FRL (Furi's Race Leagues): Phase #1 On PS3 2011-2015... Phase 2 Incoming...

[Furinkazen]

Clios are fun too, nice to throw around without a care in the world. Perfect for the gang here.

And Clios and Juniors are on the real life bill , you got PS4 version?

Yes, but I'm at a disadvantage by not having a wheel. And I don't feel like buying a new one yet.

Poor show not mentioning @mrmelancholy15 or @freshseth83

I was recently saddened to hear about the passing of one of GTPlanet's premier motorsport series. Along with the death of the great series known as ToCA, it's time to say goodbye to a few more residents...

I first competed in @rolo912011's BTCC Series way back in Season 4 in February 2013 with the privateer team, Humberside Racing. Come Season 5 and Season 6, the team began to expand into one of the larger and more competitive teams on the field, helping to bring Ford to its manufacturer's title in Season 5. We had some very good talents over them times including good friends who I had met in general GT5 lounges.

As well as some other oddments that HSR has took part in, our other main focus was the ToCA Series led by @Furinkazen where we ran as the Works Team for Renault with the Megane for a number of Seasons. Some great talents also came through the team including @Andil, @rolo912011 as well as a whole list of others. The Renault wasn't always the strongest but I felt it brought a great amount of character to the Series, and I really enjoyed being part of the ToCA Campaign with Renault.

However, after a personal tragedy in September 2014, I took some time away from the track and was planning on making a return in an upcoming Season of ToCA. However, this was not to be. So alongside the death of ToCA, I took the difficult decision to hang up the racing boots and gracefully lay HSR to rest. My time with Online Racing has now passed, and with many personal opportunities on the horizon, I felt it was for the right reasons. Soon, I shall be no longer active on PlayStation Network as I shall be selling my PlayStation 3 onto a new home, to make space in my office space to expand and be able to achieve more ambitions in life.

I would like to thank everyone who has took the time and dedication to support myself and the team throughout these last few years, especially the hosts and superior drivers who have took the time to help me improve my skills behind the wheel and improve my general race craft. Most of all, thank you everyone for making GTPlanet racing such a great thing to be a part of!

I also have posted a farewell message on the HSR Website: http://humbersideracing.webs.com/

Thank-You guys for everything, god bless you all.

For all the jokes, and the fact you were generally the Rob Austin of the field (team boss who can be quick, but also is a bit of a twit on track ), it has been damn great fun Jason. Thank you for your time, it's appreciated and certainly, you'll be a character around the FRL Paddock who will be missed. Good luck Jason.



Furi.

 

[nascarfan1400]

A fitting curtain call. I had a short experience in TOCA, But it was fun to take part and be in the books one way or another. Thanks for the opportunity Furi.

 

[FlyingFox]

Just a quick note that another series is in development for later this year once Furi hangs up his racing suit on GT6.

 

[LancerEvo7]

I have a little something in the works as well

Furi.

Many thanks Furi, although I will no longer be on the track, I will still be around the paddock occasionally with my little Laguna and some crates of beer (for after the races)!

 

[MatheusBond]

I don't do GT6 anymore, but in case you guys have a PS4, I play Project CARS pretty often and Driveclub looks fun as well.

I'm waiting for the Laguna in PCARS...

 

[Furinkazen]

In July the FRL joins a new generation: PS4 and Project CARS for fun, casual, and high quality racing.

Stay tuned for more!!

Thanks to @FlyingFox for the new logo!​

 

[FlyingFox]

LMP2 testing going well. 1 more car to purchase and test then I can move on to another testing track.

All cars within a 10th of a second.

This picture is meaningless and should absolutely be ignored

I'd like to take this opportunity and gauge people's interest in the previously hinted at Historic Touring Car Cup. If nobody else is hosting it, I might actually do it myself, because I'd sure like to have some fun in these babies. I'm completely open to suggestions as to which day and what time-slot most people prefer, if there's enough interest.

Here's some cornerstones of what you could expect:
- Sports Hard tyres
- Racing Soft Suspension for RWD (so no setups necessary apart from gears)
- Racing Hard Suspension & LSD for FWD (I'm open to discussion about whether or not to include FWD cars)
- Cars are BoP'd and average at about 200hp & 800kg.
- Used tracks are open to suggestion
- As a race format I would be leaning towards 2 30-minute races with reverse grid.

I'm not seeing this as a hardcore series that should be taken too seriously, but good driving standards would be expected nevertheless.

As a reminder, these are the cars that would be used (although please mentally cross out the Gordini and the VW 1200 as I couldn't bring them enough in line with the others)...

I'd be there in the Spitty!

 

[FlyingFox]

Bags the Celica!!

 

[Furinkazen]

Return of an old friend coming soon @Carbonox @FlyingFox .

 

[LancerEvo7]

Return of an old friend coming soon @Carbonox @FlyingFox .

We missed @DaxCobra.

 

[DK]

Dammit, no C10 GT-R?

 

[Yeratel84]

If I do end up racing the Historics, I'll most likely do it with an Alfa...

 

[LancerEvo7]

I'd take the Fairlady. Loved that car on GT4 and would love a chance to finally race it, like on GT5 where I got to race a Lancer Evo VII in a VLN race.

 

[FlyingFox]

Return of an old friend coming soon @Carbonox @FlyingFox .

[Carbonox]

Return of an old friend coming soon @Carbonox @FlyingFox .

Welcome back in advance @Akmuq.

Germany: Nurburgring GD P
Japan: Tsubuka or Motegi
Italy: Monza 80's or Rome

Other Tracks
Autumn Ring
Apricot Hill

BH GP 80's was definitely one that came to mind for me as well. I also like Motegi (probably East) for these cars. Rome is also a good idea. Was thinking some more tracks that have that "vintage" feel to it.

 

[Furinkazen]

I'm planning 3-5 weeks. Saturdays of course.

 

[raceorama123432]

So I will make it to 200 FRL races

 

[Scaniabebe]

In recent weeks since the departure of HSR, I've returned to my roots and got back behind the wheel!

Yes, I know, it's not a Renault. But now I have no manufacturer contacts, did you really expect me to drive a Renault truck?
