PC2 Project Cars 2 Leagues (merged)

[Rob]

I know we are all excited for this release. What I don't know is how many people intend to a) play it on the xbox one and b) would like to join some sort of a formal league here at Race Department.

There are so many possibilities, I've had to calm myself down from getting lost in them. However, my main passion, IndyCar, will probably not be able to be run until the DLC with the ovals comes to the Xbox One.

That said, what sort of series would you like to see? Personally, ones that come to mind are Tudor United Sports Car Series, WEC, British Touring Car, and DTM. One of these could fill the gap for me until IndyCar is possible, but others may have better ideas.

Please indicate below if you are interested and what sort of times you are available and which series' you prefer. We could follow the actual schedule of many a series, due to the timing of the release. Personally, if they get the ovals out before IndyCar starts, I'll probably turn my focus there, but nothing would prevent running another alongside.

The anticipation is killing me!

Do you have the T3pa Pro's? I don't think it work on the regular T3pa's

Damn. I only have the T3pa, not the pro’s. I’ll have to look into it and see if the load cell would work.

 

[Chunt04]

I doubt I’ll make it tonight due to a work event. I’ll try my best to be on though.

 

[Michael Watts]

I want to say they make a completely different mount for that. Check on the Bodin Load Cell. His site says he's always out but you can Email him and have one made per request. Would be about $99 plus shipping

New season, new faces, so a question from me. What would you like to see added or taken out of the threads? (yes i know alot of you dont like track history but Adam made me)

O_o

The sprint race was a destruction derby, and the rolling start was designed to reduce crashes in the first few corners, do you think it worked?

I was personally for the idea of standing starts, and no i dont think it worked

Will McLaren be competitive with a Renault engine?

Seeing what Red Bull have done, you would hope so. With Renault working on a qualy mode and general improvements they should be.

 

[Xcoopz21X]

Can't make this one.

EDIT: Does anyone want to share lap times just so us new guys know what to aim for as il be practising on some tracks

 

[Michael Watts]

I suggest.. Adding some of the AM drivers and practicing together as that is who you will be competing against.

 

[Xcoopz21X]

is it too late to change my car choice?

 

[2pfspiff]

I may be late tonight. Stuck at work. If we only have one lobby you can send me an invite before qualification. I will let you know my status.

 

[Michael Watts]

is it too late to change my car choice?

Season hasn't started yet. Are you matching your teammate, Cubitt?

 

[Xcoopz21X]

Yeah i would like to swap to the ferrari please.

 

[Michael Watts]

Yeah i would like to swap to the ferrari please.

Team car to the #2 is the #48

 

[Michael Watts]

AM is Full if everyone shows up. We have 2 spots left for PRO. Anyone else will become a Reserve Pilot. If anyone is interested send them this way.

 

[Rebel Whitey]

Is Railer Cantrell, HRH 5 Racing, PRO or AM?

 

[Michael Watts]

I'd say PRO because AM is full at the moment... Don't know if we can comfortably squeeze another driver in. Plus we would be below 8 in PRO if he left. I know its confusing but that's why we run these Exhibition races before the season starts Officially. He plays Semi-Pro Hockey and has a Championship Game tonight so he won't be on. But he's still deciding on Car and teammate.

 

[mcnasty1]

Not going to make it home til late.still at shop

Had fun last night. Sorry for becoming a rolling speed bump Michael. Thought I had more room to recover after my spin coming out of the last infield corner. Porsche ran great, just not a lot of speed going into the turn 1 after the front stretch. May need to play with the rear spoiler some more on the long tracks.

 

[Peter Hooper]

How did the race go overall guys? Not so much in terms of pace, competition, etc. but more interested in how the game performed and with how many in the session?
