DTM Season 1**Race 10 Fri 20th May**Race 11 Sat 21st May**

Think i best get practicing for suzuka, and get used to the new qualifying format, 5 hot lap limit?

I think the qualifying format you are refering too has not been used. I dont know if it was for Nurburgring or not. We can try it on Friday or just stick to the old method.
Also, the 5 lap limit was because i forgot that someone using the 'Watch Race' feature can see everyones fastest lap in the stats screen. I thought they would only be able to see everyones last 3 laps.

Also, DTM is only German cars well I am 99% sure its German cars only!

I believe it is (as with most touring car championships) any car which is based on a car that is sold in that championships country.

Good question though 👍

 

[Smudger92]

Hey JT, what time does the NA race start on sunday morning for us brits, im going to have miss friday ?
Cheers

 

[GTP_J_Turner]

5am Race Start. 4:30am for qualifying. Very early. (too early as i found out last Sunday)
Seems like the EU guys are dropping fast. No Smudger or Symp.

 

[Smudger92]

Its just this week the swap, as its my birthday on friday so i'm going out with family.
Im a natural early bird, so 430 wont bother me too much

 

[SymP]

I'm back next week. No worries!

 

[Mojo Toker]

E* 1 Full Race @ Cape Ring South (This is not a street circuit but could make-up for having Madrid as our Valencia)

2* Saturday 30th April - 09:00 PDT / 12:00 EDT / 17:00 BST / 18:00 CET
or
3* Saturday 30th April - 14:00 PDT / 17:00 EDT / 22:00 BST / 23:00 CET

This should definitely be a joint effort for the final race.

And to be honest with the showing we've been having in the last few races 7-8 players max per side), we should maybe start thinking about a joint championship for season 2. Just a thought...

Seems like I'm gonna be more than the pace car this friday...

I got something planned this saturday and I would be cutting it very close in order to make it in time (and sober...) for that race.

So, being that Smudger and Symp can't make it this friday, I'll put on my best ''Bond'' tuxedo, light up my Churchill cigar, put the needle down on my best Led Zeppelin vinyle and come hang out with the EU crowd for a full race. 👍

Sorry NA guys, wish I could be there, Suzuka's gonna be WILD! 👍

BANZAI!!!

 

[GTP_J_Turner]

E*3* for me

Scores so far:
A*= 0
B*= 0
C*= 1 Symp
D*= 3 Goruk, Smudger, Sassafrass
E*= 4 Goruk, Mojo, JT, Jav
F*= 0

1*= 1 Sassafrass
2*= 3 Mojo, Smudger, Sassafrass
3*= 5 JT, Mojo, Smudger, Goruk, Sassafrass
4*= 2 Smudger, Sassafrass

If this works out well then a joint championship would be good. 👍

 

[Smudger92]

I'm back on friday night now due to reasons beyond my control.

Just run some laps of suzuka, damm its tough to string a good lap up always make a mistake somewhere.
Got down to 1.59.xxx.
With a bit of tuning/learning track, i think 1.55.xxx could be possible, if not even lower.

 

[GTP_J_Turner]

My best this week has been a 2:04.xxx. Will be happy if i can get down to under 2mins. It is a long track and there are lots of areas where you can pick up some time. I just dont know where thoes areas are...

This will be one of (if not) the longest races (distance wise) we have had so far this season. Have to remember to top-up my fuel when i pit...

 

[Smudger92]

Suzuka does seem to love fuel and tires (if your not careful)
Anyone want to private lobby test later? Fed up of people turning up in x1s and gt cars and ruining my test.

Putt restrictions on the room power\weight tires and most important aids off and heavy damage, usually when i set a room like this a guy entre the room make two corners and leave to much to deal with...

 

[GTP_J_Turner]

^^^ Lol. I find that too. If they do stay in their super cars i just blow them out the water with my TT-R and they usually leave after 1 lap.
I might get on later tonight. I'll keep my eye out for you smudger.

 

[Smudger92]

1472-4710-9909-6402-0603
ROOM OPEN

Will be open until midnight (leaving it open while i watch tv)
Will hold some races as usual.
See you there

 

[GTP_J_Turner]

Should be there in about 15 mins.

 

[Smudger92]

Who fitted our cars and the walls with magnets?
Good night of practice. Fastest lap of 1.56.4.
So determined to go 1.55. Looks like 130R flat using run off might have to be done
This race will be awesome.

Also in reference to the last race. I meant D* Tokyo. Can't stand cape ring at all.

 

[GTP_J_Turner]

My best of the night was a 2:01.xxx. Waaayyy off the pace. Just cant string a good lap together. O'well, i'll just have to plod along and try to keep facing forward.

 

[Jav]

My vote goes for track option E!
Also, if you guys need a pace car for the EU race just let me know!!

 

[GTP_J_Turner]

Thanks Jav, that would be great. 👍

I'll send you my Nissan GRAN TURISMO SKYLINE GT-R (PaceCar) later if i remember. I'll want it back though because it's pretty rare apparently (??). I dont really know about these things..

Was going to send it to Mojo but he is racing with us of Friday.

 

[Jav]

No need to send it, I got one.

 

[GTP_J_Turner]

Not that rare then..lol.

.👍 Nice time Smud my best was 1.57.822 but i was using the tune i made for the east section, so there's still room for improvement.
But i'm guess you gonna see me alot in your miror

There must be something wrong with your car JT i was doing that after 9-10 laps tires wear...

Not that rare then..lol.

I got one to...

 

[Smudger92]

As we come to an end in the championship. The top 3 in the eu series can still take the overall win. Goruk -92 points. Symp - 80 points. Me - 60 points.
I have to take all the points possible to tie with goruk (and win via amount of wins) symp has to win twice and finish ahead of goruk. Goruk just has to win twice and he will win. (these are the basic outcomes assuming goruk comes 2nd when me and symp win. And I done it in 2 mins)

Also what the deal with tonight? How are we setting up the lobby?

Jav that would be great.

 

[GTP_J_Turner]

If you want to set up the lobby tonight. We will try a lounge first on Non-Fixed. Then if we get problems we can go to Lobby with Fixed owner (like Monza was).

With 5 races left there are still a possible 105pts available for the EU/NA series (Win 10pts, Finishing 5pts, Pole 3pts, Lap 3pts).

 

[GTP_J_Turner]

There must be something wrong with your car JT i was doing that after 9-10 laps tires wear...

Yeah i think my 'Seat To Steering Wheel Interface Unit' is broken...

 

[Smudger92]

Cool, thought there was only four left. That means JT you can still win the championship:tup:.

Ok, ill open up around 1930-2000 BST tonight.

See you all there

 

[Mojo Toker]

Not that rare then..lol.

Got one too buddy, I actually had TWO at one point.

Catch u later on track today. I haven't had time to practice or play with my setup, be gentle with me everyone...

 

[Goruk]

[Smudger92]

Is it just me or is everyone else emoticon face thing.

Mojo, we might make it demolition derby special (Joke)
