I dont think you should put to much tought into lap times, in a Endurance enviroment is all about consitency. for example i the Mixed endurance event i won by driving good, I wasn't the fastest but i knew my defending and i didn't make a single mistake during the whole race. It's good if u can get a quick laptime for sure but can yuo do it again? i think the winner is a person who can put up the same good laptime over and over again not teh person who gets one big lap and just bad laps except for that one big one. Hotlapping cant prepare you in a good way, hotlapping possibilities are very limited in an endurance race. I know and I am running 6:03s to 6:06s pretty consistently.But still consistentcy won't be enough if I'm 9 seconds of the pace,even more for some of the fastest guys.Race craft is very useful and is definitely one of the most important things in a race but if you're lagging behind you can't use it.And hotlapping is pretty useful,you need to be quick and know your lines(I'm ashamed to say until last weekend when I watched broughy's racing school videos I didn't even know how exactly you were supposed to take a corner) if you want to do good in races. This first track is North Loop, too easy to make alot of mistakes there. I would just focus on being consistent and let the times sort themselves out. Since we don't have to worry about new tires or refueling, the only thing we can do to make this more realistic is make the races marathons, and allow mistakes to be the great equalizer (like in real life). If the 30th guy in a pro race is a second or two off the leaders pace, they don't panic, because there is still hours left in the race to make it up.

Weazel News Exclusive Interview By Malinda Manchester. Good day everyone! Today I bring you this exclusive interview with this hotshot driver. Renegade1911. He will be racing in tonight's inaugural Multi-Class Endurance Championship (MCEC) and he has agreed to answer a few of my not-at-all nosy questions! So brace yourself for some motorsport goodness. Here goes! Me: Hello Renegade, great to have you here. Now, how are you feeling before the first race? Nervous? R: No, not really. Not this time. Well, maybe a little. Yeah. Nevermind. You know, when you've been racing at this level for as long as I have, you don't get nervous anymore. I know the car, I know the track, I know my opponents. There is nothing that can surprise me anymore. I'm confident. So yeah, you could say I'm feeling good, thanks for asking Malinda. Me: That is good to hear. You say that you have been doing races like this one for a long time now. How long is that exactly? About 4 months, right? R: Yeah. But that's like light years by San Andreas racing standards. Me: Light years. Right. Tell us a little bit more about this multi-class thing and what car will you be racing. R: There will be 16 racers on the grid. Tonight that'll be 8 Schafters and 8 Premiers, each racing only against the other cars of the same model. I'll be in the GT2 class in my Premier. My teammate Broughy1322 will man the RON Racing Schafter. The Premier is a nice little car. It doesn't have much power and it's steering is bad, but that only means we'll have more fun going side by side into corners with other cars. We have worked extensively on our car to make sure we have the performance we need to take on our class. GT2 will be packed with big names. I ain't scared of nobody, but scoring points here won't be easy. At all. I do predict some close battles though. I'm thinking our class will be very fun to watch. Renegade1911's racing spec Premier. That car looks silly, if you ask me. Me: Oh I am sure it will. You've mentioned your teammate, Broughy1322. Isn't he the chief organizer for MCEC? How is that working out for him? R: You'd have to ask him. I do find it a little bit weird, since he's also the head of the MCEC Ethics Committee and he basically creates all the rules himself. But I don't mind. He's a good driver and I'm glad to have someone like him on our team, even if some do find his position a little weird. There's no conflict of interest going on, I'm sure. Me: Very well. Next question. You have signed with RON Racing. This isn't the first oil company you'll be racing for. You have been with Xero Gas in the past and from what I gathered it was a fruitful relationship. R: Oh it was. Xero gave me the chance to get into endurance racing and I'm thankful for that. But it was time to move forward. RON made me an offer I could not refuse. But it's not all about money. It's also about knowing that you're supporting a product you can stand behind. RON Oil gas is the best on the market folks. Make sure you try it out. You won't ever want to switch back. Trust me. You all know I put my money where my mouth is. Me: That has to warm your heart, indeed. How happy were you with MCEC's selection of cars you will have to use in upcoming races? R: I'm elated I'll get to race the Schwartzer and the Sentinel XS. Both great cars. I can tell you I am not too happy about the Vigero and the FQ2. I'd prefer the Phoenix and perhaps the Gresley. But yeah, rules are rules, not much I can do about that now. Me: Alright. Well, it has been a major pleasure to have you here Renegade. Best of luck to you today and in the rest of the season. R: No problem Malinda, thanks for having me.

Rebel Radio Racing Press Release: 9/28/2014 Rebel Radio, your home for the best country music in the state of San Andreas, is proud to announce their partnership with the Nonchalant Dominance Muli-Class Racing Association for the Endurance Championship. Rebel Radio will be sponsoring two drivers in the championship races, veteran BlueEyedMalice, and brash newcomer Ser Tandur. The Rebel Radio Racing Team is honored that both drivers feel that their team gives them a unique connection to their fans. Ser Tandur spoke about how raising his two sons listening to Rebel Radio at home is a normal occurence. "I know the impact Rebel Radio has made on the lives of our family, so to get to represent the network is absolutely awesomesauce!" he said. "It's important to represent the racing fan base at heart." Racing with the Rebel Radio logo has also provided BlueEyedMalice with a unique way to connect with multi-class racing fans. “Rebel Radio has helped me bridge the gap between fans. When a fan says to me ‘I listen to Rebel Radio’ in my mind they are letting me know, ‘Hey, I’m a redneck, too.’ So, you have an automatic bond and connection with the fans that I wouldn’t have had otherwise.” Note: I'm not good at press releases. So I hate to admit I borrowed the gist of that from Michael McDowell's NASCAR bio page (he drives for K-LOVE radio)

After a night of testing the backup will not be available for my GT2 car. Lucky for me Junk loves me being crazy and is offering me more cars to go wild with.

Merryweather Security Consulting Merryweather Security Consulting is granting the Nonchalant Dominance Championship a free protection program as public law enforcement is incompetent and inefficient. Merryweather jets will be protecting the area and two of our expert drivers will be patrolling the racetrack. Trespassers will be shot, survivors will be shot again.

Click Lovers Motorsports day at the North Loop Endurance ended early today with both cars experiencing mechanical issues early in the race. GT1 driver doodlemonoply was leading the race and pulling away after recording a schorching 5:24 laptime when the engine burst in to smoke. Many fans were left dissapointed with doodle's DNF, but he says he's ready to bring Los Santos Grand Prix and the rest of the season by storm. GT2 driver jimbob-STROUD was running in 7th position at the time of his unfortunate engine failure.
Click Lovers is currently looking into the issue of what went wrong and wishes the best of luck to the remaining competetors.

I hope they didn't come from Sony. Bad reputation they have in the racing circles.

I feel somewhat guilty for this as I was hosting and you were having such an amazing race aswell, maybe we let broughy host next time see if thats any better? Although I think it's just R* trolling and even the best host in the world wouldn't have 0 dc's.

Maybe my internet was having an off day, because that was the 2nd time I disconnected today.
