      SATURDAY SATURDAY SATURDAY 1/23/21!!! Please join us, well I say us but who knows might just be me, cursing and crashing at Daytona Road Course for 24 Laps in reference to next weeks 24hrs of Daytona. You don't have to drive, you can just watch my stream and hopefully others and we'll have the audio on to make you laugh. Unfortunately they will all be in-car as there's not a good way to do otherwise.

      DRIVERS: Please send a friend request on Playstation to me POOR SH as soon as possible. Please comment in this thread with your SN so I can add it to my list. Please indicate if you will be streaming as well.

      Entrant List:
      Poor_sh (Cayman GT4)
      JMonte_II (AMG GT3 or GTR GT3)
      ST80MND (Aston Martin GT4)
      ClassicDatsunDebate (NSX GT3)

      Time: 9:30 PM EST
      Game: Project Cars 2 on PS4
      Classes: GT3 and GT4
      Cars: 16 total
      Laps: 24
      Practice: 15min
      Qualifying: 15min
      Weather: High 40 degrees ambient with Sun
      Start: Formation lap followed by flying start (be careful at turn 1)
      Damage: Visible only

      The lobby will open at 9:00 PM EST and we'll start practice at 9:30 but might delay in case anyone confirms driving but are a few minutes late. Will wait 5 minutes.

      Streaming Youtube links will be posted to the official post on Saturday between 9:00 and 9:30.

      Some helpful information for drivers based on (A LOT) of testing.

      • Soft Slick tires will last the whole race with minimal wear mostly on the front tires
      • No mandatory pit stops because testing shows it's hard to not just lose outright to AI no matter what in this short a race
      • The date for the race is setup for the actual date of the 24hrs of Daytona and as such is estimated to be 47ish degrees ambient and 66ish degrees on track. Tires drop temp quickly and warm up slowly, plan for 2 laps before a flying lap in qualifying (out lap and 1 extra lap)
      • AI is not... great. They will be set up to be competitive with me and @JMonte_II and not very aggressive. They still crash into us sometimes and jerk the wheel occasionally. They may be way slower than you but just have fun.

      MOST IMPORTANT IS TO HAVE FUN
      This is basically grown up Mariokart. That's why damage is off, rules are loose, and we have no idea what skill we all are lol

      Resized_20201207_234750.jpeg

      WARNING: We will be streaming the race on youtube and inviting anyone to watch. Audio will be included. Swear all you want but please don't say anything you wouldn't want thrown back at you. For example: @e90m3 should buy a Nissan Versa as he obviously secretly loves them!

      Just for the future, my currently planned other "Endurance" races include the following tracks maybe not in order:
      Spa
      Nurburgring
      Le Mans
      Laguna Seca
      Catalunya
      Sebring?
      Watkins Glen
      Monza?

      To keep races around an hour or so, 6 hour races will be 60 minutes. 12 hour races will be 120 minutes. 24 hour races will still be 24 Laps unless the track makes that unreasonable.

      Not all of the above races will be on Project Cars 2 I imagine. We are going to try to spread the races around to other games so some others can join in! It will all however be on PS4 currently due to the system I have.

        @poor_sh I actually was going to try to do an Among Us tomorrow night again. If you're the only one who showed up last time that's going to be racing, I might do it anyways.

              @poor_sh despite only 6 hours total in the game (already with the excuses) I’m planning on being there representing glorious Nippon in my tarted-up Honda not-as-good-as-the-original.

                            @ClassicDatsunDebate @ST80MND have you done any practice races rather than just solo practices?
                            Flying starts and turn 1 are easy ways to get killed early. Good to practice.

                                      @poor_sh Are you using clutch? I am gonna go no hud, no Tc, ABS, cockpit veiw. Im just wondering how much time I’ll lose by going clutch/h pattern over flappy paddles.

                                        I’ve barely driven the course, or the game. It’ll be fine...what could go wrong??

                                          @st80mnd i don't have my stick yet so no clutch. @JMonte_II has used his and yeah its difficult. I try to just keep things going for now so i don't allow my car to stall. I do cockpit view but i have a pretty full hud as seen in this video.

                                            @classicdatsundebate no real damage and just for fun, so if you could just take out the front runners for us that'd be great! Lol

                                              Just ran a 10 lap race...one spin out but kept it relatively clean. Best lap was a :51 flat and 18:55 total time.

                                                @classicdatsundebate good! I think i was averaging 1:51s in a GT3 maybe 1:52

                                                  @poor_sh @ST80MND I have the H shifter but I only use it when the car is H pattern. For tonight’s race I’ll use the floppies since the GT3 cars have the paddles.

                                                  But the H shifter clutch combo is much more difficult at first until you get used to it, you can upset the car more easily with shifts compared to the paddle shifters.
