Because of the British series I figured the only right thing to do was to create an American series. When and Where:This series will be using the Ford Mustang Cobra TransAm on American tracks. I would like to run Thursday nights around 9:30pm EST to give the westerners some time also. Race Length:The race will be around an hour in length with x7 tire wear, this will force you to pit every 10-15 laps. 15 minute practice and qualifying, to have the total event time around an hour and a half. Damage and Assists:Full damage with mechanical failures, no assists, real fuel usage. Time and Weather:To be determined. Scoring:1st – 10 2nd – 9 3rd – 8 4th – 7 5th – 6 6th – 5 7th – 4 8th – 3 9th – 2 10th – 1 11th-15th – 0 Tie Breaker – Races Won 2nd Tie Breaker – Most 2nd place finishes. 3rd Tie Breaker – Most 3rd place finishes. Track List:Road America 25 laps 6/11 Willow International 40 laps 6/18 Sonoma GP 33 laps 6/25 Watkins Glen GP 7/3 Laguna Seca 40 laps 7/10 Road America: 1. Deeeeboy 2. OpticalHercules 3. Khal Drogo207 4. rockme71 5. Saull93 6. DEL ZOTTO x82x
| Willow International: 1. OpticalHercules 2. NavCan15 3. Saull93 4. DEL ZOTTO x82x 5. Khal Drogo207 6. Deeeeboy

This is a rough post and will be edited as time goes on and I figure things out. Credit to Rockefelluh for the format.

I like this idea. Will have to get some practice in with the Trans-Am. Think I've only used it once.

That was fun. I am already imagining the pile of cars on the top of hill #2 on Sonoma once we get there though, I better learn how the photo-camera works in this game.

... Have any of you seen the ROAD AMERICA 69 cars stock test thread over on Pcars forum? forum.projectcarsgame.com/showthread.php?30367-ROAD-AMERICA-LAPTIMES-STOCK-TUNESThis guy is a known badass on times, but a 2:04:110 in a stock Cobra TransAm on Road America... Best I could manage was a 2:09:xxx in solo practice before the event, think had maybe one or two 2:10 laps, mostly 2:11/2:12, Deee, weren't you down at 2:07:xxx for a best time? I can't even imagine how he got that 2:04...

Remember Sonoma GP this evening! Approx 9:30pm EST/ 6:30pm PST. We'll have to look at average lap times to be sure, but plan for 30 laps or so, or whatever adds up to about a 45 minute race.
Hope you're all set for those off-camber hill apexes... I know I'm not.

I won't be here for tonight's race. Family is in town. I may be online letting others try the game, but definitely not up for MP until Sunday or so.

Did the race happen last Thursday? Anyone got points for it?
Whether the race was postponed or not, I just realized last night I'll be missing this Thursday's (7/9/15) race as well due to medical procedures.
I know the schedule above says 7/10, but that's a Friday and I know this was supposed to be a Thursday series. Was that a typo?

All is fine. Just exploratory procedures... Colonoscopy and Gastric Endoscopy at the same time. They're gonna spit my on a hospital bed and shove a camera down both ends... I'm just praying they give me general anesthesia instead on conscious sedation.

So I've missed the last two weeks. I know Watkins Glen didn't happen the Thursday before 4th of July, and I was on but barely coherent for when this past Thursday's race also didn't happen.
Will we be trying to finish the last two events of this series? There's no reason I shouldn't be on for this coming Thursday (7/16/15), so I can host of need be.

If Deeeboy or any mod/admin could update the OP please:
Thursday 7/16/15 Race Results, Watkins Glen GP 30 laps.
1: OpticalHercules 2: AghastVenus 3: Khal Drogo207 4: NavCan15 5: Saul93
Current Standings/tally:
#1 OpticalHercules -- 38 #2 Khal Drogo207 -- 27 #3 Deeeboy -- 25 #4 NavCan15 -- 24 #4 Saul93 -- 24 #6 DEL ZOTTO x82x -- 13 #7 AghastVenus -- 9 #8 rockme71 -- 7 #8 Snelgrove22 -- 7 #10 BIG SHAE -- 6 #11 GENERAL HYATT -- 3 #12 JOHNNY PIZZLE -- 2
(edit: bastard autoformat... I put a lot of effort to get all those names and standing and points to line up nice and perfect. Then it goes and just deletes all my spaces.)
(Edit 2: corrected the numbers and layout. Sorry Rockefelluh. Switched Khal and Navcan's names on race standing, and adjusted points and standings for both on leaderboards. I wrote it down correctly on my notepad when the race finished, but I had written down the names before the race and just added the places next to the names after which was in a slightly different order, and when I went to tally everything I counted the names and not the places...)

Fixed in above post. I wrote it down correctly after the race, but confused myself when I was typing everything up...

Last race of the series this Thursday, 9:30pm EST. Cobra TransAms on Laguna Seca. 40 laps, Medium Cloud, 7x tire wear, no assists.
I tested the tire wear to make sure 7x would work (unlike Willow Springs and Sonoma). Was able to maintain even lap times through lap 11. Laps 12-15 was just about pace-2secs. Laps 16-17 was pace-3secs. Lap 18 was pace-6secs and much increased difficulty staying on track. Lap 19 was pace-9 seconds with constant tire squeal even on straight lines with I assume meant a flat tire, and was unable to complete lap 20.
If you can manage 2 stints of 14 laps, that's probably the best strategy to minimize pit time, but that doesn't account for damage. Realistically, the most pitting you should do for tires only would be 10lap stints and 3 pit stops. Honestly don't think I've done any of the races yet without pitting at least 3 times anyway, so I don't see this as that big of a challenge.
