Slightly less than 24H roll call. Let me know if you can't make it.

@GT5Apex Are you still interested?



Rolling start looks like the sensible option so we'll be going with that. It should hopefully help keep T1 incidents to a minimum.

I’ll be there.

 

[El_Beardo]

1 hour to go.

Let's see if I can keep the Sauber's power under control for 90 mins . .

It’s closed now, I took a break for a bit before race time. I’ll pop it back up now until @Drex124 open the race lobby. 👍

Yeah we should definitely have a party, I'm sure someone will have one up, if not I'll put one up myself.

[Kermit_2142]

Watching

GG guys 👍

 

[RacingGrandpa]

That was awesome!!

 

[El_Beardo]

That was fun. Thanks for hosting, @Drex124.

I'd just like to say, my race engineer came up with the wrong strategy, my chief mechanic didn't set the car up properly, and a bird flew into my air intake on lap 32.

 

[Michelin Man]

@Drex124 Great job and thanks for hosting, that was a really fun race. 👍

Caps off a great day of racing for me, and that was a great 4-way battle at the start by the way @Pigems @El_Beardo @Drex124.

 

[K1LLD0z3R]

Thanks for hosting Drex, really fun racing everyone. WTG GOTMAXPOWER P1!

@El-B it was supposed to be a flock of birds dang it.

 

[MaxAttack]

Well, it was a race. If I hadn't had a nasty spin while fighting with DudeTuna, I might have been able to stay in the action, but a spectacular spin it was and a lonely race most of the way.

Still, always nice to hang with the boys, and I had fun trying to scare the crap out of GOTMAXPOWER by defending while being blue flagged.

Great race man, it was a lot of fun, especially at the beginning when we were all together.

Thanks again for Hosting @Drex124

 

[RacingGrandpa]

Thank you @Drex124 , fantastic race. I am having trouble keeping the focus for 90 minutes when mostly running alone, but as soon as someone came lapping me I could keep my pace for a number of laps.
Really enjoyed this so very much!

And thanks to @MaxAttack for coming with such short notice!

Complained a lot but honestly enjoyed it, I'm glad you dragged me out.

I'm just modelling myself after British racing hero Lewis Hamilton by complaining my way thru every stint.

You're way better looking, though

Get in the van . .

Get in the van .

Drunk driving..

 

[R_Goldstreiff]

It was a really nice race, thanks everybody and thanks Drex124 especially. Regarding the Sauber, I definetly miscalculated the fuel consumption re the race lenght and got a bit out of shape for a while after realizing I had to fuel save all of a sudden. Ah well. Vulcans and MAX race pace was too fast for me, but very happy to end up on the podium and not to spin with the Sauber in 2nd gear.

>>I also made a few photos of the race and posted them on my GT profile. Here are some:

 

[Michelin Man]

Cracking race, so I'd thought I'd a few more pictures, especially from that early battle at the start.

Closest I'll ever get to being on pace with @GOTMAXPOWER (Great move by the way, nice livery too)

 

[Pigems]

Few race pics.

 

[Redneckchef]

Couldn't make it, but man it looks good seeing all those beautiful cars out there in a mix and running together.

 

[RacingGrandpa]

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

That was fun!

All of the Porsche's struggled a bit in qualifying but once the race started it was perfect, some of the cars looked a bit of an handful and burnt through their tyres, the 962 is pretty easy to drive even in 2nd gear. Here are the first 2 and a bit laps, the rest of the first stint was a really nice battle with @R_Goldstreiff and @VulcanSpirit :



@Drex124 Thanks for putting this event together, will definitely be there for the next one.

Here is the link to the livery, CFP93 has a tonne of other Gr.C replicas on their profile too: https://www.gran-turismo.com/us/gts...lery/all/livery/5454570/1/8503373424396075048

@R_Goldstreiff @Michelin Man @Pigems @RacingGrandpa I love the photos

There really are nothing better in this game, than these cars.

 

[Kermit_2142]
