And, don't mean to be going overboard here but, one last thing. If everyone could try to remember to save the replay of your stints when you exit the session that would be awesome. I am planning on throwing together a highlights video for my YouTube channel and want to make sure I can get as much of the interesting stuff as I can.

Hi guy's hope allgoes well today and I don't let use down.
How long is the fuel stints? Do we refill for fuel tanks? How often do we change the Tyre's?
Do I need to join the team on iracing if so how do I.
This is my first endurance race so I will go easy and try not to push ☺
If my son goes for nap around 1pm bst I will jumpjump on to tand speak and getthe low down
Do I need to set a button for driver swap?

I will semd you an invite before I start that race. When you are ready to swap you can enter the session like you would any other session. A special window will pop up and on the right side you can join with GRA Sim Team 1. Fuel stints are about and hour long (full tank to empty) and we take full fuel on 4 tires on every stop. We usually do 2 fuel stints then switch off...this mlrrning for the start will be a little different, haha. Then when you're up to just enter the session and when I (or whoever is driving) enters the pits they will ESC out of the car and you can click the green button like usuall. When you first get in the car and are coming out out the pits DO NOT just put the hammer down and let the car hit the limiter like you normally do, slowly accelerate and see if it is actually on or not (something with driver swaps will make it turn off for some reason). And for the setup, it is a little bit tiwtchy for the first couple laps but comes around after that, just make sure you stay off the kerbs. Especially the inside kerbs, on corner exit as long as you don't go all the way to the green stuff the car will stay planted, but inside kerbs and the green stuff on exit WILL make the car spin if you are on throttle, same thing goes with the kerbs at all in the final chicane, they will make the car spin almost every time. We tried to get the car better over the kerbs but we just couldn't make it work without sacrificing stability elsewhere.

Also, try, if you can, to be in the session a little before 9PM your time because the pit stops are not exactly one hour apart and depending on how I drive the car I could end up in a bit earlier or a bit later than 9PM ready to switch out.

Enter a practice just like you would for a normal race (the series is Road Warior). When you enter the race you will go to the same place.
edit: saw the post on the team page, you should be good now.

Zach was top 10 until he binned it on pit lane in his seventh hour. John lost his sound card and looped it. Car's off the pace, but we're 38th overall and 25th in class.
I'll say that there are a LOT of GT3 cars in our split. Only 16 HPDs in a 54 car field.
Zach and John have done a great job, just unfortunate accidents. We're not even halfway!
9th hour: 38th overall, 25th in class, 20 laps off class leader.

11th hour: motor was slowly leaking oil and finally blew when I overrevved it by spinning the tires. 30 min repairs, but hopefully it gives us a faster car.
Was 21st in class, now most likely to be 26th/27th.
EDIT: Good news! We're 28th in class, but 29th is off-track and at least 25 laps behind us. Only place to go but up!

Another engine almost installed, sitting 41st overall, 27th in class. Not to far off in laps to make up some positions.
