Hey Will, can you make it so there are two signup lists. One for each car??

Will Marquez · Jul 30, 2011

Unfortunately the signup list creator can only create one list.

As people sign up, if they could post what car they are using for this event would be great

Joe Hubbard · Jul 30, 2011

Ford GT for me please

Joe Hubbard · Jul 30, 2011

This coming Weds race is now posted, you can sign up here:

Glenn Petersen · Jul 30, 2011

Not sure yet. Will test this weekend.

Eric Estes · Jul 30, 2011

Likewise, haven't tried the HPD yet. Will edit this post Sunday.

Edit 1: first run with the HPD - wheee - strongly leaning that way.

Edit 2: Definite - going with the LMP2 Car. GT is going to take longer to get used to. I a few sec. off pace with the HPD, but I can keep it on track more consistently through the critical 2 or 3 laps after the start.

You have to be American to do this right?

Josh

Saul Boucher · Jul 30, 2011

No, just need to be able to make the time slot. 5:45pm (17:45 EDT) = 21:45 GMT.

Joshua Cross · Jul 30, 2011

Thanks for the quick reply

Cant believe I didn't think of that

Eric Estes · Jul 30, 2011

Edit: deleted.

Eric Nelson · Jul 30, 2011

do you guys normally run this early? when I ran thr Race Series Racing club we started at 9:30 EST so we could let the west coast guys in one th action as well.

This time will also basically lock out many guys with families as it's prime time for kids and wives to get attention after work etc.

consider changing it please.

also, do I need to buy 2 cars and a track for this one?

Eric Nelson · Jul 30, 2011

and the light is bright let me tell you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will Marquez · Jul 30, 2011

Welcome Eric! Looking forward to racing with you again man

Will Marquez · Jul 30, 2011

Thanks for the feedback Eric. We've been running the Wednesday US event at this time the past two weeks and has worked out so far.

Yes you will need Suzuka, HPD ARX-01c and the Ford GT to race in this event.

Will, we've been running at 9 pm/9:20 EDT the last two weeks, this one is set for 5:45/6:15 - you sure you weren't thinking Pacific?

Will Marquez · Jul 30, 2011

Whoops! Sorry about that guys!

I was thinking my time Pacific but in my head thought EDT and typed it wrong. Time for this event adjusted. Thanks for letting me know lol

lol, I didn't even notice that.

These new cars are pretty tricky to get a handle on.

Will Marquez · Jul 30, 2011

Hi Joshua,

As long as the posted event times fit for your timezone where you are. You are more than welcome to join any of the iRacing club events here on RD.

I just put up a server for more practice with these cars. It's 2 hours and if enough people come in, I can throw another up after that for those who may want to switch cars.

Come on in!

Will Marquez · Jul 31, 2011
