Drive Time and Team Registration

SCHEDULE

The above schedule has an "Availability" tab!

• • Please put an "X" in the hours which you are available to drive during the race!
  • Please add the number of consecutive stints you are willing to drive (1, 2, or 3) in the bottom row of the chart!

Please note that just adding your name in this thread does NOT guarantee a seat in the actual race. You MUST show up to group practice sessions before the event! Band of Others' #PracticePals will still primarily focus on League practice, especially on Monday, so please plan on slightly earlier/later practices, or even separate practices for Special Events! The final teams will only be made up of drivers that practice and actively participate in this thread! In 2017, we were usually pretty late getting everything sorted. The sooner we can confirm everyone who is racing, the sooner we can finish the schedule and finalize paints!

[Brainling]

Sign me up for the Ferrari. Hoping Jes, Ken and I reprise our team from last year

 

[Hydromani]

Sign me up for the Audi. With back up being BMW or Ferrari

 

[Deb]

@Bedo and I have done a little testing on this over the past couple of days. The AMG actually is coming in faster than the Ferrari and seems somewhat safer on the downhill. So sign both of us up for the AMG first and Ferrari second.

 

[Sam Roselaar]

I'm going to sit this one out because i'm scared bathurst will kill my wheel again. (It was totally bathurst that killed my last wheel, not at all the cookie )

 

[Jes_971]

Ferrari please, with my previous comrades preferably.

 

[Slider]

Out of this one. Bathurst and I don't get along too well.

 

[Skid_Marc_]

Just put up a Bathurst practice session in the dark for anyone interested in turning some dark laps!

 

[Noodleguitar]

Out of this one. Bathurst and I don't get along too wall.

Fixed that for you.

 

[Brainling]

Just ran some laps in the Ferrari using the set we used last year. Still feels Gucci. Stable, safe over the mountain, quick enough. I'm sure we could get more speed out of it, make it rotate a bit better, but it's so stable over the top it's hard to argue with.

 

[Jes_971]

@Brainling You try any other gear stacks?

 

[Brainling]

No, but I will. I forgot it was an option.

 

[Kelley G]

I am hoping to be around for this one. Will confirm in a day or two.... Sign me up for the BMW please.

 

[Hydromani]

Do we have a setup for the Audi? If not, I’m working on one but need a general idea for lap times. I’m hitting 2:06’s with it right now

 

[Brainling]

I tried out the other Ferrari gear stacks. I think IMSA Daytona is probably the best bet. Doesn't lose anything low end to the FIA set but accounts for a couple of extra KPH by the end of Conrod.

IMSA Short and Ferrari Challenge were garbo at this track.

 

[Skid_Marc_]

@Hydromani here is an Audi setup. Should be good for mid-hi 2:03's on full fuel, though that is on a cold 32°C track.

 

[Kenadian]

I'll be in the Ferrari as well likely with @Brainling and @Jes_971 again if possible.

 

[Anson Bennette]

Last time in the Audi was fun......scary, but fun. Sign me up again

 

[Bedo]

The merc is awesome to drive on this. I have a setup that dials out all the understeer and makes the car feels very neutral. It's also good over the bump in T5.

Give it a whirl and join team AMG.
