I think I will be able to make it tonight. I may even stream the event as well. I have zero laps on this combo at this time.
Not too tough a combo to pick up on (sarcasm here). No walls = good times, walls = pit stops for damage repairs.

Last night the field was thin... traffic will definitely make the tight areas dangerous. As @TEX36 alluded to with passing - “Mt Patience”

We've now had over 16 people participate in an endurance race, with some newcomers joining this week. Which means we need a backup plan in place in case we need a second room.

Here's my idea, but other suggestions would be lovely:

- When/if we get to 16 drivers, 8 drivers will need to leave
- We need a backup host for this - any volunteers?
- The 8 departing drivers will be:
- The host who just volunteered
- Anyone who has never raced with us before
- (If still not at 8) Drivers that have raced with us, starting from the bottom of the current standings​

We'll need a better plan in place once we consistently need two rooms, but for now I think this will suffice.
 
I like to walk the wild side and show up with no practice, so far it hasn't worked out for me over the last two races..

I can assure you it wont end well. I have a good amount of practice at this point. Last night I had planned on quitting half way through (wife) but me and @SAMHAIN85 were in a good race after 45 mins. WELL...on griffens bend of all places (and this is by far is not the easiest place to wreck) I lost it doing major damage to the engine. I had to limp the rest of the loooong way around the track. And as @Sean Renon said last week, its hard to get your mojo back after being in such a rhythm for a long time.

I should mention my car is painted like a Japanese zero so this may have had something to do with it.

In a way, this is a great problem to have...
 
I seriously doubt we will race tonight. Servers keep dumping the room from me.

19:34 and no room is shown for our event.

I see no room either. Shows 5 friends in lobbies, but only Tex's room shows up and I can't connect to it.
 
Full room dumped all drivers instantly, without warning.
With Maintenance tonight I suspect the Servers are having problems

I don't have a room open.
Have restarted the PS4 three times.
 
Brad has a room open now
