    1 race this time, 30 laps.
    Don't be fooled by raw laptimes, things are quite different when actually racing the other cars, different characteristics bring different opportunities.

    We might be going for increased tire wear to force pitstops but that depends on what we find during the week.

    Details & Info

    Server is up all week!

    Update All Nissans will get 50KG's assigned in the main event Sunday.

    Update2: Forgot to mention that we are using Sebring-fixed. there was a garage spot in the middle of the track which Noel kindly removed for us.
    So you need to getmod via server or download through above info-link.

    This looks very interesting! Should be able to make it for Sunday's main race but otherwise I'll be trying to join for Saturday if it doesn't conflict with another race elsewhere.

    Thursday clubs are often slow in attendance anyways.

    You don't have to sign up, just show up :)

    Having getmod issues explains it. it should be fixed now.
    Life timing results have been reset as well due to it but GTR/Corvette times are currently around 2:01

    The Nissans are a tad too quick as expected. today we tested with 30kg's extra and still a second too fast. Saturday Club we will be testing 40KG's.
    Hopefully it will bring the grid together a bit.
    Sat. testing is optional if you are on the server with a Nissan. Sunday it will be mandatory. Admins will apply weight.

    They might well end up still being the better car, we not going to balance it out 100% but just keep in mind extra ballast does give issues, usually on exit but possibly also tire wear and fuel.
    So even when they are still more balanced or faster, they might just lose out anyways. allot can happen in 30 laps. and we already noticed the braking in the Corvette is far superior.
    But of course a good strategy might balance that out again. man, its just like real racing :)

    I can see GTR times being in the 1.57 range. I did a 120 second lap.

    Yeah, we did another test today and decided the GTR will be getting 50kg's.

    Its still a bit faster in the hands of a capable driver we think, but we also want to cater for less prepared visitors. But going any higher is a liability and well, if you use different cars then differences should be there as well.

    I will be going for the Corvette myself, an extra challenge is always nice and it would be nice to see the aliens not pick the Nissan but that's just wishful thinking, whatever peeps choose is all good.

    Also it wont be a class race, so no blue flags, no favourites, just battle everyone you see :)

    I might join today as well. It is some time ago since I drove the Corvette, but I was always very fast in it and I could even give some slower GTRs a run for their money even without BOP.

    Thanks for that great event.

    I am still very young in online racing... nice experience for me.

    I had a good qualif. but a really bad start.

    After some nice battle with other guys I did a noob mistake and I hit Ralph (sorry about that)

    after that I was alone, so I decided to try to finish the race whitout any pitstop. So I drove really really slow to save fuel... Finally I ran out of fuel into the back straight. I have been able to roll until I reach the finished line.

    Great event Denstjiro. I am looking foward for other race with the ISI GT (especially the corvette)

    See you
