:woot: nice choice of bevarage. The burgundy wood is a nice dram, glenmorangie is one of the more traditional stills in Scotland. was one of my drams of choice at new year (well the port finish) They only employ 16 blokes at the still o0. Its not one of my local distilleries (speyside malts)
Speyside is home to no less than 50% of the Malt Whisky Distilleries in Scotland. It is the geographical heart of Malt Whisky making today. The whisky trail with a tasting in each still is a good way to pass (OUT on) a Sat afternoon.
Someones gonna be a happy racer!!

Would I provide anything other than the best? This is "Doorman" talkin' We don't do blended here.

Any chance I could have a list of those wanting to get their hands on my whisky. I may change the format if there are too many of you. I could take up a sizable chunk of the weekend if 20 people all do 2 laps of Nordschleife 20 minutes each minimum x 20 = quite a long time. Know what I mean?

I wouldn't mind a wee dram
good point on the time front ... though if it's spread out over the weekend it might be easier

if you are able to make a server run with very strict rules on things like manual gearbox, default car setting, and/or you thought you could trust everyone you could run the competition more as a 1 hour event where anyone can join in and do hotlaps. That way there's a running total and competitors get to do a few laps? Just have to promise not to get in eachothers way where possible, even more like the real thing ... only I doubt many of us have a clutch pedal!

Of course if the numbers are low then I'm sure we'd all like a go on the expert kit You know the pain of doing 8 minutes of the lap perfectly, then crashing out two corners running to destroy a laptime though!

Count me in, although that setup scares the hellouttame  :dummy:

Will you bring a seat to drive in, or will it be what Cromwell offers?

[DuVeL]

Doorman ALLWAYS brings his own seat.
Check previous LANs for pictures.

[Sn00ks]

Rather than having a competition for the fastest lap how about a race? If we can run a GTL server then we can have a race. If there are enough people there coule be a series of eliminators with a grand final?
The people who are interested in taking part already play racing sims and have their own steering wheels, so if they bring them to the LAN this might work?
Make the race a long one, i.e. 30-45 minutes?

Or you could have a setup sitting there throughout the weekend and people jump on as and when they want?

Or maybe we could just arm-wrestle for it?

nah. I reckon the hotlapping round the ring is the best plan! racing round it would be interesting but crazy with the long laps? Bringing other tracks into it would mean I'd have to go learn those tracks too :blink:

[Doorman]

So... that's 3 people up for it. We can do this before breakfast then.  

[Sn00ks]

Oo with only three entrants I might stand a chance!
Better get some more practice in on Nordschleife.  :dummy:

[mono_dna]

I'd really like to give it a try, but I may back down if I don't get a chance to drive some GTL soon. Sad thing is I have no idea if or when that day will come before the LAN

I haven't even bought the game yet...

Well, yeah. Sort of. But I still haven't gotten the hang of the GTL feel yet. The transition from GT4 to GTL is pretty tough and it takes a while to get used to it. And not having the wheel and stuff here at home doesn't make it easier. Except for one time, I haven't played it since that time at Delan's place if you remember... with my dead-end adventures and two stop-and-go penalties in the very first two laps  

Since I got my new job, I'm not home until 19.30 and I'm pooped. My setup is at my parents house 60 km, or alternatively at Delan's place also 60 km away. IT SUCKS!!! I NEED MORE SPACE HERE!!!!

Hello Everyone.

Del has finally convinced me to join dMw, though I have been racing online with Doorman for quite some.

I wish everyone the best of luck with this competition. Rememember, a quick steady lap will be quicker that a flat out lap with mistakes. 14.2 miles is a long way.

The GT Legends lap is two straights longer than the GT4 one, so direct lap comparisons are out of the window.  The GT4 track looks more accurate than the GPL based one used in GT Legends but beggars can't be choosers.

Good luck everyone with this competition, my favorite for this competition is del, but sn00ks is a definate dark horse. All it takes is one bad (easily made) accident and it is wide open. So anyone who has done a little practice stands a good chance.

Good luck all.

Deetz.   :devil:

Welcome Deetz
I can tell already that you are a discerning type...
and hedging your bets already? :narnar:

[Doorman]

I should point out that 'del' is delanvital. As far as I can see he has no chance.  :whistle:
