[Wolfsatz]

I have not fixed my brake POT yet, keeps getting stock at the worst places... I don't want to ruin anyone's fun (my own too) so I rather pull out.

Have fun guys!

 

[bloodredsky]

Can we please see some of this on L1 T1 ?

Two wide is possible, that's all I'm saying.

 

[DMacs13]

Is the room up???

 

[danfurey]

Can we please see some of this on L1 T1 ?

Two wide is possible, that's all I'm saying.

Just out of curiosity, what is that from?

 

[IceWarden]

So I choose 1710pp no split for next week

 

[jobyone]

Congrats Joe! How did everyone like the rain? What was the winning tire strategy?

 

[tezgm99]

I think Joe used CS all round.

Enjoyed it since it suits my driving style of smoothness pretty well. I went with CS on the fronts and SH on the rears and was finally gaining ground on the guys in front at the end but the rain wasn't heavy enough for me to actually be a threat (it peaked around 35%...if it had stayed raining, we would have gotten to nearly 60% surface water) unless they visited the beach

Edit: can I just add, that race at Ascari in the Sirion/Storia and the Elements was arguably the most fun I've ever had on GTP....I've always maintained that there's something to be said about low PP cars

 

[Schmiggz]

for me the rain was not the problem. The car was. Very negative surprise that miata 1.8. Slow as ****

 

[88GTA]

Congrats Joe! Sorry I couldn't make it last night guys, but it sounds like next week will be awesome with that PP field. Which tracks were used?

 

[IceWarden]

Monza, ascari, tsukuba, indy road. Fun night

 

[88GTA]

Monza, ascari, tsukuba, indy road. Fun night

I missed Tsukuba Diver? Son of a...

I would have left Element rubber all over that place.

Premature lineup because I wish today was next Tuesday:
FF - RenaultSport Clio RS '11 410pp
4WD - Ford RS200 '84 440pp
FR - Chevy Camaro IROC-Z '88 429pp
MR - Opel Speedster Turbo '00 430pp

Four of my most favoritest cars and I get to use them all in one night!

 

[bloodredsky]

Dan the Gallardo's at T1/T2 Monza is the 'Gallardo Super Trofeo Series', pic is from the 2012 season, i believe.

Great races last night, even though I messed up my lineup hugely. Ended up picking the wrong tires for race 1, finished just about last, then I beat the field by like 40 seconds at ascari in the Mr.2, then I ended up using my 4W Sirion in the wrong race to get another last place lol. Good racing overall though, quite enjoyable indeed.

Congrats to Joe and who got 2nd? Carbo was it ? Do we know what track is getting picked yet...and you said it was what, 1750pp Joe ? With no split right?

*Edit ah 1710 I got it

 

[88GTA]

Joe said 1710pp no split (427.5pp average).

That pic of turn 1 at Monza shows the yellow Gallardo being rear-ended.

 

[IceWarden]

@kendawg got 2nd.

 

[tezgm99]

@kendawg got 2nd.

Which I'm sure he doesn't appreciate since he's done that the last few weeks....I'm expecting him to go on the rampage soon

 

[bloodredsky]

Oh my b. Yeah that's 4 2nd places in a row for Ken, 2nd every week I've raced with him. Supreme fast alert.

 

[IceWarden]

Well if he'd stop trying to run me off the road and focus on himself...I have Kenmarks (my new catchphrase) all over my Element at Ascari and my TF160 at Tsukuba (I just let him go in front of me because he was so aggressive).

In some cases he even used remote control to turn my car into his making it APPEAR as if I were hitting him...but that is pure bull hockey.

Don't let him near your pit garage...he'll put a remote on yours too....

 

[kendawg]

I will say that I will enjoy 2nd eveytime we race with the battles and great racing that I/we have had.

Battled that Joe guy last night every race. He would rub up against me every time I passed him or tried to pass. He kept talking in a different language too. This guy is definitely in his on world.

 

[Schmiggz]

what? I left my mic on again while talking **** about my car choice in portuguese?

 

[kendawg]

@kendawg got 2nd.

High Speed Ring

 

[racefan78]

This series is just the best.

 

[88GTA]

Don't forget, 1710pp put us just into sports medium tires also.

 

[Schmiggz]

High speed slow car ring??? Awesoooome
Racefan, don't make that comment to Kcheeb... He gets maaaad

 

[Schmiggz]

what is the high and low limit? I dont know the formula...

 

[bloodredsky]

Pretty sure it's 406-449 but that's just my 5% guestimate.

 

[IceWarden]

Pretty sure it's 406-449 but that's just my 5% guestimate.

Looks good

 

[Schmiggz]

so its 5% up and down the average point? okis...cool.

 

[kendawg]

Congrats Joe! How did everyone like the rain? What was the winning tire strategy?

I ran the Alfa Romeo FF on Sport Hards. Got the pole but could do no better than 3rd. Had a good battle with Carbon for second.

 

[Schmiggz]

the miata i used was the 1600 NR and its tremendously slower than the 1.8 cousin. I would get closer to Danfurey on the tight corners but on the straights was just bye bye.
