Sorry going to be 30 mins late so I should be on around 8:00pm eastern
 
The new guy doesn't want to be a burden because I don't practice enough to know how to plan a pit strategy :)
 
Parcells conducted a practice race yesterday and here's what we've learned...

  1. The races will last 40 minutes.
  2. First race will be 48 laps, second race 47 laps.
  3. You can complete this race with one pit stop. Doubtful that will be everyone's strategy.
  4. Fuel is not much of a problem. 20-30 liters should be more than enough.
  5. Green cars will be the prettiest on the track.
 
Since being involved with Grim's Series I have been busy putting together Seasonal Promo's and Highlight reels. He didn't really have a just a normal series promo touting what he has put together for people to join and enjoy. Well he has one now.
GrimGrnninGhost 3G's Motorsports hosts a SNAIL GT6 racing series on Wed.Nite for some excellent close competitive racing using only purpose built race cars in the game. Race Seasons are short, fast and sweet! Check it out!

Crazy awesome @brntguy wish I could double no triple like it. Way to go man. :bowdown::cheers:
 
Well, after a long 24 hour race, Misfits Motorsports comes away with a strong showing but disappointing results. Posting a 4th in class and 10th overall, team manager Fallen_log said "We started strong but late race mistakes cost us the podium." With this result Misfits Motorsports hope to continue strong runs in 2015.

I am unsure if I'll be able to race tomorrow night; I'm testing my ability to sit upright for a two-hour stretch today and if that doesn't work out I'm going to then test my ability to race using the controller. Regardless of the outcome I will post my status before tomorrow's deadline.

Dont try to overdue it. remember, its two 40 min race so perhaps you can sit upright for one of the races and then try the controller. just take your time. the series will still be here

Do you mind me asking what happened?
 
I'll try to be there. I've been playing through Batman: Arkham Asylum again because it's free this month on PS+. I'm gonna play through that, Arkham City and Arkham Origins all before Arkham Knight comes out. Love me some Batman.

When will you be doing more testing and what are your choices for Lexus?
 
Hello ladies and gentlemen, I just opened up a lobby for some practice miles. I want to break in the car all the way so the course is set to Sierra at the moment. Anyone interested in some practice laps to break down the oil join my lobby, it will be open all night. 1472 4711 0167 3385 0587. See ya tomorrow!


EDIT LOBBY CLOSED

Rest assured I am approaching my recovery the right way, and this could be completely in line with where I am now. Yesterday worked out well so today I will add driving into the mix and see what that does. I am optimistic . . .
Do you mind me asking what happened?
Two weeks ago I had two surgeries to permanently fuse my lower back (S1 to L3). This will fix the mechanics of my lower back but may not address the omnipresent pain (I've been in pain for twelve years straight now). I am forced into this because of old injuries; I ruptured the disc at L3/L4 while training for a triathlon when I was 21, though I very, very strongly suspect the true cause was a car wreck 18 months earlier that almost sent me through the windshield and the disc only expressed this defect after repeated long-distance training sessions.

Between 2000 to 2003 I had two laminectomies which brought me to where I was prior to the surgery - no disc left period between S1/L5, almost no disc at L5/L4, and a severely damaged disc at L4/L3. Each laminectomy permanently damages the shock absorber capabilities which then causes the vertebrae to grind against each other, making the vertebrae lose mass (my L5 is about 2/3 the size it should be and was cocked at an odd angle). If I did not do this fusion it was almost guaranteed I'd end up paralyzed or effectively paralyzed, unable to use my legs. Having the mechanics fixed will also greatly increase the chance that non-invasive procedures (epidurals, physical therapy, etc.) will work on the pain.

I'm now on medical leave for 3-4 months from work while my vertebrae grow together, over the plastic spacers that replaced my discs and around the titanium screws and rods that now frame S1 to L3 (they use titanium because in addition to being super light and super strong bone will grow around/through it).
Read The Art Of Racing In The Rain.
What is this? Color me intrigued . . .

Cars do not need a break-in period in GT6 like they did in 5.
 
... hope to get some good results from them tomorrow.
Tell me about it. If the clowns in this series do the right thing and pull over when the number 11 car is directly behind we might be able to pull off a respectable result.
