AWD 600PP London - xx:00 / :20 / :40 / - Race of the Red Emblem

[Christhedude]

Its pointless having a one make event if people are just going to turn up in whatever car they want thats what the 00 15 30 45 schedule is for

no its not pointless!

Last night i really wanted to give the 05 STi and 04 Evo a go at :00 - :15 - :30 - :45 and no matter what i still ended up in the Nissan Grid. So did my buddy aswell

Again wanna apologize for any trouble cause through my sudden appearance in several races

+1

I don't think it should be made an issue either!
Goal 1 is clean racing, then comes goal 2 all with the same cars.

Funny stuff happens, Chris and Oldnail explained 👍 Happened to me too before, I assume to most from time to time....

My thoughts:
I'm mainly favouring the one-make story for 2 reasons:

1.) guarantees closer racing, ability (driving and a bit tuning) counts!

2.) Chances stand very high that if I see a Skyline in my mirror I can relax and do my braking / turn-in / driving in as I do WITHOUT getting tailgated. If I see an EVO or Subi I tend to brake late, drive funny lines etc, just to avoid being hit. Example yesterday: Racing with Chris is awesome, but if he's riding a Subi or Evo I have to rearview to first literally READ "GTP_Chris" in order to "relax" thinking "good, not a punter".

Anybody get what I mean with point 2?

PS: I wonder why the participants grouping is so difficult this time around, was fine the first time. Maybe the event is too little visited indeed

 

[crazytortise]

When does the racing start?

 

[Ren]

For me a bit later than usual... moving during the week, so at the mom. still a bit busy. Maybe eightish...

 

[Crispy74]

Chris I have already sympathised with your position which is why I suggested opening up this schedule to any car 👍

What I dont understand is people saying they dont know what the problem is when this is supposed to be a one make event to enable fair and close racing.

If GTPers are turning up in other possibly faster cars then its fairly obvious the guys in the R34s are going to be unhappy due to the unfair advantage.

If people want to open up this schedule to any car then fair enough but lets have the thread changed officially so we all know where we stand 👍

Quite right as such, but if an event like this baeautiful one is opened for all cars then we don't even need a thread anymore!? I think we would loose out on something very fine!

As we are at it: I really enjoyed yesterday evenings racing! Big thanks to all of the usual crowd VR6, Crispy (and yeah, enjoyed that 1 on 1 very much too 👍), Tortise, DarkNeo, Calcifer and prob. one or two other clean racers I can't recall for a couple of real Thrillers! And: we had several grids with like 9 out of 10 Skylines 👍👍👍.

I had to bail out a bit early yesterday ... hated that because it was almost too much fun to quitt!!! Hope it stayed as good for those who continued ripping up Fuji! Seeyall tonight!

 

[GTP_VR6_CLUB]

It sure was real fun yesterday
I wasn't under my usual name but most of u guys know me when i drive under another name
I still have the same lines and braking moments as usual
Crispy allways reqognizes me wherever i drive and whatever name i use

A nd it was real fun with Ren Crazy Crispy Neo and all the others

👍

[Blitz187]

To bad there was no one racing yesterday... When I started I saw Crazy... but he got D/Ced I think... I saw you behind me and then just crash into the barrier... the rest of us kept racing... after that I was on schedule with a bunch of Sutil and Gtro drivers... Had some good races and ran into an old buddy Sutil_MadMax... Thanks for the races guys! 👍 Anyone up for this tonight with the R34?

Looking forward to seeing the second race 👍 A couple of those GTros guys kept diving down the inside of me in some stupid places. I recieved a cheap 5 second penalty after the white sti tried to dive down the inside of me going into the chicane on the first lap. That petty much ruined my shot of catching up to the leaders unfortunately

 

[nissman]

Thanks guys, I hope it heals up soon.
Meanwhile I wish you some great racing 👍

Yeah, they can be aggressive at times... but they behaved good yesterday when I was racing
