FPM Season 3 schedule and standings.

[MuchoJimbo]

Don't get too close to the inside or else you'll hit a slow zone!

True. Definitely worse than hitting the wall IMO.

 

[Carlos]

OK, I think I've found my final build, now it is just up to tuning it properly... 670kW/1189kg on stock tyre compound. It's a bit of a wild ride. Tops out at 296km/h on straights..! Now off to work, have to try again in the evening!

That's an higer topspeed than what my NSX normally does! Crazy! I haven't done any testing yet, wanted to do it today before work. Butttt I woke up at 2:50 pm 🤬 And I have to start working at 2:30 pm Yes, I overslept, for a day shift

Patrick, Def, what topspeeds are you guys reaching?

 

[MuchoJimbo]

I think I am getting 195mph or so.

 

[katpeeler]

You've brought the wrong car...is what I'd like to say, but I won't rub it in....and I'm sure you'd make me eat my words later. Seriously guys, just let me have my moment....I haven't had very many of them in the first 2 championship series. Forcone, I doubt aerodynamics has much to do with it. Have you seen the E30? It's about as boxy as you can get. I have the fastest M3 on the boards, by the way.

Your right....you cant get Orange Juice from a Turnip...

Forcone, I think we just need to let Wiggs run in the front and hope he hits the wall on that Ill handling BMW

Beside that Mustang is now speed demon....its quick but not fast

 

[zr1chris]

I think I am getting 195mph or so.

And Fezz just messaged me on live and said he is only getting 193 which is still faster than me.

I tried everything. Unfortunately I can get rid of the brake and tire width upgrades but it doesn't drop me enough to pick up the last engine upgrade. Puts me into R1 no matter what. I was at 187 until I lowered my downforce completely and messed with the gears (which got me to 191). Looks like i''m going to be last this week.

 

[Fezz_ST]

I forgot I can get rid of tyre width and put the last restrictor in if I can't do that without going into R1 it's physically impossible for me to go faster

 

[MuchoJimbo]

Welcome to my every race............ahahahahahahahaha!

Yeah I may be able to get a little more speed so, not to jinx myself but I may be a top contender. This could also not be a factor (speed) due to the B class cars on the track which could cause some riff raff for us R2 drivers if we are not careful. Like I said earlier, even in my trial runs I had some issues getting to close to the wall, so hopefully this won't be an issue as I practice more, I may toss in some B Class AI just to get used to it.

 

[Carlos]

Why can't I check the times online? FM only shows the GP circuit

Anyway, I can't better my old time. My fastest today was a 47.545 🤬 But atleast faster than Chris and Fezz

edit:
D'oh! I automatically click circuit in the first box

Oh and I forgot to make a replay but I'll run a lap tonight if I don't forget

 

[imported_Jarreau]

I will be gone for two weeks, reason being that i will go to Orlando friday. We will be staying in Orlando for a week and in Miami for a week. I just wanted to let you guys know so that none of you would delete me lol. But yeah, I wont be online to race for two weeks. Everybody have a great season

Wow your going to be a couple hours away. Much closer than you are currently. Well have fun!


Anyhow im wishing I started the season with a Saturday race. Would have made both the first 2 races and wouldn't be missing this Friday's race. Looks like I will be missing most if not all of Friday's races from here on out seeing as how I just got a new job that starts tomorrow.

I live about 2 hours from Orlando, and I think Chris is closer than that to Miami. I'd invite you over for a beer if you weren't 10 years old. Have a good trip.

 

[katpeeler]

Congrats on the new job Chris

 

[Patrick]

What's your new job?

 

[zr1chris]

Yeah im about halfway between Orlando and Miami. Just a little closer to Orlando (about an hour and a half away).

New job is packaging and warehousing at a flour mill. Nothing special but after 90 days it pays $6 an hour more then i'm making now.

 

[Patrick]

Nice.

I might be headed to The Keys next year.

 

[Carlos]

Have a nice holiday Jarreau! 👍

Gongrats with the job Chris

Is it a problem if I make the replay a little later? I'm not coming home today..

 

[zr1chris]

Sure. 👍

 

[Wiggs]

I see that Forcone was able to improve his time quite a bit. You guys only have a few hours left to knock him back down a couple of notches.

 

[katpeeler]

I gave up days ago

 

[MuchoJimbo]

I gave up days ago

Got your message, I will work on it tomorrow evening after work.

I have this gut feeling that Chris, Carlos, Fezz and the rest of the gang are messing with me. They all agreed to wait until poor little Jimbo is asleep and minutes before the end of qualifying will upload their official times......

 

[ImaRobot]

I gave up days ago

Lol me to, my little Civic has no more room for improvement. I'll just have a long enough 6th gear and draft of anyone in front of me lol.

 

[zr1chris]

A few minutes early. If someone improves in the last 40 minutes just let me know.

Yeah I did... Didn't have time to run more laps yesterday, as I was playing Battlefield with friends... LoadedLove's time could've been achievable with a perfect lap but I couldn't manage that. Still don't have the nerves nor the accuracy Blaming it on the wheel and G25 pedals.... Not..

Honestly 900 hp, 1080kg with stock tires is a pretty hard combo to drive! No matter what the tire pressures are, the car wanders from side to side on the straights topping out at 300kph/186mph, then I have to trail brake (is that what it is called?) into the corner which is always quite difficult. A millimeter too much throttle and it becomes 130mph drifting session.. Not my race, this one!

If I happen to make the race, I'll put in something like a 2.5 final drive ratio and draft the R2 cars up to 200mph ... And end my and a few other player's race in a horrifying accident!

Nope, impossible for me to go any faster, the car handles like its on rails and can't get past 193 on the straights, just glad I didn't come last

 

[hennessey86]

Same here, the car handles great but I cant get past 192, so I Am hoping slip streaming will help a bit

3 races and 3 different pole sitters. I guess Loaded and Hamster will grab the next 2. Good job Jimbo...I think that's your highest qualifying spot so far.

I should make the race tomorrow. Please don't take me out with that drifting Mustang. I'll already be on edge trying to avoid the R2 cars.

 

[Carlos]

Sure. 👍

I'm at work now, I'll try to make one when I come home in about 9 hours or so..

I'm scared Forcone is going to overtake me, his topspeed his higher than mine

 

[Thatman]

I don't know when I got past 3rd it was before qualifying was done, but I got second after 11pm.

Have fun Jarreau!

Good job Chris!

 

[Wiggs]

Nice time there Hamster. I thought I'd cruise to an easy victory, as long as I could avoid the walls, sticky grass, and R2 cars. You guys are gonna make me work for it.

 

[Carlos]

It's starting within minutes right? Just got back home in time
