GT Academy 2012 (NA) General Discussion

[OutlawQuadrnt]

No chance for outlaw4rc then....

Hey, now. It's not like I need rear brake bias to be successful.

Then again, I struggled with car rotation in 8-5.

oh, spa draft-o-thon is going to create lots of close action

Oh, boy. Might as well run Daytona Oval.

 

[carracerptp]

One thing I must say is Jordan and Kevin sure look natural for (I think) their first year doing this.

Looks like Forced is going to silverstone, congrats Nick! He's already shown his real car skills, should do well there.

Seems like this combo is a bit easier to drive compared to the TunedZ on cape ring, the beauty of awd Was great racing though!

Agree'd well done Nick 👍

everyone that did last year's competition should have been pretty well practiced at the cape combo though.

come on Eddie, Rees, Mav, and ponyboy!

 

[dsgerbc]

come on Mav, ponyboy!

Those two are through already, by my math.
GL to Warez and Rees though. Given the amount of Spa races those two did, they should be fine.

ponyboy's putting the nail in it now too. 👍

 

[dsgerbc]

ponyboy's putting the nail in it now too. 👍

If he win's another race after this - he'll go top of the points standings
That'd be a feat. (My math might be off though, barely caught the results of the group 2 races.

 

[paskowitz]

Patrick has a spot in the top 16.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Stiggy to Silverstone!

Yeahhhhh.

 

[dsgerbc]

Did I just see some bump-drafting?

 

[Blaze_409]

Are Veloci and Jett through?!!?!
Edit: I think Joey is through to Silverstone with 29 points right?
I didnt get to see Jetts race? How did he do?

 

[J-KiLLA24]

Congratulations to Patrick for clinching a spot in the top 16

Jett has a chance at the overall points win and through for sure.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think Veloci is yet to race.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Anyone know where Eddie stands as far as the cutoff goes. He just finished 3rd in the first race of this round. Currently running 2nd in the race running right now.

Current cut-off (based on very incomplete info) is 14-ish. 3rd+2nd place would certainly be enough for Wardez.
UPD: provisional top of the points standings - ponystig.

 

[CodeRedR51]

He finished 3rd in both races. Got passed in the chicane on last lap. 👎

 

[Dr_Watson]

He really needed 2,2 to be secure.... looking pretty "bubble" right now.

<strike>He's the only one I know of that was an 'off camera' race... </strike>
so there's 4 scores missing, + i can't remember where gtp99 finished in his races with nick.

edit: just added that update from eddie's final round

 

[dsgerbc]

He finished 3rd in both races. Got passed in the chicane on last lap. 👎

Any other positions?
I'd imagine Kyle is in this group too and won both...

 

[dsgerbc]

Ok. They just announced those. By my math Wardez is through. Rees needs one point to advance (otherwise he's tied with two more guys on 14).

 

[EDK]

Go Rees, go! Nice pass up the hill!

 

[dsgerbc]

Congrats to Rees!

 

[Dr_Watson]

Good heat by Rees.. pretty much just needs a point in this last one!

Nope. He's through.
The only question left: if Darwin will kick out Darren (TRC_Hulk)

 

[CodeRedR51]

The only question left: if Darwin will kick out Darren (TRC_Hulk)

If he finishes where he's running, it'll be a done deal.

 

[dsgerbc]

Lot's of pressure though.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Back to 4th now. Great race!

 

[dsgerbc]

That looks done for Darwin...he's still tied with Darren, tiebreaker might decide this.
Good race by Rees!

 

[EDK]

Wow, 3 WRS guys in the top 16, and Stiggy gets in as RacerX. Awesome job by everyone. 👍 👍

 

[Jav]

Guys I'm away from my computer how's everyone doing with points?
