If anyone is a motorsport fan and hasn't watched it yet, I would advise you to check out 'The Last Teammate' on youtube. It's a 45 minute doco with Damon Hill and David Brabham when they go to Imola 20 years after one of F1's worst weekends ever.

 

[danfurey]

Tried a bunch of cars last night...and still not sure what I'm gonna do. I'm so wishy washy...can't commit to a damn lineup...

When in doubt, take the Element.

Is it about Senna's crash?

 

[tezgm99]

Is it about Senna's crash?

And Roland's, yes (hence why Brabham is in it).

Hey Joby. Trial Mountain was replace by Tez with Motegi Super Speedway.
Group C

 

[tezgm99]

I would like to apologise for my terrible driving at Eiger. I'm not sure there was a car or fence I didn't hit there

 

[jobyone]

Hey Joby. Trial Mountain was replace by Tez with Motegi Super Speedway.
Group C

I will get that updated. I need an assistant

 

[Schmiggz]

I will get that updated. I need an assistant

I can assist you... What you need me to do? Cook? Clean? Laundry?

 

[kendawg]

Jobyone is like Charlie on Charlies Angels.

Jobyone is like Charlie on Charlies Angels.

If that makes you all my Angels I want my money back.

2000PP no split

 

[IceWarden]

2000PP no split

Last week was 1990. The new PP needs to be at least 100pp away from previous week.

2090 sounds like a good number

 

[bloodredsky]

I thought 2000PP was the max? Because I'm totally game for going like 2200 or something otherwise lol

 

[jobyone]

I think we should keep the cap at 2000. Above that there are no FF cars that can be used. 2000 cap still gives the ability to take one split in to the 600PP+ car range. So lets keep the PP range between 1400-2000...

...like the OP says

 

[bloodredsky]

..go ahead and pick the PP Ken. Sarthe 09 no chicanes

Some shots from last night

Brands Hatch. T1 unscathed


S1 15th battle

Twin Ring Motegi. Schmig picked the right car for this track #CalibraSuperExcellento


Me and Tez. I call this shot "epic battle of men" We tussled all race, we even were trading mistakes at one point. Onto Bathurst !

'one of these things are not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong'

very much action at the start of this race

action


Eiger reverse - this race was a lot of fun


tight

there's a lot of nice details on the crz touring. good racing all

 

[kendawg]

Very Nice Pics Blood.

 

[kendawg]

..go ahead and pick the PP Ken. Sarthe 09 no chicanes

Lets go with 1875

 

[danfurey]

Lets go with 1875

Edit: Nevermind, stupid question.

 

[jobyone]

When in doubt, take the Element.

Speaking of the Element I have a new idea…

It is a mix between Cat and Mouse and the Nissan March challenge during the 2013 GT Academy boot camp.

Cars needed
1 Red VW ’76 GTI on comfort soft tires
1 Blue VW ’76 GTI on comfort soft tires
1 White Honda Element on comfort hard tires

This is a team event. The teams will be chosen by the fastest two qualifiers. They will alternate picks and choose teams. One will run blue cars the other red. If there is an odd number of racers the slowest qualifier will use their White Element.

The race will be 5 laps at Tsukuba. The first person across the finish lines is declared the winner.

The rules are as follows:

There are no Rules. Actually that is not correct. Anything goes between the Red and Blue team. Out right dirty driving is encouraged. But neither Red nor Blue can touch or intentionally impede the Element.

Once someone finishes the race the top two finishers get to pick teams and if there is an uneven number of racers the 3rd place gets to choose who will be in the Element.

Penalties will be off, Damage on High.

So that is my idea. Does anyone like the sound of it?

Crazy

 

[Schmiggz]

And Roland's, yes (hence why Brabham is in it).

I just saw it now... Crazy how after all these years Ratzemberger's head swinging left and right still gets me goose bumps and Senna's crash still pulls a tear.
What a dreadful weekend for Motorsport.

 

[IceWarden]

Lineup chosen. No race cars Driving for fun!

FF-Trial Celica 467pp
FR-RX-7 '01 469pp
4WD-Skyline R33 '96 464pp
MR-NSX Type-R '02 475pp

My most balanced lineup in ages. Should be a good mid pack finish with no race cars (one tuner car)

 

[GTP_unleashed]

What for today's race? What cars?

 

[IceWarden]

For Tuesday's race

 

[Schmiggz]

What for today's race? What cars?

There's nothing going on today as Koszac is not around.
Main event practicing.

I'm bringing the Trial too, Joe
