This is going to be an insane race night tomorrow. The track and how people drive/attack it will prove very interesting. All I can say is expect the unexpected.

I have so many scribbles from different combinations and pit stops that I have become lost in my own notes. Great ending of the season.

Now If I can keep my power on thru race night I will be all set.

I've done more prep races for this week's main event than I care to acknowledge. I think I have a plan however only time will tell. Going to be fun seeing it play out.

 

[ONESPACE]

Apricot Hill reverse, is one of my favorite tracks in the game. And you guys got awesome times, 1:20s nice.

 

[GGGMotorsport]

Just to let you know that right after tonight's races, I will open the series to new drivers. As you can see in the OP, we already have 4 new drivers on the waiting list. If you know anyone who would be interested in joining, please let them know to sign up soon. With the new KOQ process, I will be able to increase the active driver limit (thinking around 30) but may not stay open for long. Once its closed, the next opening will be for season 3.

What an ugly night for me.

Two false start penalties. Missed post race once. Screwed up every pit stop, ran out of gas once, and just drove like $h1t.

Oh well, wait 'til next season !!!

PS: Vote Challenger SRT/8 !!!

We all have those nights. You hung in there though.

Votes only count via pm once I post that voting has opened on Friday

Yeah, just planting the seed that everyone should vote Challenger SRT/8.

Did I mention you all should vote Challenger SRT/8 when the time comes?

(Vote SRT/8 !!!)

 

[Wardenclyffe]

Great racing tonight and throughout the entire series. Thanks everyone for some insanely fun times!

Tonight's replays have been uploaded to the SNAIL Touring Car Series open drive.

 

[GGGMotorsport]

Congrats to @Parcells2 for being the highest finisher in points tonight (32 points) that is not in the top 10 in the RCS.
Well done to both of you!

Will have the full results posted Thursday​

I'm lost lol. Who's both of them?

Good racing all tonite! I knew it will be extremely tricky tonight and it was! I can't believe your strats @GGGMotorsport seriously very cool. I had no chance on keeping you behind in first race on the last lap. In 3rd race also, somehow got in front of me by jumping me on second pit. Congrats @tapout3013 for a good win in first race also and good strats throughout the races too. Also wanted to shout out @Wardenclyffe , hung in there strat wise in my 3rd race constantly Had to pass you like 2-3 times? On my last pits I came out with you in my blind spot thankfully it ghosted us and I let you go once I realized we were at the same spot on the track. GR all in the series! Pick wisely for the next season's car

 

[GGGMotorsport]

Parcells usually posts in the third person so we are pretty sure both of them are in the car each race.

@vovik05 - That was some serious fun tonight. Trying to race the track and seeing drivers in the pits at such different times really made it mentally challenging tonight more than any other race. Race 2 was pure luck on my part that we didnt do 18 laps as you would have had me. I also rolled the dice that we were only going to do 17 laps in the third race by short pitting while on race hards in the first stint.

All in all, great season and thanks to EVERYONE who came out to race these past 4 weeks. It was a pleasure to race each of you and I look forward to next season being even better.

Although Im sure we all know who took the championship, The official announcement will be posted Thursday.

I still don't get it

I must admit I screwed up my strat in 2nd race staying one lap too long on hards while you and tapout were behind me before last pitstop...
and in 3rd race...you didn't roll the dice at all. Stop it. It was a perfectly thoughtout strategy which was almost guaranteed based on the pace from race 2. Give yourself credit Grimm, that was awesome and you almost kept me behind as well! Great stuff!

 

[Parcells2]

Fantastic inaugural series Grimm and all participants! Lots of fun and great battles to be had. What a vicious track to end on…tyre wear wise, what a nasty trick to play on us.

Despite not liking the track Parcells was happy with his results last night with only a couple bad errors. Had a 5 second cutting track penalty early in race one sending me to the back of the pack; Still not sure how I screwed that turn up so bad…Parcells blames Cape on that one for the unnecessary pressure he was applying (j/k). But Parcells was very upset with himself when he took on 75 liters of fuel during the second stop of race 2…was 3-4 seconds ahead of my closest rival(OneSpace) in that race heading to the pits but he left before me. Newman!

Parcells has accepted a contract to race in the season 7 mid-engine Wednesday series so I will not be a regular for Tuesday’s season 2. But rest assured all my votes will be towards the RX-7; Don’t want to be responsible for forcing you guys to race a crappy Challenger. Enjoy and you’re welcome.

And please, DO let Parcells know if Vovik ever figures it out.

 

[SGETI]

Great battles all night long. Can't say I am sorry to see this car put on blocks in the garage. With that being said, Grimm you choose a great car which produced close racing all season, thank you.

 

[GGGMotorsport]

Great photos as always. Really captures the close racing we had last night. Many thanks for doing these.

 

[GGGMotorsport]

Confirmed. I told you that #2 spot was mine grim if even by a point.

Yes but you failed to keep it my friend

 

[Zii1993]

I know it. I had a rough night due to no practice and making a strategy on the fly lol probably not the smoothest move but season 2 will be much better I'll have a lot more time to practice and I'll get ahead of you at the end of one of these seasons grim.


EDIT: it doesn't help I had to bail for race 3 cause my wife was worried that our cat Nissan may have had to go to the ER vet cause he has issues going to the bathroom from time to time. And if he can't go his bladder will explode. So we keep a close eye on him.
We should have named him lucky cause he is the most expensive cat I have ever owned and I've had cats my whole life.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Your cat's name is Nissan. That is awesome. Expensive from vet bills or he's also a tough breed?
