90s LeMans W.C./ Season 1 complete!

[Shinshiki]

I had pole at Motegi.

 

[freshseth83]

I think I did, we started in the right order and in my replay I lead the field. If you remember that you had pole why didn't you start up front? We can get to the bottom of it, I didn't add it to the points total yet for reasons like this.

I think I did, we started in the right order and in my replay I lead the field.

I got disconnected the first time we started. I entered the room and we started again with you in first, Sin in second, and me in third. Right before I disconnected I had spun and lost my position, so when we restarted, I started 3rd.

Hello Freshseth!

I'm interested in Driving the Corvette C5-R. I see there's a spot left on the list, but could be out-dated. Can I join for a late season?

 

[freshseth83]

Sure you can join, there's definitely a need for GTS cars!

 

[A_Higher_Place]

I'll be ready for next monday! Can you send me a friend request via PSN?

Thanks for letting me join!

 

[freshseth83]

I'll 'request' you tomorrow. I need you to sign up with all the details on page one so I can add you to the list.

 

[Kakarot]

Whats the prime and option for fuji going to be?

 

[freshseth83]

Prime is Softs, options are Mediums like last race at Motegi.

 

[Shinshiki]

Are we getting points for Motegi?

 

[freshseth83]

Yes, I just updated them actually!

 

[A_Higher_Place]

I'm eastern Time zone and driving the C5-R.
What else ya need?

 

[freshseth83]

Were good, that's enough information! See ya on Monday evening!

 

[A_Higher_Place]

👍


EDIT: Whats this about tire compounds? I'm not used to this set up, sounds neat though!

I can run softs at start and after 1st pit, but not second pit?
Little confused.

My friend TJ would like to join the rest of the season to get used to us.
GTP htownhick22/PSN htownhick21/TJ /GT2/Dodge Viper #51/EST

 

[freshseth83]

Will he be able to race with us tonight? I hope so, I'll sign him up. Tell him to run the #91 Viper because that's the car that'll be used next year.

 

[Shinshiki]

So it looks like there will be a decent turn out for both classes tonight.

 

[freshseth83]

I'M HOPING! There should be at least 4 or 5 of us in GT1, and 4 in GTS.

Just make sure you do 12 laps at least on Mediums and that each stint on mediums is at least 5 laps long.

 

[freshseth83]

You can run either mediums or softs for these races. You qualify on the tire you start the race with. At THIS race (Fuji) you'll be required to use mediums for a total of at least 12 laps. And each stint on those tires MUST be at least 5 laps. There's no reason to go more than 12 laps if you don't want to, unless that's in the rules, but not tonight's race.

 

[freshseth83]

Room is now OPEN- 1472-6119-4216-8214-2263

 

[K1L1A1U1S]

Could I possibly join with my corvette zr1 rm in the race right now?

 

[K1L1A1U1S]

I can start in the back

 

[freshseth83]

You can join in, but not with that car!

 

[K1L1A1U1S]

Ok I don't have any of those cars so can't tonight. Thanks anyway!

 

[A_Higher_Place]

Well guys, that could've gone a lot smoother. But, really, it's no ones' fault. The game isn't good at remembering times for qualifying.

As for KRD, his ignorance isn't on my good side right now. Due to his horrible driving i'm also inclined to believe his car was also above the regs for the viper. He was flying, while myself and i think htown were dead even.

I'm not sure if it was his corner cutting or more power in the viper, but he was tooo fast.


Anyways, I look forward to next week's round! Hopefully my car can turn this time around

 

[Shinshiki]

I just want to say thank you to KRD for causing incidents in the first race and diminishing the overall lead I had built up. I probably would have won the race had we not had to restart it.

 

[freshseth83]

That was definitely a screwed up race. KRD isn't welcome to participate any longer here. Nor in GT-OPEN. The reason he was fast could be because he was using the #91 Viper and not the #51. The 91 will be allowed next season, but not this season.

We had a good turn out today even though there were people who didn't show up. As for the guy who won, I'm excluding his results because he went out and changed his settings after the race before I could check to see if he was running legally. Also, in GTS class Peppe will be excluded because he ran HARD tires, they aren't allowed in this series. So shin you do end up with the win. Sin 2nd, and I 3rd. I hope the last two rounds in Japan can bring in a good # of people like this race. And hopefully we can carry that momentum over to season two. Official results will be up later.
