Call-outs for Saturday's Super Formula event:

@LineR32 @TurboTacho @sturk0167 @Pigems @KayX23 @GTP_Guido @Kevstah2004 @suprajef @Nick Cannella @Drummer79

I'll come on Saturday (probably a bit late, as usual). I only drove a Formula car once, and it didn't go so well. I'll race though, just so somebody else doesn't have to finish last.

It took me a few tries, but once I got used to the transmission and handling, I discovered that it’s pretty much on rails. I’ve driven both stock and tune versions of the Toyota and it’s great under both configurations.

Depending on the turnout and the overall quality of races, there may be an immediate sequel to this event.

 

[LineR32]

Racing the SF19 with my friends when it launched, I noticed both cars slid in the corners with the wheel but it's on rails with the pad.

 

[NosOsH]

Any room left for this race?
Pretty early for me (6am) but the girlfriend has to work that early and will have be out the house at 5, so i'll be up. Might as well race! And I love Sf cars.

 

[TurboTacho]

We should have an exhibition race in the wet Tokyo circuit... Seems interesting to find out how slippery can that be.

Plenty of room. I’ll add you.

@NosOsH: you've been added to the sign-up sheet in post #2. You'll be tagged again on Saturday morning.

 

[Storm_SP17]

Is it too late to sign up?

 

[Satomiblood]

Is it too late to sign up?

No, sir. As long as there are slots available, anyone can join. I'll add you to the list. There are now 9 slots left.

 

[Storm_SP17]

Sweet! I'll give the regs and whatnot a propet look shortly so I know what to expect on the day.

Just a note on the time zone: I'm in the states and the times are posted as EST. I believe that's a difference of 5 hours, so it should be early afternoon on your end.

That's correct. Proceedings finish an hour before I am due to leave for a family gathering, it works out nicely.

Sorry to double post... but has anyone managed to set any laptimes yet at any of the tracks? Hoping to know what a decent benchmark is...

@LineR32 usually practices with the specs. He might have some times he can share. I don’t remember mine at the moment, but I’m not particularly fast so I’m probably not the benchmark.

 

[Storm_SP17]

Kinda expecting myself to be around:
1:19 @ DT Gardens
1:42 @ Magiorre
1:12 @ Brands GP
1:33 @ Autopolis
1:22 @ Interlagos

But I'm on pad and I usually prefer tuning, so I expect these to not be very quick.

 

[LineR32]

Not done anything with the car on track. I can run a few laps though.

 

[Storm_SP17]

I'm not expecting to be fighting at the front, honestly.

 

[LineR32]

I ran a few laps at each track alternating between the Honda and Toyota when I changed tracks. Made a video of it showing how I drove in arcade mode. I expect the car to handle differently and be slower in the lobby.

 

[Storm_SP17]

Welp.

Need to improve on some of my laptimes by a fair bit.

 

[RappyThePro]

Guys, I would really like to join this championship, but if we are just 7... I don't think I will race tomorrow.

That’s unfortunate. The lobby is set to public to help fill it. I’ve had a bit of a tough time getting full ones. If I could have a GTP only grid, that would be great. I guess I’ll just have to tag more people.

I know... We'll see tomorrow.

Feel free to invite more players.

I don't have anyone else to invite unfortunately...

Are you any of you folks down?

 

[Satomiblood]

@LineR32 @TurboTacho @RappyThePro @sturk0167 @NosOsH @Storm_SP17

What liveries is everyone rocking tomorrow? Here’s mine.

 

[GTP_Guido]

I still don't know if i can make it tomorrow.

 

[TurboTacho]

@LineR32 @TurboTacho @RappyThePro @sturk0167 @NosOsH @Storm_SP17

Mine's rather generic. Maybe some simple colors and shapes to keep it minimal.

 

[RappyThePro]

I will race today, but I will be home at 9:00-9:30 EST, so can you wait for me? Start inviting other people on the GT lobbies, so they'll join maybe.
