Looking forward to tonight lads, should be a good race 👍

Finally was able to get some practice done, think ive got a better setup now. managed a 8.10
 
I am going in completely blind for tonight! Didn't think I'd be in a good enough condition but I'm doing the WSC before so the grip is going to be fantastic in the Ford afterwards!!!

I am hoping to get some decent points if I can stay... Don't think I can win it...

My money is on iwasere in the GTR...
 
Mistakes are going to be worth more then fast laps if the fast laps come with mistakes there after. My sights are only on 1 man and his name is Dave. He's leading me by 2pts that I've been staring at for 3 wks now. Its time to settle this now, this round dictates who is on the podium and who is off looking up. Advantage JoeTruckV8 since I'm already awake!

F1 just started so ill be in my room right afterwards. Watching live so I won't be able to fast foward commericals which usually shortens the race watch time for me.

Advantage Team Dave, Has been awake for several hours, memorizing each turn whilst forgetting where to deliver the goods at work, The Nordshliefe is really hard to replicate on a Highway :lol:

Oh and I won the 24 hour here......

on my way buddy,
 
5this is fast with you were at 5 drivers already. Bad host I should of had the rom open hrs ago, damn company lol'
 
Sorry I had to go. I got some family issues that needed to be fixed. I hope you can give me last place or 10th/11th wherever i had to quit. I will be less distracted next round.
 
Well that quickly went from one my best ever starts to a horrific fall through the field....

I couldn't do that any longer, I was getting too angry and I was going to break the steering wheel...
 
All but 4 apparently got booted around the lap 11 mark

Update: Joe says he's going to call it a red flag, though unsure the exact position to ensure fairness.

RED FLAG - Lap 7 to 10


Pending Results Report to be issued to the stewards in the next 24hrs. More than %60 of the race was complete before the big blow out that wipe our room and most of our FR lists as well,.. GT6 w/ Sony system update is my best guess to the recent connection problems this weekend!!!
 
Willfred_1
sorry my internet cut out last night not sure why

Seems to be the whole world wide is having a Fiber Optic's problem lately. I haven't dropped a whole room in quite a min now, and then I get 2 in a row! :confused:👎
 
Hey Joe I don't want to rush... but can we know some details of the next race in Le Mans? Number of laps/time & weather conditions... Since is only in 6 days I want to try some laps and strategies 👍

...maybe you can push it a week after on June 23rd to let people practise well for this?

Hmmmm, and your driving standards seriously need sorting, Blame your hand all you like but if you left your appendage alone for an hour you'll find your hand can operate other things, I thought you were leaving a gap for me to overtake so I went for it, then you try run me off the road down the back straight, then spin me in turn 2, great attitude mate, you are out of the WEC so don't plan on returning,

What a disaster, Lap 5 killed me, car would jump sideways and or spin for no reason, even on straights, started to take 14 seconds a lap out of the leader then I caught that bone head,

I can handle lag, I can handle stupidity, but being an outright ass hat! I will not tolerate!
 
Dave you wrecked my race too... pit maneuvering me in the dark and then ramming me off the road... I'm sorry for retaliating, I am. It was rash and that but you did take me out twice. You also took me off on lap 4 when I was coming back toward you and Joe... You could have throttled back and let it run straight, instead you floored it and slammed me into the grass...

The spin at turn 2 wasn't actually on purpose, I had come out of the corner and the back end came out...

If you hadn't had flattened me the previous lap I would have had waited for you...

Also mate, say all you like - my left hand has nothing to do with that, it is childish to say such things...
 
Please guys calm down, Nurb 24h is very narrow and this is always a problem on this track
 
I got disconnected soon after Will, about lap 5-6 :grumpy: I was having a nightmare of a race anyway, sorry to anyone I caused problems with at the start of the race, remember guys this is suppose to be an endurance series if your quicker than the person infront you will get chances to overtake over these long races. so theres no need for the banzai first lap first corner first opportunity moves that I experienced last night on the GPF part of the track on lap 1 :banghead: your move was clean tho joe, you got past me cleanly on the straight.

I'm with gprilli nurb24 is not the best track to race on, its just not wide enough to have good battles

Lap 4? I think it was lap 3 when I watched you completely nerfed Joe into the grass, Why should I wait? you didn't for Joe, You were over aggressive all race,

Please guys calm down, Nurb 24h is very narrow and this is always a problem on this track

There is no problem if the people use the item installed during the process of life called birth, the item is the brain, I have done the 24 hour here in 18 hours of rain, patience is the key, and I seen stuff all of that here, even Joe I felt was aggressive with his move on me running up to the karousel on lap 2, but both of us have awareness of each other, and due to that made the move stick,

Yes, with this connection issue creeping up how it did, seeing as it started with Will then continued its march so slowly,
This issue is an absolute mess, regarding championship points and stuff, someone is eventually going to get somewhat unfairly screwed,
I am going to view the replay soon, and will put it up for share to those who want it, PM me and I will give you details on which to get it from,
 
I'm going to say this now
I am leaving the series for several reasons
1. Driving standards
Every race I have competed in I have been forced off the track or into a wall at least once I understand that some of it is lagg but for 95% its used as a get out clause. This is not a problem for faster drivers but Im a slow guy and so I end up at the back
2. Connections
The sucesess of this series is its own downfall on paper it's highly appealing and should be good but having drivers who are based further that outer mongolia means my line is under enormous load I suspect a lot of my problems is caused by my ISP trying to reduce the bandwidth load on the lines.
These two are the main factors that have ruined the series for me as it now more of a chore. The formula is very good and almost everyone has good standards and friendliness but I am going to leave and focus on joes gt500
Hope every one has a good time And remember bumper cam has a mirror so I can see things like a jag ramming me off

After the Nurburg race I had to g into family mode but today all the results go up. But off top I believe 300km is 22 laps. We will do either 20 laps or 22 laps at the most. Will start the same time as Nurburg which was 12pm and a slightly faster progression of 14. I'm simualting tonight so ill post the final room settings tonight but at least that will get you started! : tup:
