Gran Turismo: Simulation Mode

[Satomiblood]

Did someone just summon me from the other side of the world? I'd say a yes for tomorrow. With a wheel and a beer.

It’ll be too early in the day for a beer on my end. I don’t have the tastebuds for it until the early afternoon.

Hahahaha beer doesn't work in the mornings. It only kicks in during afternoon, boosts up on the evening, and full blast at night.

 

[LineR32]

I wont be able join in tomorrow.

I wont be able join in tomorrow.

All good. I’ve edited the sign-up sheet.

I’m actually wondering if people would prefer bumping it back to next week. @TurboTacho @Drummer79, is that something both of you would be okay with? I’m fine with either option.

No issues for me. Year end might seem a little busy for most of us.

Let’s go through with Type R Meeting as planned. That’ll allow us a choice of the Muscle Car or Viper events with Laguna Seca’s return next week.

@Drummer79, if you’re still tentative, please disregard my earlier comment about canceling/delaying this event.

My apologies for not putting up this Saturday’s event specs. I haven’t decided which one to do yet. Does anyone have a preference between American Muscle and Codename: Viper? Both event specs are listed in Post 2. Simply click on the spoiler tags. They’ll both feature Laguna Seca. I personally don’t care which one we do. I’ll leave it up to group concensus.

 

[Nick Cannella]

I’d like to run American Muscle

 

[Drummer79]

Yeah....what Nick said!

 

[Satomiblood]

2 votes for American Muscle.

 

[Satomiblood]

Looks like Laguna Seca May not be part of tomorrow’s update after all. Major communication screw-up. I’m not surprised. Anyway, I’d rather save those events for when Laguna Seca actually returns, so we can either do an off-week or I can cook up something else for Saturday.

 

[Drummer79]

Honestly with it being a holiday weekend I probably won't make it anyway!?

 

[Satomiblood]

Yeah, it might be best for an off-week then. We can continue the following weekend.

Hey, everyone. This is just a reminder that there won’t be an event tomorrow. We’ll reconvene next Saturday. American Muscle and Codename: Viper will be held back until Lagnus Seca becomes available, so a new event will most likely be featured. In the interim, please feel free to make any theme recommendations for the next event.

Safety Car night! Or perhaps the M3 showcase race since there's 3 generations of it.
I was thinking of heavily detuned F1 W08 cars too... Minimal power and heavy weight tuning.

I forgot about responding to your votes. But if there's any impromptu races tomorrow I'd love to join!

I only use it for drifting purposes. And probably to technically lead a race by regulation.

Yes! For sure I'd book that. Anyway the power regulation might be a little tight if you have the super old M3 on the field. Unless it could take such power levels when spiked up.

The ‘89 maxes out at 394 HP, I believe. So if we lower the max HP to 400, we should be fine.

Specs for M Power are up. Weight limit is TBD.

[Kevstah2004]

Seems like a more reasonable racing time for me.
Just gotta decide what to have for dinner fuel.

 

[Pigems]

I’ll do my best to make it!

I've got you both down as tentative.

Should be able to do let least a few rounds!
