Look out! Charlie haz idea
« on: June 26, 2013, 10:14:56 AM »

Endurance race (approximately 2hrs long)

Thinking of Le Sarthe or DRoC - but open to ideas...

"The 24 tires of..."

Basically a LONG, LONG race requiring a minimum of 5 pits in an RM car...

I was thinking of doing this during the day on July 4th or 5th (Thursday or Friday).

Any interest?  Any car or track wishes? Any other feedback?

I have the 4th off, but have to work on the 5st. I would prefer DRC over Sarthe. So other than that I'm in for a long race with a bunch of pit stops.

What time are you thinking of doing it?  My son has some pretty extensive medical tests in the morning of the 5th but the afternoon would be good.  Say 2pm PDT.  I would love to do a race at La Sarthe (though I'd rather do Nurburgring 24h) with the time change fast enough to go through 24hours.

I'd like to get in on this, but I'll probably be heading for the coast Thursday.

I would prefer DRC over La Sarthe.  My availability will depend on the weather (i.e. if it's nice and sunny out I probably won't be staying in).  I do plan on taking off the 5th though.


I would be in favor of using RM or TC cars in the 400-450 hp range.

Ok.  I will look into both.

07/04. The 24 Tires of Daytona

07/05. The 24 Tires of NBR 24h. 

No one mentoned cars so it will be "supplies" from Charlie.

Hey I said something about cars!

Or did you want me to be more specific?  :D

Kinda...

Already figured on RM/TC but was seeking model ideas...

Also also, when I started my post, yours wasn't there yet.  We must've crossed out there in cyberspace and your post won...  It beat me there.

I'm definitely feeling the RX7 TC.  If we wanted to use it is there another car that's close in specs to provide a choice?

I'd love to find a way to race the Audi R8 LMS against something like the Ford GT LM cars, but the Fords seem too fast.  Maybe ballast could equal that out a bit?

I'm feeling good about the RX7 TC too.

I might can do something on the 4th.  La Sarthe is cool so would be Grand Valley. As for cars, isn't there a Prius TC?  I got a unique rules package for the FGT that so far seems to make for good oval and road racing. It seems to match the performance of modern Indy Cars. Any TC, RM or LM sounds cool.  Camaro '00 LM   ;D

... isn't there a Prius TC? .

Yes, and it's a surprisingly good car.

This whole discussion sounds good so far, I hate I'm going to miss this.  :(

If you go with a TC car, can you also include a non DLC car, so poor guys like me can join.
