FRL~INDYCAR~ Plux Runs Out Of Fuel.... After He Takes The Chequers At The Motegi 300!Finished

[Ninners]

Best lap: 19.6

Would have done a 19.3 in quali but for a mistake.

 

[LancerEvo7]

Lancer's WSC Season Summary: DNS.

Fixed.

 

[Furinkazen]

I think we know that open wheelers you got to be careful in. So take this seriously:

@Furinkazen - 5 point penalty for careless driving throughout race.
@CAMikaze - 5 point penalty for careless driving throughout race.
@Pluxtheduck - Warning (for avoidable contact)
@LancerEvo7 - Warning (for avoidable contact)
@gokartman78 - Warning (lag)
@hsv - Disqualified for taking out Lancer on purpose on Lap 60 coming onto the Oval banking.

If someone can get leader laps to me within next 48 hours, sooner I can tell you who's locked in for the Indy 500.

 

[Roflwaffle]

I gain a place. Nice.

 

[Furinkazen]

This (subject to bonus pts) also means a 3 way tie for 11th. However I am locked in as host, leaving 4 Q spots for the 500 if it remains as it is.

 

[Ninners]

Was a good race. Spurgy went a bit wide and I had to cut the grass to avoid and we tapped and he lost the rear abit. Overshot T1 and had a bad rejoin which could have been worse(sorry!). Passed Joe and later had a downshift issue so the thing went down the 1st putting me in a half spin costing me 9 seconds. Only other drama was some scraps with Spurgy and HSV.

 

[Panoz]

Had a decent race myself, made a awesome start off the line but made slight contact with @Pluxtheduck halfway on the first lap. Wheel damage wasn't bad but it was costing me a second per lap. A few mistakes later put me at the same place as I started, 8th.

 

[Spurgy 777]

Had a disappointing race, hadn't been in the car for around 2 weeks so struggled to keep it on track all race, that with double downshifting spinning me a couple of times, combined with being forced to do an extra stop because of an early spin, meant I was lucky to get 4th. Hopefully Indy 500 goes better next week.

 

[CAMikaze]

Race Summary

Gets run into by @CAMikaze, had to start from the pit lane, race screwed, had to take the dog for a walk.

I think we know that open wheelers you got to be careful in. So take this seriously:

@Furinkazen - 5 point penalty for careless driving throughout race.
@CAMikaze - 5 point penalty for careless driving throughout race.
@Pluxtheduck - Warning (for avoidable contact)
@LancerEvo7 - Warning (for avoidable contact)
@gokartman78 - Warning (lag)
@hsv - Disqualified for taking out Lancer on purpose on Lap 60 coming onto the Oval banking.

Sorry about that.

Bricking it

 

[MatheusBond]

Fixed.

Basically applies to my current ToCA season as well. Will be broken at Apricot Hill.

 

[Furinkazen]

Simply awful season for me so far.

 

[gokartman78]

Simply awful season for me so far.

What happened to you going into the hairpins at 1hr 36 mins? I looked back and you just shot across the grass into the wall

Lost concentration and in all honesty lost the car and tyres. Wouldn't handle at all all night. And I was shocking as well.

Be back for Indy with new chassis, paint scheme, and ready for a better run though

 

[Pluxtheduck]

Gahh that was a circus ride...

Great start, smallest contact with panoz (I don't think either of us were at fault the), couple of laps in I get into the back of Sig cos he checked up far harder than I expected him too and nowhere to go with the entire track blocked. Recover to top 5, have a terrible second half of the race

Yes the incident with Sig was my fault but to say I deserve the harshest penalty is massively otp mate... It was not malicious in anyway

 

[chrisjohnson93]

Sorry I had to miss the race guys, had to download the game on the other PS3 as the PS3 I usually use is doesn't work on SD TV's as the HD TV is being used for the World Cup.

Got the patches sorted but have to do the updates on game which I'll try and do this week

 

[Ninners]

Be back for Indy with new chassis, paint scheme, and ready for a better run though

Why would you waste that much money?

 

[Furinkazen]

Why would you waste that much money?

I have 24 million, can afford 2 million for a new FGT.

The joys of being filthy rich.

FRL INDIANAPOLIS 500 QUALIFYING
After the CHEVROLET GRAND PRIX OF INDIANAPOLIS, The top #12 in pts will be locked in and the remaining 4 spots will be qualified in on speed. Note this will be 3 spots if I am in the danger zone - it has been suggested to me in PM by some that I should get a guaranteed spot as host.

These "danger zone" drivers may qualify anytime during the week. All that is required is 2 drivers including at least 1 from another team to be present in the lobby watching.

Lobby settings will be usual race settings, with 6 laps being set on the lap counter, from a grid start. Lap #1 is to bring you up to pace, with #2, #3, #4, and #5 counting as laps. Lap #6 is a warmdown lap.

The average across all 4 laps will be used as your time. Please post lap time to the thousandth - 31.652 is fine, 31.65 is not. Please post all lap times like this:

Lap #1 = xx.xxx
Lap #2 = xx.xxx
Lap #3 = xx.xxx
Lap #4 = xx.xxx
Average = xx.xxx

I will do a spreadsheet later in the week for recording times officially, and I myself will also be available from around 9pm BST onwards online most of the week to see laps myself.

Should you fail to complete a lap / wreck, you will have a +1 second penalty applied to your time per lap (this is to prevent people posting potentially 1 or 2 blinders and then stacking it in the wall on purpose to prevent there average from rising). Note that you may only attempt Qualifying once through the week - no re-runs permitted.

The Qualifying deadline is 7pm BST 22nd June - basically when room opens for the FRL INDIANAPOLIS 500. However as a bonus, 5 points will be awarded to people who attempt to qualify but do not make the race.

FRL INDY LIGHTS FREEDOM 100
Saturday night just after the ToCA race, at approx 10pm BST will be a 40 lap Indy Lights event in the WSR Ralt F3 from the Senna tribute.

People who will need to Qualify for the 500:

@Matty @smuffyatfcp @CAMikaze @RedPartyhat @gtpanoz @hsv @chrisjohnson93 @R0ssingt0n @Yeratel84 @SagarisGTB @MatheusBond @cnd01 @Ganon83 @Niop @JakobNascar88

 

[Bo]

Can I apologise for driving like a little 🤬 last night?

 

[Furinkazen]

Sure but won't change anything.

 

[Bo]

I know, I fully deserve the disqualification.

[Ninners]

Bad time mate. Could well mean you have to qualify for the 500.

If someone can get leader laps to me within next 48 hours, sooner I can tell you who's locked in for the Indy 500.

Should be me. I led for more than half the race.

hadn't been in the car for around 2 weeks

Same. Only time I drove it before the race was just to double check gear ratios so only did 1 lap.

Must admit I was praying for no caution because you looked very fast.

 

[Bo]

Bad time mate. Could well mean you have to qualify for the 500.

I do. Knew I would have to.

 

[Roflwaffle]

I ain't complaining. Gained a place, and I'm locked in for the 500

 

[Furinkazen]

@FlyingFox to compete under the Vulpus banner at Indianapolis, and @Ninners to be scoring points for RPM.

 

[Bo]

@Ninners to be scoring points for RPM.

Desperation level = team switcheroo
