@JoeyFast22 your new avatar is positively delightful.
They said some of our times after the run however the times on the show don't match what I remember but I guess that's the magic of tv for you or I have bad memory. LOL. Was a good episode though. Looking forward to next week.
Agreed! sounded like the nannies were on at Montecello. That had to be the most frustrating part of my time at silverstone So did you guys know your times while the driving was going on or are you just seeing them now? Really looking forward to the rest of it:tup:
Against my better wisdom, gonna raise my hand here.Man who was that guy that drove the 370z like a grandpa? Not even shifting the gears? Makes me kind of disappointed to see someone like that...terrific in a game but can't drive to save his life.
It's awesome that they threw that in though. The more driving they do the better.
Against my better wisdom, gonna raise my hand here.
yes, every aid in the book was turned on @ Montecello. Hence the car falling on its face everytime someone launches. We were turning everything off at Silverstone. 👍
For the rest, this was the first time I saw a clock.
Some of the times were overheard on radio communications, IIRC Joey was the fastest with the 36, there were some other high 30's (pretty sure Brian had one) and most of what I heard were low 40's. Mine was a 1:46.x on the radio but I killed a cone for +2s to get the 1:48 they had on screen. So the timing doesn't seem suspect to me.
I remembered having a 37 and joey said he had a 37 also as far as I remembered. Doesn't matter just thought I remembered different. Not saying it was suspect just different than I remembered. Still was a good episode. Was wondering how they were going to talk about Armin not getting to go. Makes sense how they did the intro when we got out of the Jukes now. BTW I'm in Buffalo for a week or so. Are there any good karting places here? I have 4 days off with nothing to do so any suggestions would be great.

Do you play with a wheel or no? And do you only play Automatic?Against my better wisdom, gonna raise my hand here.
I had the money set aside to buy a cheap manual and do a few track days. However, the US Finals had always been 100% virtual so the intent was to take care of that after. Between most of us, getting bused end out of NYC for a track day was a major curve ball. There were at least three others in the same situation but I was clearly the most entertaining.
And yes, it did feel absolutely slow. I would've been faster with my Subaru.
I'll admit I still don't have any experience with actually driving a manual, but I understand how and would probably adjust pretty well once I got the chance to drive with one. I help myself by using my car's triptronic/manumatic, so adding a clutch to the equation wouldn't be a huge deal since I'm already gooding with my timing when shifting gears.

And man, I'll give you some sympathy for being brave enough to admit that was you, but I have to critique you and tell you don't be that guy. Don't be the guy who comes in under prepared and not really suitable for real racing. Think about the guys who were maybe on the bubble being just one place too low to place in the national qualifyer or something. Maybe they were only a few hundredths slower, but what if they could shift?

Helps too do drive manual in GT. Be crazy not too.
Maybe now i can share our lap times in the go karts.
This were the times from that week:
