Gran Turismo Gentlemans Cup (GTGC) | FINISHED! (for now...) Thanks to everyone who joined in!Finished

[flip55]

Should be an exciting race from Tsukuba tonight! Whatever our tire sponsor is has brought over its softer compound for this race, so management of those will be key tonight.

It is also time to start thinking about the new specs coming in, and to start thinking about cars and teams. I would like to be a part of a team, whether I start one or join in with someone. If I start one, I'm leaning towards renewing my contract with Volkswagen from last season (some of you know what that's about ), but I'm looking around at the other options as well.

Volkswagen offered me a tempting offer to drive for them but I'm still up in the air for now.

Honda has plenty of money to bring on a top drivers!! the f1 program is a year behind but they are well established in tc .

 

[RobbiefromBC]

As for me, I've been contacting the guys at BMW, Mazda, and Honda, trying to get a works team up in the running. It comes down to what the other half of the driver lineup wants to represent. All I'm going to say is watch out in April!

Unless things change, my contract looks to be leaning towards Mazda, although BMW has given me a few tempting offers

 

[socalspeedfreak]

Senna & Prost!! just one of Honda's driving teams. enough said!!

 

[Rob Ledwell]

Going to meet with the Mazda guys about a P2 drive in Sebring this weekend, if that doesn't work out I'll be in the RX-8.

 

[socalspeedfreak]

for some strange reason Aston Martin did not call me about this weekend!!

Mazda wants me to run their car for this season stating. " you ran a Maserati last tc season. Our brand also starts with M."

official rules change request:

all drivers from Canada should start from last place, run comfort hards and have a weight and power penalty!!!

You will still finish 2 laps ahead. Not a bad idea though.

Bad news for the beginning of April guys. Looks like I am going to miss the first race. My other 2 bartenders have asked for the week off which means I'm working from Wednesday until Easter non stop :-(. I'm going to see if I can get it covered though but outlook is not good... :-(

R-Sport Mazda

R-Sport proudly announced their GTGC intentions for next month. The public unveiling went well and was received by the ENKEI president, who agreed to sponsor the new (ish) team, with rims for the whole season. Both drivers are pleased to have Mazda and ENKEI backing for this series of TC1 class racing.

Two Mazda teams? Wow, that was quick...

 

[flip55]

Just wanted to make a quick note about the Toyota/Scion/Subaru for next month. If a team is going to form using one of these cars, the team members must be in the same brand. Although they are pretty much the same car, one person can't run a Toyota and the other a Scion, for instance. Just to make that clear.

 

[RobbiefromBC]

I'll be opening up a room for practice if there isn't one up already

 

[flip55]

Edited post.

I'm getting on right now, room will be up in about 5 minutes.

 

[socalspeedfreak]

addendum to rule change request:

All Mazda to run with 50% less horse power!

 

[RobbiefromBC]

Sorry guys, I should have checked to see if everyone was there before countdown. On to Monza

 

[WanganGhost]

Well that was a weird night for me. I reset the cache thing before i entered like i always do but this time. I saw two cars in front of me in the first race just stopped for the whole race. The second i only saw, flip, somebody, kg, Infected and myself.🤬

 

[socalspeedfreak]

last night was like the 2015 Australian Gran Prix all kinds of strange happenings. My race long battle with Rizo was good fun! I think he went off at the last turn trying to let someone pass or it would have been even better. Monza will be interesting.

Not someone, Somebody I believe. I saw the two of you battling it out. I think he misjudged the final corner when I passed on the inside it seems. I want to thank both of you for letting me take the inside of the turn leading to the back straight which setup D4's eventual off.

From my POV, he slipstream ed behind me to gain ground on you Socal then probably over braked into the turn not leaving enough traction to turn the car leading to that off.

I would like to apologize to kg for being to aggressive on the first lap of the race last night. I will make an effort on up coming races not to be as aggressive. Thank you for your time, have a great day!

I'm rather interested on how points are goint to look like after last night... Think I only gained a total of 10 or 11. Monza should provide some rather intense racing! 👍

I have no clue actually, it is close but I think you have the edge. Should be an interesting season finale at least :-). I think you should get a 50 kg Ballast penalty for unsolicited use of a Fiat though

 

[flip55]

Points! Monza will be interesting.

hey don't jack me for my QR race point!!
