Round 1: Road America

Can everyone please READ the post I've updated in the MoE Liveries and Information thread. Thanks

Any idea about race pace?

I'm guessing on a full tank, 2:05.5-.8's is decent for us.

That's a really great pace on a full tank! I'm at least half a second slower in the first laps with 115L
Maybe it's just the setup, but anyway I'll be a little bit slower because I want to keep it safe and bring the car home.

News about the setup?

I've been working on something tonight. Consistent 2:06.2's with 30.4gal. Drove the fuel down to 22.1gal and I was hitting 2:05.9's. I'm crap at Road America (every game). I'm quicker at COTA and Bathurst.

Post it up and ill try it out later today.

Oscar, can to create a race day thread with links to whatever MOE is offering as far as Live Streaming/Timing? Thank you!

I'll start running the GT3 series in the Z4 from next week to get some more seat time with the car to hopefully get some more pace ready for Suzuka

If anybody wants to run the team GT3 every now and again, i would also appreciate it

You'll have to post your setup soon oscar because I don't want to start the race with a foreign setup

It's still early in the morning over in London.

Has anybody got a link to the stream yet? No word officially what site it's going to be streamed from other then one of simrace.tv channels

Sorry Riley, just woken up here. Here it is:

You mean race night

Guys the password is 12kyoto14

Sorry I'm late guys, they had to cook me another pizza because they forgot ham on the first one (lol).

Jumping on now

I've a problem guys!
I've correctly registered for the session, but when I press "join" it says "Could not connect to server".
I'm trying to figure out what's going on...

Well I woke up this morning and no one in the team in the session and we are over 70 laps behind so I guess that's us out then? What happened?

I'm sure we can all agree round 1 has taught us a lot. We now know the level of preparation and how long we need to begin work ahead of time. Round 2 at Suzuka is December 6th, so why don't we get setups figure out this coming week. That way, we're not scrambling last minute to get everyone comfortable with the car and the teams can focus on stint planning.

What are your guys' thoughts?

Not exactly sure how it happened, but Oscar got squeezed in traffic and ended up taking the wall really hard. Car was done. Sorry Riley, you were sensational at the start.

These things happen

Yeah sorry guys. Completely on me!

Car was going really strong. I was lapping consistent 2:06.1's then the car smacked the wall. I actually was pretty sure the damage wasn't too bad until I went out and did four laps and it was barely reach 134mph and was 20 seconds slower a lap. Riley you were amazing at the start, blown away by your pace. Shame I screwed us all over... I think we'll be finishing 43rd also, not a Top 30 like we wanted but RA has no room for errors. At least with Suzuka there's gravel and run off.

Anyways, yeah I agree with Collin 100%. We have a month to prepare for this race, so we should all put in the time when we can and get pace up and running. I'll make a new thread in a second.

Don't worry about it, was fun while it lasted. Just didn't go our way. Hopefully everyone actually practices for suzuka! :p

I have found a way around that Pit stop Glitch. I don't know what you guys were doing but when the driver pulls into the box, that driver should press esc (especially if it says 'request tow' instead of remove driver) and then the new driver enters the car.

Still a great race guys and bad luck to Oscar
