GT6 (Completed) "RISING SUN 500" Saturday 9th July GT6

Got NBN the other day, so was planning on me at this stage.
Unless someone else wants to put their hand up

send me a pm if you are getting on for a decent stint. I might do a bit of tuning for tomorrow night street then a bit of distance at motegi later. i did a couple of 60lappers on the weekend and i think i should stop f'ing with the tune

Just jumped on Rooz now to see this.... I'm very tempted but I believe I have plans.... I'll see what I can do if there is still room for me

What do you think, @arakasi- , should we have a room up by 8 to iron out any potential gremlins? Is qualifying as per Indy 500?

Something has come up, will most likely not make it tonight sorry guys.

Was gonna open one about 8 pm,
With qually, havnt had time with others in the room, but going to be one hot lap Qually.
Thinking it will be, leave the pits for your run, when the car in front/before you crosses the start finish line.
Everyone gets clear air, should only take about 5mins total...... but need a coulpe of others there to test the theory.

Am jumping on now for a short while if anyone is around?

I'm about to jump on now.

Nice post in the shout box too @Bryan_F

So same as INDY guys

Qualifying :-
- will be run in practice mode.
- after a re-set, everyone enters the pit but doesn't go out on track.
- will leave the pits in the order of the blue boxes (the order the game puts you on the driver list) one at a time.
-the first driver goes out for their run, then the next driver (No.2 blue box) leaves for their run, as the driver in front crosses the first split timer line (after T2, in hte middle of the back strait)
- as driver No.2 crosses the first split timer line, Blue box driver No.3 leaves for their run,
- continues through No.4 leaves as No.3 crosses it , continuing through all drivers.
- When its your run, get on it strait away (no point swerving warming tyres, you need to get your momentum going strait away) put in your flying lap, cross the line , and keep on the gas around turn 1&2 then pull over just before turn 3 after the pit exit and park it , keeping clear of the pit exit road.

If everyone does this, the timing works to perfection that everybody gets a clear, no draft assisted run, without anybody tripping over any other driver, and will only take a few mins or so.

-Once the last driver finishes their lap, race starts (so it's not possible to have a qually set up, and race set up)
-if you have a spin during qually, get off track as quickly as possible and park it out of the way, so as not to affect everyone else.

I hope to be home in time.

@arakasi- not going to make tonight.

^^^^ Results ^^^^

Thanks everyone for a great, clean race
Interestingly, 3 different strategies for the podium.
Well done @Bryan_F & @cola1001 on podiums., and everyone else for making the distance
Bad luk @grassies , tough to get shafted after 120 or so...

@t_b_williams The final RoC spot goes to @arakasi-.

Great race all took a chance with new car no oil change and was good on tyres at the start but never really got up to pace of older car . Something I would like to do again maybe with 2 shorter races in case of crash or disconnection. Thanks for putting it on again @arakasi

@emmo46 can we get these results added into the Hall of Fame please.
Cheers
