* - The reverse grid is being used in an effort to maximize competition giving the slower drivers the advantage and having the fast guys work through the field and keep the racing tighter for a longer period of time. This will also go a long way towards increasing the likely hood of all drivers finishing in the allotted post race completion time. If we can keep everyone within three minuets of the race leader it would make organizing the official results much easier should this event spill out into a multiple room layout. I know it is an odd request but I do ask that drivers put in a legitimate qualifying effort. With the recent bug fixes to the live timing monitor there is no reason this can not be pulled off. The penalties listed are there as an added incentive but still real.
** - Duplicate cars are limited by the number of different numbers they carry, for example the RX-7 has a different number with each different color (However Blue 202 car and any other three digit iteration are not eligible) so there are at least five eligible RX-7 LM's, the Team Oreca Viper has two different number cars so the viper is limited to two, The Ford GT LM has three different variations The Camaro LM has four variations but only one number so the entry of those cars is limited to one. To prevent overwhelming with RM, TC and Stealth cars with personalized numbers are limited to four and can not bare a number found on a non personalizable car.
-
Reversing the grid in order to keep the group tight will work for the first few laps, but I don't think it will help much after 200 miles.

Yeah, the fast guys are eventually going to find their way to the front.

That is the point. The fast guys will make it to the front, but the reverse grid will slow down the spreading of the field. Long races get very boring when you are running all by your self after the first lap. Making it take longer for the fast guys to get away changes a lot in the demeanor of drivers, especially drivers like me who are middle of the road kind of guys.

As I said yesterday, i'll pass on Laguna.

As I said yesterday, i'll pass on Laguna.
Yup, Yup.
I rather torture myself at Kart Space in 700PP cars than race here.
Sorry Ronin, but I must pass on this event.
-
(I'm in a really bad mood today, so I'm taking it out on everyone, but it's nothing personal.)
If you want close racing, make it thirty 3-lap races.
I recently ran an enduro. In one of my two hours stints, I finished 90 seconds behind the leader and still managed to lap one guy several times.
-
If I don't have anything else planned I might be interested. However I really don't care for Laguna Seca so I'm leaning against participation at the moment.
-
for those that are concerned about turture of difficult cars on laguna, maybe this type of enduro, if it must be done on laguna, could be done by a less class of car?
just a thought.
-
(I'm still in a bad mood)
Speaking only for myself, I've raced a lot more in the last two weeks than I have at any point since the game came out. I'm already seeing improvements and I've got some confidence back. However, 650 PP is beyond my abilities right now, and I'm guessing it's that way for a lot of guys.
I ran some of the shuffle races yesterday before my Patriots embarrassed themselves yet again and races approaching 600 PP stop being fun for me because I'm not that good. I ran an enduro a few weeks ago in a race-modded car on soft tires at 575...that's about my limit for now.
Factor in Laguna Seca (I like the track, that's not the problem), it won't be any fun for someone at my skill level.
-
For me the car performance isn't the issue. Just the track really :P

When I held the 150 miles of Spa Francorchamps I can't really say with any honesty it went the way I really wanted it to. You want to know what it really was that inspired me to try another micro enduro, well I am going to tell you anyways. I spent the entire week before the race preparing for a different race scheduled to run the following day, 30 laps at Monaco in a Suzuki Cappuccino Race mod. Suffice it to say I was not properly prepared for the Spa race, but I ran it and finished second. The following night I ran the Cappuccino Race at Monaco and finished fourth. After that race I went looking for the car for the Tuna Dinner races and could not find it so instead I stopped by a friends lounge. This guy makes Brindle and Wizard look slow and sloppy just to give you guys an idea on how fast this guy is. Anyways, he was running Ferrari Formulas at Spa, so I got out of my Cappuccino and jumped into an unbridled Ferrari F2007 and ran laps to kill some time before the midnight drive in. I was running consistently within 2 seconds of his times. Now when I average five seconds slower to a person and all of a sudden cut that in half, that is a massive improvement in track knowledge and of it self. Add in the fact I went from a 30 lap race in a Cappuccino into a car I never get to drive because everyone around me is afraid of them, that is improvement in versatility. There is at minimum a 400 pp difference between the Cappuccino Race mod and the Ferrari F2007, I attribute my stability and lap times in that Ferrari F2007 solely to the seat time I accrued during the 150 of Spa in these very cars under race conditions.
I don't have to do this. I am not obligated in any way to attempt to create races, I am not required to try do change things up a little bit to give you a little verity. You want to pass up seat time at a difficult track, that's fine. You want to pass up seat time in fast cars, that's fine. It's your game time, you have that right, but don't come in here and criticize me and tell me how to run my races simply because you feel it's beyond your skill level. One post saying you are not interested is more than enough. I couldn't care less how everyone chooses to spend their game time, that said I have little to no tolerance of people telling me I should sacrifice in my desires for for how I spend my game time when I offer to share it with people.
i'm in, i'll go with my Z06 RM again for the time being, #20 as always.

I hope that wasn't directed at me, because that would be pretty innappropriate for suggesting something innocently as "just a thought"... that is usually followed up by "not trying to tell you how to run your event' but I didn't think anyone here would be that sensitive...
I think all you needed to say was "guys, I really want to make a challenging event so this may not be for some of you" and I don't think anyone would hate you for that.
To the others, I think they could have not criticized so much either. If you like the format, fine. If not, then that's fine too.
I wholeheartedly agree with you by the way. I typically run in very difficult situations as much as possible in order to get that seat time. And when you have some crazy fast guys to learn from, you take that knowledge to every track, every car you drive in the rest of your gaming days...

Pretty sure it was directed at me, Xbox, you were just collateral damage. Let me give a little history to explain my comment.
Back in the day, I used to run the time trials here. As we approached the release of GT5, we ran 6 or 8 time trials in Prologue. The intent was for the guys to have some friendly competition, and also to improve their game, as we always had guest commentary from the fast guys.
What I found was that most of the guys here like the easy cars and shied away from and even bitched about the harder cars to drive (the 599 on S2 tires didn't go over too well, though it was a helluva lot of fun to smoke the tires with even the slightest input of throttle). I have thick skin so the complaining never bothered me, hell, I even bitched about a couple of the cars and I chose the damned things.
So, I made a mental note...the philosophy here is to have fun and if improvement is a byproduct, that's great. The philosophy isn't to improve with having fun as a byproduct.
Guys have come and gone and done their own events. Any time I see or hear chatter about the difficulty of the track or car, I usually relay what I learned. Could I have said things in a different way--probably. If I had known it was going to cause ruffle feathers, would I have changed the way I said it--probably not.
I hope the event is a success. My only point was to bring up what I've found out over the years.
-
Personal opinion is that many if not all the guys here are capable of running this event myself included. Having said that when you get to the upper ranges less consistent laps are more common which leads to a more spread out field. This is true for all drivers real or cyber, pro or amateur, the margin for error gets smaller the faster the car. Over 200 miles that facet of the race is more accentuated.
For me wheel to wheel is much more exciting and enjoyable. So in some way I guess Rick is right at least about me, fun is most important. I dont mind a challenge but it better be fun.
-
I hope Ronin didn't take any offense to my comment about the track! While I might not be in love with that circuit, I most certainly appreciate Ronin setting up and hosting events of any sort :D
-
So, I made a mental note...the philosophy here is to have fun and if improvement is a byproduct, that's great.

That has always been my frame of mind. Rick, you're a smart feller. :)
Indeed.

WHAT??

I feel I can agree with both points of view... there are times to make things really difficult so you are better in certain situations, and there are times when having a close field and using cars that are more easily managed is better.
I could not do one or the other all the time.
Heck I was the only one who tried to get close to Gar's time in an X2011 at Kart Space, and I'm happy with the fact that I was within .8 seconds of it...
at the same rate, I sometimes ocmplain about comfort tires in time trials and tutu...

Holy hypocrites Batman!!
First, I’m concerned about your arm Ronin, you didn’t break it patting yourself on the back wile regaling us with your improvement with the F2007 and Spa did you? Also, color me impressed with you ability to jump out of a Capo and into said F1 car. Your skills are beyond reproach. I’m at my seats edge waiting for the tale of going from a Lupo cup car to an LMP monster.
Seriously, I think you took the comments of some, or just Rick, whatever the case may be, and blew them out of proportion. It is not uncommon for others to make suggestions to those proposing an event as to ways it might be made better or more fun for a larger audience. Why even you are guilty of this, yes? Shake your head yes.
I would think an event planner would welcome comments, criticisms and suggestions, even Rick’s, and use them to enhance the experience of their event as opposed to viewing those comment as a personal attack or telling you “how to run your event.” I mean the idea is to have people show up right? Shake your head yes.
I hope your event is successful; I really do, but I find it a little hypocritical of you to blow a gasket over some of the comments regarding your event.

Some of you guys, you're...you're just too kind.
Seriously Ronin, everyone wants your event to do well, but like Sniper said, you've got to have an audience. I'd love to host my own evnet, but I know people don't want to race Corvettes at DRC...EVERY...SINGLE...TIME like I do.

I'm in. But I still need to pick a car -- I don't think my iTalian sTallion liked me very much last time out...
Do I like the track? :no
Do I like getting lapped? not particularily but in truth I am used to it.
Then why do I do this? i think i've improved a little in recent months but i still want moar.

With the results of the first half of the Monday Night Grand Touring event in hand I have come to the decision that I am in fact going to reduce the PP for these cars to 625. This performance reduction has nothing to do with this events track selection or the posts in this thread. There is an ulterior motive behind this change that will be made clear later on today.

Consider my interest piqued... :D

Charlie will be driving the BMW McLaren F1 GTR Race Car '97 #42. (basically I couldn't decide on a car but this one seemed to cover the whole gambit. Part BMW, part McLaren, part F1, and a dash of GT-R thrown in for a little extra spice -- this race car is a regular chimera; a fitting mount to ride through the bowels of Hell also known as Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.

Quick reminder bump bump since this is happening tommorow! Also, I'd like to change my entry from the Dodge Viper to the Camaro LM Racecar please if that's ok.

HEAVY Damage can really FUCK you up depending on when it happens... It happened to me three laps in a row (very early in the FUCKING laps) at the Spa. :laugh (though at the time I was so mad I could just >:( )
But I've listened to a whole helluva lot of rock and roll since then (inspiration) and think I can do a little better at Laguna. I expect the water to be a little cooler than at a Spa and I think that might help change the tide. Besides... I'm riding a FUCKING Chimera. And its Mach 2th. Look out y'all! Charlie's been feeding his Chimera frijoles all week for that little extra punch. (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/5badair.gif)

Also, the most annoying moment of the race came for me with about 15 seconds left on the post-finish countdown clock... I was a few laps down when the leader crossed the line, kept running for about 2'45 of the clock and then got disconnected from the lobby! :fuck (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)
At least the race was over when I got disco'd, not like I was running well and got booted halfway through the race or anything :). Thanks Ronin for hosting this!

Thanks for coming out guys. Metal and I had a fairly epic battle throughout the race. For more than fifty laps we where within a half second of each other with the pressure on. It was not until late in the race when Metal had a case of the bad decisions go really bad when a stop for hard tires with the intention of making no more pit stops resulted in damage. It was an awesome race for the two of us. Charlie made massive improvements, qualifying with 1:35's and working into 1:26's by race end. The only thing that would have made this race better (from my point of view) would have been higher turn out.

:) I had such a good time with this, and it was a blast running close to each other for over an hour! i would have been closer at the end, but i felt like decorating the front straight with some melted rubber for an extra lap's worth of time lol.

Thanks for coming out guys. Metal and I had a fairly epic battle throughout the race. For more than fifty laps we where within a half second of each other with the pressure on. It was not until late in the race when Metal had a case of the bad decisions go really bad when a stop for hard tires with the intention of making no more pit stops resulted in damage. It was an awesome race for the two of us. Charlie made massive improvements, qualifying with 1:35's and working into 1:26's by race end. The only thing that would have made this race better (from my point of view) would have been higher turn out.
:) I had such a good time with this, and it was a blast running close to each other for over an hour! i would have been closer at the end, but i felt like decorating the front straight with some melted rubber for an extra lap's worth of time lol.
lol I noticed this, I had started to put down the 45 seconds down when you crossed the line but I did not know the fraction and I wanted to keep it as accurate as possible so I went with the actual time when you finally came across.

oh, that's totally fine lol, i was saying that more to give a reason for the sudden jump in time. Seems to be my thing at the end of these enduro races, i did that at the end of our SPA run as well :P
