As mentioned last week, I want to try and see if the lobbies have improved so we can start racing again on Tuesday nights. To that end, I will be hosting a race night this coming Tuesday (7/14/15) @ 9:00 and would be great to have as many of you there as possible as it seems the issue were around the larger rooms so if you can make it (even if just for a portion of the night) that would really help with the testing.
Additionally, Im going to simplify the series with the following changes.
4 week season
Two - 30-40 min races (with separate qualifying sessions)
Each week will be at two locations (different tracks each season)
Some will be day races, some will be night races)
KOQ process will remain the same for the most part.
Season 1 will be using a GT3 car (still looking to see how the BoP) is for these.
Based on all that, bring out your favorite GT3 car and lets run some short races (5/7 laps) this week at the following tracks.
Race 1 - Watkins Glen-GP
Race 2 - Sonoma Raceway-GP
Race 1 - Silverstone-GP
Race 2 - Brands Hatch-GP
Race 1 - Brno Circuit
Race 2 - Monza-GP
Race 1 - Sakitto-GP
Race 2 - Road America
Again, I really hope you can be there this coming Tuesday. If all goes well, we can restart the series next week. Please confirm below if you plan to attend the test session this week (7/14/15) and what car you think you will drive.
Confirmed drivers for this weeks session (no KOQ this week, first 16 drivers to confirm)
As mentioned below, I will be hosting a test session tonight so we can see if the lobbies have improved and we can get the series started up. We have 7 drivers for tonight but would love to have a few more. I plan to open the lobby @8:30 with the first race around 9:00pm eastern. It w ill be short races 5-7 laps with 5 min qualifying and 5-10 mins between races. Hope to see you there. If interested, please reply below so I can get an invite to you

I will not make it in time. I went on vacation with the wife for our anniversary and my work piled up while I was gone. I will be attending any future races possible though.
Did not have one bit of fun with the GT3 cars. The idea of having different types of cars isn't bad but I like it better with one set car so that it mostly comes down to driving. I have mixed feelings about participating in this next season if it is going to be the GT3 class. I wouldn't mind if it was only one specific car and not any of them in a class. It was not nearly as fun or competitive with mixed cars as it was with everyone in the E30 M3s where it was one set car.
I just like the idea of one car with everyone in different liveries more. That is just my honest opinion. I'm not really digging the GT3 cars as much as anyone else it seems but I don't know. Might just sit this season out guys. :/
I don't mind the mixed cars, but GT3 and faster are probably beyond my ability. I'm 3 times the driver in GT, but that game is no longer attractive to me at all. although this game is more fun, being competitive online with a controller doesn't seem very feasible, especially with this group.
@austindeckerGT5 - I fully understand where you are coming from and not every season will be mixed cars. That said, I think you will be fine and these are short seasons.
@Lessen - Tonight was tough as there was very limited time to get ready for each track. I also struggled a bit but again, with track time and laps, you will be up to speed in no time. Hang in there
