Thank you Andrew. Hopefully I fixed it, but I'm so sleepy I probably screwed it up more than Hotlips

Do you know if there's any Assetto Corsa league for PS4 here in RaceDepartment?.

There's not one as of now, but we are taking a look at things. Can't promise anything, but just thought I'd let you know

Would love to join this event on my favorite track but it's my younger kid's B-day, so I'm not gonna make it.
Don't forget to setup pit stop for the race. I thought we didn't have it in the last one (must have missed when you discussed it) and drove 3/4 of the race trying to conserve my fuel as much as I could as I was couple of liters short for the whole distance until I realized that everyone was pitting.

We would love to have you and from one dad to another I know how special these times are with them while they are young. Hope he has a great b-day and you guys have a blast.

Thanks for the pit reminder. Hooligans you have been warned Now it's ok with me if you all run out of fuel because I'll take a win if I can get it.............anyhow........any way

@Bobby Pennington AKA OVERLORD
I'll be parking my Aussie butt in the Z4, never got to test last night so I'll just go with what I'm comfy in and hope it works out

Also, the Bathurst 12hr is coming up in 2 weeks so I was wondering if there was a chance to take the GT3's to Bathurst for a 90min or, if it's at all possible, 120min enduro. I'm pretty sure most the HOOLIGANS would be up for the challenge.

You got it. I think I'm going to practice tonight if you want too.

Bathurst? Never heard of it Sure I'm up for it. If you'll put your Convict stamp of approval on the track we have here consider it done. It'll be a 90 minute enduro. Sound like a plan? Maybe @Brewer aka Hotlips can get a knee brace for his old broken down butt

I'll be awaiting your approval while I sharpen my weapon of choice on your buddies doors.

The Bathurst track available here on RD is ideal for GT3's, with the actual grueling 12hr race happening on Feb 2nd-3rd & 4th (Google Bathurst 12Hr) like the real drivers our skills will be tested during a punishing 90minutes but the location provides stunning panoramic views as you plunge off Skyline into the Dipper......if you have time to admire them, you're obviously going wayyyy to slow.

It would be totally immersive imo if tyre deg & fuel consumption was set to x3 or x4 and race time was also accelerated to start at dawn and finish at dusk in an attempt to replicate the real world event .
Some testing will likely be needed to get the tyre deg/fuel burn/time accel ratios correct, if we choose to attempt that race scenario, I'd be happy to do some testing on that
