The grid order will be set by lobby points after qualifying. The qualifying will be 3 laps on that week's track. When possible, we'll use the early day setting for qualification, and the later day for the race.

Damage will be set to SIMULATION. In the event of a crash involving two or more cars that causes ANY damage on lap 1, we will restart the race only once. There will be no restart after the second attempt or after the 1st lap.

I'm interested & I've just registered on the forums...

Do you know how many spaces are available?

Sounds good Sim, thanks for getting this sorted for us all. Should be loads of fun!

I too am interested to know how many spaces there are

A big thank you to our friend SimF40 for spreading the word about this series. Two other teams have also expressed interest in participation. We do not have a limit on the number of entries accepted, and you're welcome to send me a friend request (Dominic Mako) on XBL. The time noted in the post is currently official, but depending on participation we may be able to open a second lobby to run at an earlier time. I have at least 7 from my team (MSM) ready to roll at that time noted. There are two more from PNUK that are interested. I am unsure how many from U2SC may attend at this time. As soon as I know if 6 or more people are looking for an earlier time, I'll update this post as well.

To accommodate some EU members, we've opened a second lobby for 7:00 PM GMT (UK). That lobby will be hosted by CallMehDarkside, so you can throw him a FR if you're attending that group, or add me if you wish to race the later lobby.

Thanks for the heads up!

- Anthony.

Hi Fraser
Allow say 1 1/2 hours to get qualy and the race done ,I have updated the lobby times ,it shouldnt take any longer , there are no livery requirements except you will need to register your race number and sponsor over at MSM's forum.
I think going forwards if this is a success then there has been talk of painting cars in club liveries.
If you have any other questions please shout up to me or Dom over at MSM.
Cheers
Sim

To answer your other question, it appears about 7 drivers have already signed up for the 7pm GMT time, plus whomever chooses to join from here. We'll have about that same number for the later lobby as well, including myself. CallMehDarkside should be the host of the earlier lobby, so if you're hoping to attend that group, please add him and maybe send him a message letting him know why you're sending the friend request. Thanks and good luck!

sounds good.i'll go for the 7pm lobby.

As we draw closer to the first event, it may be helpful to know who may attend at which time. It appears fraser54 will be in the early group. I saw Mr Antt and EighteeN O FivE are planning to attend as well. If you'll be in the early group, please be sure to add CallMehDarkside, or add me (Dominic Mako) if you'll be in the later group (ie The Cool Group). We'll merge the total times from each lobby afterward for overall results.

Great race set up tonight. I can't say the race went to well for me though, I was about 5 seconds a lap off the pace & I didn't think my car was that bad! My best was a 2:19 & the leaders were on 2:14's.

I'll put my car up in the club garage if anyone can give some tuning advice? I also saved the replay if anyone wants to have a look.

Catalunya next week!
