Is Dragon and King in Round2??

Nope, they are both out. 👎 (Not down on their performance, just that I'm sad).

Yeah, doing the best we can with the data we are given. This is surprisingly difficult! Hope you guys are enjoying the stream though. Lots of tech hiccups are slowing things down a bit.

It's really is a great show, thank you for doing this.

Darren Guiao=TRC Hunk
Austin Cobb=TRC Scooty

GO TRC!

Thanks

+100

Round 2 Groups

 

[Wardez]

Did anyone grab a screenshot of the seeding for groups? None of us could see it from where we were so only the top seeds know their placing so far.

 

[IMMORTALPILOT]

Nope, they are both out. 👎 (Not down on their performance, just that I'm sad).

You have see the Race from Dragon and King??
I dont understand it they are both very fast drivers.

 

[lapierre4]

I have no proof of anything I say here except my memory or my logic but I will try something. I remember RedlineGTS had an Asian name, hence why I would say his name is Kyong Oh.

Other than that, Brett Bennet can pretty easily be contracted to Benny1342.
Finally, Gonzalo Torres ressembles to EpicGonzago.

Look up one post Eddie... and get yourself to round 3 mate!

Group 5 is yours if you're indeed the 19th seed for the round. Pic above shows you in group6 as well, lol.

King got eliminated #33 based on the time trial to get it down to 32.

Nobody saw Dragon's race as it wasn't streamed, but I guess he got hit in the first race (no penalty so racing incident??) and did badly the 2nd race. He had a hard time adjusting to the T500 brake pedal from what I gather (from shagg).

We deffinitely have Jordan! Don't worry! We understand, we all go trough the same every weekend!

I believe Kyong is RounD from last year.

 

[Wardez]

Ok got it, they just came and read our groups to us and said the same thing. Jett and I are on twice, and Kyle wasn't listed at all.

That sounds not good.
Yes the guys that have at home a T500 Wheel have a big advantage..

 

[SpecMiata-JSW]

Anyone capturing the footage for a highlight reel of some sort? I can't watch any of it as I'm driving and typing at stop lights.

Round 2 Groups

That's awesome ebud! Thank's for keeping us up to date!

 

[lapierre4]

Yeah you are right!

BTW, Not so surprises about Nick Barbato's performance hehe! Keep it that way!

 

[carracerptp]

Nicks up now.

You are my hero! 👍

How did you get those?

Anyone serious about this probably bought the T500 the day they made it to the finals.

Too bad.

Granted, they're on a tight schedule, but you'd think the organizers would give these guys a bit more time to practice, or otherwise get adjusted to different equipment.

As for Trial Mountain Reverse with the Z, based on the practice races, it's tough just keeping that car stable. Best time was a mid 37, IIRC.

"Prnt Scrn" button on your keyboard...

Never mind.

 

[Wardez]

Yeah they just fixed it. I'm in group 5 with Jett. Kyle's in group 6.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Never mind.

Saw a 39.3 so they're in the neighborhood.

Oh, and a great ending for that 2nd place battle. That last corner is so hard since it requires hitting the prior 2 turns just right.

 

[ebud007]

Just saw this on the GTA FB

First round of eliminations and 4 more guys are going home: JerseyDriverSS, Maverick-Ace-GT, DragonGT83 and gatordaryl. Before the day is out, another 4 will have to walk away from the dream

Sorry guys just remember you are faster than 800K+ racers. Proud of you. 👍

LOL just used screen capture 👍
