I completely agree. But without fail, people ignore that and bomb into the first turn ruining several people's race.
Work is fucking up everything for me, lol. I go to sleep now (09.00 pm).get up at 02.00 am and go to sleep again when i get home around 07.30. Don't think I'll continue much longer though, I'm not a night person at all. If I somehow wake up early on Saturday(happens during F1 weekends) I'll join you.
Do you guys set a PP limit too?
Just wondering as I believe a new car's horsepower increases by about 3% after the first 300km.

Is this also the central GT5 topic?

I thought we were racing at our normal time 8:00pm GMT? One time in the OP says 8pm, the other 8am or perhaps it is parallel universes 12 hours apart
@MGR - We usually have a HP limit, to prevent run-in cars having that advantage.
when ?
A few seconds between them. Maybe you could buff it up a bit to even things out?

Shit, I don't have this car or any of the other Academy cars for this year. Is there anyway to get them still?

I might be able to make it tonight, I need to attempt to win the car first (If that's still possible)
If you've got the black edition just use that with some aero addons. That what I will be using
That's a shame but yeah it might be best if not everyone has the car.

I'm really excited to race on Spa online.
If it must be cancelled then I think a Super GT event might be much more interesting.

Well if the event could be restarted with Super GT consider me in, if it's an hour or two earlier
that'd be great.

Wouldn't mind joining some of these races, but I suck! Really should practice more and will be doing now that I have my winter months free. Played bowls all summer so game time was at a minimum. Hopefully in a month or so I might be able to join in the fun.

I look forward to joining you guys once I wrap up 24 Hours of Nurburgring.
I remember you organized a 458 v SLS at Monza before and it was one of the greatest races I've been in simply because the cars were so well balanced. I'd definitely be up for another.
Glad you liked it

Haven't we had this one already? Same track and everything?
Time of day seems good though.
