Guys who want to race today, read this:

Race starts @ 8pm EDT

6pm EDT - 8pm EDT Qualifying Format (Room is open practice when not qualifying):

Btw, if you have a wing or different exhaust or anything not to spec at all, you will not be allowed to qualify or race so make sure you read the first post.
One or two (depending on room size) chosen drivers go out one at a time (to give eachother room). When the qualifying session begins on track, one driver will be chosen to start their out lap first and the second driver will be told to hold on the line for 20 seconds until they can start.

All other visitors in the room will be watching the driver(s) to make sure their laps are clean. The room will be set to a 4 lap race. Only laps 2 and 3 will count as qualifying "flying lap" times.

We're gonna be focusing on racing clean, not fast. OLR rules apply but there are no points or positions to be awarded for the regular season, thanks.

Room's up:

I had forgotten how much fun Miatas were to drive. Good stuff.

 

[Wardez]

Yeah man, it looked like you three up front had an epic race. Stayed close from what I could tell. But that finish! Man - this is what SM racing is all about.


Thanks to everyone who showed up. Brosif's putting up a pic of the results soon. We'll put up quali. results too.

Fastest lap was a 1:17.072 by Jett. Crazy wicked.

I was really happy when I saw Neomone and Egghead bump in, didn't expect that. Made the race jusssst right.

Many 👍's to all, Cheers I'm off to work.

I didn't expect to be there either. Was out of town this week, and was just reading this thread like 10 minutes before the race was supposed to start
Luckily home office allowed for a 0 minute commute today
Didn't help my qualifying at all, but it was good fun to join in on the fun and break in my new car a bit 👍

[BrosifDuder]

I'll post all of that stuff in the morning. I backed out of the replay by accident on lap 21 so I will get a picked of the finish tomorrow. I did manage to get some other good photos before I exited the replay, though, and I will also post those in the morning.

Great racing!

As the only one driving NB during the practice race and coming last I feel like defending the car. On those few laps I didn't spin out the car felt decent, and I don't think I was loosing too much time. So, it's not the car.

I picked one up out of the UCD after the race. I'm meaning to give it a blast around GVE reverse later on today and see if I can roughly match times to what I could achieve in the NA.

 

[filphil89]

If people are in the room I can drop by right now. Hopefully y'all reply soon?

 

[Wardez]

Room went down a while ago I think filp. You should add stig though, they're always racing late nights.

AND BTW YES! Webber's on top on the first day of F1 in Melbourne! (Sorry, I'm gonna keep hijacking threads with F1 news 'cause I don't like the F1 sub-forum) Looks like Seb's too busy crying about how many buttons he has to push in order to drive the car.

But I shouldn't talk too much... quali's just around the corner and we all know how Seb does there. I'm also glad Ferrari's right behind again Alonso was a full second off. But practice isn't a great indicator of true pace anyway (everyone uses different fuel loads and tires - all hards today), I'm just excited 'cause Webber bipped Vettel on his very last lap out. I just need my boy Sergio to up his game a bit then it'll be perfect

 

[filphil89]

Where do you watch your f1 stuff?

 

[Wardez]

It was on Speed tv's website.

Btw guys, I'm hoping RT can chime in here soon to let us know how GTA went and let us know when the pre-season race will be. Next Thursday we're doing a practice race @ Suzuka East (throw back) But maybe not... Maybe we could all vote...

Back to work...

 

[CodeRedR51]

Ok guys, sorry for not keeping up on this. No internet connection in the hotel (unless you wanted to pay $10 a day) so I'm still trying to get caught up on things. Here we go...

I am pretty sure I did the window weight reduction on both of the '04 1600s and they worked out to a perfect 389PP. Maybe Turbo forgot to put them in his graphic.

Nope, left it out on purpose. Didn't want to give the car any more advantage with another weight reduction.

I'm currently runnin' the '89 Miata and I've decided to leave the chassis reinforcement off for now, as it's irreversable, so was just curious to get peoples opinions on this. Is it worth adding, negligible or a hindrance?

Chassis reinforcement is required to run in the series regardless of whether or not it actually affects the vehicle's performance.

👍👍

Why would someone have to upgrade fully? I mean as long as they didn't have any illegal mods, not having a racing air filter or sport cat is only going to put them at a disadvantage

If it's on the list, it's on your car. Anything more or less is illegal and will get you DQ'd from racing until you fix it.

What I have gathered from Turbo and the mindset of the sporting regulations is that this series is a "Spec" series, in that, all vehicles of a particular model are identical in how they are prepared for competition.

Exactly.

I saw that! TOTALLY not what I was expecting.

Hey now!

He looks exactly as I was expecting. He also looks super excited to be there, as does everyone else. I bet he isn't digging on the constant media annoyance.

Pretty much. It's only going to get worse, so I'll just have to suck it up and deal with it. If it's the head shot you are talking about, I had to re-do it like 10 times for them. That's probably why I don't look so happy...

Edit: Just thought I'd post here a big congrats to R1600Turbo for making it to the top 16 in GT Academy. 👍

Thanks! I'll try to post of a thread or something a bit later.

Well then I just wasted 8 hours testing/tuning... Probably for the best, because online with the full 389pp the NB was semi-competitive time trialling but severely handicapped when subjected to wheel to wheel racing's nudges and dynamic lines. With only 387-388pp, it'd be even worse

For some odd reason my replay didn't save properly I get "replay data corrupt" when I try to click on it... Could you check what happened to me in turn 3 please? I'm still a bit sore about bein 15 seconds behind after 3 turns...

Turbo I thought your headshot looked magnificent

edit - oh and if you feel like saying that I didn't quali at all I'd be ok with that

Sorry. Could have waited until I got back and asked.

 

[BrosifDuder]

Does anyone know if Egghead got around VELOCI_2NR for 4th before the end of the race last night?

I am finishing up the results and will post soon.

Ew Webber. Seriously?

 

[filphil89]

I'm keeping an eye out for practice tonight.

Other than that the live streaming of f1 practice session three starts at 11pm est so I'll kindly take some time off for that as well.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Anyone else need an '04 1600? I just purchased another one.

 

[filphil89]

Hook it up! lol

Practice Race 1 - Grand Valley East Reverse​

Here are the results from last night's practice race. I apologize in advance for any mistakes and also for not having midiman007's qualifying times. I didn't get to write down his times because we qualified in the same session. Also, I failed to take a picture of the final results immediately after the race so the results I used were from the instant replay just before I crossed the finish line to end the race. If any passes for position were made on the last lap they won't be properly reflected. I guess that is why we have practice races.

I also snapped some photos but sadly I missed a lot of prime photo ops because I was too busy watching all the excitement. Some of the cars looked pretty beat up at the end of the race, no doubt because of the T1 & T2 complex.

Darn forgot egg beat me for the most improved from quali
