Bathurst 12 Hour 2021 (Preparation)

[Brainling]

I think it's us for sure, and @Ogami Itto might want a stint or two as well. My guess is that you and I would do the lion's share of the driving Jes.

 

[Kinger]

Matt is correct. I'm definitely in on the prancing horse, but I'd like to limit my overall drive time if possible.

 

[Brainling]

I'll be around basically every night this week for practice.

 

[Jes_971]

@Brainling I'll be on in about an hour.

 

[Kinger]

Sorry I wasn't on last night. Should be on tonight for some practice and I may attempt to do that 9:00 EST GT3 race.

 

[Jes_971]

I didn't make it either. Pulled a muscle in my neck while washing my face before I put my vr headset on. Stupidest. thing. ever.

You sir appear to have a very VIGOROUS face washing routine. Maybe you should try to calm it down a bit. LOL!

 

[Brainling]

I pinched a nerve in my neck last week reaching down to pick something up. Getting old sucks.

 

[Ogami Itto]

I didn't make it either. Pulled a muscle in my neck while washing my face before I put my vr headset on. Stupidest. thing. ever.

I'll bet his skin is glorious!

 

[Kenadian]

Apologies all but it looks like I cannot commit to the Bathurst 12hr. I've been under the weather the past while likely due to poor rest and a lot of overtime worked.

I've been putting in the effort so I could make Saturday but due to some Staff lost it looks like I'll be working at least this Saturday again.

Sorry for the lateness in this transparency, it just couldn't be helped.

 

[ShadniX]

So, what is the status on the teams? From what I've read (please correct me, if I'm wrong), we are looking at Brainling, Kinger, Jes and Ogami in one Ferrari, Kelley, Nejt and myself for the BMW and a 60% Anson for maybe the BMW, right?

I'd prefer to do the race in either a two or three person team, so I suggest either a three driver team for the BMW or two two driver teams, depending on the amount of drivers at the end.

Sorry to hear Ken. Hope you both feel better and get a bit less work to do soon!

@Brainling and @Jes_971 Do you guys have any ideas as to how much you want to drive or are willing to drive? As I've mentioned before I'd like to participate in this event, but I'm honestly not looking to drive for more than a few single stints if possible. However, if I'm needed for more I will oblige for the good of the team. In my practice last night, I seemed to be anywhere from high 2:05's to mid 2:07's per lap at a beginning of a server session. (Read early a.m.)

 

[Jes_971]

I'll be on tonight for sure.

@Kinger I'm down to split the remaining stints with @Brainling after yourself and @Ogami Itto have claimed y'alls stints.

 

[Brainling]

My plan was to give Jes and I the majority of the driving, with Kinger filling in a couple stints. Ogami is still deciding if he wants to do a stint or not. Tentatively I was looking at something like:

Matt (x2)
Jes (x2)
Kinger
Matt
Jes
Kinger (or Ogami)
Matt
Jes
Kinger (or Ogami)
Jes or Matt to finish

That gets Jes and I's doubles out of the way early when we're fresh.

So depending on what Ogami wants to do with a stint in the middle, at most you'd have three stints Kinger. Is that okay with you? If Ogami does want a stint you'd have two. If you absolutely want a third I can give up one of my singles.

 

[Kinger]

Yep that works perfectly for me. I can do three if @Ogami Itto would prefer not to drive, but I'm TOTALLY cool with two if he'd like join us.

Inquiring minds want to know if you will be joining us tonight pre face wash or post @Jes_971 ?

 

[Jes_971]

@Kinger I will be joining you tonight after a delicate face wash.

 

[Kenadian]

@Kinger I will be joining you tonight after a delicate face wash.

I'll be turning laps with you all tonight too for support

Give ya something slow to drive past.

 

[Jes_971]

@Kenadian @Brainling had a weird connection drop. I'm calling it a night. I'll see y'all tomorrow!

 

[Kinger]

TS appears to be down tonight so I'll be on Discord for comms if anyone is practicing later.
