◆ SNAIL [Pack] Racing - Boost Racing - Where the excitement never ends!

[Mike Lobban]

Hey guys,I will be there tonight at 7:30 central 8:30 Est. cant wait. I'm not sure if I like the one hour race, it,s fun and all, but it's a long time in the seat for creaky old ass, whatever tho, I go with the flow.

 

[GTP_Nail]

You better....you seriously middle aged fhart. Lets do a couple of 30s at the ring and two 20's elsewhere......
Lets do one on the Type V and one on the 24 hours layout. Hells bells....time for FOOD and IV

 

[racingchamp30]

Are we doing one hour at Sierra or what you talking about Nail?

 

[DesertPenguin09]

So we're starting earlier, 8:30pm EST?

 

[racingchamp30]

yes, i am going to open the room at 7:30 pm central.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

cool

 

[racingchamp30]

opening the room in a couple minutes, just put on PS3

 

[racingchamp30]

Finally got a racing wheel, should be more stable in my driving with the wheel than i was with the controller. Still getting used to going from controller to steering wheel. Bear with me, will take time for me to get used to the wheel.

 

[Lessen]

How's the wheel champ?

 

[racingchamp30]

It's great Lessen. I am getting used to it and still just as clean as ever on the track. Just like with the controller, using the wheel will help me get faster lap times more i use the wheel. Don't have to use the pedals since the wheel acts like a controller. Are we going to race tomorrow night being Memorial day night or wait to race next Monday after that, i was thinking of a special event for Military veterans tomorrow night, maybe switch colors as close to military color or flag color.

 

[Mike Lobban]

I hope there is racing tonight. What else is there to do? I'll be looking about 7:30 central...8:30 est.

 

[Lessen]

What else is there to do?

Um... playing pCARS?...

 

[Adramike]

I'm hoping there is a race tonight as well. I'm still adjusting to my wheel and took a beating last night in the endurance race.


If nothing official, I'm sure we could work something out.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Unfortunately I don't have a lot of money and can't just get a PS4, new wheel, and Project Cars on a whim. I will be late to that party.

 

[racingchamp30]

Will be opening up the room at around 7:30 central, i guess Miata at Sierra and then BRZ at another track.

 

[GTP_Nail]

I'm still out from getting up at 3AM Sunday morning to race GTP ES at the Ring....thanks for putting with all the Nordschliefe tours we did over the last weeks..they paid off as Texasnd I finished the four hours in third on the lead lap ( well it is a BIG lap)...before we got DQd for a technicality that had nothing to do with driving. ( damn team manager is an idiot...oh wait...I am the team manager...oops)
See ya next week

Edit: attaboy To @TEX36 ....the average age of the drivers in our car was 70.5...talk about gentlemen drivers....Robbie was supposed to be with us to lower the average but he got involved in real racing....hope it went well. @RobbiefromBC GREAT SETUP !!!!!

 

[DesertPenguin09]

What's with the increased use of Sierra and Nordschleife? To be honest, I don't find it that enticing. I'd rather be at smaller tracks where we can attack the same corners many times and try different things. If I'm honest that was the original intent of this series right? To practice racing tightly in a group and working on clean overtakes. It makes more sense to attack the same corners many many times instead of Nordschleife or Sierra.

 

[racingchamp30]

race room open

 

[racingchamp30]

Want to race the Miata at Monza 80s track and BRZ at 2013 La Sarthe?

 

[Mike Lobban]

I'm with DP on this one. Unless you know every corner that's ahead of you on those two tracks you are not going to be able to compete. Sarthe is a little different in that there are not that many turns to learn.

As for the track selection tonight, I will be there on whatever tracks are picked. I love this series.
Maybe we can use a higher powered car for the longer tracks....... Sambabus, yeah.

 

[racingchamp30]

Which tracks are good for the Miata and BRZ we haven't tried yet, any suggestions, maybe one of the Matterhorn tracks?

 

[TEX36]

How about:
Mazda @ Matterhorn Riffelsee - Laps 1:40s

BRZ @ Matterhorn Rotenboden - Laps 1:50s

(Not much testing - 3 or 4 laps - but a new challenge)

 

[Adramike]

I'm down to race wherever tonight. I wouldn't mind the brz at grand valley

 

[GTP_Nail]

Hi gang..i am entoute back from picking up a new Subaru Forrester....handles better, brakes better, is faster, gets better mileage than outr 2007 Outback...and will hold two 100 pound pups.

I will therefore be late.

Champ please advise all that I STILL pissed about the quality of driving I saw at the Ring two weeks ago. Be nice guys..or be prepared to find something else to do Monday nights.
Anyone who causes another to go off course or makes significant contact will concede....to the back of the pack ....without being told to do so. This is fun...lets keep it that way.

See yall later.

 

[racingchamp30]

Will be opening up a room in a couple minutes

 

[racingchamp30]

Room is open.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

How about going back and doing some of the earlier races, but switching the cars around. I'm sure many weren't around for the entire series so it may be the first time for them.

 

[GTP_Nobby]

Thunder storm knocked out the power. I am out for now. Great track pick @TEX36 ! Thanks for hosting @racingchamp30 . Super great racing with you all!
👍

 

[racingchamp30]

This newest update knocked me off the lobby giving me the Disconnected from lobby server message, was able to finish with the BRZ, was a blast.

 

[racingchamp30]

Which tracks for tonight's pack racing, how about 80's monza with the Miata and Fuji Speedway F with the BRZ?
