[IceWarden]

running late. family won't leave

 

[Schmiggz]

RM Integra night!

LOL, there's not a lot of choices for FF at that level

 

[jobyone]

I know everyone is probably asleep but I am headed to D3 for some cap testing/ practice


Does anyone have a low mileage Ford RS200 they could send me?

 

[jobyone]

Hey Guys,

Can I get a clarification from Race four last night. The Scoring sheet says that jlbowler and Kendawg both came in 1st. While I know a tie is possible I assume this did not happen last night

 

[JLBowler]

Kendawg won the race and I was second.

 

[IceWarden]

Whoops. I am definitely not qualified to run a scoring sheet and drink beer.

So guess which one suffers

 

[IceWarden]

Thursday tentative lineup.

FF: Spoon Integra Type R '98. 422pp
4WD: Audi TT 3.2. 428pp
MR: NSX Type R '92. 468pp
FR: 350Z GT4 Ltd. 461pp

1779pp

 

[JLBowler]

I was waiting for the official go ahead but I'd better post the new PP level for Monday night before I forget about it.

The PP level for Monday will be 2100. Enjoy.

Thanks for making a pick. I will get the official results up shortly. One thing about your chosen PP. we have capped the limit at 2000. I think beyond that and the FF selection gets too small. Even at 2000 there were only a few options. Would you like to run 1900 or would you like to pick something lower?

I'm hoping to make Thurs night but my ps3, router and tv are still packed up. Comcast is supposed to activate my internet around 5 tomorrow

Well then, the tire chart shouldn't say 2000+ then, should it? I kid, just busting your balls a bit. I will give it some though and come up with another number today.

Edit: It's later today and I will go with 1660 for the new number. I wanted to go 1400 but that would just be too slow so 1660 it is.

 

[jobyone]

Congrats to JLBowler for coming in and grabbing the win That Pole made the difference

Ken finished a close second Bowler has already chosen 1660 PP (unless he changes his mind again) so feel free to choose the qualifying track.

Great choices. Nice to be coming back to normal PP range:tup:

Also is there no one out there that has a nice low mileage RS200 that they could send me? I can rig the scores and make it worth your while

 

[JLBowler]

I just saw two of them (RS200) in my UCD and they both had over 80000 KM on them. I still don't have a low mileage example for myself.

 

[88GTA]

I'm likely out for tonight guys but I put a line up in the spreadsheet just in case.

I should have everything set up and moved by this weekend so I'm hoping to be racing again by Monday at the latest. Have fun

I will be there about 8.

 

[IceWarden]

Way too early. Ken and I (and our guest star in his reasonably priced cars: KCheeb) will be racing at 10pm No bonus points for being in the wrong time zone.

I think joby meant 8 pdt? If so, he'll catch the second half 👍

Question, when does the 'guest star' monikor get dropped? I can deal with the guest part of it, but star

 

[racefan78]

I will be racing tonight. I'll post my lineup as soon as i figure it out. So probably a few minutes before race time

Official Announcement

With the end of May it is now time to choose some new tracks. Based on usage the following tracks are safe:

6 - Deep Forest Raceway
5 - Special Stage Route 5 (Night)
4 - Fuji GT
4 - High Speed Ring

These tracks are not:

3 - Nürburgring Nordschleife
3 - Mazda Laguna Seca
3 - Grand Valley East
3 - Autodromo Nazionale Monza (With Chickens)
3 - Eiger Nordwand Track Short Track

Three of them will be replaced. Everyone that has raced in the last two months can vote. To vote please send me a PM with the following:

1. Which two tracks you want to vote off
2. Three new tracks you would like to add to the list

So your vote could look like this:

1. Remove Eiger and Monza
2. Add Spa, Suzuka, Twin Ring Motegi

If everyone could get me there votes fairly quickly I will get the new tracks grouped up so people can be prepared for Monday.

I will do a full results post tomorrow for tonight's race but Joe and Ken go ahead and make your picks.

 

[IceWarden]

Vote cast...I would like to mention a couple things...

Maybe implement the tire compound change we talked about? This might influence my PP choice

And I would like to see a 4th track per group added so we can put some shorter tracks in when the PP dips down or we want a good FF track etc.

How is this for the Tire compounds?

1400-1700 PP Cap - Sports Hards
1701-1850 PP Cap - Sports Mediums
1851-2000 PP Cap - Sports Softs​

What do other people think of a 4th track for each group?
