You don't have to thank me

Huh? Thank you for what? nah seriously, we'd still be in the stone ages if it werent for your initiative...

Yeah its pretty good on the brakes but you cant outbrake by 10-20m to gain positions back only SC61JGW does that and he does so with pride.

EDIT: woops my bad, I pressed quote instead of edit.

Lol

I've made further observations, The beemers get a good start, quickest 0-40 times when compared with FF's which is weird because the engines are on the drive wheels so there should be better traction. But with that being said the FF's pull away when speeds reach 40 and above. The superior power/mass ratio kicks in. Also for beemers overtaking FF's, the draft kicks in at 135mph. Which means that the two cars reach 135 mph at the same time but when passing 135 the beemers rate of acceleration is higher than the FF's which further means that audi can still win monza providing they stay in the draft and ace the 3 chicanes, parabolica. All in all I think all cars are finally level this year. You just have to choose what tickles your fancy.

FF:
Pro, quick acceleration/ higher top speed difficult to overtake especially in GVS with the long straight.

Con, not the most agile of cars.

Beemer:
Pro, Quick direction changes with minimal understeer.

Con, Pretty unstable rear (ass hanger), not the greatest of top speeds

Audi:
Pro, Superb handling abilities, shotgun starts,
Con, most vulnerable in overtaking zones.

Now it just depends on your driving styles. My driving style suits a pointy front end with a fairly loose rear. For me beemer trumps all, theres just something I cant quite put my finger on with regards to the audi. Beemer is just a mad car which will bite your hand off if you put your hands in the wrong place and dont treat her well. Which is why I like her...

Great post! 👍

And I like her for the same reasons

👍 lol. There hasn't been a new update lately so I doubt its been fixed. But last week was alright, apart from pre race ofcourse.

 

[SkengD]

I dont think it has anything to do with the update , just a network issue , hopefully it should be resolved soon . Ive still been able to race and practice tho so lets not let it get us down .

 

[Gedi69]

So i am the fastest Audi so far just hope Team V8 are near the top in Team's.

 

[kk20]

Has Race 2 review been posted?

 

[rolo912011]

I think the V8 results will be up before these will.

👍

If I joined the stewards from Tsukuba onwards the results would in all likelihood be out by Sunday night every week.

It's your call if you want the commitment.
I think geeky should hand the reins over, no disrespect to him as we all know his a busy boy now with work and he has done an excellent job making this series.

👍 I wont be able to review both races because I only have enough time on fridays to race and on sundays to practice for the race and to do the review. GVS race review took up 45 mins despite only having 1 racing incident.

 

[SkengD]

Sounds good if rolo can get a steward job

 

[Gedi69]

I would help out guys but our V8 series takes up most of our time, but if a incident needed another opinion I'd be happy to help I just can't totally commit to it.

I could do the other race and have the results out when you do 👍

In the best interests of the series I think thats a wise decision.

Thanks for the offer 👍

To be honest, including yourself, there are a number of wise heads in this series who can guide the series through.

 

[azidahaka]

i support rolo to be a steward

 

[Gedi69]

Still no results lol

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Geekys found a life maybe a young lady?

 

[kk20]

Lmao...

 

[rolo912011]

Or a young man, better not discriminate.

I'm on gt5 right now do you want me to watch incidents right now?

 

[rolo912011]

Will just have to post the points up tomorrow if there's still no word. I guess it can be edited later if there is a change.

Gedi will take my steward role on Friday before I start next week. So PM him, killa and Geeky with any complaints.

I guess as long as we get word from 2 stewards out of the 3, we can get results up more quickly.

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Deffo out for the forseeable future Rols might be an idea to tie Sam down (Gokart) with me reserve.💡👍
