GT-2: Who's interested?

[camp_bell]

You could say I was, ahem, shockingly excited!

Sorry.

It was these or those Red Bull Junior things, but this season is experimental as such ive gone for something similar but different, trying out some lobby options that are unique.

Makes sense; if this takes off I'm sure there's numerous unique things we can do for future seasons, given how different GT's car/track list is to Forza's.

Haven't driven the cars yet but I do like the look of that Honda.

[DanThorn]

Fair enough, I think you're right actually. It'd be nice to have a serious season on this with some simple racing to see how things go before being a bit more experimental.

I'd still say two races though - perhaps qualifying, a 15-20 minute sprint race and then a 25-30 minute feature race with one mandatory stop. They're not quick cars and driving much more than half an hour on a circuit will get very boring, especially if you're on your own.

I'd definitely be taking the Honda. I like my cars to have real gears

[thescottwilkes]

Think you're right about the format.
Can still play with the day/night too.
Some go 8am to 7pm, some go 24hr.

The calender is likely to be real world circuits, dependant on which GT ones have day night.
I know Apricot Hill runs 24hrs

[PJTierney]

...dependant on which GT ones have day night.

According to the GT website:

Daytona
LeMans
Nurburgring
Motegi
Silverstone
Ascari
Willow Springs
Brands Hatch
Bathurst

Autumn Ring
Apricot Hill
Matterhorn

That's not a bad shortlist

[Ratonedge]

I'd scrub Matterhorn/WillowSprings off the list straight away

[DanThorn]

Some of those don't have full night time. We only need one or two night races and maybe a wet race, that and tracks which actually suit the cars.

Season 2 will be an Eco Showdown

Isn't this actually GT Season 3, after GTTCC and CAFÉ?

[PJTierney]

I think one of those was an unofficial season or something along those lines.

[thescottwilkes]

GTTCC had nothing to do with Rlyr, it was a F1Fanatic thing

[DanThorn]

Is this officially RlyR? Because if it is, wouldn't that actually make it GT-1?

[thescottwilkes]

Well Cafe wasnt.offical, but was sanctioned by Rlyr so technically is a second season.

As Kart was offical im assuming this will be, unless Alex says Otherwise?

[ajokay]

Lets just call it GT-2 as CAFE was billed as 'GT'

[thescottwilkes]

I meant to say this is the second season.
Really need to read what I've written when I do it on my phone.

Really need to read what I've written when I do it on my phone, one of these days I'll accidentally mention the recurring dream I have about Dan's scrotum.

[thescottwilkes]

Accidentally? It'd be no accident.

[DanThorn]

Accidentally? It'd be no accident.

Either way, make sure you clean up your 'mess'.

[Ratonedge]

I can't wait to get this underway, seen a sneak of the calender!
I just love Laguna Seca, suzuka, LeMans, Silverstone, all the motegi versions and the Nurburgring
