Here is another race idea:
-Car(s): Super GT cars
-Track: Twin Ring Motegi Road Course (weather and time change)
-Reasoning/Presentation:

I know we might have done a Super GT car at a track sometime earlier in the year as well as having a GT3 Class car racing on Suzuka this upcoming Saturday. But I was wondering if we could host a Super GT race at a track allowing all kinds of Super GT cars. Preferable in the GT500 Class (GT300 is optional for anyone). This idea came to me when we completed Le Mans a week or two ago when we had a Supra on the track. Twin Ring was picked due to technical Layout as well of the optional passing opportunities are tough however rewarding when timed with proper precision.
 
we need to get more street cars involved. We've had a long run of Racing Cars (whicH i love, don't get me wrong).

let's find some fun regular cars. Ford Focus ST? a Jaguar? LFA Nurb Edition? PLymouth 'Cuda? Volvo 240 Estate?

I was thinking about getting back to some of those things like Super GT, Rally, etc...for FLEX once the current schedule is run through. We did run some Super GT races earlier in the year, and they were quite fun (at least for those who showed up :lol:). I'm also considering pitting some of the Vision GT cars against each other if they are similar enough in speed around any certain course. I'd have to do some testing, but it's something I'm looking at that could be interesting.
 
FLEX Plug!!! :lol: Come for the fun as we take three generations of the Acura NSX out on the track! Uh...I guess I really don't have much else to say about it. :dunce: Check out post #850 on page 29 in the FLEX thread for details.
 
Will not be around for races or practice at least this and next week. Have water damage issues at our summer place. Should be way more fun than racing.

Was planning to use a cunning 3-pit strategy, putting in just enough fuel to get me to the next pit to save time. I have a feeling it would've worked in the long run, but I guess we'll never know.
 
I did the cowardly thing: I quit the race. Things were not going well for me, and so to save myself the grief, I left.
 
Some good racing tonight. I totally pissed away the race by writing down the wrong fuel number. Didn't realize it until it was too late and i ran out of fuel after only 9 laps on the third stint. Had to milk the tires to get home and take 2nd, but hector with his 5 stops took it down! Well done!


Results:
Gtmx-hecto1 2:03:43.911
Micantony. +12.919
Chocochocochip5. +28.391
Gtp_severn +1:01.375
Spyagent1439 👍👍👍 +1 L (1st place in division!:cheers:)

And bionic, i dont think there is any way you could have held on with a 3 stopper. Maybe with my screw up it might have just worked, but not under normal circumstances. But who knows i guess. :lol:
 
Congrats hecto1. Well done.

I didn't figure in pit stops when I did the lap count. That's why it ran over two hrs guys. Sorry for that.
 
@micantony

Was thinking I'd only be losing 3-5 seconds per pit stop, and that I'd gain time by pitting twice less. Only put 25 in the tank for the first pit, basically the same amount of time it would take to change the tires. Last pit would be 35ish fuel, only seconds extra in the pit.

Plus I realised I could do 2:00 laps with the front tires on 3. Was okay with playing defense at the end.
