Awesome racing tonight guys. That's the most clean side by side close competitive racing I've enjoyed in a while. I really think the balanced line up is the way to go. I was competitive and had someone to race with all night.
 
Congrats Joe and Ken. Sorry about my racing last night, I felt like I was just a roadblock.

Hoping I can do better next week, the sports mediums should help...

Oh you will be glad to note we are using Sports Softs next week.

1851pp - 2000pp is Sport Soft ;)

I'd drop the extra pp and take the tire (race hard)


-------------------------------------

Can't find a car on the list:

Evolution VI GSR T.M. SCP '99 - 473pp broke in
 
^ Sweet, sports softs will help even more. That Evo is on the list as NBI at 469pp so that makes sense. Break in is usually +4pp in that range.

Testing after work today:

FF - RM Integra Type R '04 469pp
4WD - Clix Concept '01 461pp
MR - RUF 3400S '00 477pp
FR - M3 CSL '03 497pp

4 cars, one decade.

1885pp makes the range 424 for the low and 518 as the max right?
 
Well that was odd....I needed to put nearly 80 miles on the Scirocco to finish breaking it in so I did a 4 lap race around Route X. While the lineup said I started 4th, the timing said 7th and that I was a lap behind :lol:
 
Well my "balanced" lineup seemed to serve me well last night. My highest car was 414pp and the lowest was 401pp. Had a good race with someone every round, never won a race but managed to finish the night near the top half of the leader board.

I feel bad for Owens since no one else brought their big dogs to play at Motegi he almost lapped the entire field. He probably could have used the extra 15-20pp somewhere else last night :)

Going to try it again this week.

Choosing a lineup is not going to easy because I would normally choose a low FF or 4wd and grab high FR and MR. Probably will be driving some cars I have never driven this week.

Looking back at the sign up sheet. You were 2 PP over. So I guess you finished second RIGHT?
 
I was right at 1640 last night. Looks like someone squeeked 1 more PP out of the 205 Turbo and the Hommel some time today. Oh well.

MY cars only had 1640 ;)

I guess you get to pick the PP and I'll pick the track then ;)

Owens can you send me one of your super powered Hommel and Peugeot? Also you sent me a yellow Altezza awhile back...did you want a red one?

I'm actually good with the pp and track the way it is now. You just need to send the trophy to me.
 
For the first time ever, I prepared my set on Sunday. Took my sweet little time, compared several vehicles, made a big list and quietly chose the final four.
As usual, I dumped the FF option with a modest Nissan Primera to try to be as competitive as possible with the drivetrains that I like and if the Chrysler Crossfire kinda disappointed me as it was not able to beat a '90 Elise and gave me a poor 6th place, the 205 T16 and the Clio fully achieved my expectations although it caused me a spinal shake when I realized Ice Warden was using the exact same car and starting only two positions behind me. That was scary :).
But ended up being a fantastic 16 lap battle without any break times. Thankfully I managed to put out the best of me, making no mistakes and end up beating a racer that I recognize as much better than me.
The Clio was spot on. 10 seconds gap to Taz says it all. I was pretty happy as turning my PS3 off.
 
Ok, I'm confused with the RUF 3400....mine has 11k on it, engine rebuilt and chassis redone but is still only at 476PP while the spreadsheet says 477 :confused:
