Fast forward to the end of mine or Neuttys stream and you'll be able to see it

I just did that - unfortunately I didn't see fastest lap.
Alas, here are the updated results as of the end of week 3.

Great race tonight everyone. It didnt take us long to break in Le Mans. I had plenty of experience racing that in GT6 on the controller, but that was my first time outside of last night that I've been able to race the real way with a wheel. What a blast - @Kgffy you're missing out.

I can honestly say I was accident free all night, except for one almost costly mistake with 10 minutes left in the race. I was so frantic trying to keep it held together I spazzed out and hit the start button inadvertently while trying to save it. I just want to clear that up incase anyone sees my stream and thinks I was trying to take advantage of the start menu AI driving, it was a total accident.



Thats endurance racing for you I guess, spend an hour and twenty minutes driving clean just to have 1 mistake almost ruin your race. I also made the mistake of starting with SH's, and quickly realized (thanks Gunny) that SM's were the way to go. I dont know why, but I've always joined these endurance events with the mindset that it will be faster in the long run to conserve fuel by short shifting and staying on the harder compound and stretching out as many laps as you can. It hasnt worked for me yet.



@BradESPN You should update the OP to reflect this:



Because right now it still says the winner picks the next combo.

Cheers guys. Didnt think I'd be having this much fun doing Endurance races.

Thanks for the heads up - I've updated the OP to say the following:

The car/track combo for each week will be chosen by the driver with the most points for the current season. Any drivers that have already made a combo selection in the current season are ineligible.
 
Just a reminder that if you participated in yesterday's race, but you aren't an Official or Provisional driver, you'll need to re-commit for next week's race in order to guarantee yourself a spot. Here are the current lists:

Official Drivers For May-July 2018 Season:
@Sean Renon / MalevolentFather
@Neutty
@TEX36 / TEX-36
@Mully465
@spidermonkey / x_SIK_PUPPY_x
@SAMHAIN85
@stelephant
@vsfit

Provisional Drivers For May-July 2018 Season:
@keepitsteady / speedcenter
@FREEREVN​

Alternatively, you can elect to become a Provisional driver, which will guarantee yourself a spot in every race for the rest of the season. If you plan on racing in at least 75% of the races, this is definitely your best bet.

At the end of the season (the last race is on 7/10), the Provisional drivers will become Official drivers automatically (allowing them to compete for the next season championship), and we'll allow anyone else to commit to being an Official driver as well. Another "perk" to becoming an Official driver is you'll be guaranteed a spot in the main lobby. For example, if we have 14 Official drivers, 2 Provisional drivers, and 6 Interested drivers, the lobbies would be broken down like this:

Main Lobby - 14 Official drivers
Extra Lobby - 2 Provisional drivers and 6 Interested drivers​

We can't split up Official drivers because they're competing for the season championship. If we have more than 16 Official drivers, they will be split up into two divisions before the season starts and the drivers in each of those divisions will be racing together, guaranteed.

I like this solution.
To add a second thought, if we have 2 lobbies - does the winner of lobby 1 choose the car/circuit and the winner of lobby 2 choose whichever the winner didn't elect to choose?

Or just keep track selection with whomever won the main race.

If we have two lobbies, but only one division (like we might this season), points will only be awarded to drivers in the "main" lobby. Yet another reason to become an Official driver...

If we have two divisions at some point, we'll need to figure out combo selection again. Maybe just alternate weeks (i.e. D1 picks one week, D2 the next, etc.)

I was actually interested yesterday because not a race car being used but decided to test Prize c then later saw full room whitch is cool. Hopefully some slower cars like Miata, brz will be used at a smaller track would be cool.
 
Neutty
If you want into the combo on Tuesday please tag Brad and “reserve” a spot.
I only say this because I can see a lot of people wanting to join in on this combo.

We can always have two lobbies open if it gets that big or try with 24 instead of 16 and test how much it affects connections/any lag

Can we actually open the room up. I was under the impression we are locked out at 16 by polyphony
 
I remember it being talked about that you can get 24. Is that only in sport mode?
