Colin McRae (1968-2007) Tribute Event - Suzuka 750 :15s 20/9

[lildomplaya]

I believe for the guys in EST like me, it's like a 5 hour difference I think.

Hi Dragonistic! This has to be one of the finest online events ever mate! I´m a huge fan of Colin. I would have joined you guys, but my PS3´s bluray has frozen completely . I just hope you can avoid all those punters.. Well, hopefully we will have private lobbies at the next year´s tribute meeting. I´ll join you then..
Thanks.

Well we're gna let the pack go ahead to avoid punters, we don't have fast enough cars to have a right to ruin their races, we'll let them ruin their own races

For conveniance i'll try to give a 1 hour warning before it starts because all the daylight saving and what not is really confusing.

Not specifically designed to drift (it's actualy not specifically tuned for this event), but should anybody require a tune: here is one.

Thanks, your work is much appreciated as always

Either way, 7PM UK time, and i'll give a 1 hour warning prior to the first start time.

I'm in 👍 Been a big McRae fan since the 94 RAC Rally, and learned of the accident while I was in the States last year.

 

[Delphic Reason]

I'm going to try and be awake for this.

Had to pull a grave yard shift last night. Hopefully, I can get a few hours kip, and be ready for some Scubie fun. Either way, I'll be on at some point in the day to show my support.

I am up for this. 👍

Great post man. Gave me goosebumps. Loved it. Reporter,"So, How did you do it?" McRae, "I was quicker than everyone else."

That video is a great compilation of Colin's best Dragonistic .. Thanks for sharing! brought a lump to my throat I don't mind saying

X2, Great video, brought a tear to my eye at the end. What a legend.

I'm up for this, see you at 7 . Drag a very kind and thoughtfull idea for an event to pay tribute to one of the best Rally Ballsout Drivers ever.

Edit: I will also record the event and post the video's on here afterwards.......so guys in front of me try to get as sideways as possible.

Sounds good Craig. 👍

I'll 2nd that Dan........I'm off to purchase the Blue Mica one now myself.

Just a quick question is this only for an hour or do we run for a bit longer?

 

[EDK]

This is a great idea and I will be there. BTW, this will be the second annual GTP tribute to Colin. The first one is here -

WRS Week 127

 

[Hyper-Dan]

Just had a few laps in free run with my Mica Blue STI using Dutch Custom's setting with S2 tyres. Seems perfect for getting sideways.

 

[Hyper-Dan]

Delete.

 

[Dragonistic]

Ladies and gents this is your one hour warning, an hour from now is the first start time, then every 15

 

[GTP_DONK]

If any of you witness myself going into the sand or over the grass don't worry or panic it will be totally planned I will be entering into the true spirit of being a balls out Rally Driver

Catch you all in just under an hour from now 👍

Can't wait, Respect for the idea.

 

[Dragonistic]

Thanks, any support is appreciated I can see all you viewing this thread to, you better be there!

 

[DustDriver]

I'll hope to be there.
Tried it out with the Dutch tune on N3 tires and after fiddling with the steering wheel settings I'm enjoying drifting.
Even managed to (accidentally) drift completely through Degner using the grass and sand next to the track

 

[Dragonistic]

I've got my set up, im just undecided on tyres.

 

[Wardy 944]

S tyres have too much grip N's are the way to go:tup:

 

[Soundtrack]

Nowhere in controlling a running slide, and have not a single skill in drifts, but should I ignite the PS3 tonight, I will be joining you on this respectful event.👍

 

[GTP_DONK]

I've got my set up, im just undecided on tyres.

Sorry guys I'm running R3's anything less for me is just suicide .......plus I want to keep up with you guys to catch the action on film 👍

See you in just under 30mins 👍

Yeah I can't drift to save my own life so its R3's for me. Not a big scooby fan personally but i'm happy to deck out in one if its for Colin McRae, the rally world just got a lot poorer without him.

 

[Dragonistic]

Im going with N3s. I'll try to put on a show for ya Everyone and anyone is welcome, there's no restrictions on skill or set ups or anything

 

[Wardy 944]

:45

 

[Jack]

Right Im going with Dutch Customs Tune then on N3 tyres. Some really good sideways action 👍 True McRae style

 

[Dragonistic]

Next :00 is go time , I've been doing some practice so hopefully i can pull off some decent slides.

 

[Jack]

Ive done 2 practice laps....

Edit: After we move to the side, is it 30 secodns until we go.. or just let everyone past then easy are way around.
