What do you think about leaving 50seconds later?

We tried 40 seconds, me timeattack and EBK and we didn't catch any newbies until the final lap heading towards the chicane.

50seconds would be perfect.

Anyone else confirm?

Yeah I think 50 secs aswell. 👍

yeah I think :50 is a good number! but probably hard to communicate to the rest

 

[GTP_rpm]

Sweet.

Coming to play in my M3

Edit, thanks for waiting Blitz, definately not as quick as your NSX on the infield lol!

No problem! I know the M3 is a handful, so I didnt just wanna leave you behind like that... 👍

 

[mr_VOLCANO]

That was my best at daytona so far! Great fight with timppaq 50sec sounds good

 

[GTP_rpm]

I'll wait 50seconds again...hopefully not on my own again hahah!!!

Don't know what's up with me.

I'll have some dinner and try again...

 

[Blitz187]

Good racing Volcano and Mr. Geez! you guys are too quick 👍

-edit: and sorry to however was behind entering the busstop I had just regained control going about 250 kph...

 

[Timppaq]

fun races! 👍 time for bed.. work tomorrow. Have fun

 

[Calcifer12]

blitz187 ha! man, i was in the wrong race by accident. so no worries at all about the oval. and btw, you're mighty fast in that nsx.

 

[Blitz187]

Nice racing Calcifer and Fuzzy! 👍 I was kind of sloppy there in the beginning though Calcifer... my bad!

 

[mr_geez]

-edit: and sorry to however was behind entering the busstop I had just regained control going about 250 kph...

it must have been me.. I was so mesmerized with your "tail swerving" when going around 250 km/h that I finished on the wall..great recovery nonetheless Blitz!! small break for me, but for sure be back later..

 

[Calcifer12]

lol blitz187. you dont need to say sorry, i know you're cool.

just wondering btw, is it fair to overtake the way i did? i keep the line, but at the same time the person in the inside will have to stop cause he's behind for the next corner, most of the time.

Thanks man! Its runs pretty damn good I must say...

it must have been me.. I was so mesmerized with your "tail swerving" when going around 250 km/h that I finished on the wall..great recovery nonetheless Blitz!! small break for me, but for sure be back later..

You know I was amazed by that one too... I thought, "Whoa, I just caught it! YES!" and then I saw a red F430 swerve from behind me and go into the wall.. oh well, I guess it happens! See you next time!


This is it for me! work again tomorrow.. Really enjoyed racing with everyone! thanks! Sorry for the bumps and hope to see some of you tomorrow for Mazda Monday... RX7

Its legal as far as Im concerned... you outbraked me... so you were ahead entering... So in my eyes nothing wrong... nice pass!

 

[JvM]

Hehe.. Nice ending there Volcano and EBK

So, I read some people have been trying the 50sec wait? Mee too now couple times with mr_V and EBK.
Everyone feels good about that? I have nothing against it. I could change the rule at the first post.

 

[mr_geez]

are we sure that waiting 50 seconds at the start is such a good idea?? maybe if there is smaller grid (4 600pp cars) we can wait 20 seconds?? just wondering..

 

[Synwraith]

Anyone still racing here? I'll head in for xx:18

All the best
Maz

 

[JvM]

I'll join for a few. 👍

 

[mr_geez]

hey Maz.. I'll come back for 2 more races.. I expect to see that yellow F430 up front..

 

[Animera]

Ha ha, thanks for pulling me back into the main group HordeR35 👍

I thought 20 seconds was ok myself. We did usually meet back markers, but they were usually off track, or very easy to get past. Only met a punter once i think.

 

[mr_geez]

what a shame about that guy in front it would have been an epic finish!!

 

[Animera]

Yeah, he was 'Royally Rude'! Ha ha!

Man, these races are so great, the lead changing all the time. Thanks to everyone participating.

 

[Synwraith]

hey Maz.. I'll come back for 2 more races.. I expect to see that yellow F430 up front..

And that's exactly where I was (except when you kept hunting me down!!)

Every night more people join this event and it's growing into a classic. Horde35_teamNUR, GTP_EBK thanks for joining in guys, the race was definitely enhanced by your presence.

JvM, you truly are one of the finest racers. Even when you're leading the race and 2nd place has lost your draft, you go through the pits to allow the guys to catch up and race close and 99% of the time that can cost you the win. A real fine example of what everyone here should aspire to. 👍

The respect and sportsmanship on track continues to improve and impress, but one of you is still trying Hollywood Highway Chase movie-style overtakes between multiple cars when there are no gaps right before a major stopping/turning zone and it's causing mayhem, please be more careful with your driving and try to apologise when you accidentally hit someone, even if it doesn't ruin their race 👍 At least I am 100% certain everyone in the races means well, so you can always put it down to accidents. I really am not saying I drive perfectly, I've caused my share of problems every single night, but I always send apologies.

what a shame about that guy in front it would have been an epic finish!!

Yeah, he was 'Royally Rude'! Ha ha!.

It just goes to show that even with a 50 second head-start, we will still catch slower cars and they can still cause utter havoc. I think maybe if we go back to 20 or 30, at least we have the chance to finish the races in grandstand edge-of-seat fashion where you can employ proper race tactics and be in the right place at the right time on lap 5....therefore our races won't just end in the middle of the bus stop and we won't have our races ruined on the last lap after all that effort instead of the difficulties we encounter on say lap 1 or 2 or 3. Just a thought.

Having said that, seeing almost 9 cars lined up in the pits revving their engines waiting for 50 seconds was a seriously spine-tingling moment, and the anticipation was making me giggle.


All the best

Thanks for great racing

 

[Mad94d]

I'll be racing at :48 if anyone else is in.

 

[Horde_R35]

Ha ha, thanks for pulling me back into the main group HordeR35 👍

LOL any time ! Then i tried to run with all you guys but i was knowing the F430. Had some dificulties in handling the car, coz im a AWD driver and lover and with RWD its much diferent. Anyway i think i did well Great racing back there. Tnx to all the drivers!

 

[The Outlaw]

Wow...wish I had a chance to join in on that 9 car grid! 👍

We should set up a time for each day (or every couple of days) when we can get a good amount of drivers together. I've had a great time so far, although there's still a bunch of high quality racers I haven't gotten a chance to battle with

Hopefully that made sense...I think I've had one two many drinks at the bar tonight haha!!!

Edit: Hope to see a bunch of you for Mazda Monday. Unfortunately I have to work until about 4pm on my side of the world so I may end up missing out on a lot of the action

 

[Blitz187]

Yup, This event is the bomb. I am an AWD man myself, but I am enjoying the RWDs here and on Mazda Monday A LOT! Thanks for the good races everyone. Hope this continues after the event update! 👍

Thanks for great racing

Sorry about that FAK, Think i got a little nudge of animera, which wouldn't nomally have been a problem apart from the fact i was so close to you. I had messed up the bus stop so was going much slower than you 2, you were passing on my outside and animera was coming fast on the inside, so i pulled closer to you to try and give animera some room, and you can see the results.

That was my last race, decided to call it a night after that as i had messed the previous few races up.

 

[Synwraith]

I recorded a race yesterday....

Where's the one where I overtook 4 people on the first lap on the infield and won the race?

Great video mate, I remember that race.

Am I right in guessing there will be very few people here tonight because of Mazda Monday?

All the best
Maz
