I have access to the spreadsheet from my former score keeping duties.

That mutiny didn't get too far with only two other supporters.

It looked like at least four voted for 1. Evidently I'm mistaken...poopypants.

Suzuka D2 and a flying bear at Daytona!

Nice and tidy start...not for long. The technical Suzuka will claim 4 victims in Lap 1

First victim exiting last slalom onto short sweeping left

#2 just ahead on opposite side of track from 1

3rd victim @ Hairpin

#3 revealed

4th and final first-lap victim just before the long, high-speed, sweeping left

Now for some good 2-by-2 @ Hairpin

Hairpin exit

And finally overtaken...

Had to show you what a flying bear looks like.

Sounds far too anti–Spec for me. The polar opposite of close even racing.

Typo? What does "anti–" mean?

 

[DJones]

Wait...

Bowler, chooser of the Zonda, a handful of a vehicle that did not result in many close races, lobbies to get the only car that produced close racing, kicked? Was it close racing and cars in traffic that so many in D1 and D2 disliked?

This should be 'fun' I guess. :grouchy:

No, he just thinks the Clio is getting old. I think the Clio at grand vally was getting old.

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

Not you. I'm taking about the racing format.

 

[dabneyd]

Apology accepted.

And you wonder why people reacted negatively to your complaints?

 

[IceWarden]

Not you. I'm taking about the racing format.

I know but I literally don't know what it means

Same here.

But getting old & competitive > flashy, new, and non-competitive, at least for me.

Zonda, race 1... 4 cars off before the Esses...8 offs in lap 1; 7 more offs in lap #2... And so on.

 

[Handlebar]

Apology accepted.

Sheesh.

It may work out that way but I think there will be fun and challenging battles in each race. But it will be very anti-S.N.A.I.L. in some aspects. Lets just make sure it is clean like S.N.A.I.L. 👍

 

[Luv2Coach]

Had fun last night!! Last week, unfortunately, my nerves got the best of me as it was my first week in D2; it was a disaster. I didn't think I would get out of the hospital in time for last night due to all the bullet holes, lol. My apologies for last week fellas. Great racin' last night!

Great racing last night in D3. Had a blast. The Zonda is craaaazy. One slip and your gone.

So asking a question is now a complaint. Ok...got it.

No, being a ......... May bring some rancorous responses.

You are free to act like a tool or whatever, but playing the wounded innocent is disingenuous at best.

Got it?

Fixed and sorry about that, not sure how I messed that up. Moved you to the New S.N.A.I.L. section awaiting your time trial.

skills, thanks for posting the Time Trial info 👍

Zonda, race 1... 4 cars off before the Esses...8 offs in lap 1; 7 more offs in lap #2... And so on.

I don't view the Clio as old and competitive. I see it as a parade that I've been watching for too long. If there were that many offs in the Zonda, you all need to slow down and drive within your abilities. I will give a pass for any that were due to power oversteer as 3rd and 4th gear could get a little tricky. If guys were putting two tires on the grass and losing control because of that, I have a simple solution, stay off the grass and use the pavement, it has more grip.

My actual thinking in voting for the Clio is that I'm tired of it and I thought most would vote for the FGT and I wanted the Clio to get the second most votes. It sounds like that may have not worked out the way I wanted it too.

I thought I got away with that without anyone noticing the flying part. Dang lol

If you wait ten seconds after that moment (I think) you'll see a break dancing bear... The fgt didn't like hitting the skirt at an angle. Things got..... bouncy.

Great pics Coach, especially the Zondas side by side

I felt there was a good bit of lift off oversteer as well. Helped through the esses.

If you're free tonight, please come check out our shiny new Performance Cap Racing event. I like to think of it as a cross between being a race car driver and being the GM of a sports team. Pick your team, fill your roster, and plan your winning strategy. Don't miss tonight's first event so that you help provide feedback on how to improve the idea going forward. 👍

(More importantly, I need someone to take my spot because I won't be able to race tonight and I don't want joby to be mad at me.. )

Does that mean the rest of us can bag you the whole night for ditching us?

Lol. I wanted to get in some positive racing with all the kitty litter shots. I really like the Zonda. As with all overpowered cars, throttle control is huge. The good thing tho, is the downforce. Keeps it grounded after 3rd gear. The FGT is just too fast. However I like the no margin for error with these cars. A tire off track, and it's over (most times). .

When Bowler starts his Utopian race league I'll definitely join. Everyone drives smartly, just below their limits and respects their fellow man. I'm in!

 

[Luv2Coach]

I think the Zonda at Fuji F would be a blast. Or even Motegi. Any long course with room.
