FRL~WSC IX - THE RACE: O'RAMA. GT-P CHAMPION: LANCEREVO7. GT-O CHAMPION: JAMMY21Open

[Panoz]

Even though the Ford been a pain in the ass this season, I've been ahead of Furi for the most part. 👍

 

[Ninners]

Wishing I had that set up for Bathurst. RBR I might sneak up there, and Le Mans - won't roll over and lose my crown that easily.

Last season at LM you were against Panoz, chris and Jammy in a slow Ford. Had Joe been there he would have most likely won

 

[raceorama123432]

If I win at Le Mans I will be the first person to win there in 3 Classes (PT, GT & ST), kappa

 

[LancerEvo7]

If

Would I be the first to win PT and GT?

 

[chrisjohnson93]

I was around the same pace if not quicker than @Furinkazen at Least Mans last season but made 1 more stop so it would of been close as he backed off towards the end of the race.

I out qualified you with ease and took you apart in the race and despite 3 spins had a lead of 90 seconds over you. So no, I beat you easily.

@chrisjohnson93 Do you still use automatic gears?

I would have certainly pushed him.

Push where? Off track? You naughty, naughty boy...

Spank his bottom Yera

 

[Yeratel84]

Spank his bottom Yera

Nah, I'm like one of those rich parents who hire someone else to do the parenting... maybe that's why he turned the way he did...

 

[chrisjohnson93]

@chrisjohnson93 Do you still use automatic gears?

Yes I use manual gears still after a brief stint using manual gears during the last WSC season

No wonder the Jag is so slow(?)

 

[Furinkazen]

No wonder Chris is so slow(?)

Sorry Chris, fact is you don't improve by using automatic.

 

[LancerEvo7]

Auto doesn't help any, but it hurts the Jag much less than the other two prototypes.

 

[raceorama123432]

Using Automatic gears will really hurt you under current specs. Mid-RPM turbo's do just that, work at mid-rpm. You should be shifting around 7000rpm or you'll be using pressure in the turbo, thus loosing you speed down te straights. Also you need to be in higher gears for some corners (like Luffield at Silverstone) or you can't put the power down soon enough due tomorrow the 600bhp of the cars. All looses you lap time

Jag gets best results shifting at redline, I found. Ferrari and Ford work best with short-shifting, Ferrari moreso than the Ford.

Alright, but auto gears still looses time in the corners

I predict Snow to win at Le Mans.

I predict Snow to win at Le Mans.

Only chance I got in the Toyota this season. Would be my first Le Mans win, too. Such a long race though and so many things to go wrong... With this car it's a shame we're not doing the no chicane-version.

 

[snowgt]

Fun fact: The top 6 in GT-O standings all drive different cars.

 

[jammy21]

Thanks to God those chicanes

Won't make Le Mans day 1

 

[Furinkazen]

Won't make Le Mans day 1

That is exactly why we got Day #2

 

[Downhill Dino]

No race for me tomorrow again.

 

[Furinkazen]

My season is partly the reason but I feel genuinely disinterested in this weekend.

 

[CAMikaze]

As for me, I'll be arriving home right at the stroke of the lobby opening up for the race.

 

[FlyingFox]

My season is partly the reason but I feel genuinely disinterested in this weekend.

I feel the same about V8 Supercars at the moment. I'll be on tonight and the entire Le Mans weekend.

There is a title at stake!
