Well what if per say sandman appealed?

Update on lap times, just did a 1.47.459, with a possible 1.47.0XX if I had a perfect lap, was quite lucky and stumbled across a setup thats a good all rounder

 

[berty1979]

ellis- He wasnt there, whats your point?

Spurgey- Thats the record gone! Nice.

 

[Ellis]

No for future reference. Im just poking holes in your idea bret

 

[berty1979]

Moving swiftly on.

Thought we were at Monaco next....were at Cape Ring??!! That track is brutal! The Ferrari F1 race there was hard, lol.

Lots of corners and sectors, thats for sure.

 

[berty1979]

Yeah, someone said we were after the race but when I checked it was Cape. Awesome track, takes some good tuning skills to level out your car

 

[Spurgy 777]

Down to a 1.46.850, dont think ill be able to go much faster, plus this track seems to use up your tyres really quickly, or is it just me?

 

[berty1979]

Is your grip set on real?
That seems ridiculously fast.

 

[Spurgy 777]

Yeh, grips on real and tyre wear is on, dont think ive missed anything else.

 

[berty1979]

Well fair play to you then 👍

 

[Rich S]

Man...dont remember what by best lap in the F2007 was. I remember sliding early on on the "ring" turn. Then I finally learned how to do it after like 40 laps, lol.

Tires will not last long here, lol. GT5's tire model is a disgrace, this is one of those tracks that makes you wish the tires were decent.

 

[berty1979]

I am trying to go quick but look after tyres, working so far 👍

This gives me a time to beat What fuel load were you on?

I found it as bad as GVS for tyre wear, considering this track is 2 miles or so longer i think, might be 1 mile.

 

[berty1979]

Oh yeah, I forgot about fuel load. He was on a light tank guaranteed mate. I have done a 1.48.6xx with a full tank so I am happy with that. Going for 1st in this one but ill have to out think you lot to get it!
Strategy done too

 

[Spurgy 777]

Full tank, you probably will by the end of the week, you normally do and how many laps do you think you can get out of a set of tyres? after 5 laps ive used about half.

 

[SkateNj]

Sorry for hitting you on lap 1 bert. I was slamming them the whole way and i knew i was gonna hit you halfway through. But damn you guys are fast. I havent started tuning yet but will today.

 

[berty1979]

That is fast. Pulling 1.50's I could probably do 18 laps, I can go faster/slower but depends on whether I stop once or twice

No worries skate, I dont take it personally (unless you do it every week).

 

[Pagey279]

I will give it a shot
They should last a little longer than that, but like at GVS it depends how you drive the track. Some people were getting twice the distance i could on one set of tyres.

Rhy-I shall look forward to it, i never usually have a strategy, i always hope my pace will be enough. But i have an idea what i will do this time though

Edit: 18 laps!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wow

 

[berty1979]

'Pagey with a strategy'.....sounds odd doesnt it. If in doubt, flat out!

 

[Pagey279]

'Pagey with a strategy'.....sounds odd doesnt it. If in doubt, flat out!

Thats probably what i will end up doing I am no good at strategys

 

[berty1979]

Bring it on Samantha, my brain against your brawn!
You are 10 points closer to me after the penalties too

 

[Pagey279]

Fighting talk i see......bretina (its the only thing i could think of)
Brains usually win, but not this time mwahahaha

 

[berty1979]

Bretina
You know me, I love a good fight ....Margaret!

 

[Pagey279]

Then prepare to lose my friend

 

[berty1979]

You need 40 clear points to take the title. On NB24hr I reckon that I will come 5th, and you 1st.
Thats 20 points, so you need 20 points total from the next 3 races. 7ish points per race so basically you gotta get podium and hope I finish 1 or 2 places behind you.
Feel the pressure!!!!

 

[Pagey279]

Its a tall order, i will have to race hard and hope for the best
I do not feel pressure, i am the honey badger!

 

[berty1979]

some people when you squeeze them they fold

Not honey badgers!

(I do not advocate the sqeezing of badgers)

 

[Ellis]

Not honey badgers!

 

[Pagey279]

you will have no wedding vegetables left if you did!

Im pretty confident i wont fold, but the rest is out of my hands
