Pre-Race Road America

I need one of the series officials to set me up for tonight @ 10-10:30pm EST tonight. I tried to get it done last night but got no responses from the officials that were online.

I can set it up and race my self but the rules say an official needs to attend the race.

I also need to know what I need as proof for the race to count (ie. replays, photo of the finish time, etc.)

An official does not need to be there and never has been. Pred has even confirmed this on the forums. I was about to say why does everyone keep thinking they do, but I just triple checked the rules and it states

Quote :

4.5A - If a driver expects to miss a race weekend they may pre-race before the race with a Race Official to record the time.

I think that it is just badly worded. I believe that Pred's intention is it to say " If a driver expects to miss a race weekend they may pre-race before the race and submit the results with a Race Official to record the time."


As for your second question, a replay is required but a picture of the results screen is recommended.

Thanks for clarifying.

What kind of times are the lotus running? Hoping I'm not two seconds off the pace this week. My gt500 is running 17 flat but i think i can get into the 16's.

That's Classified.
Sorry, but after all the hoopla regarding the Lotus on the forums I will be hiding my times like everyone else does from now on.

we're really not supposed to share times on the forum anyway, it makes people deter from racing in this series.

If you really want to know times, just look at the leaderboards in the game

My bad. Not trying to start anything. Just curious if i was in the ball park since yoy guys seem to be setting the pace.

League board in the game really is not something I go by cause they could run a clean low time and a lot faster dirt time.

Just curious why you guys think displaying times would deter them from racing in the series? it personally pushes me to work harder in getting my time down.

There are two types of people: People like you & I who drive themselves to match that time or beat it, and the other half are the people who see that and go 'bloody hell I can't do that even if I tried' then proceed to give up.

even that accusation won't be truly accurate though

Don't worry about it, your doing just fine
