No race for LMR II. We can enter the race as part of LMR I though but i doubt they need us. Better really start preparing for suzuka then

We didn't set up our schedule yet, so you guys from teamII can join us if we have empty stints
At least the two that showed up in the Q sessions.

Now we have to focus on the race setup, I hope we get something today so I can practice hard tomorrow.

BTW, compliments Riley, your time is a beast! Probably only you and Juan would have made it to the race, what a Q pace you have guys!

I doubt you guys really need me, i can barely make any of the race anyway but im sure Henrik will be good for your team

oh man, i think i should've go quali :\ pretty sure i'd be in 04s with some draft but didn't have time yesterday even, so no worries, you all did a good job

Cut off was a 2:05.0. team 1 is in 47th while team 2 is 72nd. Bad luck team 2!

There is no such thing like bad luck

After a comment made in the MoE forms, i just had an idea of a better way that could have been done for qualifying.

Instead of the way they did qualifying, they should have done (2) qualifying races (still not sure if the fairest way is a short or long race), with the top 30 of each race able to run the endurance race

It is what it is I'm afraid. I didn't see it coming, and it is an astonishment that 60 teams are within 1.7 seconds. As Oscar, Henrik, and Dario know, the Forza leaderboards are at times not even that tightly packed.

Well since we've qualified, we should think about the schedule. I'm happy to start the race but I'll need someone there with me just in case I start pinging real bad.

I'm also happy to do a second stint some time in the 2nd half of the race if necessary.

It's up to mr team leader to decide

I accept to begin the race. My stints can be 12:00 - 14:00 and 18:00-20:00 like wrote Omar in page 4.

I'm on my phone right now. I'll take a proper look at it when I get home. Also, Riley, if you wanna work on a race setup, I will be online from 17:30 GMT until 23:00 GMT today. Always keep iR on standby when I'm playing Xbox.

I can be there with you at the beginning of the race
Everyone else can join us.

Maybe we could use 2 different TS channels:
1- Driver and just another person for spotting
2- The other guys talking about the race

I think it's a good idea to not distract the driver

Here is a provisional schedule:

12:00 --- 14:00 - Riley
14:00 --- 16:00 - Juan
16:00 --- 17:00 - Omar
17:00 --- 18:00 - Oscar
18:00 --- 20:00 - Juan
20:00 --- 22:00 - Oscar
22:00 --- 00:00 - Riley

I set just one hour for me because I'm not in shape these days (I don't know why but after one hour of racing my back starts to hurt very bad)

Juan, can you race from 14 to 16?

That looks good to me! Don't mind racing for just an hour.

I can race 14 to 16 no problem.

Any pic of the livery for the race? I would like to see

Here's the paint Juan. You can download it here:

Trading Paints does not work with teams yet. So, the admins of MoE are making a zip file that we put in the documents/paints/bmw or Ruf or MP4 and you add each team livery to each folder and name it as their team ID.

My Ping was quite high in one of the Q sessions and I found out why. When we're racing TURN OFF Trading Paints. If you leave it on, it will download the paint each driver has on each team so with 60 teams you'd be looking at 180+ paints which is stress on bandwidth. I turned it off and I was down to 120 on a US Server.

but then how will i see the awesome liveries

I've got a 3 hour maths exam tomorrow so no time for racing today

Best of luck in the exam Riley!

Hey Riley, how did the exam go?

Unfortunately I can't practice this evening. There's a free session going on, if you guys can join and come up with a race setup it would be really appreciated
Please post it here so I can get comfortable with it tomorrow morning

Timetable
10:10 UTC Practice
11:10 UTC Gridding (qualifying, see below) - you must be in the server at this point
11:55 UTC Pace lap start
12:00 UTC Green flag for the 12 hours of Road America

Gridding procedure
There is to be no chat when gridding, and drivers must ensure they receive NO INCIDENTS on their “qualifying” lap. Always give room to the car ahead - approx 1-2 car lengths.

► When qualifying begins, all cars must stay in their pit box
► The admins will call out the cars to exit the pits, in reverse qualifying order. All cars will drive slowly around the lap and stop before the start/finish line. SINGLE FILE, NO OVERTAKING
► After all cars are lined up, the field will use the pit speed limiter and drive to the Sargento bridge after turn 3, and park on the RIGHT SIDE of the track - GIVE ROOM, NO INCIDENT POINTS
► The last car will then overtake all cars on the LEFT SIDE and then go round the track slowly to complete their lap.
Drivers should exit their cars once they finish their lap, and remain in the pits.

Nobody is allowed to exit the pits once gridding has finished.

Race start procedure
Drivers will pace around SINGLE FILE behind the pace car. After the Kink (turn 11), drivers should get into DOUBLE FILE formation. The pole position car must hold 100km/h (+/-10km/h) until after the pace car pull offs the track - at which point the leader may accelerate.

Radio
Teams may use TEXT CHAT on @ALLTEAMS to relay information to other teams or talk about the race. You MUST NOT use voice or text chat on @DRIVERS. You may wish to use the radio scripts in /scripts/radio to turn off both of those channels whilst driving.

Paints
Here is a .zip with paints and car_decal layers for all teams to download: https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B3jiTAOLLgq8UnB4ajE2Mm1uMXM&export=download
Please use these when taking screenshots or making videos of the race, thanks.

Protests & Penalties
Please use the protest form http://goo.gl/forms/kkEXdG4NMc to submit any protests you may have. All protests must be must be lodged within 1 hour after the affected driver exits the car.

If you receive a penalty, your team will be notified via private chat. For a Drive-Through, you will not receive a black flag on screen. For all penalties, teams must not pass the start/finish line on the track more than 3 times before serving the penalty.
