I'll be there today! Hopefully the start gets off on time so I don't miss too much of the beginning of the NASCAR race, but I'll just record it so no big deal.
 
Woohoo! I'll be there in time!
With the final whistle, I started my full sprint from the stadium to the bus station and I'm already half way home ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
Maybe even enough time for a quick snack :dopey:

Great race! Exciting to finish 2.9 seconds behind HEMI after 1 hour of intense racing!
Just like last time, in the beginning I felt like I was alone on the track: faster than the 4th and the rest, but couldn't keep up with the two in front of me.
In lap 8, HEMI received a penalty in "Della Roggia" (second chicane) and I was able to pass.
@HEMIata , in lap 9 after the same chicane, I wanted to let you pass as you seemed to be much faster. Didn't want to be a factor in the battle for the lead between you and raikkon. Maybe it was not the best tactic to go off the line. For you it must have been looking like I was trying to block you.. Sorry!
Enjoyed the race! Only fair drivers who did behave very nice while being lapped :cheers:
So, I am very pleased with the 2nd place with only a little bit of practice yesterday. Looking forward to next Sunday! :gtpflag:
 
Thermite's Post Race Show

That was a very exciting race overall! I had very little confidence coming into this one, as it had been one of my worst real world tracks. I was pretty slow and unstable in yesterday's practice, but today I put gurizzi's setup in and it helped a lot! So I qualified 6th, which I was pretty satisfied with. Everyone was pretty close, and it was nice to see an almost full field. Congrats on the pole, raikkon!

I was very relieved to make it through the start of the race cleanly. Bladerunner didn't have a great start, so I just tip-toed behind him through the first chicane and prayed no one hit me. Luckily everything settled down after lap 1. Think I had some good racing with gibbs during that segment, but then he went off course and I was alone again. I slowly worked my way from 6th to 4th, and then pitted with 39 minutes to go. Went from RM to RH here.

When that set of pit stops cycled through, I came out in 3rd, but then I was soon hit in the right rear by the lapped verplazer, who could not see me. That gave me damage and slowed my pace down by 2-3 seconds, but I was able to hold on until my next pit stop. Went from RH back to RM with 22 minutes to go.

I came out of the pits in about 8th or 9th place, and hoped that I would be able to cycle back to the top 5 once everyone else pitted. It took way longer than I thought it would, but that did work out. I was back to I believe 4th inside 10 minutes to go. However, the guys that pitted late had fresher tires at this point, so I had a hard charging gurizzi and KPGignac behind me. Gurizzi got around me with no problem, and then it was me and KPGignac left to battle it out for the final spot in the top 5. After the final chicane on the final lap, I took a defensive line, but I didn't know if the move I made would have been considered blocking, so I pulled back to the left. That let KPGignac get alongside me, and as I attempted a crossover move in the final turn, he ran out of fuel! So I came home 5th. Not my best finish, but I was definitely happy with it after how that race went haha. Congrats HEMI! Keep lowering that hp so we can catch you!
 
A miserable mistake at lap 3 , pit stop , and push push till the end , I could take the 5th if I didn't run out of fuel lol . 7th at the end , not bad with the best lap during the race , 1'45"4xx , don't remember exactly . Great race all , congrats HEMI , and that was fun (again ) with Guri , pit stop at 5min of the end
 
Hello, ALL !!! ----

Thanks to ALL who participated & finished this GT3 Club event!

Great drive by HEMIata! sounds like you guys had some good battles up front!

--- It was an amazing race! With 15 players on the grid I had more then enough fun negotiating my way through the pack! I started on RH tires and took my first pit-stop around 20min into the race when my fuel tank was about empty, put on RM & said "LEH-HEH-HEH-ETS GOOO!". I did set my Trans. a little too short:dunce::dunce::dunce: & was struggling into turn 1 cuz I was bouncing off the 'rev limiter', sorry to anyone who had an issue with me there! :nervous:. I had many battles with everyone! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘, I saw all cars except HEMI :lol::lol::lol:. Also, a great drive by gibbsgto! Last time I saw him he was facing me in the 'Parabolica curve' :scared: & ended up with a 3rd place podium spot! :cheers:. I was having a great battle with p4n-sh0 at the end of the race but, my Trans. was really effected our timing into turn 1. I would get around him then we would stack back up in turn 1 & make things real 'clunky'. I out braked myself into the second the chicane & barely avoided a penalty but, I also was going to over shoot the exit so I had to 'stab' the brake on the 'rumble strip' & p4n-sh0 had no where to go except into my right rear, sorry that's on me! We both got damage & had to pit with about 6min to go.:nervous::nervous::nervous:. This made for a crowd pleasing finish! With my fresh tires I was able to close on thermite quickly! I got around him & as I was coming down the front stretch to the finish I took a look behind me & saw Gignac run out of fuel! :eek: Overall, great drive everyone! Lets hear those race reports! :D:D:D

Every race i find something new to f up. My garage was just after the entrance to the pits so pressed a wrong button and had no fuel added or tyres changed. Great :) an GT's problem is that you dont know how far away the car behind and in front is so lapped people dont have a clue of who is coming from behind so this time Verplazer decided that the safe way is to push me of the track at full speed on a last corner :) another bad race lol

Hello, zilva ---

I just want to let everyone know about verplazer2. He had a connection issue @ last minute. He was only able to see 9 cars during the race. I'm sorry about that, he is a very clean and understanding player. He just didn't see you and others had same problem. He is going to try & improve his connection before he races again. I will make sure to check with him so this does NOT happen again or to anyone else in the future!

--- About the pit-menu..I have also done that b4!!! so frustrating in a 1hour long event! Good qualifying & finish tho! cya next time!
 
Firstly I want to congatulate HEMIata for the victory.

Qualy:
Got a decent lap and manage to get the pole position, a bit unexpected, but certainly gurizzi's R8 setup helped me a lot. (BTW thanks for the excellent setup gurizzi ๐Ÿ‘)

Race:
Got a failry decent start and manage to keep HEMIata behind me for the first 20 minutes of the race.
I came in to the pits to serve my first pit-stop but I entered a bit to quick and the mechanics doesn't change my tires neither put fuel, so I have to make an extra pit-stop 1 lap later, wich was for sure a shame.

Then manage to keep focus on the race and made my way up to the field, but by the 3rd stop I put the RM's again, and I should've puted the RH, so I need to pit 1 lap before the end of the race to put the RH tires.

But all in all, it was a good race, and a very enjoying one, and pleased of how things go to be my first race in here.

Looking forward to the next one :gtpflag:

--- Mods: Engine up-grade/Turbo stage: Optional. Power limiter: optional.
--- Ballast: If the car you chose requires additional ballast, it is to your benefit. After you add your additional ballast make sure to adjust your ballast position. Once you have done this correctly the balance of your car will be improved & therefore easier to control!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Driver 'BoP'
HEMIata (-5hp) (total -10hp)

--- Driver reduction in power will last a minimum of 1 race. If the driver wins again, another -5hp will be added to the BoP . If the driver does NOT win the next race, the reduction will be lifted.

-- Driver 'BoP' reduction applies to the driver regardless of car choice.

Points & Transfer up-dates coming soon!....

*I'm having trouble getting the official results uploaded because for some reason when I open the 'live timing scoring' on the replay my ps3 freezes. This happened 3 times in a row. I will give it a try again tonight. (sorry for delay)

Same here, PS3 freezes if i access 'live timing' in replay.

Also shows most cars as very heavy damage late into the race, so replay file has issues.
 
Sorry for the late report.

Congrats to @Alfa_Avanti44 for getting pole ๐Ÿ‘

Had a blast racing with Raikkon and Gappasson for the lead. Made a few mistakes that got me penalties but one almost ended my race :scared: got crossed up braking into turn one and almost hit the wall at a speed and angle that would have given me major damage but luckily missed it :sly: I didn't realize that 5 hp reduction would affect me so much on the straights, I couldn't even pass with the slip stream :eek: probably should have dropped my down force some more and now I'm gonna be down 10 hp :banghead: ahh the joys of victory :lol: great race all!


@HEMIata , in lap 9 after the same chicane, I wanted to let you pass as you seemed to be much faster. Didn't want to be a factor in the battle for the lead between you and raikkon. Maybe it was not the best tactic to go off the line. For you it must have been looking like I was trying to block you.. Sorry!


No Problem Gappasson. :cheers:

Questions for @gurizzi

1 - if I don't win the next race do I gain back 5 hp or 10 hp?
2 - if I don't participate in the next race does that count as not winning?

Hey, HEMI ! ---

1 - No matter how many HP reductions you receive, once you finish 2nd or worse, ALL of your reductions are lifted.
2- If you miss a race, your reduction will be waiting at the next one!
