[Special Event] 2018 iRacing Le Mans 24h

[Kenadian]

@LoucMachine, feel like switching to the HPD? I'm personally considering doing so to help fill out @Tony and @Ryan Shelton Team?

Give it some thought and let me know.

@Skid_Marc_ Race time changes are confirmed: http://members.iracing.com/jforum/posts/list/3612476.page

I would prefer 2nd slot (13:00 GMT) in this case as that's out usual race time.

I was also just told of a completely different and finalized LMP1 team from 3 weeks ago for this race that didn't originally include Matt or I, but had someone 3rd that doesn't appear to be on these forums. @SavreticD Could you please update us?

 

[SavreticD]

Just add Volker in 919, that is it

 

[Tony]

@Kenadian are we doing the 2nd race?

 

[Jes_971]

@Skid_Marc_ Filled out availability, thank you for organizing!

 

[Kenadian]

@Kenadian are we doing the 2nd race?

That's my personal preference as that's pretty much all I've ever run the 6 AM start.

 

[SavreticD]

My advice is the 2nd race.That race will have most of the people.
I think Spa 24h had only 1 split 1st race

 

[Deb]

I will fill out my availability when I get home on Wednesday, but should be the same as it was for Spa.

 

[Tony]

My advice is the 2nd race.That race will have most of the people.
I think Spa 24h had only 1 split 1st race

I think it really should be a car team specific decision and not a global organizational decision.

Lol, of course,this was just advice

 

[Nejtun]

I am going to turn some laps at about 18:00 GMT (19:00 Uk time) , A 4 Hour session will go up default weather , morning.

Password will be 'sheep' all lower case, all are welcome come and go as you please I will be there at the start at least and in TS

 

[Tony]

Lol, of course,this was just advice

I only say that because for the 24H of Spa there was a push to try to get all the cars to get into the same split.

 

[Nejtun]

Hosted ready to go in a couple of minutes, don't forget your fuel buddy!

 

[Kenadian]

I only say that because for the 24H of Spa there was a push to try to get all the cars to get into the same split.

It actually wasn't a push, that indicates we were forcing the hand of our Teams more than giving them choice.

We're not about that at all.

This is fun first however it's also organized fun which is a dynamic new to this Community born of events such as this.

Multiple Teams in the same split is something we strive for only if everyone is on board. Those who are not do it in a manner best suited to the experience they want and that too is perfectly fine with us.

All we ask is everyone in a Band of Others Livery try and put their best foot forward and race as clean as possible with integrity. Don't be and don't engage trolling behavior as it's something we aggressively choose to keep away from our Community.

Having said that, there are clear benefits to having multiple Teams in the same split priority 1 being it's actually fun with the side effect of our name getting out there further.

If it works out it works out, if not so long as you're having fun then it's all good

 

[Ryan Walker]

Will try and jump on after the real life IMSA race at Road America for some laps.

 

[SavreticD]

@Skid_Marc_ we will try to go in the highest possible split with my and Noels IR.I think its only 15 LMPs per split(not sure) so we might end up in 3rd or 4th, who knows

 

[Ryan Walker]

Availability sheet filled out with my available times.

 

[ShadniX]

(...) So far @ShadniX is the only other driver who has expressed interest in the first race.

I thought the latest update from iracing changed the times to the start times we were used to ( 1:00am GMT and 13:00 GMT ) is this correct ?

Yeah, no. I have no interest in starting the race in the middle of the night . Given the current information, I'd prefer the 13:00 GMT slot.

 

[Skid_Marc_]

Yeah, no. I have no interest in starting the race in the middle of the night . Given the current information, I'd prefer the 13:00 GMT slot.

*Thinking Emoji*

lol, makes sense @ShadniX , thanks for clarifying!

 

[Brainling]

@Skid_Marc_ I was neither serious nor trolling, I just read the schedule wrong. I thought the blue lines were race 1 hours and the red were race 2.
