GT1 Endurance: Laguna Seca 100 Miles

I'd be so for this, I love GT1 and this track, as well as enduro racing. I'd be using the Ferrari, but I can't race for 2+ hours that late anymore.

well the average lap time is 1:20:xxx and by my maths thats a total race time of 52 minutes. gadd alittle more time for pit stops and general stuff the race shouldnt be longer than an hour. if there's 2 lobbys then i'll just split the entrants into 2 groups since it looks like we'll have more than 1 lobby and if you were willing to host 811 you could host an earlier time.

That'd probably work, the only thing is who would make the earlier time? I'd probably be racing by myself haha

im going to send out a msg to everyone with whats going on tomorrow night,

Entry Form
Gamertag: x 8Eleven
Driver #: 811
Car: One of the DBR9's, not exactly sure which one
Fee Paid: Not yet

So far, I have Dom and Darkside (Alphabet Soup) in the lobby I'm setting up at 8:30 pm EST. If you can't make the stated time (9:30 PM EST), let me know and I'll shoot you an FR in time for the race. Hill, is there anything I should do to set up the lobby (qualifying, etc) or is it just a straight up race?

Final Standings


Congrats X 8Eleven!
you now have the choice of 750,000 CR or 350,000 CR + a 400,000CR car

Also DBF since you won the late lobby i'll award you a sneaky 100,000 haha

Well done everyone and thanks for racing!

hated i missed the race, hope there is another one that i can make

This was an entertaining event. I was able to race a new Ferrari and put together a totally new paint scheme to go with it. It was enjoyable to drive as well. I'm looking forward to an even longer one for the next race to really test our mettle

Congrats 8Eleven on a very quick and consistent race. With the exception of a little bit of sliding in the first few laps, he seemed very stable throughout. I also avoided any serious mishaps., but I was losing serious time to him coming off the last hairpin and the left-hand turn leading up to the corkscrew. CMD struggled a little early on, but seemed to get it together by about lap 7. He was kind enough to let 8Eleven by without incident when the time came. We were fortunate to be spaced apart enough that there was no danger of collisions, and we essentially ran our own race while keeping each other company.

congrats to 811. sounded like alot of fun, could anyone gift me the replay please if possible?

I have the replay of Dom, CMD and I. I can gift that if you want, I'm not sure who has the replay for the late lobby though.

That"s awesome hillcrest you adding to the pot. I'll let him know to put up 2 vinyls for payout.

i do, it's on it's way.

Race was a ton of fun BTW! I'll have a car on the AH for 750k CR, I'll let you know the details in a PM. Thanks again Race was a blast and I hope to participate in more of these. 2+ hours next time?

hey x8 I don't have ret in friends list so I sent replay to you.

Thank you to Hillcrest for putting this together, hosting and paying out the prizes from his own pocket!!!! Great job X8 - another step closer on your one man mission to rule FLR and then the world! (Beware, at some point you will find a banana in your tail pipe to slow you down!)
This was a lot of fun, not my best race, but regardless a lot of fun. One goal was to piggy back off of this to continue to have longer races, (and when possible with real world match-ups that run closely on tracks that the cars have actually raced on.) It seems the GT1 cars on Laguna Seca was a perfect start, with a lot of the times being very close.
There are a number of possibilities for future races with car classes such as: LMP1, GT1, GT2, GT3, Super GT500, GTS, etc. Track options are the obvious ones; Le Mans, Sebring, Slverstone, NRing GP, Catalunya, Laguna Seca, Suzuka, Motegi, Road America, even Tsukuba and Nurburgring. (Mugello has major lag/glitch problems and is cursed!)
This was a great start with an hour long race, personally I'd like to see the next race in the 2 hr range. What match ups would you guys like to see? Car classes, tracks, length? (Keep in mind we can also set up multiclass races for all the LMP fans.)
Again thank you Hillcrest and congrats X8!

if you guys ever do a weekend enduro race i`d really like to jump in if possible.

I would like torun gts because it keeps it close to what we have been running and I'm not ready for lmp and super gt would take away from hillcrest series.

Only issue with GTS is in F3 it's only 3 cars I believe, 2 we have and the 3rd is 2MM credits.

Torun GTS? Sorry, I don't know much about the different classes of racing.

i had an absolute blast like everyone said before me. I had a problem getting my car around the first few corners on cold tires but once my tires warmed up it was back to where i expected it,i wasnt as fast as Dom or x8 Eleven but im pretty sure i was just as consistent,i watched the replay and i think after my tires got warmed up i was 1:20.4xx to 1:21.5xx. But Congrats to Adam for winning overall Dom getting 2nd and im happy with getting 4th in the race. Hope there is another one of these in the future!

sorry was sent from my Blackberry. I meant would like to run GTS which is an IMSA series and now part of the World Challenge Series under SCCA.

we could do GTS only thing is that we would have to do some testing to make the cars equal

For the future ive got a few more races in mind. GT2, GT3, Spec Enduros, V8 Supercars, GT500, GT300 Nissan VS Subaru, Also another good match up is the Xanavi Nismo GT-R Vs The 07 Corvette C6.R with restrictors on. Also thinking of a 1.2 hours of sebring and a Petit Petit Le Mans (1 HR or 100 miles)

I forgot about v8 supercars, that could be alot of fun.I did look into GTS cars in game I believe they have it wrong I thought GTS cars are basically GT3 cars with restrictors on.The GTS cars listed in game are $1 million+ which doesn't sound right.
