Hi guys I've just signed up for this if thats ok
This it to good to miss

Sebring! (any classic US track really) Good luck with the Fridays Dominic, really hope to join when possible


Definitely all the cars! - @Kek700 Ernie described them perfectly, though he's too damn quick in the LT Porsche

For Daytona, if I can make it, I'd go for the LT for a good position chance, or the ST for the amazing feel and fun that it is, most other tracks defo the ST (tried them tonight, almost forgot what incredible fun they are)

EDIT: Question I've always had.... if you drive the LT (and I think the Merc) on 90% boost or over, you get an engine warning throughout the lap, I wonder if these cars lose power during the race

Funny, I was also thinking Sebring next with the RSS Endurance cars.... That would be a good one. But I also had another crazy idea, and tried it last night.... Feldbergring at night! It looks amazing, with good lighting at night....

we'll see what the consensus is...

Jeez...That c9 just...........F*%@s Offffffffffffff...

 

[dbx71]

Holy Crap, I just peeked into the server and saw you guys are clocking 1:35 / 1:36 lap times..! Damn. Nice job! I've created some monsters!

This is going to be like a blue flag festival for me unless I figure out how to widdle 10 seconds off my time!

 

[Alfred Wayne]

You know how people argue in F1 whether it's the car or the driver that's fast?

Well in the case of the C9 it's the car. The driver is just an accessory trying to survive

 

[Kek700]

Great time Robert, we need to put you in a Mazda.

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

So im 5 secs slower in the Screaming Banshee to the C9,hmmm,time to work on the car a bit..

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

Make that 3.2 secs

 

[The Almighty Snark]

Well in the case of the C9 it's the car. The driver is just an accessory trying to survive

Using the brake pedal is... more of a suggestion

You can sign up yourself via your Emperor account. If you don't have that, send me a PM and I will create it for you.

Hi Orlando, you are welcome to join us! However you would do so through the entry link above at top of thread and you will need to set up an Emperor account as Han mentioned. Han should have sent you a PM with further details.

Let us know if you have any questions.

 

[dbx71]

Ok, even though there is a fairly significant time gap between lap times with the C9 vs the other cars, let's keep all the cars available for now, taking into consideration that the C9 (and LT) are more difficult to drive... Unless you guys think otherwise...

Also, what do you think about going with the 2 x 25 min race format like we did for yesterday's race at Monza?
Looking forward to your thoughts...

 

[JamKart22]

Is this a night/day race? It might struggle to do the 24hrs in 25mins. Quali last week went bonkers over 20 mins with the day/night transistion

no, it's just all night time. no day / night transition...

 

[Kek700]

Personally i am not fussed about the car, i am much quicker in the C9, obviously, but I will still drive the 962 long tail.
I think the race is going to be difficult enough without day and night. If we have a day and night race , then choose a no chicane le mans.

 

[dbx71]

as always, thanks for your input Ernie. let's just keep it all night time, and with all cars available as per original format.

I didn't yet because I don't know if Orlando has already an Emperor account.
I've asked him to send me a PM if he needed an Emperor account. I didn't receive it yet.
