FGTC | OVER | Congrats to Spurgina!

[ENTERSANDMAN13]

it was awesome!

 

[Ellis]

I can't watch it. Damn us getting rid of sky. 👎

 

[berty1979]

Ellis- So did we mate check results on BBC red button and watch the extended highlights early afternoon tomorrow 👍

SM- Yeah mang

 

[ETID]

Where can you watch the F1 now then? I have a stream link, I'll post later on here.

Went to see The Devil Inside last night - scary stuff.

 

[berty1979]

Looking forward to seeing that, was it as scary as paranormal activity?

 

[Pagey279]

My sister walks straight in the house and tells me the qualifying results before I've watched the highlights damn her fiance for having sky!!!!

 

[ETID]

Gutted Pagey! It's not as scary as Paranormal but it's got some pretty gruesome parts where a possessed person twists her legs and arms round and dislocates all her joints, horrible stuff.

 

[berty1979]

Pagey- Unlucky mang

Etid- Sounds like my kind of film, I like to twist peoples arms and legs round myself

 

[Rich S]

Artman is definitely worth it. He's quick and very clean and shows up to the races every time. I'd boot one of the noobies and let him in personally. Of course, thats my preference.

Good start to F1 this year. Hoping for a Schumacher/Rosberg attack.

 

[Ellis]

That devil inside got average reviews so il pass.

By the way guys we are going off topic more again. Lets not lose another thread

 

[berty1979]

Dont worry Ellis there are plenty of others that go WAY off for ages and dont get warnings. Looking forward to tomorrow's battle at Suzuka, just hoping for no first lap incidents

Yup, last season I was out in the green/brown pastures after turn 1. Will be heading straight for the inside curbing this time around.

 

[ETID]

Anyone practicing tonight?

After a few quality, close games on FIFA between me and Ellis I recorded some of the rebounds I got. These really annoy him.

 

[berty1979]

way to go to annoy Ellis. I cant be bothered to move after eating way too much and having a few beers to celebrate the Wales win. Ill have to practice before the race tomorrow.

 

[SkateNj]

So guys i finally got the wheel mounted up again and im down to start racing again if there is any room. Even if i have to race as a freelance im fine.

If there isnt room and i cant start racing. Tell me immediately if any room opens up. I want to join like a lot of the other originals have. I will definitely race for season 4. I cant wait to race with you guys again.

 

[ETID]

Nice to see you back Skate.

 

[Rich S]

Good race by Button & Vettel. Was fun to watch. Maldonado gives it all or nothing.

Legs are tired from biking this week...got to try and practice up for Suzuka. Gonna play around with some stuff. Only done 1 practice so far.

 

[ETID]

Rich - Make sure you don't spoil the results for F1, some people haven't watched it yet.

Had a quick practice this morning, got a solid tune but not stupidly fast. 1:27.3 was best but consistant 1:27's for 8-9 laps. Defo get into the mid teens (lap wise). Mediums don't seem too bad either.

 

[KingSakery]

I couldn´t test but I can make it 👍
Will be great race for all others though Hope I don´t screw it too much

 

[Spurgy 777]

Ellis - Sent you my new setup, the tyre wear seems to be good enough now, and its faster than the old one 👍 Tell me what you think of it.

EDIT: Tyre wears still terrible At least its faster!

 

[berty1979]

Skate- Great news man, can you be online at the correct time and I will let you know if there is space for you today. If anyone fails to turn up for 2 races in a row without notice ill ut you back in, you are at the top of the back up list in the OP 👍

Rich- Lucky I didnt check this forum before I watched the F1 or it would have been ruined. Just finished and it was a great race!

Sakery- Glad you can make it

Ok man. Even though ill have to make a quick tune i definitely wanna race with you guys.

 

[berty1979]

Coolio, its good to have you back. You will probably struggle if you get a race (lack of practice) but it will be a good way to get your eye back in 👍

 

[SkateNj]

4 seconds of pageys fast lap. Whats the average pace?

 

[ETID]

1:25 - 1:29 is good a time. I'm in the middle at 1:27's.

 

[berty1979]

1.26 low as my fastest lap. 1.27's are normal but I am looking after my tyres so aim for 1.28 ish 👍

I hope I can snap out of race mode and really go mental on my qualifyer

 

[SkateNj]

Ugh... Im so pissed. My mom needs me to go with her somewhere during the race. So i cant race. Man i really wanted to race....

I might not be able to make the next 3 races due to my mom being a hardcore christian...

 

[berty1979]

Well that was.....horrible! Every season I think ill be ok and every time I crash like mad
Congrats to spurgey, everyone has 24 hrs to get their complaints in to me. Will be working on the OP sporadically through the night.

Spurgey- I am officially ordering you to have no more then 1 short and 2 long practice sessions each week!!!!

Race report to follow.

 

[Pagey279]

That race was EPIC!! Possibly one of my favourite races

I started 4th because of my grid spot drop, the first corner was very clean from my view, it wasnt until the tight left hand hairpin where it went wrong.
I went in way too cautiously and Brett snuck past me, then as i was accelerating out ellis tapped my back end and i span, but he waited for me 👍
I was 3rd from last and went after the person ahead, i got a few people as they span and then i caught sakery into the first corner.
For some reason he took it really slowly, half the speed i would normally go and i was going to rear end him if i didnt do anything about it. So i slammed the brakes on but i was turning and i flew off into the gravel, when i came back out i was last
From this point on i only overtook one car for position, i got everyone in the pits.
I didnt spin once and was putting in good consistent laps, and stayed pace with spurgy up infront. At this point i thought a 5th place was on the cards.

I was on my own pretty much untill i caught brett on the back straight, i passed him but didnt know where his car was going into the really fast left hander, so i took a wide line and caught the grass sending me into a massive spin.
Those 3 spins were where the 45 seconds went

I got going again and took a few people in the pits, and it wasnt till i came out the pits for the last time that i realised 3rd place was do-able.
I set after ETID and was just outside his slip stream when he span at spoon, so i came in in 3rd


I went from last place to 3rd, one of my best races i think Pretty chuffed

Also congrats mustard on the win (i see second place as first now with spurgy racing)

 

[berty1979]

Everyone- Imageshack is under maintainence at the moment so ill post all the updated charts tomorrow 👍
