Now that round 1 at Daytona is over, it is time to start preparing for Round 2 at Watkins Glen. If you are new to the series, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , where you can read up on the rules and sign up. Or, if you already know the plan and just need to sign up, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .
Now, many of you have asked and even more are probably curious about BoP for this round. At the time of this writing, BoP re-balancing is still underway. I’m very early into it so I can’t even really say what cars are expected to get changed. If I had to guess, I’d say low displacement cars will lose a little power, but beyond that I don’t know. BoP will be finalized a week before the race at the latest, so keep an eye out for updates from me. I can say, however, that I am adding 2 new cars to the GT class: the 1967 Nissan R380 II and the 1967 Volvo 123 GT. I will have preliminary builds for the cars up soon, though those builds may change with the rest of the BoP. In the meantime, test with the builds that are currently posted. Also, keep an eye out at the start of February, as another car pack will likely drop, hopefully with more eligible cars (turnt 10 plz gib Porsche 917).
As for the date of the race, the poll with the time options is below . This time around, I have 13 different time options, so hopefully one or two will work for most of us. However, for some of the dates I will need a lobby host as I will be at school, where my WiFi is legendarily terrible. That being said, I think there are a ton of people who have signed up that can host races.
!!! UNSUPPORTED LINE BREAK IN HEADER !!!
I’ll be reposting this over the next few days, and if anything changes I’ll let you know on one of those posts. If you need help setting up/testing Discord, tuning a car, or whatever else, feel free to message me here or on Discord.

How exactly are you guys using Discord? is it through Xbl? If its through Xbl, I can download and install it tonight.
I signed up, I havent chosen a car yet, but Im waiting to see when the exact date of the race will be. Ive been racing the Datsun 510 a lot online, granted, with a different setup than allowed here, but still, I like it.

Keep in mind the Nissan will be in GT, not Sports-Proto. Too slow to keep up with the Lola. But it (probably) will play nice with the GTs.

Discord’s unfortunately not on XBL so you have to downoad the app on either your phone or laptop and run your headset through that.

Discord is a separate free app for PC, Mac, or mobile. A lot of us run it on laptops during the race, but some people just plug a headset into their phones or just have the volume up.

yeah, fully loaded up and with a Turbo, it’s almost fast enough to play with the Lola, but not quite. Fully loaded it’s stupid quick. I love the Nissan R380 actually, and will be looking forward to the GT build.

When changing things on the BoP, could you guys highlight changes in a different color or something? just to make it easier for us to find the changes. I’m set on running the Datsun again. It should do better on Watkins Glen with the smoother curves and more low-speed sections.

Run whatever number you want. I’m fine with duplicates of numbers but if you want to see who has what as of now, check out the Daytona post race.

I really wish it would have worked, but the handling just isn’t there.

I’ve tweaked one that hangs with (and passes) cars with an 830 PI. The handling can be made to work, and it tops out over 200mph...

Too early to tell, but I don’t think so. If it does, I’ll let you know.

I just signed up, and I’ll be a first-timer. Since the rules post said that numbers aren’t mandatory, but encouraged, I intend on racing the Shaguar:

Just realized I made a mistake on my signup form. I indicated I’m available for all the dates and times listed, but I forgot about something I have on the 11th. So I’m available for all dates and times listed except both on the 11th.

Ok I’ll make a note of that date unavailability. I’m actually finalizing the poll results right now.
And I’m loving the Jag. Though when I said no required numbers, I meant that everyone didn’t need to have a unique one. Two people could use #5, for example. All cars should have a number on them somewhere. Like check out this picture.
How you put the number on there is up to you. It could be really prominent, or just one number on the hood. But I’m totally loving the Shaguar and you should totally run it. Just throw a number on there somewhere.
