im actually really thinking of holding social events in my garage since theres nothing to do in chch quake city,4 teams of 2,with pit and change driver sort of deal,going to run it and see what people think,its just what to charge is the hardest thing,wasthinking $30 each for 3hours racing but it would be only 1.5hours in the driven seat coz you are paired up.Any ideas welcome?
will be runnin the edurance mod at 1st and pit in every 10 laps

About the laptop, it should be fine as long as you keep it well ventilated. I have a 2 1/2 year old HP that still runs rFactor on full settings quite smoothly.

A laptop will be fine Foxman, just keep it well ventilated. Place some small blocks or something under it so there is good airflow.
