FPM Season 3 schedule and standings.

I thought you had problems with your wheel when I saw you shoot across the front of me. That was so close...could have been a bad wreck.

To bad it wasnt because then I would have won haha jk, I remember seeing that, I was so close to Wiggs that I think if he got hit my reaction would have caused me to ccrash to, and then we wouldnt have had such an intense/close race.

and then we wouldnt have had such an intense/close race.

Yeah almost ruined your race I already ruined hennesseys, I was on strike

Just ran a 57.7xx. 431st on the overall leaderboard.

I might be able to squeeze and couple tenths but that's about it. Now I wait for someone to put me back in my place like last week.

Well I'm dumb. For some reason that is beyond me, I thought it was the "Extreme" version of the track haha. Ive already been testing it out to lol.

So I am not the only one (did the same thing last track).

I love this track by the way, the tracks where you can take the turns so naturally and quickly are always a blast, must be why I favor Maple Valley so much too!

Its ok because It looks like I one-uped you. I did it both times haha.

 

[katpeeler]

Ya see me Wiggs???

[Thatman]

Ok Fork1, I say your going to be around top 600. My guess...

I try later today Never driven with an R2 car on that track I think!

 

[Forcone]

Hehehe... Have to see tonight after work how the 'Stang handles those corners...! 👍

I haven't been on the Box since yesterday morning. I'm still learning the track, but I'll see what I can do.

According to the leaderboard you haven't. I hadn't either until yesterday. Boy let me tell you it's a really fast track. Took me about an hour and a half to get my lap.

That's a long time! I just got back from work, going to chill out for a bit and give the car some spanking after that

Maybe we can run some laps together?

 

[Wiggs]

Ya see me Wiggs???

Done and dusted Kat. Still getting a feel for the track and trying to get my build/tune where it needs to be. I'm less than .3 behind Hamster and .6 behind Loaded. Pretty sure I can make it up once things come together for me....until Forcone lays down an unbeatable time.

Maybe we can run some laps together?

Sure. Invite me if you see me on in the next few days. 👍

 

[katpeeler]

Good times..been playing with my tune and is doing pretty good....gonna tweak it a little and see what it can do.....Man this track will be tight with the R2's flying around

Very much so. The thing I noticed from last weeks race is that when I am approaching the B class is I am very cautious, this is easier when I am not worrying about another R2 rival (not likely with me LOL) but I also can afford to take a risk passing as damage will not occur....whether it is due to contact with another driver, wall or shifting too soon/late. Too bad I couldn't turn damage on just for me, it makes the race that much more intense.

 

[Carlos]

Damage on would be cool but you saw last race what can happen with lag. Hennessey and Silent wouldn't be that happy if that happend again Ofcourse we could restart but that's taking too much time.

6 hours of Silverstone is live on MotorsTV btw. After 4 hours and 132 laps Totota is only 20 seconds behind and Wurz is going to do the last stint and he is on fire with that car!

Edit:
I was thinking, it isn't that crazy to think the winner of this race is going to be in the next DLC, but only if Totota wins since we already have the R18. The last Merces C group car was the winner of classic le Mans. And there already is a Toyota endurance car so they know how to contact Toyota..

Looks like Forcone is going to break 1:10 soon lol. I havnt altered my tune at all yet so hopefully when I start I can atleast get around low 1:11's

 

[katpeeler]

Damn you Forcone.....thats fast

 

[Forcone]

Nah, not very likely to happen.. That was a pretty decent lap. Although with exactly same tune as the Hockenheim, so there could be a few tenths to gain with proper tuning..! 👍

Damn you Forcone.....thats fast

Thank you sir!

 

[Wiggs]

I made some progress and was able to edge a little in front of the Hamster. I'm sure he'll improve his time though....good thing is, I left a few tenths on the track. I just need to figure out where to find them. I think I can pass Loaded's current time, but Forcone is out of reach for me.

 

[Thatman]

What? I should get second again....... I think I need a smidgen less DF.

 

[Wiggs]

Well, Kat and the Hamster have passed me. Back to work. ***EDIT***-Managed to get the same exact time as Loaded....I'm higher on the boards by 1 position though, so I'm in 2nd place for now. I can't go much faster...maybe a tenth or 2 at most....my car just doesn't have the grip.

 

[Carlos]

Sweet battle you guys having. Still have to put in a time but I need time for that.....

 

[katpeeler]

Yeah I had the time this weeked to put some time in on the track and that is probably the best time I can get....Ive been messing with my gear ratio's to do better.......But I dont know enough about them to help..seems like it makes me slower when I mess with them....Any tips Wiggs???

 

[Forcone]

The main reason I chose my car was its "torquey" engine -> no need for drive train upgrades! Any gear, any revs, instant POWERRRR! 4 gears also means less shifting, which means less errors.

Sorry, that didn't probably help. Do you shift with clutch? If not, then you probably won't even need all of those 6 gears since changing gears slows you down a bit. Might be wrong though, haven't tested that thoroughly.

 

[katpeeler]

^^^...I beleive you could out run me in a Smartfortwo with a powerglide transmission

 

[Forcone]

Hardly!! You've improved a lot during this time you've been in FPM, I think you're a pretty competitive driver nowadays!

 

[katpeeler]

I forgot your not Amurican so you might not know the joke behind the "Powerglide transmission"....Thanx for the complament...I do feel like Ive gotten a little faster....Thanx to faster guys in here that are pushing me....
