UPDATED OP!

GET THE CUSTOM TRACK FOR THIS WEEK

if you want to practice that is.  but sometimes people just want to show up too, which is fine.  That's why I made sure this track was relatively easy to learn within a few minutes.

if someone was hesitant to show up randomly because they felt they wouldn't already know all the sweet spots of the track, don't worry it's easy to learn.

Hope you guys like my track. -- I was going through some custom tracks that others had built and shared in the Trackshare account, (thanks Revengel for organizing that) and many of those had far too many turns and ones that were difficult to judge and learn.

 
So I took a stab at making one just for this week's event.  Tried one, it was okay.  Clicked the "Next course" button and the image looked like a real circuit!  Not only that, but it looked kinda like a bleeping DRIVING RIG!  I tweaked it a bit and smoothed out the turns...

...and now I present to you *BLEEP*Pit

thanks Dude!

sorry I haven't been over here much in the past week or two...

but yea you did great in last week's race!  Congrats on the win in the main event!

you and your car kicked major ass!

[EX_stream_tuna]

op updated for this week!

(last week turned out great, with 9 or 10 racing on a custom track which is still shared on my account and GT Saturday account)  it's called "Road GTS" and it is really fun and interesting to race on.

[EX_stream_tuna]

OP Updated... come out and experience the new C7 Vette Prototype!

[DudeTuna]

Would liked to have seen harder tires and a track with less walls, but I will try and make it. 

[EX_stream_tuna]

harder tires?  you mean sports?  I upgraded them to RH's mostly because the car seems to be sort of unforgiving already.

Yea there may be some wall-abuse for sure ;0

[TunaPhreak]

Oooo, do want to drive!  Cept I noticed it don't start till 3pm, and the wife's usually home by then

[DudeTuna]

Very good times today dudes.  MGT fire your crew chief lol

Updated OP with this week's specs.

Thanks to Hey6541 for racing with us last week (though I could not personally attend).  I hope you enjoyed yourself and found at least a little competition.

This week is a Christmas rally with red/green EvoX TC's and WRX STi RM's, on snow at Alaska.

Some have suggested full damage and no collisions... personally I think that would suck.  We're going to stagger the starts so that two cars race at a time, 20 seconds apart, based on qualifying in lounge.

You show up, turn your best laps.
We'll run a pre-race using this starting method, then next race is based on previous race's results.

Top 2 start when countdown reaches Zero.

Next 2 start at +20 sec
Then next 2 start at + 40

and so on.  I hope it works!  LOL  But this is an attempt to keep everyone from being snow blinded and having to make reckless passes.

Anything up for 1/12/13?

Looks like GT Saturdays will be in the Stingray this weekend.


c/p ExX from PSN
FYI... we are planning on posting specs for a Corvette C7 Stingray event for this Saturday, but are waiting to drive the car a bit before deciding on specs.

[EX_stream_tuna]

Yep!  Stingrays this weekend, or you can also bring the masked version if you want to stand out a little more than just red and grey.  The cars drive similarly and the main difference seems to be that 7th gear.

But most will be in the Final Prototype model I'm sure.

This is being slated as a mega-event where we are trying to garner as much participation as possible.

Two 30 min races with an intermission on route-x.  main courses will be Indy Road & Laguna Seca.

SHOW UP EARLY if at all possible (note that I changed the op to say 2:45) so that we can get an idea of numbers and whether multiple rooms will be needed.

If you are already friends with GT_Saturday, then show up there first to check in.  If/when that room gets full, we'll open up an open lobby room and post its number in the main event thread on the PSN forum.  I'll copy a link to that post on Race Day so it is easy for you all to find.

Hopefully with this format we can accomodate as many people as show up, of course never knowing how popular an event will be... we may all end up in one room anyways
