I'll be online shortly... I practiced a little the other day but have absolutely no pit strategy or concepts haha.
 
Neither do I :lol: I'm just going to wing if and see what happens
 
Sorry I missed out tonight. After going into work extra early today and having no breaks ('tis the season at the swimming pool supply store :yuck:), I fell asleep watching TV after dinner when I got home. It was past 11 when I woke up on the couch. Spent 2 million on the car and didn't even race it. :grumpy: Hope you guys had fun.
 
Got back to back wins tonight. A first for me. And against some div1 guys. I don't know if I'll be able to sleep or not. Great racing everybody. It's amazing what some practice can do.
Congrats Randy! I was gaining in those last ten laps but just didn't have enough time to make back the some 30 seconds I lost. Also I'd like to apologize to @Chocochocochip5 for that one incident. It was my fault and I take the blame for it. And anyways karma came back on the last lap when I drove into the corner too deep and the car snapped right into the wall. Anyways, great racing from everyone tonight and congrats to Randy! :cheers: 👍

This Saturday

Ferrari 458 Italia '09 at Silverstone National Circuit

This car is very well suited to the track, I've driven it at Silverstone, and it's fantastic.

The 458 and NSX come to mind first when I think of the really good M/R vehicles we have now.
And the McLaren too I guess..

12C or F1?
 
Well I think I know what was slowing me down last night.
Was studying the replays and even though I had a nice smooth and precise rhythm going most of the time, the way I was throwing it into 1 and 3.. I was looking at how the right suspension was compressing all the way down, and bottoming out I think.. And then I wasn't carrying as much speed through 2 and 4 and down the straights.
I'm fairly certain that was it mostly, because my laps were smooth looking, just slow.

It was still a lot of fun though.. In race 2, I remembered to take a couple clicks of extra fuel on my last stop.
Forgot to do that in race 1 and had to do the last few laps in 6th more and feather the gas to save fuel.
Race 2, Spyagent was closing at the end and would have caught me for sure, but I think he ran out of fuel.
Not sure.. but I was pushing hard at the end..
 
Wanted to throw in last night's results before I forget :lol:

TRL FXX Indy 145! (cuz... 58 laps was 145mi :P)

Race 1:
1. randy1122 -------- 45:37.670
2. GTP_Severn ------ +30.241
3. chocochocochip5 - +34.996
4. euclid58 ---------- +1:38.153
5. spyagent1439 ---- DNF
6. gr8racrs ---------- DNF
7. crimsonrage ------ DNF

Race 2:
1. randy1122 ------- 45:34.664
2. chocochocochip5 - +26.860
3. gr8racrs --------- +28.893
4. euclid58 --------- +1:03.888
5. spyagent1439 ---- DNF

Brief, brief synopsis (someone can feel free to elaborate... or just read posts above :lol:)
Randy crushed... once he got out front there was no catching him.
BionicDerp had a major malfunction during qualifier... engine just completely exploded... Fortunately, we could hear over the radio that he safely got out of the burning wreckage. Unfortunately, the car was a write-off for the night.
gr8racrs started up front in both races running quick, quick laps but had a little trouble when the tires started to get greasy.
In the first race, Severn would pull the lead from gr8racrs and then just watch as Randy got closer... and closer... and closer... finally the nerves were too much and he put it into an outside wall. The outside wall had no interest in keeping him and sent him flying across track, straight into the inside wall... Fortunately, light damage meant that the engine, three wheels, and numerous broken bones magically fixed themselves, but not before dropping back significantly. These injuries would end up keeping him out of race 2.

I hate to leave out some folks here, but... like a dummy I forgot to save the replays (just snapped the results) so I don't have any more information than what I actually witnessed :dunce:
 
Side note: 4th place at the WRS Monaco. Good clean race. Lotta fun. P3 had a wreck on the first lap letting me run 3rd for the first 20 laps, but he took the position back after my pit and I ran the rest of the race holding 4th.
Goal accomplished 👍

Best disc... I mean accident report I've seen in a while.
It must have been terrible for him to see his $2 mil Prancing Horse up in flames.
