama. Hope you remembered to practice your pit entry here as well. Because someone didn't think the track was difficult enough. So how about a nice sharp left hander for followed by a few chicanes in the pit entrance. That will be fun to negotiate on worn tires. If you miss the pits and get reset on track you'll have to drive around. Gran Turismo will just keep resetting you try entering past the pit lane. Anyways see you in a couple days.
 
Alright race night at Mount Panorama. Yes I didn't put this race on the same weekend as the 12 Hours of Bathurst on purpose. Remember to ignore any alien abductions you see. Floating cows are perfectly normal in Australia. And don't try petting the Kangaroos. No seriously they're not as friendly as movies betray them to be. Especially don't go swimming with them. They really like to drown things. Anyways see you soon guys.

Hey guys I have a lot of stuff going on at the end of the next week. I'm considering moving our next race from February 21st to February 28th. Which is the next postponement date.
 
I've decided to go through with postponement of race 5 at Tokyo Expressway South Clockwise from February 21st to February 28th. Enjoy your extra week off. This means race 5 and 6 will be back to back. Race 6 will be at Le Mans No Chicane on March 7th. The weather patterns for this race are model after the 1979 24 Hours of Le Mans. You can expect the 2nd half of this race to very very wet.

I will probably miss LeMans, I have to wash my hair.
 
Hey guys happy holiday weekend. With our next race being moved back a week. This Saturday is 2 weeks until our next race at Tokyo Expressway South Clockwise. I'm not sure if when I'll be able to held an extra practice yet. I haven't worked on the Corvette. Since I used all 4 stock liveries. Guess I have to get more creative with that too.
