Oh the race starts at the same time as F1 quali... My apologizes if I wreck anybody, I may not be 100% focused on the race. :D
Luckily for anyone in Australia this won't be an issue as they axed it from free-to-air TV :(. F1 disinterests me now, was exciting to see the new specs last year, I'm a fan but not of Mercedes winning every race lol.

Same as in many countries, including France. But sc:censored:w the FOM I don't pay a dime but still watch every GP and quali session. Even free practice when I have free time. :D

I could pay to watch F1 but in my country the channel holding the rights is 40€/43$/29£ per month to have the full package. No way man :lol:
I'll pay when I'll be 80 years old and have a Rolex.
 
Today for the Driver-In-Focus interview, we have, without a doubt, the most dominating driver on our grid, @mustafur.

1. What drew you to the ATCC?

Was keen to do some more league races with car tuning which I haven't done for a while as I have been in mostly racing fixed setup leagues.

2. Do you have any real-life racing experience? (I.e; karts, track-days)
I used to do Karting on a weekly basis for the last few years at my local track with Hire karts, I'm now getting back into it in preperation for GT Academy, apart from that I have done some one off Drives in a V8 Holden Monaro Race car at Eastern Creek in a ride day.

3. What's your biggest Gran Turismo Racing Achievement?
If time trials count I would say Qualifying for the Australian GT Academy Final last year.

Actual racing wise I would say any time I beat Warrior2167 in a race lol.

4. Which ATCC race are you most looking forward to?
Bathurst obviously.

5. Which ATCC race are you least looking forward to?
I don't really dislike any tracks really, I like the challenge each present.

6. How do you get prepared for a race, whether in the virtual world or real world?
If there is alot of pressure involved then I would watch a Comedy TV show to settle me down (Like Family Guy, Watch Russel Peters, Top Gear etc), otherwise I don't really have a preperation. As long as I feel calm I can perform good.

7. What's your favourite Racing Discipline? (I.e; Open-Wheel, Touring, Endurance)
To watch Open wheel, to race Touring Cars.

But I'm starting to get interested in WEC.

8. Who's your favourite racing driver of all-time?
I don't have a fixed favourite driver but I have many drivers I admire namely:

Daniel Ricciardo
Kamui Kobayashi
Micheal Schumacher

9. What would be the biggest racing event in the world, in your opinion?
Well I know Le Mans 24hr is the biggest single event, but the Bathurst 1000 is my favourite single event.

10. Finally, what are your aspirations for the ATCC?
To win the championship.

Great interview! There's no doubting what Mustafur wants to do in the ATCC, with a straightforward answer, now we wait to see if he can snatch the inaugural Driver's Championship for the ATCC in an absolutely dominant stint as a Wildcard.

(GTOR) ATCC Driver's Briefing | Round 8 | Suzuka Dash For Points

The Championship is drawing closer and closer to the final round of the normal season at the Mini-Enduro at Bathurst, a dress rehearsal of sorts for the Enduro Cup race. Round 8 is coming from the technical track layout of Suzuka. Wet weather could play a part in the later races. Will NW48 be able to continue form at a track he admits to struggle at? Or will Mustafur return to the series will another clean sweep. Come and race at what will be a critical race in the championship.

New Room Joining Method
This will only be in affect for the main game room, not the supports. We trialled this method a few rounds back and it worked with much success, so it shall return after a dismall run with the servers. You will only be permitted to join the room when I send you a message via PSN. You will need to join the room ASAP from the time I send you a message for this to work.

Pre-Q Reminder
Just a reminder that if you haven't completed a minimum of 1 Pre-Q session, you will be forced to start at the rear-of-field, not the rear of your Group, the rear of the entire field.
Group A & Group B Passing

- If a Group A car approaches a Group B car, it is the responsibility of the Group A car to pass safely, however, if it is safe to do so, the Group B car should yield off the racing line safely.

Pit Lane Entry/Exit Lines
We are at a track that has these lines, it is important to acknowledge these lines. Failure to do so will result in a 'Dangerous Driving' penalty.

Use of Text Chat
Use of Text Chat will be slightly restricted during the round. We ask that you do not spam the text box as it does result in some server instability. This is a precaution we are taking to ensure better server stability.

Recovery Time
There will be a maximum of 10mins recovery time (Disconnection/Rejoining waiting time) before a race, this time will begin once two or more people DC from the room. Once the time is up or all the problems are resolved, the race will start, no matter what.

Safety Car
The Safety Car will not be in use for the first two races, but if it is there, it will be used for the third race.

-
This will be a fantastic night of racing, and we can hopefully have a near full house to really shake up the championship even more to increase the highvlevel of competition we have already!

Hi @NW48, I'm not sure I'll be home when it starts, may not be able to join today.
All good, don't try rushing home if you can't afford to, it is just a game. :)👍

Just done my Pre-Q, I think I did well for #TeamNissanATCC. ;)
What time did you get? @Timlour and I had a good Team Session today and managed some insanely quick times. We merged our setups together to get it.

I'm not as fast as you guys, there are too many straights ;), but taking things to advantage like fresh new car, setup reset and done again, practice etc. I came out with a 2:01.3xx. 👍
 
The best time I got during practice was a 2:00.012. I think I could have got a 1:59, but it was late at night when I did my session and I was tired.

You GT-R boys have been a bit slack on the straights lately. But then again, we (RRR) put a lot of time into Transmissions. A 2.01.0xx was average but we ran at or around the 2.00.0xx / 2.00.2 area.

I think I could have got a 1:59, but it was late at night when I did my session and I was tired.
We'll get into the 1.59's and begin to celebrate then @mustafur will rock up and get a 1.57. :lol:

It's still night time go to sleep, you're not setting a faster time... :D
I... concur. :sly:
