Lap 230, still raining.
It's raining the hardest at the start/finish.

Still in 3rd place.

Lap 236
Fuel is 1/2 but tires are holding up well thanks to the rain.

Tires are no longer the limiting factor, fuel is.

Due to the lack of on screen info, we don't know what our competition is doing for lap times, nor do we know what tires they are using We won't get the time difference we are off of the leader until we are on the lead lap.

We're still on Racing Softs because it's not a heavy rain, but things are slick out there. Traction Control is maxed at lvl 10 and Brian's doing his best to keep it clean and consistent.

Pitted from 3rd on lap 240 for fuel, rejoined in 3rd.
Still 1 lap down.

Tires would have done several more laps but we were running out of fuel.

Track is "mildly moist". 8)

We're closing in on the leader at about 10 seconds per lap.

Riveting stuff Jason.... I wish I could drop by, but it's a bit of a commute. Too bad you can't watch someone else's A-spec race live over the net.

Yea I know you should be able to A-Spec and switch drivers online.
Or send savegames for endurance races to other drivers.

Brian just passed the Speed 8 for 2nd place on lap 250.
We're now 2:31 behind the leader.

The track is drying out, Brian just dialed it back from 10 to 8 (full dry track we find 2 works best.... higher if you need to conserve tires).

Starting lap 260 and we're 19 seconds behind the leader.
Varga is doing an excellent job of catching the leader and managing his tires.

Leader pits on lap 260, we're now in the lead by 2 seconds.
Varga is trying to stretch his tires out an extra lap.

Varga pits on lap 261 in 1st and comes back out in 1st place 16 seconds ahead.

Varga is still going, he's going to try to crack in some good laps to give us a nice buffer.

Forgot to mention the track has been 100% dry for quite some laps now.

Varga pits from 1st on lap 269 with a 2:10 lead. He is heading home for a break, he'll rejoin us later.

I'm behind the wheel now for another stint.

I've got some garage work this afternoon, but I'm hoping to be done soon so I can stop over later. Sounds like things are going well!

Lap 295 and we're 2 laps ahead.
Brian's tires are going off and he'll need to pit soon (probably this lap).

Still need drivers for this afternoon and evening.
Apply within!

Brian pits on lap 296 with completely bald tires.
We lost our 2 lap lead during the last lap (tires were completely gone by Arnage) but we're still 1 lap up.

Meanwhile my pitcrew is busy doing their race calculations on Facebook... :?

Pitted on lap 219, 3 laps in the lead.
Brian takes over so I can actually do a real pitstop (helping my dad change the tires on his Rav4)

Steve P just arrived.

I was just thinking... wouldn't it be cruel if the reward car for this 24 hour exercise is an Mercury Topaz or a mid 90's Neon? :lol: :lol: :lol:
