You can take a square and put it where you want the D# to go. Then size them to fit inside the borders of the square. Remove the square when finished. Now you have a D# lined up and good to go.

I don't have to really practice or make a livery so I'm just gonna paint it my usual blue and put the bare minimum stickers on. GTPlanet number plate, SNAIL logos, and one for Logitech to remind people I'm a wheel user.

I'll do this but I should be putting d-23 on account I'm going to suck
 
I'm gonna back out for tonight. Not enough practice and I know there are others that want to join so I don't want to take up a spot. I hope your first night runs well @BradESPN
 
So much for the "new DP", I could've put money on that one.

Guys run whatever livery you want, and you dont need to put a Division badge on your car. (and what does a non-snail do for that anyways)

Yea yea... watch me race you wheel to wheel next week :cheers:

Also, did anyone say you had to put a division badge on your car? Take whatever mental complex you have about me and throw it out the window.
 
I will be missing this one gentlemen. Have to run a couple errands that will keep me from being on the PS4 until after 10ish. Good luck everyone.
 
I have not run a clean lap either out of ~7. I'll be limping into the pits for sure.

I won't get lapped....so there's that.
 
I'll be honest and you'll see previous posts of mine in this topic that I'm not too keen on 60+ minute races. Being at the Nordschleife just makes it worse for me. If we're not there next week I should start warming up to the idea of a long race.

I just find it funny for someone to make all kinds of suggestions for how to run a series, what to do, what not to do, yet when it comes time to race (or half-way through a race) you're no where to be found. Time and time again.

Theres a term the BOBs came up with for it, its called DP'ing.

Wheres this new DP you've been touting?
 
My internet just crapped out so I’m restarting everything. Please get started with qualifying as scheduled and I’ll catch up.

I'm down in D3 far away from your quick ass :P I enjoy being a part of the building process whether I'm in the series or not. For awhile I wanted to build up my own series and it's really hard to be the big man in charge of everything.
 
Also not allowed to join Enduro
 
I actually did a lot better than I thought I would. No major damage. I did complete 3 laps with a busted right rear but it didnt affect me too much. I managed to run a sub 9. After 1.5hrs on that thing Im ready for it now.

I was the opposite, my lack of preparation for this race really got to me.
I don't think I had the best strategy, and I went off track at least 6 times, damage on two occasions that I ended up getting repaired (and again damage on the last lap, but I had a big lead on 5th and I was catching 3rd so I was really taking risks). A few mental errors too where I made mistakes, all in all I probably left 30 seconds on the track.

Ha...towards the end I started making mental errors. Started to space out and forget where I was. On the back side of the track, where all the esses are, is where I still need some practice. Could tell when you got damage by looking at the time I was gaining on you. This brings me to another issue - I watch the times too much to see if Im gaining on someone or visa versa - someone is gaining on me which causes me problems.

The minor damage I got didn't seem to hamper me too much until I got to the long straight.
Any minor damage means you're losing 2-3 seconds easily along that back stretch because your top speed is significantly lower.
 
That was my first time on that track since GTS came out. Bad move. I had to pit every 2 laps for one screw up or another. I won't let that happen again.
 
Things were going good for me, until my G27 crapped out!:banghead: I had a pit strategy that should have gotten me to the end of the race no problem and then my wheel went limp/free, the gas was mashed, brakes didn't work and couldn't even exit the race, I had to manually shut down the PS4. I really can't believe my horrible luck......I had my internet provider come to my house and replace some cables yesterday, replace the router with a brand new one(even a newer style that's supposedly better) and did some ping/packet testing and speed testing and everything looked great. I was able to join any lobby I wanted yesterday and able to race just fine. So now that I think I might have the network issue sorted, my wheel decides to give out.
I was going to replace it, and am still heavily thinking about doing so asap, but I just threw close to $2500 into maintenance on the Vette and dishing out another $400 or $500 for wheel/pedal setup right now, might not be the best idea, from a marriage stand point!
Maybe it's a sign, Lol. (and now I'm waiting for the 3rd thing to happen....don't things happen in 3):eek:
