Hey guys, RaceDepartment is holding an endurance race at the end of June at the Nordschleife, using GTR Evolution. I hope to make a decent showing, and have prepared this new car to debut at the event. http://gallery.me.com/skykingusa#100067&bgcolor=black&view=grid For anyone interested in watching some of the event, here are the details about the race, which will be broadcast live (details forthcoming). Somehow I think if I can just finish, it will be a victory in and of itself. This track can be tough, as you all know. http://forum.racedepartment.com/gtr-evolution-racing-club/18730-saturday-june-27th-500km-nordschleife.html#post322396 I am still working on my times, but am concentrating more on consistency and stabilty since the race is so long. Wish me luck! |

Hungry, were we? :) Looks great, Jason! Yeah, 24 laps is a long time at the 'ring, just finishing will be hard enough. Best of luck to ya! |

Good luck in the race Jason. Both the ring and Watkins Glen would be difficult at those distances. No inner loop too. |

Thanks guys. I agree with you Bryce - I'm going to work on lap times, but I'm going to be sure the car is stable and I don't do anything stupid during the race. I think I'd have to shoot myself if I get taken out on lap 1 or 2 because of a stupid mistake. :-) |

Thanks John! It was a lot of fun! The 3 hr race started sunny, then it rained, and then it was sunny again. I ended up with a 3rd place finish, which I am happy with. Here is my race report for those interested. http://forum.racedepartment.com/gtr-evolution-racing-club/18730-saturday-june-27th-nordschleife-500k-56.html#post347195 You gotta love the reliability of the old C6R! :-) |
