[MSTER232]

Good racing with you guys, and I hope you will remember that "think outside the Cube" moment at Indy Speedway we had today 👍 .

 

[Turismo.M.G!]

Really enjoyed it today, if you are not sure whether to take part or not, DO IT!

You will have a silly grin stack to your face the whole time!

 

[Apmaddock]

I've updated my above post – basically I'm in for Friday and out for anything else.

 

[Phouchg]

Hah so you actually did race today? didn't expect that actually.. the announcement was made so late but i'll show up some other times definately on wednesday.

Race #1 @ Motegi Super Speedway

Turismo.M.G! said he was worried about blending in when he took his Cube to GT Auto to give it a paint!

Turismo.M.G! crossing the finish line in 1st place, after having blinded his opponents with pink!

Race #2 @ Daytona Super Speedway

Pretty boxy!!!

Turismo.M.G! crossing the finish line in 1st place, again (*sigh* ), even surviving the apron!
(Which granted, the apron doesn't seem that threatening in the Cube. )

Race #3 @ Indy Super Speedway

Right before Turismo.M.G! found out he couldn't manage a slipstream battle while having a phone call...
not even in a Cube.

MSTER232, having decided to "Think outside the Cube".

I got him though!!
(Though I had to do some of my own "outside the cubeness". )
(The stewards probably should've penalized us both... but it would not have changed the results. )


Simply hilarious! Can't wait to do it again.

 

[aceboy127]

I should be able to make it today. 👍

 

[Phouchg]

Me too! should be fun, last time i was ovalracing it was in an open room online, crash mayhem in other words.. this should be better.

 

[Sonygamer455]

Okey i just checked my garage and i do have a Nissan Cube just as you required!💡 Frankly my garage is so big i forget what cars i own sometimes My Nissan Cube is the exact one asked for. I got it from the used car dealer, got an oil change, car wash, engine restoration, chasis maintenance, rim change, custom paint and no upgrades Will this do?

 

[watermelon punch]

Okay late sign-ups so I'm going to be in the VCRC lounge.
ADD ON PSN: VCRC

Does everyone have that added?

And yes, basically no aero and everything at default for tuning prohibited.

 

[Phouchg]

I'm in VCRC's lounge now but it feels awfully empty

I can't find VCRC on my list, I didn't erase it though!!

 

[Phouchg]

Still totally empty in VCRC lounge.. Am I in the right lounge? ^^

 

[GranTurismo916]

I sent an FR to VCRC. (Though I'm sure I had it already...)

 

[Phouchg]

Aaaaawsome racing tonight! Who knew racing geometry (cubes on ovals ) would be so fun? Extra awesome that I won some races of course.

 

[Apmaddock]

Bah again! Just realized I have a prior engagement Friday (golfing) so I can't make any of this event.

Poo.

 

[watermelon punch]

Great googly moogly what races!
Thanks everyone for coming out.
I'll post results (and likely photomodes) tomorrow. 👍

Sorry you can't make it Apmaddock!

 

[John Wells]

Aceboy127: "5 wide is too much!"

Pretty close finish!

Race #2 @ Daytona Super Speedway

wat3rm370n (green) gets boxed up in a mix-up early on & spins out!

Phouchg / xNikodemusx waits up to bump draft w/ wat3rm370n! (Saved!)

Aceboy127 (blue) & MSTER232 (orange) start their battle for the draft of greest_lightnin (black)

GranTurismo916 / atongo619 (Paprika Orange) watches the craziness up ahead!

Aceboy127 (blue) losing the battle for the draft of greest_lightnin (black), having gotten boxed up & spun out

GranTurismo916 / atongo619 (Paprika Orange) *rubs hands together*

wat3rm370n (green) & Phouchg / xNikodemusx (yellow) continue bump drafting gaining time each lap - regaining after being 30 seconds down from the lead!

Aceboy127 (blue) finds new draft partner, GranTurismo916 / atongo619 (Paprika Orange)

wat3rm370n (green) & Phouchg / xNikodemusx (yellow) catch up

and overtake

On the last lap, all cars reunite in the draft

Crossing the finish line in a close crowded clump!

Race #3 @ Indy Super Speedway

MSTER232 / MSTER232 / orange has an extremely early onset senior moment, and confuses CUBES @ OVALS for being a dirty NASCAR pub lobby.

 

[MSTER232]

That shot where we're all in a diagonal line across the track looks pretty cool 👍 !

 

[Phouchg]

Wow I didn't realize just how close those finishes were, pretty lucky to win those two first ones. Love the clump finish in the second one, still can't believe we caught up. Was almost giving up when we wre still dropping more and more behind after a couple of laps trying to bump draft. But then we really got it and was going sooo fast.

You guys who fell behind were lucky. I still can't believe you caught up just before the finish line where me and the driver in the black cube were pretty much half a track length ahead. It's pretty safe to say that a miracle happened .

I'm bored; is anyone up for some practice in the VCRC lounge?

 

[dylansan]

Well it turns out today is the day I have free, not tomorrow. Maybe I'll show up a little late tomorrow though.

I might just come on Friday though, instead. Depends on when my Cube is ready.
