GCMCL Fun Event: Sebring anyone?

[ManiacRS]

How about a little Musclecar fun in Sebring tonight...?

Anyone up for it...?

We'll use the S2 cars to avoid any mismatches since there are physics updates coming for some of the new cars in S3...

So...? Like the idea...?

P.S. Here's the link to the track, if someone hasn't got it... It's from NoGrip...

[Pizzaman]

We could use the X-mas carpack, with the Chevelle and all that.
At least most have it. That way we can excersize for season 3 too.

Need links, anyone?

[maeckie]

great idea , i was just realizing that i dont know where to race tonight

so if u get a server up , i am going to be there !!

[Eric Montoya]

Sorry guys can't make tonight,on a tight schedule wont be back in untill 22.00hs

[JJC]

Server's up at Sebring

• 15 mins quali
• 10 laps per race
• Fuel usage = 7x

(until someone tells me different)

[vonRace]

Sounds great,but this eve is friends&family eve.Have fun

[Pizzaman]

I might be along, at the usual time.
But have lots of Skinning/Bikking/Iconing work so we'll see.
Need to get the stuff ready for season III

I have a whole BUNCH of Chevelles...

Yes, you get back to work on those cars........ or I will have to cut your salary

[Pizzaman]

I have 25 Chevelles... you owe me OVERTIME I do think that's too much though, so I'll make a selection based on color,
then we can have them as different as possible.

Like: we have two red ones, so no more red ones.

Well... I say we do that until 20:00 GMT and then reset the server for a standard GCMCL race... That's fuelx2 and 25laps(???)... Is that right...?

P.S. I'll be online in about 45min... C.U. all there...

[maeckie]

10 laps race would give more chance to test different cars,, but i really dont mind doing a long run with pitstop...just a thought

[ManiacRS]

K guys... Besides... Fuel x7 will probably have a stop in the 10 laps too...

10 laps - fuelx7... No prob...

[JJC]

I was thinking we could do 2 races?

A full tank gets you ~4 laps.

I don't mind switching to the normal format,

majority vote wins....

so what do you guys want?

[ManiacRS]

I don't mind 2 races... Probably a good idea... But 2stops...?

But then again why not??? Whatever you guys want...

[Pizzaman]

I won't do 2 races, too long for me.
Never mind the stops, I probably need to get fresh WHEELS anyway...

[ManiacRS]

I think JJC meant 2 10 lap races... Which is the same time as a normal one... Like a double sprint...

[Pizzaman]

yeah that would be OK, but what time start?

yep... and plenty of pitstops in case anyone needs a new wheel for example

normal quali start time = 19:30 gmt

[JJC]

If you see the server in race mode,
don't worry we are only doing 2 laps per race until 19:30 gmt

For some reason I couldn't join. Cars kept reloading... in league I could join normally...

Yeah...

We were also using the xmas carpack

We were using the carpacks from the S2 carpack thread...

Anyone, hope to see you in next week pre-season test...

BTW, by Roadrunner used A LOT LESS fuel than the Chevelle... Chevelle needed 34.5ltr/lap and the Roadrunner only 26ltr./lap... We should look into that before the season start!!!

Also it was showing me susp. damage without it feeling any different... Is that a bug or is it just me...? I'll test a little bit next week, but it would be good if other people tested too so we can cross-check the results...

It is because it uses more RPM. I managed to beat the lot using less RPM.
Just shift at the redlight, and then it uses LESS than the Roadrunner, unless Raz and Laverda were messing around, and you were too. Harharhar! Finally a win.
Managed 4 laps on one tank (easy), which meant I could refuel a bit later than you... and the same as JJC & Raz.
You were damn fast though, but I guess you also made the fuel people happy.

It was damaged with me too. But I'm sure it was indeed as I smacked the wall a few times.
Well I do not steer much in it anyway... steer with the rear tyres.
But it did feel a bit different, though not much.
Maybe the wheels are about to fall off when approaching 99%? This needs testing indeed.
