Ok I searched through the car list for Nascars and only found eleven so I dont know which car is left but I'll have it. Which one is it?
My bad Douqa I thought there were 12.
Ive shuffled Talon into the GAMESTOP Logono, if thats ok with you mate?
That means Douqa will get Dale Earnhardts car 👍
Btw does anyone know how to get rid of a poll now I'm finished with it? I cant see the option

Not a clue about the poll, but it looks like I'll have to start wearing in my new car. 👍

With the restrictor in place there is no need to run it in. We should all have the same power regardless of mileage.
@PAGINAS. I doubt you'll make it for 9pm mate as free run normally lasts a while. We'd probably need to limit free run to about 10 mins to be sure you'd make a 9pmer.
Dale Jr, will do. Catch y'all in abit. 👍
EDIT:I already own the Dale Earnhartdt jr car. Should it have a fully customisable LSD on it? Thats the only tuning part that has an option to revert to standard on it. I dont know if I fitted the LSD or if the cars come with them.
EDIT2: Nevermind, I'll check the car I bought on Tuesday.

Was a great race last night. Shame only 7 people could make it but the ovals will be packed I'm sure of it 
I qualified on pole with crispy behind in second. I tried very hard not to spin my tyres off the grid and crispy got the jump on me. Douqa and CapD were following closely but had a coming together on lap 3 or so. It allowed me to concentrate on crispy rather than my mirrors! From there on we had a great battle. Swapping position most laps and sometimes more than once.
On lap 12 I decided to dive into the pits. Crispy had carried on and it was a golden opertunity to make some ground in open air
It came as quite a surprise when I overtook him in the pits by quite a considerable margin. It also appeared that Douqa had gained a position so I could only assume Crispy had made a mistake
I had quite a comfortable lead so I took it easy. Driving fast laps instead of qualifying ones. But pretty soon I had CapD and Douqa bearing down on me.
I wasnt entirely sure they were battling me for position. I was thinking about it for a good few laps but by the time I realised, they were already onto my draft. I had to push hard to try and bridge a gap. And eventually I made a terrible mistake.
With dirty tyres in the next corner I lost it. The back end came round and I nearly hit CapD on my way to the gravel trap
It allowed Crispy to catch up too. As I struggled off the sand he reached the final turn at the same time as me. Imagine my surprise to see CapD making a mistake as I rounded the corner
Then imagine my further surprise to see Crispy take a spin in his haste to overtake me
And then!!.. (It felt like christmas at this point
) Off in the distance Douqa was making his mistake too!
He had to pit as the excursion resulted in a broken front wheel. I was able to regain the lead and take a comfortable win
I was leading by 15 seconds with 4 laps to go so I decided to drive very cautiously and make it to the finish. In the end I was winning by such a margin I had time to almost crawl around the last lap and down the start finish to wave at my fans
Very tense and enjoyable race that guys. Thanks again 👍
Afterward a few of us went to daytona for a mess around. I took a few photos of that too for your viewing pleasure

Excellent pictures Captain 👍
Yes, a very tense and enjoyable race last night, well done on taking the win
For some reason I decided to stay out a couple of extra laps as the tyres didn't feel too bad, but the tyre drop-off in those laps was huge...that'll teach me, haha. I made up some ground on you after my spin, but then I binned it at the left hander after the corkscrew, and ended up with a massively damaged car, limping round the last couple of laps with Captain D closing in rapidly...tense times 
Shame about the size of the grid though...hope for bigger grids tomorrow night at the ovals! 👍

Sure, the only pics of my car you have are of me driving sideways at Daytona Speedway
I'll photoshop my pics so I can post in thread-I enjoy the race recaps some of us post;
And I'll show the ones where (for a few moments) I was ahead of Douqua and racing with Crispy (?) at the begining of Laguna Seca.
Oh; I did much better at the ovals-pic too
Won a race didn't I?
Off to check replays and take some photos, cheers mates 👍

Well, last nights racing from my perspective was certainly a case of 'If it can go wrong, it did'
Started off at Indy speedway, with a disappointingly low turn out, only 7 on the grid...where were all you guys?
Anyway, didn't really get a feel for the car last night after accidentally running on hard tyres for the practice, although I switched to softs moments before the Captain begun the race. After the rolling-start everything seemed fine until I got to turn 2, where I had no grip whatsoever, immediately slid to the outside and got mugged by everyone else, leaving me in last place and thinking it'd switched me back to hard tyres! Struggled round until lap 3, where I decided to pit as my lack of grip through the turns had lost me the tow anyway...race over
And to add insult to injury...I was on soft tyres!!
Race 2, in short. Started in 5th, big crash a few laps in, Shin, Captain D, and myself somehow got back up to within 7 secs of the leaders by the last few laps...chance for me to get a decent result after all...cue big crash number 2, and on the last lap and our race long, hard work completely undone!
I think Shin summed it up perfectly afterwards saying that it was brilliant, scary and heartbreaking all at the same time!! Yep it sure was, haha 👍
Looking forward to hopefully getting a better result next sunday...and hopefully a bigger grid 👍

With regard to Indy and Daytona, i can only echo the musings of Crispy. Managed to get to the front at Indy as everyone made their pit stop, but by lap 27 tyres were decidedly second-hand and had to make for the pit. On rejoining the race i came out to an empty track ahead with no-one to grab a tow from thereby finishing 6th
Daytona was as Crispy already described, with he, the Captain and myself having our own little race and making headway until bang!, all over. So, could of been better, but good fun anyway. Right!, on to next Sunday!

Lol. Guess i was the only one to enjoy our Nascar oval races then. It's official.
Great first race. It felt a little to crowded at some turns in the first stint. After my pit stop i was 3rd and was alone, but the next lap burr pited and joined me in the track. It was hard to catch up to Douqa and capitain roh, because burr was more interested in fighting with me. I had to push him all the way to a great finish. I had the lead in the last lap, but that wasn't such a great idea. Finished 4th 0.102 from douqa. 👍
Second race it was a great teamwork between me and paginas.
We worked together in the first laps really well. He would follow me everywhere. Other guys lost the draft and paginas eventually feel asleep when i was expecting him to make a move on last lap.
All in all a great sunday night, at least for me.
PS: you owe me a new bumper paginas

Sorry I had to duck out on you guys for the second race, something came up that was (at that point) out of my control.
The first race was certainly intense, I thought it would just be me and Shin battling over 1+2 but Kamy and Burr must have got their heads together because all of a sudden they were right behind us.
So last lap and I decided to hang back in 4th behind the lead pack and try and get a nice long draft to the finish. I think Burr and Shin either had a coming together through turns 3+4 or they both decided to slow a little in order to find the sweetspot of draft. Either way they nearly got it bang on. Nearly. Out of the final turn and I had moved into 2nd and realised to my dismay that I was a little closer to Kammy than I wanted to be. I used minimal draft and edged past him towards the finish line. I had him beat, no question, but I could see Shin and Burr flying up towards us in my rearview and thought I had no chance of crossing the line before them, but the line crept up sooner than I expected and I just edged it.
A fun race but not something I'd do often. I can't imagine that the slipstream has that much affect in real life. In the game it doesn't really matter how fast you drive as long as you keep up with the pack and time your move on the final lap just right. But maybe thats what Nascar is actually about in real life, I honestly don't know as I've only ever watched Nascar in films. lol.
Can't wait to see whats next.
Oh and Kamy, that ^ is blatant abuse of the sly smiley.

Nascar is better with bigger grids...... next time.
I was absent for a work related meeting; drove through snowstorm to get there; and through snowstorm to get safely back-real white knuckle driving!
And no rebooting out of the ditch in real life .
Sounds like you had some fun at the ovals 👍; hopefully I am available for the next race.
My pics have me leading Douqua at Laguna Seca (for a short while)!

This is exactly the type of racing I'm interested in. PSN ID is KYLB0T (0 is a zero). You any of you fellas run these kind of lobbies just haphazardly, or is it usually just at the specified times. I have been running One make lobbies the last couple of nights and haven't received much interest.

Well.. Disappointing day out for me at the ovals! lol. Well actually I did alright considering 3rd at Indy and 4th at Daytona. Could of been worse Here's a few shots of what was the only part of the races worth photo'ing for me
Stupid race! Got a bit twitchy on the final lap and this happened! Thats the trouble with NASCAR.. When one goes, everyone around goes too! Sorry I collected you guys.
Anyways, back to road cars and circuit racing!! YAAAAAAYYYYYYY
Results are up, new schedule too, and this week people have prize cars waiting 👍 Well, one does, the other will be sent tomorrow. I was on the podium too so I kept a lovely looking Mercedes 300SL coupe 👍
Thanks again to everyone who made donations. Feel free to make yourself known should recipients post what they got
Welcome 👍
First of all, its just a technicallity but you need to re read the opening posts and respond appropriatly. I need to make sure new members are on the same page as the rest of us
As for 'hap hazard' races You might be in luck mate. When a few or more of us are on you can usually find us running something or other for giggles. I'll add you so you can join in, but to compete in concours, you have to respond to a particular section of the OP's to be included 👍
Loving the pics mate 👍 I like how you're linking to your album too. If its easier for you than resizing its a great compromise. Of course I would prefer to see pictures in the thread, but its great that people can view your pics as you intended them 👍
Congrats on leading Douqa for a while too mate You can be proud of that
Too big is the simple answer You need to resize your pics to 600 pixels wide. Photobucket can do this for you 👍 Alternatively you could link to your GTPlanet album like BlaqueJack above

Need a litle help here.
Is there a V10 in this game?? I only see 2 V8s. And from your pic we will be using the 5.2 litre. The R8 5.2 FSI Quattro '09.
If so good pick Captain. I bought one a couple of days ago. 👍
