Really because i was looking forward in racing the season 4

 

[berty1979]

Yes, sorry. There are lots of championships on here so you will find something. Good luck 👍

 

[rallymorten]

I would have loved to race with you guys too, berty1979, really a shame that you decided to stop this it all seemed so well organized, so respect for that 👍
If you ever feel like you want to, you shall be welcome to race if my own Series start

 

[berty1979]

Thanks for the compliment 👍
We had a great series but everything must come to an end
Maybe you could message SVTBDKD and invite him to your series?

Spurgey + Pagey- Did you guys ever see this?
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=214611

I wonder if you two could beat the FGT time of 4.44.xxx

Maybe you should have a go at it?

 

[Pagey279]

Yeah I've seen that before, I haven't tried to beat it yet. I doubt if I could, that's an insanely fast time

 

[berty1979]

You can do the 24 hr in 6 so that means 1.16 for the GP section. I reckon you could mate.

 

[Spurgy 777]

SRF isnt allowed so its really hard just to get 1 lap in, let alone a good one

 

[berty1979]

In that case it IS a good lap. I didnt read the whole thing 👎

 

[IMMORTALPILOT]

Why you guys stop this series??

 

[Ellis]

Because every bird must fly from the nest. And fgtc bird spread its wings.

 

[berty1979]

IMMORTAL- See above It was just time man.

 

[Ellis]

The way I said it Bret was much more poetic

 

[berty1979]

thats my first practice out of the way, one more tomorrow and I am happy with my pace. Car is controllable and tyre wear is good 👍

Spurgey- Yes I did beat it in the end but only on low fuel.

 

[ETID]

Coming off F1 and going to GT5 is silly. I can't even drive properly it's like watching someone driving with no arms...

 

[berty1979]

I was excactly the same yesterday. I played F1 after too so will need to spend 15 mins getting used to it before free practice too

 

[ENTERSANDMAN13]

Can't make it tonight unfortunatley. It will be a close call if i do.

 

[berty1979]

Shame SM, do your best mate.

 

[berty1979]

Race room opens in 25 minutes 👍

If anyone is wondering about the championship. I need spurgey to come 4th if I can win. If I come 2nd I need him to be much further down (unlikely). If he disconnects then I only need 3rd to win.
Spurgey needs to either beat me from any position today to take the championship. If SM wins he has a very slim chance if Spurgey and I disconnect/fail to score or score very low.
Should be good

 

[Spurgy 777]

If you win you need me to come 4th 👍 should be interesting race though

 

[berty1979]

Great final race guys 👍

Congrats to Spurgey for a flawless performance!
Its been cool racing with you guys over the past year or so and we have had some epic encounters on GT5. I will see you all on GT6 or F1 2011

I will take most of the OP down and leave your stats once completed. OP will be sorted by tomorrow. Thanks all, its been a blast 👍

 

[Pagey279]

Well here goes, my final race report:

I qualified badly, I spun on the first corner on the first lap, then I did the same on the second so I was 3 seconds slower than i could have been. I then found out it was because I was on mediums

I started well and maintained my position through half of the first lap but then under braking I got punted by ETID and I span. He waited for me and we got going again.
From then on I was pretty much by myself and if I remember correctly i span about 12 times All in the first sector, and 1 time because I stupidly decided to change the song on my ipod mid corner
But I had built a comfortable lead back to Neth and knew I was pretty much guaranteed 3rd place.
I managed a 5 stop....just. On softs I could barely do 9 laps and mediums the most I got was 11 laps but my strategy worked fairly well and I found myself on a short last stint.
So I downed my red bull and went mental setting the fastest lap It wasn't too fast considering my fuel load but still im happy I got it.
In the end I finished 1 minute 53 seconds behind spurgy, and considering I span a dozen times and mucked around a lot on the last lap wasn't too bad actually.

It's a shame we only had 8 people turn up, it would have been nice to see more people but hey it was a good send off none the less

 

[berty1979]

Nice report 👍

If anyone else has any reports, get em in

 

[Furinkazen]

After racing Etid, Ellis, and Spurgy in WSC practise tonight... let me tell ya. Ya bloody mental

 

[Pagey279]

That does not surprise me in the slightest, and I hate to break this to you, but you've probably only seen a fraction, a tiny sliver of their mentalness

 

[berty1979]

Haha, they are a trio of madmen!

 

[Furinkazen]

Haha, they are a trio of madmen!

And i've got Ellis as a team-mate, when he's not shouting, Spurgy in a Jaguar being bloody quick, and Etid just sniping people off in a Ferrari... happy days await
