Just read track swap!!! Buying lotto ticket today cause this guy feels pretty lucky!

Any chance you could share the winning numbers with me so I can get a few tickets as well? One of the places we're stopping at is Manhattan Motorcars, I'd like to have a little money to throw around there.
 
Just had a session at the Ring. I am more excited for this then spa. Theres a couple spots that the car gets air, high speed turns, hairpins. This is going to be a shootout
 
Everyone ready for Cape Ring Sat. night?

This is going to be a long and arduous 42 Laps of straights , hairpins ,sweepers and chicanes.

Its going to be great! See everyone tomorrow night.

You got that right. A Saturday night workout.
Just ran a few laps and the hardest thing I see for tonight is keeping focused and concentration for 42 laps.

The people who win the races in SPEC are the people who are most consistant every lap
 
I was feeling so good in this track (I qualified 3rd! :D), but in the race the tires were locking even with ABS :crazy: It made my car understeer and crash into the barriers :mad:

Bad stuff happens
 
Sorry to leave but I screwed up majorly. Started on hards. Went well. Then pitted and for some reason I forgot to swap to softs. Should of stayed out for 5-7 laps on them and pitted. But I come around and pit again. At this point my blood is boiling and I was in no shape to race for another 75 minutes.

See ya all in two weeks. Maybe this time I will have better luck. Fark me.

The new season has begun. With every driver now having a chance to try out the new Soft compound, a new challenge has risen in the form of Cape Ring. 4.39 miles of high speed cornering, hairpins, long straightaways, and even bridges would put frustration into the minds of many drivers.

OwensRacing missed out on last week in Belgium running a partial schedule this season. For one of the few races he is running this season he gets P1 and leads the field on the green light preparing for 42 laps.

Fans gather on the wall as the small field of only 7 cars brake into turn one and fight for every position on the track.

Cape Ring has two tracks. The grid begins on the outside and now going into the infield through the first hairpin.

Cape Ring claims its first victim as tcrash15 goes for a wild ride off a turn on front straightaway of the inside

OwensRacing leads 4 drivers out of the 2nd hairpin through the high speed S and prepare to take flight.

This track has it all. Yes, even ramps. THRASH_46 takes flight as they go under the POLYPHONY DIGITAL Arch

Through the circle known as the "BULLRING", decreasing in height slowly, 5 drivers try to keep the line all the way through.

By the time Lap 16 of 42 comes around, frustration has taken three drivers out of the race. Kendawg198 leads rossitronic, tcrash15, and THRASH_46 as the only drivers left.

With only two laps to go, Kendawg198 makes his final pitstop for Racing Soft Tires for a dash to the finish as rossitronic attempts to gain the lead.

He took the field to his backyard in Spa. and he takes the double In Cape Ring. Kendawg198 gets win number two on the season and retains the points lead.

rossitronic brings home second place for the second straight week. A great effort on his part, only behind by a close +6.093

tcrash15 gets his first podium of the year with a third place finish. and finishes seven seconds shy of the time limit for the race. +2:53.403

Cape Ring was a long night of racing by yourself via the fact there were only four cars on track for 26 laps. Hopefully there will be a huge turnout when we go to France for the biggest race of the season at Curcuit De La Sarthe for Round 3!:gtpflag:

Once again very good pics and commentary Thrash. I love the fans and the cars and trucks parked along the track with the mountains in the back ground. Such cool graphics GT5 has done.

Thank you, i try to get picks of cars battling with good backgrounds. Most of my pictures come from lap 1
 
Just ran a couple laps at Le-Mans in the dark. Best I could hit was a 4:03.5xx. On hards around a 4:10.xxx. and 2 laps used 16 liters and 3 laps 26 liters so this will be a great race
 
Thanks Owens
You were burning those hards up faster than I was the softs. I guess you had to, to be running that fast. :)

I was .2 off. My qualifying time. That track isn't my cup of tea. I drive waaay to hard for the push the car had here. LoL


Nic and I both praying this update balances the cars back to per 2.09 or a mix at least. ;)

I ran a few laps too. The night driving takes a couple of laps getting use too. I was running the same lap times.

Do we know how many laps the race is going to be?

I like driving at night. It eliminates distractions. And tcrash will report soon. I would also like to ask what cycle of time/weather we are running. Will it be like the race at nurburgring 1 day cycle n a wildcard on rain?
