Suzuka East, a grip track along with Lime Rock, to offset Indy and Bathurst's need for power.

do we need 3 for the team championship? have another guy wanting to help us out, but we have 5 now. don't want to leave him out if we can run as a team of 3 and 2.

Teams can be either 2 or 3, as the top 2 point earners each round score team points.

Hello, I wanted to know if things like race transmission, suspension, tire widths and etc were allowed in all cars? There's no mention about those things and I'd like to know if it's legal to tune those. Thank you.

Yes.

Been running more laps this weekend and still no closer to deciding on a car.

Really looking forward to this week. These cars seem fun as hell.

Do we know who is hosting g the EU lobby tonight ?

RIP to all Solstices.

Rip to me.

Hello all. I would like to say that lobby host LZR Diablo in Race 1 Lobby A in the North America GT300 was not all that nice to APEX FUEGO in regards to waiting for him to get ready for the race. They started without him not even 5 minutes after he said he would be back. He was in lobby!!!! I entered party to ask for a restart for him (give him a few minutes more if not then go) but they flat out said no despite being on a pace lap. I personally think they could have restarted don't you think? What is your opinion about this matter?

Anytime the race starts and someone misses the start, I don't ever restart the lobby. Miss the gate call, tough cookies. That's how real racing works.

We were already close to 30 minutes behind with the party chats breaking multiple times and me hosting in an emergency circumstance.

If that's not TORA procedure well, my bad. Due to the time delays, he was given a DNF rather than DNS, which saves him a fair # of points. Same with LSEM Boost who had to dip before Race 2 due to the delays.

I know we had a good bit of chatter. I didnt hear him. We did wait a good while on him too. I feel it could have been handled differently, but we were already way behind to start. It's tough man, and I hope Fuego doesn't look bad on the series after.

I hope you all had some fun races. I know I did.

Had a fun night but I need to figure out where I went wrong with my build. Getting dusted by other S2000s on the straights.

good race!

I second that, I have some tuning to do.  Turn-in on my car wasn't very good despite working on it, and the speed differential was probably 10 mph on the straight It'll be better next week.  
Good luck on the build though, I tried 3 things last night and was either over weight by like 20 lbs or over power by just a few Hp and no way to get in range, kind of frustrating, but i'm sure the lighter cars will be more competitive on the tighter tracks (they should be).

p.s. I guess the note about the last person letting the host know everyone is formed up and ready isn't really that big of a deal? I was the last person and had not mic, hence the message in the lobby.

I don't think we can chalk it up to the S2000 not being suited for the track. Looking at the results, A lobby looks like it was a Honda parade. My stuff is at 300 HP exactly and 1501 lbs. So I've went wrong with the way I got it to 300 or my gearing is screwed or something. I thought maybe other people were just getting a better run off the final infield turn on to the speedway, but nah, another Honda screwed up in front of me at that spot and still punched it and got back by me on the straight. Can't be too upset though, I literally only put like two hours of testing into the car before the race.

My BRZbwas hitting 159mph alone and i had Honda s2k catching me. Diablo aside i was running close times to them.

I was hitting 156 without draft in my S2000, the one time someone was close enough to make a move they had draft so... idk.

How much torque does your car produce Diablo?

Short of pulling up the telemetry, i think it's around 200? Not much lol.

Ran a few laps last night. It's going to be a rough night if you make a mistake in qualifying!

Damn. Well maybe I did get the build right cause that's about where I'm at. Must be the gearing or too much downforce killing my straight line speed then.
