I hope we get a full grid or almost full grid like yesterday on the track! 👍 that was nice

It was a nice shock to see a gridfull of GTP members, i noticed a lot more F40's last night and they seemed quick also, i could not help but laugh sometimes we were all being so polite to each other that our lap times must have been slower.

Yeah I think so too... it was also funny seeing the train of F40s mid-pack coming of of turn 1.. But Marchbrown and the crew are fast in the F40s... if I could get decent lap times in it I'd use it too... I switched over to the F430 with DCs tune.. very nice ... Now I can give some competition but I havent broken the 9.00 minute mark yet... got a 9.01 yesterday.. but I want to aim for a sub nine one time Maybe tonight??? following Roomboter or something

If people keep being polite, or just follow standar OLR rules, this will be a great evening. I cant wait racing again. Almost feels like I'm on holliday driving Fuji instead of the usuall Suzuka.

I’m glad you guys enjoying yourself in this event. Gives me great pleasure. Hope we have some great races tonight . I can’t wait.

 

[Marchbrown]

Yes - but as I pointed out I think people should go through the OLR rules. Gives us all a better race I think. Happy racing mates, and good luck. And thanks for you work Roomboter - hope you're completly back from your flu thing.

EDIT: And BLITZ - R1s of course. I think I forgot that.

Keep fun guys... my thoughts are with you, when I'm serving beer to Finnish youths who really knows how to drink.

My bartending shift ends at 2am, (4am our time) and I will check then if anybody is still racing. I have done last six months fri and sat shifts to getting more money... sometimes I'm thinking is it worth it really. Gladly they are most of my own friends, but that maybe does it even harder... to seeing only worst manners of your pals.

When I will buy new wheel to me in Xmas, I think every bad memory disappear!

cali for me, running a 1:44:2 hotlap practice and a 1:42:XX during a race sometimes. but the race laptime doesn’t really count IMO. Slipstream and RBE. If I run 1:44 – 1:45 laptimes during the race I’m happy and competitive and under the 9 min total race time

 

[HAD2]

it will also be great seeing 16 racers start the grid instead of 12 mainly.ive never been in a race with 16 people.

Hey mate, i guess you have not a HD-Ready TV like a LCD/Plasma? Then you can not see the times like someone told me, but you can try to choose 16:9 view in your menu, then it should work...

See you later in my F40
