All Japan Club - Closed

[Cu3e]

Hi @Cu3e, I doubt that i can make it tonight, really busy week and still have lots of things on so i'll send my apologies now.

If I do get a chance, I know where to come 👍

Have a good one, Laters

Hope you make it hobbsy but if not catch you another time 👍

It seems, that (probably) I won't be able to participate tonight :/ I'm sick and I'm not feeling good... Hope, you'll have a great race!

Hope to catch you next time or some other event


edit:

So it seems it is just 4 of us. So this will be more open practice type of event tonight 👍

Let me know if you want to postpone.

 

[KingKlingeling]

I would still join , even if we're just doing a practise session.

 

[BrandonW77]

To me, it sounds like a testing session is in order so we can feel some things out. I should be home around 5:30 Brandon Daylight Time, if a room is up I'll join. 👍

 

[amarynceos]

I forgot we're having an electrician do some work today. I should be able to join the session, but I might be late. -_-

 

[Cu3e]

No problem @amarynceos 👍

It is going to be a small crowd tonight, we might shorten the races and try different cars if people so choose. Join when you can

Updated the spreadsheet. Going to be 15min / 30 min so at least S2K does not need any additional fuel.

 

[Cu3e]

Seems I messed up the counter again. I hate am and pm around midnight...

Correct countdown (about 3 hours from now)

Server going to be up at least 30 before the start

 

[Cu3e]

Room is up for some testing. 2 hours to event but some of us Europeans start early

 

[BrandonW77]

Hopefully, I should be there in about an hour or so.

 

[Jonnaidoo]

Internet issues guys, trying my best to get there.

 

[Cu3e]

Try clearing cache from gt settings

 

[Cu3e]

2035km on my S2k: "Body rigidity is starting to deteriorate". Restored.

So how did people feel? For the cars that CM actually is usable, is it better or worse? I ask because I am thinking of trimming down the list and might trim to cars that can handle CM if people like it...

Personally, I don't mind either way. CM gets more randomness and more mistakes that equals to more fun race in my opinion.

As a side note CS worked nicely for Jonnaidoo. Nice racing for first online visit!

I second that , had a lot of fun yesterday 👍
as long as PP stay in the region we're having it now , it's fine

 

[Jonnaidoo]

Thanks Cu3e, was great fun. I will try to pack in some practise with CM tyres for next week's race. I assume this will happen next friday also?

Sure! Maybe try another track. Someone mentioned a GT Original track that is supposedly in Japan

 

[BrandonW77]

Grand Valley and Cape Ring are both supposedly in Japan. Trial Mountain could pass as a Japanese track, as could Apricot Hill.

 

[Cu3e]

I rather enjoy Cape Ring South. Testing the tracks next week. Busy weekend

 

[BrandonW77]

The North or South version I like, can't remember which (I think it's North) but the other versions I'm not terribly fond of. Don't like the loop and jump. You can see Mt. Fuji in the distance though so it's definitely in Japan.

 

[Cu3e]

I think we are talking abot the some track. Small esses type turns and one huge fast half circle..? I think it is South.

 

[BrandonW77]

Sounds like it. Double-apex hairpin to the left at the end onto a long straight.

 

[Cu3e]

That straight I am bit worried about for BRZ.

Lets try out my theory for flipping the table. For second race next friday guys who usually drive BRZ take S2K with CM and who usually drive S2K take BRZ with CS.

I had pretty fun duel with @KingKlingeling him in BRZ CM, me BRZ CS. With faster car for King it might have beem pretty even.

 

[Cu3e]

Sorry for the delay. Here are the results for the last event:
Suzuka Circuit East

Race 1:
1. KingKlingeling BRZ / CM
2. BrandonW77 RX-8 / CM
3. jonnaido S2000 / CS
4. bergele S2000 / CM
5. amarynceos BRZ / CM


Race 2:
1. BrandonW77 RX-8 / CS
2. KingKlingeling BRZ / CS
3. amarynceos BRZ / CS
4. jonnaido S2000 / SH
5. bergele S2000 / CS

I am not good at taking pictures but here is one of @amarynceos touching grass and spinning in race one.

 

[Cu3e]

Did a few offline laps at Cape Ring South with different cars / tyres:
BRZ / CS : 1:34.475
S2K / CM : 1:34.920
BRZ / CM : 1:36.934

I am sure @KingKlingeling and @amarynceos can take a second or two from each time

 

[amarynceos]

@Cu3e , great shot of a not-so-great moment! 👍

 

[AboveMeIsCool]

Sign me up for Friday

I like the Prelude photograph 👍

 

[Cu3e]

Just a reminder. We will be at Cape Ring South with 3 cars: BRZ, S2000 and RX-8. Driving with CM tires.

Maybe testing turning tables but want to test that at least once before. Testing up tonight! Around 9pm BST.

 

[Cu3e]

Quiet week... Might turn out to be another official practice session? Server will be up at least 30 min before scheduled time. I might make it public to maybe attract few random clean racers.

 

[hobbsy]

I will be around tonight for some racing... not done any testing this week though!

But it all adds to the fun

I am sure you will do just fine 👍

I have done some online test laps. My online lap times are almost exactly same as the offline tests I did last sunday.

 

[BrandonW77]

I won't be able to make it tonight, I'm going down to The Speedway to watch the Indy Lights race and to watch these crazy bastards.

 

[Cu3e]

OMG!
