[euclid58]

I need to restart my router.. Keep getting signed out of PSN..

 

[GTP_Nail]

I'm out. Feet no workie. But I will see you guys next week. Need an invite or Club number before then...have fun.

 

[RobbiefromBC]

Sonuva! Gimmie a sec...

 

[Ares85]

I see that the network is sucks today,

first race super for me at least I know that my setings works somehow,

and in the second race, something new for me' got a solid kick in the rear bumper on the second lap and ended up on the bar, I saw earlier how other players are experiencing such a thing but for me it is a novelty, and unfortunately in the middle a DC.

 

[flip55]

Not happy that we had that many DCs. I'd rather take it on a non - points week like this, but still not great...

 

[VELOCI_2NR]

It was so sad I was actually holding my own with a solid shot for the win, if not then a podium. And with the state of tune of the car, that was a win

Invite was sent. You should be set.

 

[socalspeedfreak]

last night very strange with all the dc's but I might have some pace if I can not make mistakes. did you mean to push you off euclid if I did. thought I was clear. I guess I will be the lone Honda runner.

lets get it on next week!!

 

[VELOCI_2NR]

Yea, I really think six mazdas in a ten car grid might be excessive lol. Must mean they're over-powered with that whole supply/demand thing lol But I'll try to beat them up with my.....something!

 

[socalspeedfreak]

love to have a driver of your caliber on the Honda Team!!!

Yep, worries me as well. It's why I had to stop people from jumping in more. It does have its weak points, but it looks like it will own the twisty stuff...

Not in my hands, I owned the gravel trap

The thing with the RX-8 from what I can tell is that it goes nowhere on the straights, but is a good bit quicker in the corners. I also noticed that as the tires started to wear, the car was more comfortable to drive thus making me faster even though there was less grip. It's a car that rewards consistency and very smooth inputs greatly. In order to be faster with it, you must slow yourself down and make sure the car is balanced and pointed where you want it to go. If there is a problem with the amount of RX-8's, I'm sure @Kgffy and I could switch into something else...

No one has to switch out of anything. If you want to, that's a different story. But I will not mandate a change.

 

[Kgffy]

There will be tracks that suite each car, if we were at fugi monza sure rx8 would be in trouble, that's funny bc I noticed car felt better with tires worn, thought I was loosing it.

Also keep in mind: success ballast will be coming in after next week's round. I have to work on penalty amounts, hopefully that will be tonight... (so long as my town stops having sporadic outages...)

 

[flip55]

Success ballast: Here's how we're gonna do it.

For Main Event results only:

1st - 80 kg
2nd - 60 kg
3rd - 40 kg

Ballast can stack up from race to race, up to 80 kg maximum.

After a driver receives a weight penalty, and in the following race finishes outside of the top 3 positions, that driver will lose 20 kg for the next week. Disconnects do not count.

Weight penalties will be applied for the entire race meeting. Finishing order in the Qualifying Race will NOT effect ballast. Nor will the results of Thursday's race from Suzuka.

Ballast information will be updated in the forums after each round, and will be checked in the room on race day.

See everyone for Grand Valley!

Hope everyone's holiday weekend was well! Practice is set for tonight at Grand Valley!

 

[WanganGhost]

Grand valley is the best. Kinda of a home race for me.

GV East is a fave track, and one of only a few original tracks I actually like.. Don't like GV Full much at all..
GV East has a really fun rhythm to it..

 

[RobbiefromBC]

Hmm... Hope the hockey game is over before then... Gotta support the troops!

 

[draqua_fresh]

I'm in the midst of fixing an issue with my pedals.. got a throttle spike on the G27, common issue and i should have them back together by open practice tonight. I'm excited the finally run with people at pace since I missed the race Thursday!

I had you as a Canuck fan, Johhny Hockey is pretty awesome.

Yeah I really hope he gets the Calder this year, just scored another PPG and is leading rookie scoring with 63 points. I'm pleasantly surprised with how this team has played all season, hope we can make the playoffs!







Hah! Canucks fan....

 

[euclid58]

Will be ready for practice in 30 min..

 

[miata13B]
