Ok, I want to try another recon series. I'm attempting a couple things to reduce or eliminate the lag issue we experienced at Race Wars as well as something Feldynn and I discussed after everyone left that night. It's a different style of series, again multiple races a night, heavy on car restrictions and moderate distance races. This time I hope to steal and bastardize a practice from the TPRA and run this in a Division system, twelve racers in two rooms of six to reduce the server load. After both divisions finish drivers will be awarded their official finishing positions based on running times. I also want to try the reduced number of races per night just to see how it goes over.
I'm not setting a date yet to gauge participation but I do want to see this run fairly quickly. Largely due to the fact I have another idea for the GT-S class cars I would like to try later on.

I'm down, not quite sure what to run just yet tho...mondays usually are pretty open for me.
-
I'm interested with the NSX #67
-
I am interested but it depends on the scheduling. If it was the 16th and 23rd that would work. If it's later that probably doesn't work for me (I'll be out of town on the 30th).
Do you know when you'd like to start yet?

That is two weeks notice, it's certainly plausible. I want to get a solid field, if I can't half of the recon I want to gather goes with it. If we can fill the field by the thirteenth, sure we can run on the 16th and 23rd but getting a full field is a priority for me.
-
That's fine by me. More preparation time is always good! However as to my availability the 30th is a no go :-\
-
It was hard to pick between it and the TVR, but I'll have to go with the SILVIA Spec-R; #20

Of all the cars I looked through that was the one car I did not expect to be chosen too quickly, I almost left it out.
-
pencil me in for the Challenger SRT8 Touring Car, #64 please :D

Well, I do have the GTS short Endurance race I was thinking about penciled up. Worst case scenario if the field is still too thin come the 16th, I can let this simmer a bit longer to fill out by posting and running that race in the mean time.
-
Put me down for the Lexus IS F RM, #57, please :).
-

When will you be available again after the 30th? With less than half the field filled I don't think I'm going to be able to get this started tomorrow night :(. So what I am going to do is post up a short Enduro for the mean time and push this back.
-
Ronin, I should be good after the 30th. The 30th doesn't work for me because I'll be on a ski trip out in Vail ^-^ But beyond that I'll be free (on Mondays) until March 12th (when I will again be away skiing).
So if you set up a schedule I will plan accordingly :)
-
What time of day you thinking of starting? Later in the evening/night I have a shot at this, earlier is a no go.

Most likely around 6:30/7:00 eastern time.

Dates and times are up. Do we have any more takers?
-
Depends on which Monday and what time. Ging back now to see if i see that info anywhere.

Hey Ronin are there any updates regarding this series? I hope it's still coming down the developmental pipeline :D
My apologies, I hadn't noticed the updated OP from last Thursday (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)

First day of racing next week, what other updates you need? :P
-
Looking forward to this tonight :D

Thanks for reminding me, I've been under so much stress lately I nearly forgot.
We'll be gathering in Host Tunas Lounge for this.

Be right in, accidentally went into ShoShoTuna instead :-X
-
Day one results are up.
-
And a great "Day One" of racing it was too! Love the format as well, the 3 medium length races with a short break between seemed to work great. Should be some interesting pictures too, seemed like there were some good close racing moments particularly with Dawson and Fried drafting eachother for most all of Monza and La Sarthe :).
Goos times!
-
Sorry to miss it. These races take place at 7am here but it's not a problem...I was jacked for this event. The problem was.... I gotta wait till they feed the fuckin hamsters at the providers site before I can get on and stay on. I'll try again next week. After a while this morning I did succeed in getting on and was invited to another medium length race with some Aussie guys I run with........... you guessed it....... kicked again....double fuck.
Finally around 11am got on and had some fun with some Tunas :D
-
Looking forward to Part 2 of this tonight!
also hope you can make it soks!
-
Room is open
-
ok so I couldn't make it today ..sorry guys. The renos here have taken a twist and everything is completely fucked
>:(
-
Good evnet Ronnin. Fun was had. :)
-
Thank you. I appreciate everyone who came out and ran with it. I'll have the results up later on today, I would have had them up last night but I put them in my work bag and forgot to bring the work bag to work >:(
As time goes by I intend to expand this GT-2 class to include more cars that I left out and depending on the results of the class test race I might even assemble a GT-3 class to have handy even though I doubt a full four class race is going to be possible at any time in the foreseeable future.
-
Great event Ronin, and thank you again for putting this together. Lots of close racing was had and everyone seemed to have fun. I had a great time wringing out my purple walrus around the variety of tracks you chose for us. If a similar series pops up again in the future I will probably enter it again.
Fried, hat's off to you on a near sweep. I apologize for our contact 2/3ths of the way thru the speedway race that hampered your chances at another victory. My heart was pumping hard that whole time we had the draft train going. Figures I'd be the one to ruin a good thing :(
-
Thanks.
Results are updated and this event is officially completed, Congrats to Brindle for the series points championship (Not that there was any question after week one but still lol). Congrats to the podium finishers as well, most notably Cip who thought his car was trash (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)
-
Though my performance in 2 of the last 3 races was pretty terrible (car didn't seem to handle the same come race day as it did during practice last week) it was a fun quick series nonetheless!
Also I really liked the format too with the 3 races about 20-30 minutes each per meeting, perhaps that's something that will be used again in the future :).
Thanks for running it Ronin!
