Thought Tom was with dan??
 
+ I know you guys probably have reasons but I honestly like Tskuba will be a horrible circuit to race a series like this on.. Would have thought cape ring would have been amazing in this series

Has this "bombshell" been announced yet?

The small bombshell was the return controversial return of MrMulsanne aka Furi, Tsubuka we agree is a risk but was incident free in season 1 no reason why S2 cant be the same.:nervous:
 
It's nothing to do with incidents but it's too small, track is too thin and going 60+ laps around that would bore me to tears as there is realistically only one place you can pass if you have a defensive driver in front of you

Arnt some F1 tracks like that tight with few passing places the FIA dont scrap these tracks do they??? Grab pole and race to the flag if you can hold it together aswell as steal pole then for me you deserve the win sorry guys Tsubuka stays.
Did you get my pm R35 regarding stewards findings???

Pit stop tactics may prove key i would be disappointed to lose Tsubuka its the only small tight track on the schedule after all.:indiff:
 
I hate Tsukuba mainly cause I got a pole and two wins there last season(Perfect night) only to find out it didn't count for anything.:irked:

Now now let it go i lost my second from what i remember the situation was unfortunate but fair:ouch: Moving on Daytona RC struggling to get to grips with the 1st half of the track those first few corners are killers if you dont get them right:yuck: More chicane chop watching stewards im afraid:grumpy: My pace was low/mid 146's for the record room for improvment.:indiff:

Tsukuba is my favourite track (Aside from Spa) on GT5, hoping for a strong result. 👍

I have found some progress with suspension tuning lately, I have got to understand it more now - I took 10 seconds out my Le Mans best time in a ORECA 908 (3:27 now). And remember the Lotus is only 1144kg, very light, so with tuning will be flying around the middle sector...

A strong positive performance will be good to see from the MRT Lotus.:)

My HSR set up is very fast at tracks like Monza and Tokyo I think, and Daytona will just require tightening the car up for the corners.

Starting slowly though, a points finish is my aim for this next meeting.

Good to hear Furi.👍:)
 
Pm'd everyone in the field regarding time slot change nobody has reported back with any problems, so from Daytona onwards if gedi agrees i will try to get the lounge open around 6.45pm GMT with qualifying starting at 7pm and race 1 will commence at 7.30pm GMT.👍
Race 2 will get going around 5 minutes after race 1 so puff quick:sly: Will check and double check everyone is present and ready then hit the go button!!!:)

Interestingly (maybe lol), I've gone the opposite way and piled some weight onto my SLS

Up from 1325kg to 1420kg, much nearer the weight of my S1 winning Camaro

That's allowed me to get the power up from 492bhp to 511bhp, and I feel more comfortable
in the Merc now

I need a good showing at Daytona Road :nervous:
 
I feel Daytona is going to be an Audi track again, for what I've experienced, it really doesn't show love to oversteering cars :sly:
