Give me just a second I'll check. Finishing a b-spec race right now.  :thumb:
I've got several Ford race cars, not sure if there's a IV.
Are you talking about the GT, or the GT40?

If you go to your drivers page, you'll see a little black globe icon.
Click that. It'll ask if you want to share that driver, then click 'yes'.

Here's the Ford race cars I've got:

- Ford GT LM Race Car Spec II
- Ford GT '05
- Mustang GT '05
- GT40 Race Car '69

But none with a "IV" designation.  :scratch:

I put the GT LM as 'shared'.
631 PP, you should have some fun.

I like the idea Ed. Would be great if we (you, Rich and myself) could be on at the same time.
No promises though....going on a vacation next weekend. Today is our last "big" day to pack.

Bob

We have a few bugs to work out yet.  thanks for helping us last night.  We quickly picked the vette last night but it was really acting funny.  Couldn't get any traction.
From this point forward and racing online.  What tracks do you usually go to and what car should we be saving for?
Have a good vaca, Bob and Bob's son in St. Louis.

Trans Am;
- I've got a nice Corvette I'll put on my shared list tonight when I get home. Are you doing the American racing Championship and need a car? I've got three that are nice. The Ford (that's in my shared folder now), a Race car Corvette, and a Viper. I'll put all of them in my shared folder.

- Trev's PS name is "BobinStLouis"........I know, that's kinda confusing.

- Regarding not getting any traction, make sure ASM is [On], and traction control is on. The higher the traction control setting, the less wheel spin you'll get. Although, at the cost of speed.

- Despite the lack of track time, I had a great time last night fellas!  :D

.........oh, by the way....
I'm racing your one guy right now. I can make you more cash if you give me more guys.
Unless you're doing the big 9 hour and 24 hours races that require multiple drivers, leave them all shared.
