I really want long beach now, I tried Monaco with the Indycar and it is just sublime! Feels perfect for that style of track.

Yea, IndyCar has their signature tracks as much because of drivers as anything. Personally, I'd love to see Pocono and Mid-Ohio in there too someday.

Going to miss tom guys..I thought I just pulled a muscle in my foraem and hand but . Its been a week and its got alot worse..going to use down time to try to build my rs1 rig.hope to be back by next week sometime.Race on!

 

[Peter Hooper]

Sorry to hear that Eric. I hope it improves quickly now on.

Rs1 rig... whats that?

Yea, my legs are killing me for some reason. NO practice and can hardly sit for any length of time. Hope it clears up.

 

[Peter Hooper]

Looks like or should be light cloud for most of the event. Then clear for a few hours before heavier cloud towards the end.

 

[Rob]

This is a no go for me right now. I have to figure out what is wrong with my calfs. I don't want to risk any clots or such, even though it's not common. Still dangerous.

Sorry to hear that Rob. That's not good. Whats caused that? I propose we postpone this one and run it another time. Its low numbers even when everyone makes it but losing two of you and not being sure if anyone else is making it I think calling it off for tonight is the sensible thing to do.

 

[EpilepticToast]

yeah I could make it but we need more people for this one, it's le mans! I don't mind if PPd, could probably get some interest from others to run this race for fun too

 

[Peter Hooper]

Yeah I can make it too but running with just the two of us makes no sense really. I'll call it as postponed and we'll look at rescheduling it. Hopefully we can get more bodies in for it

 

[Rob]

Sorry guys. Yea, I agree, although we could run AI, more would be better. Personally, I have no problem with A.I., but I know others do.

I know it seemed sudden, but it was coming on for a while. I really still don't know why it happened or if it will return. It may have been medication related, although I'm not sure. Typically, though, you can't feel anything in or through your blood vessels, as they have no nerve endings. So, I don't think it was a clot, but just swelling. That, however, was painful.

I'm going to try to get some practice in tonight. I will post next weeks race too. As for this one, we can do whatever most want. I'm up for anything. I missed practicing, and look forward to getting back. Thanks again.

 

[Matthew Booth]

Hope all is well Robert.

If it gets scheduled for a midweek race ill take part

Thanks Booth. We all miss you. I'd be down for mid week, but me and Eric have Tuesday and Eric has Wednesday, with me possibly joining. That leaves Thurs and Fri, but the latter is probably not good. And the same time zone issue comes with Weekdays. But I like the idea.

1. Pit stop not required but may be advisable, at driver's discretion.

2. Standing Start. (Please resolve all wheel/Controller issues, if possible, in the warmup before the race).

3. All League and Race Department Rules apply, with the stewards able to issue penalties even though no protest was filed. Please record your races and make them available via Twitch or YouTube.

4. There will be no breaks in between sessions, so be sure to take your break before or after qualifying if needed.

COMMS: Please refrain from continuously giving play-by-pay on mic while in race, and test your mic sensitivity before the race so that it is not unreasonably loud (voice, background noise, etc.) as compared to others. Whether your moves are heroic or tragic, please refrain from yelling, venting your frustration or venting against A.I. or, especially, other players. Everyone is trying to concentrate and needs to hear critical and necessary information in race and qualifying. This does not refer to lighthearted banter or the occasional descriptive moment, unless excessive.
Verbal abuse, repeated swearing and argument with other drivers, whether founded or unfounded, to a fellow racer during a race will not be tolerated and may result in penalty, up to series ban.

NOTE: Any driver who is involuntarily disconnects during the first half of the race will receive 25% of your points for the place you were in when you got involuntarily disconnected. If the involuntary disconnection occurs within the second half of the race, 50% points will be awarded for the place you were in when you got involuntarily disconnected.

 

[Peter Hooper]

I actually forgot that I don't have this pack yet

@Robert Waddell I've amended the thread to the type 40 sportscar rather than the Lotus 78?

 

[Matthew Booth]

I can do Thursday would just depend on the time tbh.

 

[Michael Watts]

Guys almost finished getting house ready. Was painting all weekend. I'll probably be able to do something in a couple weekends from now. Hope you sort that clot thing out Robert, read up on Brian Vickers he has a clotting problem due to compartmental syndrome that has threatened his racing career. Very serious stuff there. Hope you get better.

Hope you get better.

Vickers said his clots developed in his lungs. I guess they could have traveled from his legs, but my deal is more pain related so far. I think the dry winters, combined with my NFL diet, is dehydrating me. I never really had an issue, but when you get older, stuff changes.

Glad to hear about your house Michael. That's exciting! No rush on our end, and I'm going to try to get to some of your GT races, because the new Cadillac and Corvette are so sweet. I'm kind of tron about which one though. Any idea which one is being thought of as faster?

 

[Michael Watts]

I think it's either based on driving style. If you want the #3 Vette it's your's I ended up going with the #29 Vette. I'm trying to get used to the handling and lack of ABS as well as new pedals. I've managed to get into the 43's but usually running around 45's-44's. The Caddy has ABS and I've seen a time of 1:41 on Youtube . If I was racing the Caddy I'd probably run the #12.

I've also been toying with the thought of creating another Lobby to accommodate the interest in the GT series. Possibly a Euro lobby at 8pm GMT Wednesday, but its just a thought at this point as we have 19 possible drivers. Maybe even 20, but with a few guys from the UK as well. Right now we're dependent on no-shows to get reserve drivers in
