Give me a while to get to grips with it and I might jump in (if that's ok). Bit of a noob at it at the moment, so trying to get the 'feel' of the game..

[Senna]

The more the merrier mate!

C'mon guys: who else is up for this?

[FatGit_UK]

As with others, depends on the timing, but I'll give it a go.

[Senna]

Ok, whatever night we race its going to have to be after 7 at least for most peeps.

We used to have the endurance races around about 8ish on a thursday evening?

Would this be ok for you riotus and fatgit?

Also, in no particular order, im going to pitch this to the following people who I know like this game and have participated in the past:

Kubrick (you up for this mate)?

burntoutbanger (I remember you said you worked consecutive day shifts irregularly - is that still the case ?)

charlesr (I know your a busy family man - but would you be interested?)

talizker (same as charles I guess)

lurch996 (you up for this mate?)

MarioMark (do you still play this mate?)

Can you tell im eager to get a full grid?

I would be interested but unfortunately I'm still working a 'four on/four off' shift pattern which makes it impossible for me to commit to playing anything on the same day each week.

My Xbox Live playing has suffered greatly as a result.

[Senna]

Thats a shame mate, because we've had some great races in the past.

All the same, if you're free one particular evening and were racing, just drop in, because all our cars will be the same, no effort required to spend time tuning set-ups.

Hope your Live experience gets better soon.

[burntoutbanger]

Will do.

Yep, should be okay with me

Thursday nights are not great for me, but if i know in advance of when your going to start im more than happy to move things around for this.

I had some fabulous racing last night with TheForce, Sharky, Lurch and a couple of other guys (who were unbelievably fast).

Right, Im aiming to get the first NTSC racing series running this Thursday. 8pm starting time (open to negotiation), the car as mentioned before is the Lamborghini Diablo GTR. No tuning is allowed to ensure a fair grid, assists are though. Collisions are on, and no damage.

All races are 5 laps.

Winner is the person with most points at end. Simple as.

[TheForce]

put me on that list !

should be quite interesting everyone with equal cars !

yeah, great racing last night ! that Nitrox dude was unbelievable fast, I checked the leaderboards afterwards... at some tracks he was 2 seconds faster.... OMG !!! he must have a very good setup and some amazing driving skills !

[Kubrick]

I'll be watching the football, but I'll join in later on if you're still playing.

[Senna]

I remember him saying that he used the same setup for all the tracks. I was pushing as hard as I could, on Road America I even set a new best time for me (a 1:57.8) and those two guys had a 1:56.4. I think they were better, but not a second and a half better. I want their setups

It was also good putting a voice to the name Sharkey. You are very quick, especially seeing as you are using the steering wheel.

[burntoutbanger]

Are you doing the whole series on the 13th? If so I can make it, if you're doing the seven races over several weeks I can't.

[Senna]

Yep, all races on the 13th mate.

I'll put you down then, nice one.

Just noticed Force that Nitrox is in the top 10 on a lot of the tracks in R1 class. Indeed he is No. 1 on Laguna Seca, 4 on Mugello, and 5 on the Nordschleiffe. No wonder he was a second quicker than us!!!
