Any news on the weather?

The weather will be decided 24 hours prior to the race, as according to the Rules and Regs.

It will be taken from the Met Office data at the time of announcement (8pm), for the start times as according the the start of the real British GT: Race 1 at 12pm, Race 2 at 4pm.

Right now, it looks like rain. But things might change, so keep an eye out.

Can no one answer my question?

[ATR DAN]

At what time does the real race start for U.S. Time? I cannot find the information. How do you find your place on grid?

Well, that depends on your timezone in the US but it'll be between 1 & 4PM

CST Thank you
With it being Fathers Day I need to know how to plan.

The other lobby that I was in also ran in sunset so it appears that there was some confusion... but I dont think it made a big difference to times if anything at all

Sorry for my english.
Wrong. The track temperature was lower in sunset and i felt this. My car drifted much much better, i dropped time on track. And of course the sunshine in the corners.
And the qualify for members they can't ran yesterday:
When they run alone in a lobby for qualifying, it is not so fair play to the other drivers, they ran with 15 person in the lobby with multi class...
Or am i wrong?

[RhRc GmoPooP]

I did the Friday USA Qualy but since it took place 3hours later then it was supose to and the room was recreated a couple of tims I did it in the wrong Livery. Does that mean my time is invalid. I don't even see the postings on the List.

OP updated with in-game race time and weather conditions.
Weather sourced from MET Office and race times sourced from official BGT timetable for the event.
It was nearly raining!!

[DonatedSatyr227]

When will we know the weather conditions for both of the races ?

[Diablo 29x]

It's in the OP. Heavy cloud for both races, first is set to noon, the 2nd will be set to 4 PM.

[ART Carrera]

I think we are going to need a lot of people to step up and host tomorrow

[Fleaver]

I'm ecstatic that I made in to Lobby 4; way better than I could've hoped for. Thanks to the whole team for putting this together, and good luck to all of the competitors! May turn 1 be as clean as can be.

Which is it...3pm or 5pm eastern? I looked through every thread and couldn't find the start times.

[LMR Deftone MX]

3PM EST. You look under the banner on the forums homepage, it say 20:00BST which is 3PM EST if I'm not mistaken

[ROSCOEpCOTRAIN]

Yes 3pm est ...we are 5hrs behind bst\ 20:00 is 8pm bst

[michaeI watts]

Thank you for Sorting that out Roscoe. I was reading some conflicting reports in the above posts. But you are my host, I've sent a Friend Request to help with any confusion of my GamerTag. ( The L in Michael is actually a Capital i as in India) I will be online 15-20 mins before the start of the race.

[ROSCOEpCOTRAIN]

No problem bud good luck and see you later

[Mesasphere]

Ok, I'm not sure what I can do, I'm told there is no 5 min practice before each race to check our tunes, but when I go into a new session it sets my bump stops to 0mm or 2mm which makes the car undrivable.  Any way to fix this or at least to persuade you guys to allow us 5 min to check the car is set right?

[Diablo 29x]

It's really weird. Fortunately my bump stops are at 1 so if it moves to 0, it's okay.

[Mesasphere]

Yeah mine are typically 15 ish so it means even under braking I bottom out and slide off the track.

[ATR DAN]

Just to inform everyone in Lobby 2. I won't be competing this evening as I have discovered late last minute technical issues with Project CARS so I'm not able to host unfortunately. However, AdamWatson99 will be your new host for the second lobby so I hope everything runs smoothly for everyone and very best of luck.
