If it doesn't matter though, and Areen doesn't mind, then fine, put me on GRPL Team.

Miskolc is a Hungary city and has drivers from cities bigger than entire Hungary

Art. 8 in the rules has been edited:

If an AI is about to overlap you, you have to drive like if there is a virtual blue flag. So you can't block him deliberately or you'll be punished by a virtual stop & go (one lap of penality). In stint 2 & stint 3, all SPC1 - LMP1 cars driven by AI must be considered ahead from you and you'll encounter a virtual blue flag everytime you have one of these car in your mirror.

ACM, join my team if you still want to race.

Welcom to the ECOlogic Racing Team

As Areen cancelled his participation, ACM is now also alone. So, I've put you as the 2nd driver of his "Team A", just tell me if it's ok for you or not.

16 drivers - 8 teams, this will be a nice event I hope.

I think I'll publish the results during 3 days. 4 hours of the race per day, I guess it will be funnier this way.

ivan_europe_GR wrote:Areen withdraw his entry. I need a second driver. Would you like to join my team?

Sure I guess. You can rename it "IE Racing with 121" and designate me as the second driver is ivan_europe really wants it.

Aaahh!!! I thought Microsoft Outlook was hiccuping on me. It turns out I didn't realise I was sending a large file and that it simply took a long time. I don't think I sent it in time(maybe the creation dates of the files within the zip are proof enough?)

The official team entry with drivers ivaneurope & ACM will be IE Racing with Team A. This will be unification of both teams in order to participate in the race.

You do realise "Team A" is a makeshift name I thought up on the spot? Having it in as well isn't necessary.

Ok then you'll race for "IE Racing".

Stints 2 & 3 can't save it after the end of each. The menu didn't show. This may cause my retirement. At this moment I stoped my race. If there is any problem, PM.

Ok, as you are not a "top-driver" fighting for a very good position, I will take your screens into consideration.

PS: Never thought it will be difficult for some of you to beat the "2 GTs AI", sorry about that...

I've got another question that just came to my mind...
I guess we should do all three stints in the same login time, right?

Right XYY!

Sent my race! Don't beat me, XYY, I'll try my best, but this annoying, slowly AIs stopped me to often!

BUT @mplume: It's really a great competition idea! Continuation desired!!

Yes, in the same login. You've got 30 minutes for all the procedure.

Ladies and gentlemen, here's the presentation of the teams.

IE Racing (2011 Classification: ---)
ivaneurope (BUL) - 2011 Race Classification 57°
ACM (UK) - 2011 Race Classification no entry

It's a new team created especially for this event. There was a lot of talks about the way it should be named but in the end the sponsores agreed for a simple name . Both drivers are rookies so the team have little chance to make a podium but with the creator of the track, who knows ?!?

Zegarek Power (2011 Classification 25°)
HSC-King (GER) - 2011 Race Classification 27°
Reh (GER) - 2011 Race Classification 20°

Team founded in december 2010, both drivers are comming from Germany and are "fresh" in GR. They have shown a good level this year so we don't have to forget this team.

BTA Racing (2011 Classification 24°)
mplume (BEL) - 2011 Race Classification 7°
maxi17 (SPA) - 2011 Race Classification 58°

Team founded in february 2011, the drivers have opposite profile. One rookie and one driver from the Top 10. Performance of the team will be highly defined by the pace of the rookie but don't expect to much...

Motorsport Maids (2011 Classification 22°)
Haruna Say (USA) - 2011 Race Classification 21°
Bunchies (USA) - 2011 Race Classification 18°

Team founded in may 2010, both drivers are comming from USA and have the same level. Haruna have just win the Generally Rookie Championship (S18) so he's in great shape. Whithout big mistakes, this team is able to finish on the podium.

Salo Racing (2011 Classification 19°)
Buka (UKR) - 2011 Race Classification 17°
Trigger Happy (CZE) - 2011 Race Classification 8°

Team founded in january 2006, it's the oldest team of the starting grid. It's the best team in the general classification with a 6th place. Both drivers are experienced and solid. If well trained, Salo Racing is able to fight for the win.

planetgenerally.de (2011 Classification 13°)
XYY (GER) - 2011 Race Classification 23°
Dany (GER) - 2011 Race Classification 17°

Team founded in october 2009. You can guess it by reading the name of the team: both drivers are coming from Germany. In fact, we can compare this team to Zegarek Power, same level of drivers. Maybe planetgenerally.de has a little edge with the fact that Dany is the actual rookie of the year. On a good day, this team can find the path to the podium.

Team Miskolc (2011 Classification 10°)
Manzur (BRA) - 2011 Race Classification 38°
Madd Dogg (HUN) - 2011 Race Classification 10°

Team founded in march 2008, general classification 16°. Both drivers have some skills but sometimes they also make big mistakes. So, training is required if the team want to make a great result.

ECOlogic Racing Team (2011 Classification 2°)
FogoRJ (BRA) - 2011 Race Classification 4°
Cristiano Bohessef (BRA) - 2011 Race Classification 2°

Team founded in october 2009, general classification 8°. 100% Brazil, both drivers of this team are gifted. One of the best team last year, the drivers are always fighting for the top. Any other place than 1st will be a surprised for ECOlogic Racing Team. They are definitly the favorites of the race.

**********************************************************************
Some stats:
8 teams - 2 from the top 10 of 2011
16 drivers - 5 from the top 10 of 2011
10 nationality

Gentlemen, start your engines

I've just done my race. I don't lose any time with the login and I've done in exactly 30 minutes so I will be tolerant about those 30 minutes limit as it's very short. Every login under 33 minutes will be considered as ok.

About my stints: it was ok, far from perfect but I'm satisfied.

XYY wrote:I guess we should do all three stints in the same login time, right?

But don't forget to change palette between each of the race during login.

(If I understood rules well)

I made my race, all ok, but when i was about to send my files Hotmail failed. 12 hours of my life taken off.

Try to send again, mplume can still see the info in files to know if you finished the races in login time.

Exactly, ACM was in your case and all is ok thanks to the files' creation date.

Cool presentation!!

Everybody driven??
