I'll see you guys at Bathurst.  Maybe the wall/router demon will take a liking to KC down under.  I've ran this track plenty of times and an endurance in the V8 so I feel better going into this than the E21 at Spa.

Earlier this year I was also concerned that I'd lose interest once PCARS was released (March) but the schedule worked out perfectly with 2 delays on PCARS!

I have just noticed that I will be unable to make it to the final round and its at my home track Bathurst, bugger!

Please include me in any endurance race series you guys are going to run either Forza 5 or pCars, it was a blast for the 2 races I joined in on.

woody, you must give us your PCARS impressions.  After all, you'll get to play about 30 hours before any of us!

I thought the race was yesterday so I tuned/practiced furiously . . . then found out it's next Sunday.

Best of my FL has 2:04 . . . and I'm at 2:08 . . . I have no idea how to close that gap . . .

The only way is to chase a ghost that is only a second quicker than you. Once you have beaten that one chose another that is a second quicker again and so on. Just remember though it is an endurance race, drive a steady race with no crashes could get you a high finish.

I got a buddy that would like to race with us Sunday. Is that all right? Consider it a 2old2play recruitment effort.

Will the race be 55 laps or two hours? I'm hoping lap count.

Sorry I had to leave few laps shy at Bathurst.

For the whole race the frame rate was very choppy (~15 fps) through maybe 2/3 of the track.  It was just barely driveable.

Thank you, Snoop, for coordinating this; it was daunting at times but also very enjoyable!

Congratulations, KC, for winning the championship!

Thaks for racing GRD Just so all who are interested this will be back for the 2015/16 season and will be even more painful if i can get it to work on PCars. 

If not we will be back with the Indy 500 in the autumn! here on FM5

Oh yeah, the race where I was doing great at 500+ miles but my wife called me out so I could go pick up some pain killers . . .

That was a hard race. I nearly gave up after my second damaging crash, so pissed off. Thanks for hosting snoop and everyone for some good racing. Really enjoyed the touring cars.
