I tried to pick a time where most people can race. Please try a paint scheme that is not already being used. Please apply your 2O4F race number to the car. This car is a prize car so it should be sitting in your garage already. If you haven't driven it then give it a go. It is awesome!
Guys, we could have some EPIC races with this car. Please come and race. You won't regret it.
Im in and will get a paint listed shortly
Black #13 looking forward to this :)
I will update the OP regularly with a list of drivers and their cars. Check back often and feel free to post videos or pics. Bear in mind that wheels can be painted as well. Also, experiment with different paint chip colors that you acquire from getting other cars but keep in mind that it can get expensive when you paint the car several times.
Count me in. How do you apply numbers to the car.? I will go with yellow and black wheels.# 89.
Would be nice for anyone participating to do a little photo/shakedown session where I could get some footage to whip up a little video promo. As many on the track together at once would be nice. Or since this is an exhibition is this a precursor to a series and just use the exhibition race to put a promo for a series? Oh btw number 69 and matte no. 008 (grey/blue) and white wheels.
I really hope you can make it. This would be the perfect opportunity to get promo footage. This will be a series come January.
Gt6 Chrome (001) Silver with black wheels - #55
Edit - Added it to the race calendar
I'm in too!!
#111 - White body with black wheels.
Snappy, the GMT times in the title and body of the first post are different, and neither of the GMT times match the EST time so I'm confuzzled!!
I thought 12 noon EST was 5pm GMT? Can you let me know the correct one and I'll fix it? I suppose I cold look it up...
Snappy, the issue is you have 1700 gmt in the topic title (which is correct) however you have 1600 gmt in the body of the OP.
Yeah, but Mapo says they are both wrong. I'll fix it.
I'm lost , I thought it was EST +6 but I just Googled it and it said EST +5, now i'm really feckin confused!!
I'll just be an hour early then I won't miss it!!
[Edit] Okay, found out where I went wrong!! My wifes family live in Central, not EST!! we've only been together 7 years, you think I would know this by now!!
Sorry for the confusion, I'll just crawl back under my stone now....
No worries. Either way, you cleared up some confusion since I had two times posted. Good work!
Sounds good Snappy count Parcells in. #11 if I figure out how to apply it will get back to you on paint color.
-Race Finish Delay-180 seconds
Is that the maximum? Should be enough but just enquiring.
Snappy...do you mind if I invite a couple guys that aren't 2O4F members? Was gonna send the info to Dan and Todd, a couple of Thursday night regulars if you dont mind. Will also send notice to Sheldon who is a member.
I think 180 is the maximum but I'll check tonight. Yes, you can invite your friends. Get their ca and paint info. Or, better yet, have them send me a FR.
The weather changability only go up to 10. At least that is what comes up on my screen.
Yes. There is something strange I the game because the values for Weather Changability in a Test Drive session are very different from what is available in a MP lobby.
Also:
The 10 value you see is for time progression. It's set for x10. In-game, the race will start at 4pm.
Let me know if I've got his right: Every minute in real time is the equivalent of 10 minutes in game. I ran 24 laps and it took me about 38 minutes with a pit stop and a couple minor offs.
38x10=380
380/60=6 hours 20 minutes....in the game that is. So, with a start time of 4pm it will be about 10:20 pm at Brands Hatch when the race is over. BTW, In the rain. LOL
Merry Christmas to all.
Xsitement #66
Body: Matte 013
Wheels: Polarized 041
Can't figure out how to put my number(11) on the car but have painted the body in-violet metallic and the wheels solar yellow.
Parcells, when y ou go into your garage you will see that some cars, the Mazda is one of them, the option for "driver number" becomes available. That's where you apply your number. I'll update the OP later.
getting on shortly and will set up a lobby if I see some of you on. Expect an invite.
Count me in. My number will be 00. Paint color forthcoming.
Attention Mr. Grimm aka Mr. I have cool puma driving shoes and you do not bitches! :)
Parcells has been through your tuning spreadsheet but did not find your Mazda Roadster tune which I can only assume you're holding out until you get it fine tuned to your liking. Please consider this an official request to post your build sooner if not later...whatever you've done so far has worked as I felt like a moving pylon when you got behind me last night. It was so bad had we not been fighting for position I'm positive the race officials would have blue flagged me, how embarrassing :) As it was I could only "hold my line" for so long before you started cursing Parcells so thanks in advance bud and great job!
Hey Parcells, Hate to brake this to you but the car is stock with racing hard tires. I havn't made a change to it.
Say what? Are you sure? This can't be right, I'm an embarrassment. Well then please send me the model of shoe you have cause once they got worked in you became a shit load faster. I need to re-consider my racing career if this is the beat down I should expect from here on out....this is not good news :(
I wouldnt worry about it. You were kicking the crap out of me in the Lancia all night. The car just fits my driving style. Did you perhaps have the wrong tires?
I don believe Parcells had the right tires. As a matter of fact, I think a couple of people were missing the racing hard tires. Also, the tracks we ran were not a good fit for that car. Streets of Willow are way too tight. I will most likely be going with longer and roomier tracks for the series. You know, like Monza, Spa, Silverstone, etc.
