GT Career Mode Challenge, Presented by Racers Reunited - Round 9; Nov 24 @ 2000UTC

[RACECAR]

Oh crap, I'm 10th. I suppose the wins and 1 podium helped alot but still amazed that I am that far up.

 

[Famine]

How does this look?



@AndreasR @buybon355 @Drex124 @homeforsummer @IfAndOr @jammy21 @JockeP22 @Jordan @Lazybike @O604 @Pigems @RACECAR @richroo @silverman_GT @Sutsagrd @Tom @Zolon32

By my count we have 18 with @Tom (I'm assuming @daan's ping-based retirement) and 17 without, but then last week we had 14/15 for most races!

 

[Pigems]

I checked the lobby when I got home last week, but it was full at the time. I’ll check again today to see if there his room when I get home.

 

[Jordan]

It's unlikely I will be able to race today, so for anyone looking to jump in there should be an extra spot available.

I may be able to join the later races, so I'll check on the lobby when I can.

In other words, everyone needs to be careful as @Famine will be forced to find someone new to punt...

 

[richroo]

ha ha my plan is working !
now i have no excuses with a car i like and tracks i know , all i need is to not crash on the first lap as @IfAndOr pointed out last week .
getting all the help from kurffumble i hope to get in front of most of you

 

[silverman_GT]

I've had a really long day today and I don't think I'm well fit enough to stay up late (especially until 4 AM) with you guys. Looks like I'll be sitting on the bench this time – have fun guys!

 

[JockeP22]

and the sheet REALLY hates Jocke, as it's dropped him to 1.2% slower for no reason I can spot.

Well, the feeling is not mutual since I REALLY love the sheet. I can only hope that one day the sheet will love me back.

for no reason I can spot

I can. I sucked.

I think I owe Kerfuffle a drink

Drive next to me in the corkscrew at Laguna tonight and I'll throw you a bottle of delicious Baileys from the drivers side window.

How does this look?

👍👍

Streets of willow. Booooo. Could be worse, could have been horse thief mile

The cars are slow enough at least to make it work. It's not something nutty like N1000 or GR.3.

 

[RACECAR]

Well I said I was gonna have to find other ways of being awful and today, I really got my fill. Sorry to anyone I might have had contact with, just overdriving and making mistakes (in a car with not alot of power, what an accomplishment). Other then me auditioning to be a Ferrari F1 driver, fun stuff and fun combos. Hopefully next week is more racing and less sbinotto in my ear.

I saw nothing awful. Good racing by all. 👍

I was in the back most of the time. But was still close enough to hope the cars at the front messed up.

 

[JockeP22]

Our liveries at Laguna:

 

[Jordan]

I'm looking quite racy in "default yellow".

I was just glad to make that last race at Laguna. Such a great combo.

 

[Famine]

That was extremely non-heinous. Totally knackered, loved the whole evening.

For next week for the N200s, I'm just going to pick a car. The number juggling from the Kei cars, having everyone apply their handicaps to already balanced cars is... too confusing, and I'm pretty sure even I screwed mine up, and I'm in charge of the sheet. I think it'll simply be best to have a stock 100/100 car and everyone doing their handicap onto that each race like this week.


Clio V6? Clio V6.

I have some liveries here, and I can make new ones quickly if anyone wants their own number on one

 

[RACECAR]

A Blue one with 32 would be great.

 

[O604]

Orange #8 (any orange) would be excellent if you find the spare time to do it before Tuesday.

 

[Tom]

I’m available for this Tuesday if there’s space.

Do you even have any strength left to turn the wheel, Tom?
I saw Ep.04 today and you must be dead tired after what James put you through 👍

Looking forward to Tuesday. Maybe we'll get to hear some more Murray-isms. He turned 97 today by the way.

I've been struggling since we shot it two months ago!

You can always count on those - amazing to think he's still going really, what a life!

Do we have any word on what the tracks are going to be or did I miss it somewhere above?

Apparently all the races are around the TBA circuit. But I've looked through GTS's list a couple of times and I can't find TBA anywhere. There must have been an update I've missed.

It's short for "Tsukuba".

Of course, your favourite. I should have guessed.

I've made these and one in TBM blue (#3) for @Tom:

Just click on the relevant car, and Add to Collection. In-game, pick the car, choose change livery, and selection My Collection. You won't be able to edit it any further (like wheels, etc) though.

@Tom What font is your TBM. MOTORSPORT in?

Cavalier.

I'm also going to have to bow out tonight chaps. Been feeling rougher than a badger's arse for the last couple of days. Waiting for results on a COVID test too.

Ouch, now that's rough. Get well soon, Tom. 👍

Thanks to Famine for sending us all the tracks selections early this week, except to Drex. 👍
