Here is another PGR-driver

btw making three races for one event feels quite strange to me

In other words, this is your first endurance event.

[XYY]

Okay
will it be with load&save then? that would be logical for me (make e.g 30 laps for first run, then save, then make you next run ->60 laps and then your last run) ?
Or will you always start new?

[Haruna]

No. You run the race normally as if it were a normal racing round. Each race counts as a stint. Your and teammates' total time from these stints determine your ranking.

TBA(my idea is join Martyn on Team Miskolc B and await someone to make pair with Madd Dogg. It will depend from the interest.)

[mplume]

No problem maxi17, you're the 2nd driver of BTA Racing.

Some more news:
-There will be 2 AIs in SPC1 (= LMP1), they will be faster than us. We can't block them if they are "lapping us" => virtual blue flag...
-There will be 1 AI in SPO1 (= LMP2), his level will be correct so maybe we'll fight with him a little bit.
-There will be 2 AIs in GTC1, they will be slower than us but overtaking them won't be too easy.

We will drive in SPO1. 3 stints per driver, individual classification per stint. Overall classification will be only made by teams with 2 drivers. (you can still participate as a privateer, but your name won't appear at the overall classification)

Will be premited to use v1.10?

[Mad Dan]

This isn´t the best track for endurance races , you could have used some rwl like Silverstone or Spa or something

[TuomoH]

Just in case people in this thread don't know it, there's a replay bug in 1.10 which sometimes results in an empty replay/save game even when you don't use Savegamereader to edit the starting position. Therefore I suggest to use 1.05.

Btw, very cool idea to have also faster AI, don't remember that being used before.

I'm not going to attend, there's enough for me with my current compo schedule.

I work on it. But first I need to understand, if we can prevent somehow to the problem with saving in 1.10.

I think the opposite, it's a nice track with small technical part. 24 minutes on that track with an LMP is fun, trust me...

We'll use GR 1.05 because of the save bug in 1.10.

And the competition won't start righ now so TuomoH you'll be able to participate if you want.

[Hiken17]

please post a zip with the settings, the cars and the track

[Trigger Happy]

Btw, very cool idea to have also faster AI, don't remember that being used before.

I think, that it's not usually used, because usually compo organizers wish as much human players with full number of laps as possible (= human driver don't need to win, but should finish in same lap like winning AI out of rare cases). If human drivers will be once or even few times ''lapped'' by remarkably faster AIs (the mentioned ''blue flag'') no one of them will finish whole scheduled length of the race - just the fast AIs. But if it's the mplume's idea ...

[mplume]

Zip files will come in few days.

Faster AIs are in LMP1 so it's quiet normal you can't finish in the same lap as them with our LMP2. Endurance race is like that, you have to be able to overtake slower cars without losing too much time but you have also to be able to be overtaken by faster cars without losing much time...

LMP1 will also be responsible of the timing of the race, they will be calibrated to do the stint race distance in 8 minutes. Our goal will be to make as much lap as we can in that timing. (and yes, sometimes you will lose one lap in the end of a stint just because the leading LMP1 overtake you in the last kilometer, just like in real)

[mplume]

Will be premited to use v1.10?

You can race with 1.10 if you want but it will be at your own risk. If I cannot watch your replay, you'll be DNF...

When will this be held?

[mplume]

When will this be held?

I've edited the title with the date.

10 days covering 2 weekends, I think everybody will be able to find 30 minutes to log over that time window. Take also into consideration that in may, GRF1 and Stock Car Challenge will be over.

To be interesting, we need at least 7 teams for this endurance.

I expect to publish the pack today, I'm still callibrating the AIs right now. I'm trying that the top-drivers could be able to finish in the same lap as the LMP1 but with a real challenge. Drivers like me will be lapped at least once.
