Lol wish you asked me earlier rusty, jol asked me last night for one, and I will spend my one-car-a-day send on a duplicated car for him, then im heading off for the weekend and will be back for sunday nights race, so maybe ask one of the other boys to dupe you one?

Sorry champ :(
 
i can sort you one Rusty...will send this evening.

Hope to catch you online later night for some testing too
 
Thanks velly, Guys just want to put final regs on the 2 cars for sunday.

The sprinter will be set to 440pp, without the turbo or supercharger, that is the only restriction. (I sort of count the rear wing as a restriction but if you feel the need... go for it)

The 86 GT will be set to 510pp now, It should reach around 519 or something, but the limit will be 510 to encourge some aero testing! I will be away from now til sunday arvo, so any questions or problems im sure spin can help you out and any changes that need to be made, I'm sure he can sort it out quick smart. If he is busy, go ahead and ask Mrtai....nervermind, if he cant sort it out then we are all screwed.


Edit: Forgot to mention, please can you all tell any drivers you see that might race to make sure they don't rock up in the initial D sprinter... :D thanks

Just wondering , kinda aimed at Velly , but everyone else too .... Can everyone make it for a 7.30pm qual / 8pm race start ? (Sydney time). Otherwise we need to push the start time back.

Jury is still out on how we divide the night up between the cars but I think it would be better to do one short / one long race. Otherwise tyre strategy becomes pretty basic and it would eliminate any variation between drivers which would be a bit dull. We'd all end up running each compound once. Personally I think a 30 minute race in the Apex 83 with no tyre rules followed by a 90 minute main event in the '12 86 with the usual rules would work best.

Anyway .... test away guys , see you tomorrow sometime.

Cheers
 
Premium: Toyota 86 GT '12. All mods allowed , restricted to 510pp :Tokyo R246 Reverse:

Standard: Sprinter Trueno GT-Apex '83. (NOT the Shigeno '00 version) All mods allowed EXCEPT NO turbo or supercharger Restricted to 440pp :Tokyo R246:

Both cars will be on race slicks , all compounds must be used during the race*. You must start the race on your chosen qualifying compund. No minimum of laps required on any compound. Qual on hards , do one lap and come into pit start of lap 2 if you want.
You cant pit last lap , switch to hards and cross the finish line in pit lane though , so I guess there is a minimum of 1 lap reqd on each compound :)

*Depending on what format race 1 takes as mentioned in earlier post.....:D

I will do my best to make the 8pm start but can't promise.will deform make the second race. My sin has need a pain going to be this last week. Fingers crossed he will be ok tonight!
 
We will be running with the race regs as posted by spinner, there will be a 30(ish) min race for the sprinter and a 90(ish)min race for the GT 86.

sorry for late confirmation
 
Thanks velly, everyone the room is open and ok for testing, til 7.30 qual start for the sprinter
if you cannot make the first race, the GT86 race will start around 8.30/9

Hope to see you all soon
 
Here is a message from Daphnedog...

If anyone cannot make it tonight - you can watch it on the OzCoMoBros Livestream Broadcast.
Unfortunately it will only be the view from my car...

Link via OzCoMoBros website:
https://sites.google.com/site/ozcomobroracing/live-broadcasting

Direct link (I think):
http://livestre.am/1e4lz

Unfortunately, you can't embed Livestream in forums yet...

Hopefully you can get these streams up for the ORS, better viewing than what is on TV at the moment, haha.

Any chance of better quality?

I felt sorry for daphnedog at the start, he got hit by several drivers.

Thanks everyone for coming tonight. Race 1 was fun no matter where you placed I reckon :) Race 2 required a lot of commitment and focus with this car and track combo. I got into the groove after 20 laps and had a reasonable run from there on but ... too little too late.

Thanks to the Oz guys that came along too , the more the merrier ! (On that note , Velly: Not sure what happened at turn 1 , race 1. I hope I didn't cause that crash. I went in a bit hot and while I was in slight panic mode about actually making the corner hard on the brakes and a bit untidy , you sailed past me ! You must have gotten a truckload of draught from me near the end of the straight ?)

Also apologies for the opening lap of race 2. Mental note: Track gets a lot narrower there..... prepare to merge ! I think you all got past me somehow unscathed ? I hope so.

Thanks all :)
 
Thanks all for letting us Ozcomobro guys join your races. Its really good to be able to race clean Aussie racers of your guys standards.

I will continue my best to try practise and to improve my driving and be sure not to hold up any guys along the way. Hope to race you all again on a regular basis!

PS. Had to laugh at Velly running out of fuel and Rota's failed pit entry :ouch:

Yes, Rob (aka Daphne) can get better quaility on the streaming, this was just a test.
I had it running on my phone for the last 3 laps (after i ran out of fuel lol) then for the rest of the night as we carried on testing for our season.
Was good as I could watch his tyres go off lol

No problem Spinner, i am not sure what happened, I went deep and you went tight, I thought there was enough room around the outside but I think I turned into you. Messed up our final lap on those tyres and got MrT back in the game lol

cheers again for a great night

I am putting my hand up...I started it.
I went down the inside of Daphne and side swiped him pushing him into the wall. Knowing it was a fast section I did slow down as it cause more problems....so I just ran away as fast as I could ;)

I do enjoy these opening laps, great being so close with LOTS of are around.
 
Hey everyone, sorry for late post but as spin said thanks all for coming, its great that each race we are starting to fill the grid with more and more drivers, the first few races were a tad boring with only 7 or 8 on the starting grid but now I find myself enjoying each race with the numbers we have :)

The next race is a month away, but I am keen to get on top of it earlier this time as I know we left it a bit late for the race that just passed. The next race will be in a race spec car. We have some thoughts already but I need to get some answers out of you guys before we start testing.

Firstly, Is there anyone that does not have a Ferrari F1 car? for the moment any will do. If you don't have one, do you have the cash to get one?

Secondly, would people be keen on a nascar race? either a long race at a normal circuit, or a split race like the 86 night with 1 race around an oval, and the other around indy road or something similar? Let us know your thoughts :)

If those 2 themes above really don't interest many people I was thinking the LMP cars around la sarthe.
 
Yes to a F1 (what about running your Formula Ford sepc?) I have the Lv24 ticket if anyone needs to get a F1 car.

NASCAR sounds fun (we are running them this Tuesday for our mid season bonus break)
 
For those interested, I have uploaded some footage from Sunday night.
Apologies for some of the picture quality, but the Tokyo track is bad for shaddows.

...some funny scenes, such as Velly running out of fuel. And GT would have got a race ban in our league with those pit entrance antics !!!
:)

lol @ Rusty doing a U Turn, yes that is a no no in our books ;)

Thanks for the video Rob, good effort.


Spinner, in race 1, our coming together was due to you bouncing off the inside barrier on turn one.

Really ? Wow I must have got out of shape , should have saved that replay to see where it went wrong...


Thanks for the vid.

Hahaha, rustbucket that is pretty bad. shouldn't have just pulled out into the racing line like that, should have continued driving, if you were that keen to pit that lap, should have at least pulled the the side yout he hit the wall, wait for the track to be clear then reversed up, not chuck a U turn on the main straight with everyone racing behind you hahaha

Thanks for the invite mate but I know that car will make a fool of me , especially on sports tyres. Hope it goes well for you guys though :)

Yeah sorry guys, was my fault...I lost my focus after race 1 and my eyes where stinging...could have pulled the car over and had a camp on the side of the track.:D Race 1 was doable but race 2 was asking to much after a big day.
