Two things:
I may have to take a call during the race tonight, so you may see my car randomly parked off the track

Anyone having trouble signing in right now? I can't get on PSN and it says they're online.

Auditioning for a band??? Hold on... You play music, racefan? What's your instrument?
I'm a bass player and used to be in bands in the past before coming to Canada.

 

[Schmiggz]

I don't think I'll be on tonight... Not feeling good enough to race.
I'm in the process of quit smoking and on the terrible first week yet and I'm having serious trouble to keep focused and fighting anxiety. Last Sunday I abandoned after race 2 as I couldn't find the pace and rhythm to keep up with those guys.
Hope you guys understand and I'll try to make it for Thursday.

Koz, the European sedans are a very restricted group and very few choices.

Group 1:
Jaguar S Type R 482
Audio RS6 488
BMW M3 Coupe 488
Mercedes E55 AMG 497
Mercedes C63 500
Jaguar XFR 503

Group 2:
Volvo S60 T-5 Sport 421
Alfa Romeo GT 3.2 V6 423

Not BMW M3 Coupe. But BMW M5

Had a fun night of racing thx guys, surprised my self with 1st in points. I'm going to pick 1700 combined pp (sh).

 

[88GTA]

Great racing last night guys and congrats to @Kgffy on the win. I'm still shocked that I have a tie-breaker arm wrestling comp with @kendawg for 2nd.

Looking forward to tomorrow's test night. Spreadsheet has been updated under "Thursday sign-up."

 

[kendawg]

I drove like a "Joe" last night.

 

[IceWarden]

I'm proud of you! Got 2nd in spite of me

I drove like me and only managed a 4th. You must be a better me than me!

 

[bloodredsky]

Sorry I missed out again, I'm hard back on the tuned cars. Although you guys gave me the idea for a tuned DTC (honor system/friends only). It could work.

 

[kendawg]

My Thursday night special is posted and ready to race....

Tonight's racing will be in a friend's only room (10pm/7pm like Tuesdays) so if you would like to race please make sure we are PSN friends (Koszak27 is my PSN) and please post in the thread if you are planning to race.

The racing classes are in this post and detail the cars that can be chosen for European sedans, Miata/MX-5 cup, JGTC GT500 and Eurasian Classics. Many of the GT500 cars look to have inflated GT5 pp values so consult your dealership when picking a car for that class.

If someone could volunteer to do spreadsheet data entry that would be great. Typically when I steal the TV my wife steals the laptop and using my phone is slow at best.

Tonight's line-up:
Benz C63 AMG '08 507pp
Miata SR-Limited '97 369pp
Tom's Supra '01 577pp
Galant GTO MR '70 357pp

See you on track!

[88GTA]

Congrats to @kendawg on winning every race last night. It helped me out by not having to keep score.

I discovered this awesome car in the GT500 race:

 

[racefan78]

Damn, looks like i missed some good racing.

 

[Schmiggz]

DTC is falling back to 5/6 people on track again which is sad and boring in my opinion so maybe us, the hard core group, should splash some advertisement out there.

1700pp straight up
