Aaahhh, you tied me! :lol: You and I have been right next to each other in this final round, so I guess it's only fitting. These time are ridiculous though. I think the national finals are going to be so close, because with the draft in GT .3 is nothing.

Omfg 1:31.200 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxDDDDDDDDDD

i am so happy omfg

I'm sorry guys, I just haven't updated my times out of sheer superstition. I worked for sooo long today for this tenth, I'm so happy.

I have no idea whether it'll make it or not, but for now, this is how I feel:

I have been out last few days riding miles on my bike and stopped drinking soda for like a week and a half now. I need to lose some weight lol. :crazy:

If you want to get into shape quickly and are willing to spend some money look into P90X. It is amazing and can feel and see differences within a couple weeks. I do it plus running.

It sucks not being able to compete this year even though I would've been going for top 100 not 32 but at least I can live vicariously through people I race with and know. Good luck in the final hours all.

Go Eddie. I'm cheering for you to make it. I know your national finals reports would be epic. :sly:

Throwing in the towel, after 12 hours of racing the best I could do is match my 1.32.214. For 254th place.The second turn has been my downfall, the rest of the track I nail perfect but I can't get that perfect drive through the Essses. It has been a pleasure competing with you guys...best of the best right here!

Good Luck to all who make it!

Time for the final push. Ten hours to knock down .200. Hopefully I can bang it out relatively quickly. I was knocking on the door of a zero last night. I'm pretty confident I can make it happen. Good luck to everyone that's still pushing hard.

I am not there yet, but if I do make it this will be my reaction:
 
Well, I seem to have completely forgotten how to drive in the span of a few hours. Can't even break into 1:31.9s any more. I'm using the exact same braking points as before, but half the time I find myself slowing WAY too much before even turning in. So I decide to try braking a tiny bit later next lap but now I can't slow down enough. Third solution: brake at my normal points but release the brake pedal a little sooner, except now the car thinks I'm trail braking and the back snaps out and scrub off all my speed. WTF happened to me? I actually thought I had a chance this year. :/

Congrats on the lap Eddie. I think that should be good enough. :cheers:

Nice job Eddie!
 
I don't understand what's wrong with me. Yesterday I was on the verge of running a 1:31.2xx all day long. Today, I can't even break out of 1:32.xxx. :(
 
31.69, 31.65, 31.9, 31.8, 32.0, 31.565 :dopey:

And that's with a tank slapper right before the 2nd overpass. Even when I run my best lap, there's a mistake in there. :lol:
 
Finally cracked the 31s. 1:31.995. Just dont see how to knock off another .7 I hit every corner the best I ever have and strung a whole lap together.

This competition has been a bit demoralizing. By the time I knock off .2 32nd place improves by .2 :(

Oh well. It was fun. Maybe next year. Congrats to all who qualify for the finals. :cheers:
 
31.544 with screwing up the same corner as my .565 lap. Even though I feel I can break the 500 barrier, I'll be watching NASCAR, and there's less than 4 hours left. If that's all I could do, then I've exceeded my wildest expectations. I went from struggling with 32.3's to running consistent 31s. :)

Anyone care to make predictions on the cutoff time? .223's my guess.

I'm in the same boat. Got to a 1:31.640 and I can see the extra time on the track, but I find the car/driving style frustrating. I'm also convinced someone put the aero pieces on the car upside down...

Congrats to the top 32; enjoy the finals 👍

I'm right there with you man. My PB is actually a 32.4 and that was on a lap where I drifted the entire second and third turn haha I spent a few hours yesterday trying to make some magic happen but I am so out of practice I can't push the car to the limit without messing up somewhere in the lap. I have only spent 2 sessions trying to put a time down for 8-5, I am positive I can hit 1:31s thats not an issue, but I know I am too out of practice to hit the whole lap perfectly to hit a low 1:31.

I am out of shape anyways, so even if I had my skills tuned to make it all the way, I would be mad that I wasn't in good enough shape to have a real shot at it. I am probably going to take this more seriously over the next year since I see how attainable it all really is, I suggest everyone else to do the same.
