You're welcome. I've had mine for a while, love/hate it. Good car to beat the Super GT Series.

HONDA RAYBRIG NSX '06, I choose you!
Think I have that one as well.

We tested the penalties last night.

For things like cutting a corner or chicane, or ramming into someone from behind. Unfortunately the game doesn't detect a difference between "ramming" someone, and if someone "brake checks" you.

There's two options "Weak" and "Strong", the "Weak" max's out at 5 seconds, the "Strong" at 10 second.

The number of seconds is determined by how much you cut the corner/chicane and/or how hard you hit someone from behind.

Hey all,

Due to some technical difficulties the first race (High speed ring) was not saved. If you remember what order your quali'd and finished in that would be great.

I know I qualified on pole, but was disconnected (hence the reason for the no save replay data).

I think Paul won, with Scott 2nd and Joel 3rd.... if you don't remember what position you were in maybe we can piece it together by who was infront/behind you.

Here are some pix from the 2nd High Speed Ring Race.

Class photo

Different lines
Image

Opps.... hard to tell who's who but I'm pretty sure that's McIntyre facing the guard rail.
Image

A dangerous position.... behind McIntyre
Image

I'm in the lead (for the moment)... Paul close 2nd and McIntyre falling back.

Since the Superbowl is on Sunday, I'm thinking we may need to re-schedule our next race.

Options are:
-Tonight (Friday)
-Saturday
-Monday

Thoughts?

Also for tracks I'm thinking:

-Autumn Ring
-Madrid
-Special Stage Route 5
(turn on your headlights)

I've had a few people respond saying Saturday seems to work for them and/or Monday.

Trevor, you and Mortifuri both said you were last on the HSR.... lol
Other than that I think I've got it figured out, so if everyone is cool, the points as they are will stand.

Sunday (or Saturday) evening get's my vote. Any track is fine with me.

Great turnout last night. I counted as many a 10 cars. Pretty soon will have a full house. Then we'll have to have Divisionals. ;)

Ok so tonight is out for sure.
Right now Saturday has the most votes with Monday second and Sunday third (based on feedback in this thread and from emails).
I'll try and send out an email later today/tonight and will also post here what the majority wants.

Well, people could just jump in/out of the track as slots are available / finish their laps. I guess...

Or make it simple... First come first serve. Full class? Watch the race(s) until someone drops out. *shrug*

I presume there's no limit on the number of people who can join a lounge.

I thought the limit would be 12..... in total.

If it gets to that we have over 12, we'll split the people evenly.
1/2 goto 1 lounge, 1/2 goto the other.

Everyone remembers their quali time and only the top 12 get to race.
Maybe difficult to organize and communicate.

OR

We just have two hosts and run two races. Save the results/replays and see who finished at what times, and compare the two for scoring. We just say that 12th place and below get 1pt.
