Two heats of 8 people and then a final heat of 8 people( top four from each heat ). I would not mind setting up a website to keep track of everything. Just a little page keeping records and showing highlights of each race with a little breakdown of how each race went.
    To your point, I think it will be tough to get enough folks to join and let alone specifically from the OS community. I usually set up public races to find guys that can race clean. They sometimes ask to if they can add me to their friends list and vice versa.

    If you can set up a webpage we can start adding stuff today!

      Fair enough, I will try and set it up today as I am in the office for 12 hours today, if not, I will work on the page tonight.

        Here's the updated roster of those interested... We have 18! If we can work it out and split into 2 groups of 9, it should work. Almost like a NL and AL.

            Can anyone give me any tips for this game.. I was practicing at California and I was running 40's while the rest of the guys were running 38s. I can't seem to get the same amount of speed going into the corner as the other competitors. Halfway through the corner I have to let off otherwise my car is going to slide up the racetrack. Any ideas?

              Ummm...did you forget about me? The GT is Teal 03, and I love this game, so I'd love some consideration. Terry can attest to me, I'm not a pro by any stretch, but will play by the rules, and will do my best.

                Haven't ran Cali yet, but I just run the default setups. Usually you can do that and still finish good if you keep your nose clean (unless you go to a plate track or something). If your not getting the same speed going into the corner there could be a couple of reasons.

                1. You were practicing, they might of had thier qual setups in
                2. They are getting better runs off the corners

                    Try using the CASUAL control setting. You are probably set to Medium or Hardcore. Once you get used to Casual you can jump up to Medium/Hardcore because you will be faster that way.

                      I just would let off the throttle going into the corner and then start feathering the throttle and hammer it as soon as I felt like I was through the apex. I just couldn't get through the middle of the corner without feeling like my tires were going to break traction and therefore run the corner with less speed. I dunno maybe someone can watch me online and give me a tip.

                              I'm thinking about firing up a room to work on some setups at either Atlanta or Cali if there are any interested.

                                Im about to go to bed, have to be up for work in about 6 hours, but I just ran a 60 lap race offline at California. Great race I finished second, kept the car clean, just didnt have anything for Harvick. I would catch him and then get very loose on entry, but was good off. I loved watching the time split because I would lose so much on entry and gain it back on exit, but Harvick was just too fast. Ill be online tomarrow night if you wanna find some setups at California because I definately need a better one. GT is aggies7
