GT400 Cup Signups!

[fndrbndr]

3pm either Saturday, Sunday, or both, depending on participation (I'd really love to have both days available).  On days with longer races, I'm open for starting at 2pm, since a two-hour race would be over about 10pm for the British participants.

[RenoWrench]

Are we talking EST or PST?  Saturday is probably out but I can probably throw something together and make it on Sunday.

[fndrbndr]

Yeah, eastern time.  Sorry, I should have made that clear.  I'll update your preference to indicate Sundays

[Detrick]

Thanks for the information fndr.  While this series seems like a blast with some excellent company and competition the time doesn't work for me.

[fndrbndr]

Sorry to hear it.  If you ever happen to be on when we're running, you're welcome to attend anytime we have room for an extra driver.

I'm game for this series, i don't know what car i'd drive though, Sebring is too much a power track for my INGS, i'll have to build something up.  I'd prefer Sunday, but saturday is okay, i guess.

[fndrbndr]

Snyder, just to be clear, it's an entire series with the same car/build.  Whatever you run at Sebring is what you'd be running at Laguna and Maple Valley.   I seriously considered my RX7.  Open is running an RX8.

That sounds great.  I'll make sure a car is built, tuned, and at the ready if the need arises.

[Snyder005]

What tracks are being run?

[bimmerlovere39]

There IS a rulebook in the first post.

Hint: Look there 

[RenoWrench]

Something like 90% of my A class cars fit this spec, makes it kind of hard to chose one.  I'm thinking of trying to get something that is as balanced as possible, are any of you leaning more towards grip or speed based builds?

Right now all I know is I'll be running something that actually has pistons and cams. 

stuff I've tried out so far

Focus ST (with drivetrain swap) still a little too twitchy
Lotus Espirit
Ferrari Berlinetta/Challenge
Jag XK Coupe

[bimmerlovere39]

I've created a PDF doc of the rulebook, now with more logo!

[Open2nd]

Would anyone with a GT400 logo care to apply them to the car for me?  Or, send me a logo car with any homemade logos you've cooked up?  Either option works for me, just let me know.  Thanks.

[bimmerlovere39]

Open, I've got the official logo at home.  I'll send it over next time I'm on Forza. 

[fndrbndr]

Yeah.  Also, I'm probably going to start working on official pace cars soon.  They probably won't be anything too fancy, but they'll have the official race logo.  I'm considering giving them out as prizes to the winners, essentially a commemorative thing.  One of the nice things about not being a very good painter is that you can give away your paints unlocked with no real anxiety.
