Good job guys.   :)

If this started a little earlier I probably would have joined myself.  Sounds like a good time but that's a late start for me to commit to on a Tuesday.

Tell ya what DS, if nobody else takes you up on your offer in the next couple days, I'll do it.  Sleep is overrated anyway.  :)

Wiz, its up to you if you want to run the series. I figure you got a lot on your plate as it is, but if you wanna run I'm down. I've been wanting to run against so planeteers, and this might be a casual way to do that. Any particular make you want to run? I hate to say this as it goes against my religion, but I'm leaning towards team Chevy. Ahh, damn. I'm going to hell for sure.

Yeah I'm in.  I've been wanting to race some GTP guys too.   After all, I am one.  :D

I was thinking Mazda when I first looked at the list just because there's so damn many to choose from.  But I just looked a little closer and 70% of them are either Miata's or RX-7's.  Meh.

I'd like to use Ford, as I'm sure you would too, but there really isn't much to choose from.

I agree, I like the looks of Chevy/Cadillac/Buick/Pontiac and am leaning that way as well.  That group has a little bit of everything.  4 RM cars, Corvettes, Camaros...  the Pontiac GTO is quick and the Solstice probably isn't bad on the lower end of the spectrum.  The Cadillac Cien is fast with the right tune as well.

I think that group is our best bet.  I say we go with it.

Once I get the ok from you to roll with Chevy, I'll post over there letting them know we're wanting to join.  Just curious, do you have an account over there?

We're all signed up and ready to go, Sniper.  Don't forget to send an FR to EivlEvo, if you haven't already.


What kind of times are you guys seeing at GVS?

I did a lot of testing over the weekend and was able to get down to low 1:58s in the Calibra Super Touring '94 car as well as Lotus Esprit V8 TT.  However both of those cars are quite the handful and I was barely slower with the RM Elise 111R, which I was able to lap consistently in the high 1:58 - mid 1:59 range.

So looks like Team UK will be trumpeting Colin Chapman's motto again this week "Add Lightness!"

I only tested street cars. Didn't realize we could run whatever. Guess I need to pull out an RMed Camaro or Vette. Best Lap so far is 1:59 in a Z06.

The vehicle requirements vary race by race.  No racing vehicles were allowed in the first race.  But this time around...yes  :D

Also, I would like to get some practice in tonight. I will be a little late though. (7;30 or 8 PST) I will check lounges before I start mine up.

On second thought, we should all have EivlEvo so I'm going to go to his lounge for practice tonight. That way anyone in the series can get in for practice if they like.

I'd join you, but I'll be out tonight and doubt I'll have a chance to fire up the PS3 later.  That's most of the reason why I did a lot of testing yesterday instead 8)
