How many races have you planned for the series?

And what tracks can we expect to race?

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Coincidentally, I just started playing Tourist Trophy again 2 days ago. If you give us a bit more information on the race schedule, I might consider joining in the fun.

Also, if I were to sign up, would I have to race in each class or can I just do one? And I think you should make it a requirement to post sector times along with the full lap times, as it's pretty much a standard thing on GTPlanet. It would be nice if you published the split times after each round too, just for comparison. 👍

 

[senamic]

I am certainly entering, still thinking about which bikes to use.

 

[Kingofweasles]

I'm game for entering this! I'll probably enter the Super 1000 & Super Naked classes, but i need to check which bikes i should use too...

You can join as many as you want... thanks for the suggestion.


As its a short race series I'll run 6 rounds, the deadline for this round will be sometime next week, and generally speaking there will be about 7 or 8 days for each event.

Tracks, havent thought about them all yet, I want to run a few real life tracks and maybe some PD ones too (trial mountain is definite).

 

[balang_479]

Deadline added, its a little short but i dont have internet after tuesday for a couple of days, so the times will go up on wednesday morning. If people really need more time I can extend it by 5 days or so.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

I meant to say this earlier, but I think you should perhaps give a little time between sign-up and the first round. The deadline for round 1 is in 4 days and the thread has only had 74 views and 4 members (other than yourself) post in the thread.

I will enter though, once I've decided on a bike! 👍

 

[DJ Baker]

Assuming you're talking TT Mode, count me in. I might be able to rustle up a couple more people too.

You should make the 91hp TZ250 illegal in the 250 class. It's way faster than all the other 250s. Nearly as fast as the liter bikes at some tracks.

You might want to consider not letting the BMW K1200R & the Buell XB12R in the Naked class too. They're a bit more competent that the rest of the field.

 

[RacerPaul]

i'm in 👍

 

[Benanakin]

I'm interested too

Yes, is was gonna take the K1200R out, but didnt know the others were much faster as well... ill update the first post.

Thanks

Oh, you never seemed to clarify this, Balang_479. The difference between setting up the bikes in arcade and TT Mode is huge so some clarification would be great. 👍

 

[balang_479]

Yep all TT mode...

 

[C-ZETA]

Dang it, my TT's started red circle of deathing. Might have to count me out of this after all...

Here constitues my formal entry to the Tourist Trophy Time Attack Championship!

 

[Cap'n Jack]

how you all getting on?

Excellently, I hope! It's been a long time since I've been around some of these circuits, I almost forgot how thrilling Laguna Seca is, especially on a bike. I think I'll give the time trial one more go on Monday before submitting my time, I know I can go a bit faster. I've just got to get my corner exits a bit smoother, I tend to either accelerate too early or a bit too late.

I've never done any Tourist Trophy OLRs so it's going to be interesting to see where I stand, hopefully I'm as fast as I think I am.

I agree with Jackington about it being a requirement to post sector times T1 and T2.And then send you the final lap time>

 

[Cap'n Jack]

I agree with Jackington about it being a requirement to post sector times T1 and T2.And then send you the final lap time.

I actually meant that it should be a requirement to PM the sector times with the final lap time, which Balang_479 agreed to. But yeah, it would be nice to discuss the T1 and T2 sector times, it could make others push a bit harder which could hopefully produce closer time trial results in the end. Although, I don't think discussing T1 and T2 times should be required.

 

[balang_479]

Submitting splits times has been added, but I do want to keep any times secret until the end of the round when they will be released, just so that the pace of different drivers isnt releaved.
But if most people want to post them i dont mind.

Should that not say Riders

True, sorry.
