Brazilian and American Racing Club Events for GSC

Paul Nadon · Jul 8, 2012

Unfortunately for me and many others we live in EST and all race club events are set for GMT. When you are ready to hit the virtual pavement we are still at work(or school). It would be nice to be included on this fun. Seems that most races are set for weekdays at 20:00. The weekend races are also set for 20:00. Maybe early weekend afternoons(GMT) would workout great for us

. Or have a EST server for us, but not sure if there would be enough people for that.

Cheers!

Would 2300GMT be a good time to start the practice session? Please agree on a time and ill do my best to setup some events for the people in the west

23:00 GMT is probably a bit early for US West coast though. 24:00 is 5PM PT and 7 AM in Oz, which seems to me like it would be a bit better. Qual at 01:00 and race at ~01:15 would work out nicely for many.

Practice at 24:00 GMT is:
7:00 AM in Aus
5:00 P for US west coast
8:00 P for US east coast
9:00 P for Brazil

Would love to see this work!

That would definitely work for me. 7am Australian Eastern is 9am for me. GSC for breakfast?

Bram Hengeveld · Jul 17, 2012

Then you have the day change also. So lets say a Thursday event that starts at 00:00 GMT means its wednesday in brazil and the US

Aaaah those timezones, why cant we just have one time in the world

Thats what I was suggesting early in the thread, 00:00GMT(or24:00) would workout best for everyone. But seems to be difficult to make everyone happy. Races could be set for weekends at that time so that work(or school) wouldn't get in the way. So lets say 00:00GMT Saturday or Sunday or both could be better for everyone. But yes, works for me, I'm in

Yea! Would love to do this but I have no previous experience. And right now I am about to get ready to sell my home, buy new one, pack and move. So I will be very busy, not to mention stressed out

. If any of you have the requirements, and want to do a great job for all of us, apply. I think Bram has enough on his plate. RD needs you

Please have a look here: http://www.racedepartment.com/forum/forums/game-stock-car-racing-club.81/

There is an event this Saturday/Sunday. Are the times okay like this?

But I really need some help guys. Can't run this entire GSC forum with clubs and leagues all by myself besides the normal daily duties I already do.

Bram Hengeveld · Jul 19, 2012

Do you guys wish to race any other series besides the V8's?

Vinicius Ferreira · Jul 19, 2012

Adrian Herrera · Jul 19, 2012

I like the V8s and F3.

I cannot commit to every single race but 24:00 GMT works great for me.

Nicely done Bram, thank you. I'm surprised nobody has applied for this, I'm hoping my life goes back to norm soon.

Paul Nadon · Jul 19, 2012

V8s. F3, and lots of Mini cooper races.(when available)

yep, people ask for Races, so i set one up just to see

, come on guys you ask for it, so please race.

Frank Alexandre da Silva · Jul 30, 2012

23 GMT is perfect for Brazilians. We leave work usually at 21 GMT. Must have a time for a shower and dinner before the race.

Rhys Gardiner · Jul 30, 2012

I would have signed up, but monday mornings are now a no-go for me. I can make the saturday time slot, but there didn't seem to be one set up for this week.

The problem is that historically on RD the US event is always less attended.

If we can only scrounge up 10 guys or so, I'll guarantee you that there will be 2 guys racing every day if we are lucky.

And that's exactly whats happening. Not enough interest for the US events for this game. That's unfortunate for all of us. I know it's summer and all but, two guys signing up last Sunday and only one shows up!

Again thanks RD staff for trying.
