I might actually be able to make 8:15 tonight, but I'm not promising anything.

Awesome! đź‘Ť I know a couple people said it would be easier for them to participate if it was a little after 8 so I'm going to wait until 8:15 before we start qualifying. But I also know that at least a couple people have to be done by 9 at the latest so I can't wait past 8:15. Hopefully everything goes smoothly and we get things done in a timely manner.

If we have a decent amount of people in the room by about 7:30 we can try a dry run at qualifying but I think it should all work out fine. I'm sure we're all ready to be done with Tsukuba......am I right or what?!? lol

You all going to stick around after the race and keep driving these lovable little machines? :) 8:15/8:30 is right on the edge of when I can make it, so if I miss the race start I don't want to miss out on driving them altogether :)
 
Change of plans I cannot come tonight, but should be there on Friday and Saturday
 
Well, race 1 of the new Capp Cup is in the books and it went down great! Congratulations to BrosifDuder, a late-comer to the series who went home with the inaguaral victory! That was honestly one of the most exciting races I've ever been in, cheers to everyone on some fantastic driving and etiquette. đź‘Ť


Here are the final results of the first race. Yuritardid took the pole but wasn't able to hold off BrosifDuder.

Tsukuba Highlights 01




Thanks to everyone who came out and made this a fantastic race. Other than some traffic during quilifying I think everything went down perfectly. I got my connection fixed and didn't see any signs of lag or connection problems. We'll try to fix the traffic problem in qualifying for the Friday race, it should be easy to sort.

wow, I had no idea it was starting today. I could've ran in the race but I was just doing lap after lap @ Monaco with the Ferraris.

I'll definitey make the next one. Friday right? (forgivemy ignorance,I'm @ work posting with my phone :D )
 
Tried making it in, but in the end, I wasn't able to.

And yeah, Wardez, I'm hosting the race on Friday.
 
It was an excellent race on all accounts. Qualifying seemed pretty smooth, as smooth as can be on such a small track. We did 6 minutes in each of two groups and everyone seemed to start where they qualified which is always good. Brosif and I qualified with a couple of hundredths I believe and were nose to tail the entire race, which was both fun and nerve wracking...lol. But for a slight mishap, both VonStig and iForce would have been right there as we were the first few laps, but it's so difficult to make up for lost time in these cars. Brosif got me in the first hairpin on the final lap for the victory. The post race discussion revealed good battles throughout the lineup. Everyone did a good job moving over while being lapped as well. Congratulations Brosif, you are very consistent and you left absolutely no room for error in 25 laps!!!

Good job hosting Brandon.

I can't speak for anyone else, although I thought we had a bit of a consensus afterwards while practicing at Deep Forest Reverse (is that updated on the main page?). I think 4 or 5 of us sort of agreed that we'd like to be able to use the concrete patches in the tunnel and after the tunnel for two reasons.

1. The left hander after the tunnel is extremely difficult without the wider approach and exit the concrete allows. There were several spins when we tried to drive without using all four wheels on the concrete.

2. It's very difficult to police and there will be times when one might run wide naturally, to avoid a collision perhaps or just carrying too much speed through that part of the track, and it would be a shame to have to penalize someone for that if we invoke a "two wheels on the track" type of rule.

I'd suggest that everyone try out Deep Forest Reverse and try the corners with the concrete patches, in and after the tunnel, and draw your own conclusions.

Updated my color from TBD to Jet Blue.

Edit: Something has come up and I will be unable to participate. I wish the series the best. I'll try to join in the future if things fall in to place.

Just in case you missed it...
 
Congrats to Brosif and yuritardid,you guys ran a smart and smooth race.đź‘Ťđź‘Ť Its too bad that Sohn and i had that contact because it broke the pack up.




Qualifying- 5 cars max slowest drivers in group one,mid pack group 2,fast 5 last based on practice speeds.STRICT 10 second intervals leaving the pits.And why exactly are people pitting during qualifying? If you are still tuning at this point then there is no magic setup back in the pits. Once your on the track run your laps or park it.
 
Even though I was alone for 80% of the race sitting with Brosif and Yu just outside of drafting range, I have to admit that was some of the MOST fun I've ever had in this game :) Despite being colossally slow, in race this car feels like a real race car :) Great race all around! Hope I can make friday night's race but I'll definitely be there for saturday.
 
Nice vids! Hope to join the fun on Saturday hehe. Some of those Capps almost look like toy cars with those bright colours, brilliant :) Can't wait! Lol
 
Stigs, I just watched the replay, and I'm pretty sure I would've stayed on the track at the Dunlop bridge if you didn't hit me on lap 24.

Sorry, I'll have to watch the replay. I remember trying to stay as low as possible and I didn't know there was any contact. I backed way off the throttle to avoid running wide. I assure you it wasn't intentional and I was doing everything I could to avoid an incident. If I had known I bumped you I would have pulled over to give the spot back.

iForce, I'm going to do everything I can to get more gaps between drivers during qualifying. For the next race I will make it clear that drivers can only leave the pits when I release them via the chat box. I hadn't tested what we did last night so I was kinda shooting from the hip and I didn't do a good job of releasing people. Now that everybody has a feel for what we'll be doing I hope it will go smoother next time. Unfortunately, my live timing monitor rarely works so I usually have no way of knowing who's fastest/slowest and wouldn't have a way to group the drivers as you proposed. It would also be very time consuming to sit there and calculate everybody's times and figure out who goes in what group. I want qualifying to be quick and simple, and other than a couple traffic issues it was, so I think we're on the right track.

As for Deep Forest, I won't be imposing any penalties for cutting the concrete areas, they really are unavoidable so the easiest thing is to just say they're fair game.

Thanks again to everyone for showing up!

It wasn't hundredths, the difference between our quali laps was only eight thousandths of a second! It was great fun racing with you. When you passed me going into the last corner on lap 15ish I was pretty happy because I didn't want to be in the lead going into the last five laps of the race. On the last lap, I didn't know how deep you were going to go into Turn 1 but I thought with me being on the outside you would brake a bit early and I would be able to power around and have the line going into the second hairpin. You drove it in deeper than I had planned but I was luckily able to pull an “Intimidator” and gain the lead. I look forward to our next race! Tuesdays will probably be my day as I usually try to get out on the weekends.

You mean deep forest right? :sly:

Ditto.
 
I didn't want to be in the lead either Brosif but in 10+ laps I couldn't find a chink in your armor and there wasn't enough get up and go to pass you using the draft, for me anyway, so I took the one opportunity I had when you made a slight bobble out of the last hairpin and slid by. I hoped that iForce or VonStig would catch you and the two of you would take each other out or something...lol. I blew it on the last lap in the hairpin, braking way too late. I should have glued myself to the inside and hoped you got caught out on the marbles or something. I was running pretty good down low, but alas, I missed my braking point.

Tuesdays will be my regular night as well, although I might show up on the odd weekend if I'm in town.
