Saturday, July 25th 9pm EST/6pm PST. 15 laps on the 24hr Le Mans. Qualifying will start PROMPTLY at 9pm. If you are late enough that you cannot join qual, you will not be joining the race either.
Please reply below if you are sure to be there. You do not have to list your car now. You have all week to decide which car you want to drive, but once you choose, you are stuck with that car. Choose appropriately not just for the 24hr Le Mans course, but for all courses on the schedule.
Remember:
Download Skype! We will not be using Live chat or Game chat. I will have details about this soon and hope to populate my Skype contact list soon so this all goes smoothly for the first race and each race after.
Any GT3 car except for the BMW M3.
A minimum of 1 Pit Stop and Tire Change is required, on the honor system. I cannot force you to pit, and I cannot verify that you did pit & change tires. Just do it, please.
For all those interested in racing the GT3 Series. Install Skype on your xbox, and then either post here, PM me here, or message me in xbox with the email address/user name that you set up skype with. It is possible and does work to get as many as 16 people all in the same chat channel using this method.

Is it still the case that tires do not degrade during online races?

Is it still the case that tires do not degrade during online races? Tires definitely wear during online races. We saw that during the TransAm Watkins Glen race. Remember that Tire Temp =/= Tire Wear. They are related in that too-hot tires will wear faster than proper temp. You can see tire wear by opening Telemetry Hud, taking a fast corner at about the limit of understeer, and looking at the size of the circles around the outside tire on each turn. The color of the circle is related, but I'm not exactly sure how. A worn tire will show a smaller circle when at it's grip limit than a non-worn tire. A flat tire will show no circle at all. Also, when tires are completely worn, they seem to be unable to hold temp. Worn tires will start turning blue when there's no other reason they should be cooling off. If you're on a clockwise-track, turning right more than left, and your left front tire starts going blue after several laps, your tire is worn out.

Placeholder for BTR Patrese & DEL ZOTTO x82x confirmed in.
Currently at 13/16 slots. 3 more slots available for RSVP.
Remember, if you RSVP and do not show up without notification, you will still be allowed to join future races but you will not receive placement priority if others are already involved. In case you cannot make this race or it fills up before you were able to confirm, that will also not exclude you from future races. For this first race, placement priority will be given to those who RSVP first. For each future race, placement priority will be given first to those who were both a)involved in previous races & b)have RSVP'd for the coming race, and secondary priority will be given to those who have RSVP'd but not attended previous races. If we don't fill the grid at event time, even those who don't RSVP at all can still be invited.

We may have the full grid. I had forgotten about Navcan, Gator, and Snel posting on the series overview thread. I will have to confirm with them asap. RSVP can still come in if more are interested though, just know that those who have reserved a place before you will get placement priority. The only person I am unsure of is Navcan who posted that he may miss the first three races or so. Again, I will need to confirm. That would leave 1 open place in the grid.
Lookin' great for Sat!
