[GSCC] GT Global Sports Car Championship | S2 Finished! Miata13b and Ares 85 are you series champs!Finished

[miata13B]

Great fun last night. Had a good battle with @luvtadrive we were very even on pace at the start but I made a mistake in Maggotts and lost about 10 seconds. I pitted early for Mediums and picked up about 3 secs a lap and over took him when he pitted about 20 minutes later and just had to manage my LF as it gets tortured at that track. For some reason the other 2 TVR's used RH the whole race, although @Ares85 was still faster. Hope we get some more drivers, lots of fun.
As far as letting GT3's pass I felt like I drove my race, if they caught me at the wrong time, I took my apex and they had to wait. It seemed to go good though, only felt I might have chopped @miata13B one time when he wasn't expecting, sorry dude.

Don't worry about it. I came up on you and watching you drive I thought I saw you switching lines, by the time I made my decision to on where to pass I had to brake hard to avoid a close incident had I proceeded.

Can't miss Spa... Love that track too much!

I don't think I have ever heard anyone that does not like SPA!!

I'm not sure what my issue was last night.I'm 7 secs off filo but strangely i wasn't that far off with him in another series with the exact same cars.my goal is to be 10 seconds quicker by the end of the season if not quicker

by the way it's SlowFWD84 84 not 36

congrats to TNR with a the wicked pace and Ares.

I agree with TNR the tvr's were a little to nice in allowing the pass. I think if they just hold their normal line it would be better for everyone. Just a thought.

Also SlOW don't feel so bad about your pace. I tested the corvette and it was a handful. I'm sure you'll bring it around.


See you all at SPA.

Thing is I don't know if it's all my cars but they just seem to feel weird to me.what kind of times were you running at spa when you tested(for comparison)

 

[socalspeedfreak]

I don't remember the times but I do remember thinking the corvette needed to much work for me to feel comfortable. I liked the z4 the most but it did not make the final choices.

 

[Garage13]

well I have two base tunes that i'm testing one called "Twingo and the other is "Voltron".I ran Voltron last night which weirdly enough was tested in the wet at spa,the car doesn't normally handle like that.The Twingo set up is actually from my street car c6 corvette that damn near won the series i ran it in with another friend.It works brilliantly with softs.I usually have a habit of setting up the car with running racing hard tires but lately it's been almost the exact opposite.I just have to take a few days to possibly redo the tune.It just might need to be tightened up with anti roll bars and maybe a new trans tune to optimize the horsepower delivery.

 

[TNR_KING_FILO]

great race guys! with the TVR's it is easier to predict where a slower car is going if they take the racing line, as what @d4rizob said take the apex it's the faster guy's problem to get round you. See you at spa

Whoop... My bad. I'll have that fixed in a few.

 

[Garage13]

Flip again it's 84.damn man

 

[RobbiefromBC]

A minor mistake, nothing to get whipped up about... No point in complaining too much, you can't exactly fire volunteers

 

[luvtadrive]

Great tire management by Rob Ledwell. I expected to repass him with 10min left when I thought he'd have to pit again after pitting early on lap 16? Never saw him again. I ran same times that I practiced . Though my car was hurting at the end of the race sitting at 479pp @ 292 hp & needing a chassis rebuild(I never touched anything during the race) I don't think having a fresh car under me would have changed the outcome. I'am slow but try to be steady. Good race . Clean & respectful. I also had left foot heel burn with about 10 min. to go. forgot to put on my socks.

I'm so used to having people's number on their car match their username, that when that doesn't happen, my brain can't compute it, as it turns out. Should be good now.

Good races last night.. silverstone was my worst track testing for the ford, it ate tires and was pretty bad on fuel , I've got less down force than the rest of the GT3 cars so I'm nice and slippery for Spa though!

That's great you'll be better so soon, but it's an off week!

 

[socalspeedfreak]

I guess that's what being sick will do to you. Thanks more time to get ready. And group practice this week??

Yeah, what BC said. Feel better, bud!

And yes, tonight and possible tomorrow night, I'll have some rooms open for Spa for those who can make it.

 

[socalspeedfreak]

the worst is over and I'm back at work. be there tonight for a while at least.

 

[flip55]

Spa Francorchamps room will be up in a few minutes. It won't be an official practice room, so if you would like to drop by, you can.

 

[miata13B]

I just got an invite to an endurance race this weekend that I need to tune for and get it down. I'll try stopping by but I am focused on this tonight :-(

 

[flip55]

A room will be up a little later tonight for those on. Just after the NASCAR truck dirt race

 

[socalspeedfreak]

This truck race is awsome!

 

[flip55]

what time settings are being used for SPA?

I have been rocking out what the club event says.... i forget if we go night or not, but I would say we will probably transition from day to night.
