***Euro GT500 Championship***RACE 5 THREAD CLOSING***

[XaNoR]

Could'nt have said it better. Thanx Max!
For the first time since I started to race - My wife felt sad for me as well

 

[Sail IC]

In contrast to the negative things that happened in the last race, I want to give some kudos to Chris.

Chris wrote during qualifying that he could only see 10 out of 14 drivers. He asked what to do and when told he left the event as he had ghost issues. He rejoined the room during qualifying and asked if could enter the competition. Even it might be bending the rules, we allowed him and he went on having a great race.

Well done Chris and congratz to your second place.

 

[RamoSapiens]

Obviously I am really happy with 3rd pos, though Johan
would have been second and that would have dropped
me to 4th. Grats to Chris also, very good driving with
worn tires.

I just wonder why all You guys had so much better tires
than I had....watched 1 guy who made only 1 pitstop, and
he used run-off areas as part of track. Obv. it saves tires,
when You don´t turn as hard as You should to keep You
on track.

 

[RamoSapiens]

I dont have time to watch every Guys laps here, so
I´ll give a warning to EVERYBODY for goin wide to
gain time & save tires, and We focus only on collisions....

I don´t really know where to start.PM box is full.....

GOOD NIGHT.....See You tomorrow....

 

[CaptainFalcon89]

Falcon if you are talking about our incident then I understand that 👍

I was.

 

[RamoSapiens]

I see that people haven´t read the updated rules
in post #1.

If we consider that a driver is ruining it for the others(despite the warnings), we will suspend the driver from the rest of the season.

If You want to report an incident, PM the Driver that caused
in Your opinion the accident. If He admits PM Me(RamoSapiens) and I will give the Warning or Penalty.
IF He dont admit,
Just PM the Stewards (all of them that was in Your Racegroup), with the exact time of the incident, and who was involved.
We will watch the Replay and concider if a warning/penalty will be given.

If You have "ghost car" issues, leave the track! Racing with "Ghostcar" issues will resultate in DQ.

If Youre not showing up in race, and havent inform about it, You will have 2 points penalty!

If You go accusing/argueing about incidents in public(in the thread) it will lead to 1 Point penalty/message!! DO IT ONLY THROUGH PM:S!

 

[RamoSapiens]

Penalties Group #2 so far:

GTP_Marlboro-cheating in q1 by cutting over grass
in chicane.Caused mayhem in corner 1 1st lap, by
diving in the inside of corner and used others as a
wall.Driving constantly wide to gain time & save tires. Caused Johan to lose 2nd pos in chicane in
last lap. Solution--DQ´d and suspended from series.

Nycrom: warning for overly aggressive driving in lap 1,(fight with Chris in turn 2 and pressing
Johan wide in turn 3). 20 sec pen(1 point) by
causing mayhem in chicane lap 3.

Glitter&Chris: warning for bumping out Nycrom
in corner 9? lap 1.

 

[CaptainFalcon89]

Now we know what to watch out for!

thanks buddy!

I would just like to give a 2 weeks heads up warning that if we hold the INDY race on the 28th of april i am not able to join.

Just got a call from the Team Owner and im officially racing in the next 4 hour Nurburgring Race on the 30th of april in the Porsche 997 GT3 CUP

Reason why im not able to join on thursday is, that i have to drive 1000km from where i live to the track, which means leaving my house on wednesday night - thursday early morning (at least 700km is german autobahn which means flat out 255kmh )

[XaNoR]

Too long to drive im afraid Otherwise it would be a blast to watch you race IRL.
What car do you have IRL. My ST220 has a 250km/h top speed limiter (I know for sure cause i tried)

 

[xStretch-]

Thats epic Chris!

Tony, Pelteon, Gliterous and The Niss in my next race... fml

Its 09 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE with a 6spd MT and a nismo chip. Supposed to deliever now 308hp but the biggest prob is thats its a bloody FWD




last year summer heading to monte carlo

Chris

 

[Lambolover]

Chris, thats awesome, good luck to you I would give anything to race at the Nurb in a Porsche.
I have to make do with trackdays in my Accord type r which is a bit quicker than Rickies ST220... 156mph, off the limiter in 5th 👍

In other news the decision the stewards have made with regards to penalties in group 1 is:

Peltonen -2 points.
Corner cutting incidents and defending too aggressively on several occasions.

Nissman -1 point
Corner cutting.

 

[RamoSapiens]

OK. From next race forward, You can pick any car
that You want from the list. You will though have
to keep it for the whole season. No more TEAMS,
so You don´t have to ask Your mate what car to pick.👍

We will make new teams depending on what cars
You pick instead.👍

We go MAYBE allready with 2 separate Divisions
to make the races more even. But we discuss it
here first.

 

[MaccGyver]

I will be sticking with my dear old friend the YellowHat GTR.

Nice videos Chris, was on the autobahns last year in my SAAB 9-3 and hit 140mph going down a long hill , car got really light and wobbly at that speed tho, definatley wasn't desinged to go that fast lol.

Saying that i have done 186mph on a motorway over here in Ireland on an R1 i used to own

Rofl. Every time changed line once and defended MY line like it should. You should check my and nissmans 2nd stint,that's how everybody should drive.

Divisions in middle of the season? Imo the points doesn't mean anything at this point then.

 

[XaNoR]

I did...
I'll stick with my Lexus PETRONAS TOM's SC430...

 

[D-Max]

all i can say is the FPS last night ws terrile.. practicing through the week on my own i was doing at best a 1:34.0 and last night i was doing 1:39.xxx... I soldiered on as no one complained i was laggy etc but i had to give up it was getting really bad.. i couldnt keep the car on the track plus to add to that i had one of the worst days ever yesterday lol...


Edit.. I'd like to use the Petronas SC430? It's what im used to and what i like to drive . was gutted i couldnt choose it at start

 

[CaptainFalcon89]

Toss up between my NSX or The Petronas Lexus for me at the moment

 

[XaNoR]

Falcon I think you should drive the RAYBRIG NSX. Why? Because you are fast with it and its nicer with a colorful grid.

 

[D-Max]

If there are too many Petronas SC430's ill test the Denso etc..

 

[LennoX]

Might keep the Yellowhat GTR but for the sake of a colourful grid I'll do some testing with the Castrol Tom's Supra

 

[XaNoR]

The Denso is identical to the PETRONS. I drove the exact same time with the Denso (well +- 0.200)

 

[RamoSapiens]

IMPORTANT!!!

We have discussions here with Nissman to maybe unite our
series to the 1 and only Euro GT 500 Championships.
(Nissmans serie would be DIV1 obviously.👍)

It would include 2 divisions, racedays mondays and thursdays.
So 2 races/week. 8 races=4 weeks=1 season.

Basic Idea would be that after every season the last in DIV1
falls down to DIV2. 2nd last in DIV1 qualis with 2nd best in DIV 2.

But we will announce later on about the plans.👍

Stay tuned!

 

[xStretch-]

I'm keeping my car I love the colour

2 races could be harder for people turn up. Maybe we should do qually the day before the race 1 lap each? Just an idea

 

[XaNoR]

Well I won't be able to race more than thursdays so I guess I'll have to drop the series in that case.
