Developing my k.i.s.s. set up
Change rear toe to .20
Change diff to my preference, yes same all cars
Change final gear to mid point, adjust top speed for track

Why ?
Ever look at the spec sheets for BoP ? Same toe = tire model changes

I'm use to driving bop
Like I said, "devolping", are all the other changes needed ?

I wish I could've stayed longer chaps. I have me lunch date wiff me dad n his wife at a nice wine bar restaraunts. Know what I mean, yeah? No fish n chips here. Small portions of over priced bullocks and fancy folded napkins. What do you yanks call them, mouf wipes, yeah? Folded into bird shapes n ****.

See you lads soon.
 
I was sorry to leave suddenly yesterday, I was nervous and I thought it was the best solution.

First to be accused in capital letters of a thing with which I had nothing to do, then threatened to "take away the greeting" for another (in which I was guilty), it seemed an exaggerated reaction.

acembrone, I'm Very sorry for the tamponment, I didn’t expect me that you braked in that point and I hit you, my fault at 100%. I would not have wanted that happen with a person always correct like you, but it saddens me that after 100 races together an episode causes such a Reaction.

Daduce the car that caused your accident had a similar color but it was not mine. I had already been shipped to cut the grass of the lawn long before you, so your reaction against me was completely out of place.

I must then self-accuse for a little kiss at Oldphart at Tsukuba at the end of the straight, sorry.

All this just to clarify the facts, considering that between Saturday and Sunday we have done at least 80 laps and I do not think that what happened justifies that reactions and having to be considered me a pirate of the Road.

Hi Nonno,
That is a 3rd gear corner. There is no way to work around it without braking at least on 50 m. Its IMPOSSIBLE to do, even for you. You were completely distracted fighting with Greg and you just didn't care enough about other cars on track. You were several times behind me on that corner and you knew exactly were my brake point was. You are one of the fastest players I've had the opportunity to play with but the amount of crashes you are involved is enormous. Yes we raced many times together and you have put me out of race many times. You just don't pre attention on what your doing. I could even say that You just don't care for the integrity of your opponents, all you care is pass and go, no matter what price people will pay for that. I have a several videos of you pushing me out of track. You got to understand this "THE CAR BEHIND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFETY OF CAR IN FRONT" that means that if you are faster then the other car you cannot jeopardize the driver in front of you, you MUST wait for a opportunity to pass and NOT force a way and send your opponent off track. If the opportunity do not came, you stay behind!
I try hard NOT to risk a friends race just for a better position. For exemple, we raced at Brands Hatch Indy on Saturday and I was 0.3 sec behind @Daduce1947, that was in first, for more then 5 laps, I could easily have forced a pass but as the track is short and tight I preferred to wait for a VERY GOOD opportunity to pass. The opportunity did not show and I was happy to see him win. That's what I am. I am happy with other people success. If I hit someone is not that I don't care, its an accident and I get so sad about that and that race is ruined for me.

That being said, I hope you keep racing with us but a little more thoughtful of your actions. We are old and we have lived enough to understand that this is JUST a GAME and a place to have FUN with friends and everyone deserves respect from the slowest to the fastest.

Just to illustrate my conversation watch that replay of a race were you DON'T CARE about you opponents. I did not block you pass, gave you room and even then you put me off track giving me NO SPACE where I could go. Watch and think about!

Hi Nonno,

I'd better not write anything.

If nothing else, it served to let everyone know about your opinion on me. I don't know if it is shared by all.

I take note of what you have written even if I do not share a single word. Not to mention the movie, with title, on which each of us will make his own opinion.

I can only tell you that my attention, respect for others and my honesty are always the best in every race that we do, with everyone.

If in a race I get hit even 5/6 times, I can surrender and stop on one side but, ended the run, I reset everything, I do not carry anything behind and I leave again for the following one with a clean mind to everyone.

This, for me, is the respect of "opponents ".

With this I do not mean that I do not make mistakes that produce accidents because of me but between some error and "a tremendous amount of incidents with all " there is a big difference.

Anyway, dear Luiz, I have 73 years and for a long time I have nothing to prove to anyone and I stopped worrying about the opinion of others. Keep yours, I'll stay as I am.

If I am pleased by the group I will continue to run, if I'm not i'll do a reason for it.

Hi Cal, Sundays race incident is only one, there have been others we let go of and drive on. Whether ot not you realize this but I use the chase cam view, always have. From that perspective I am able to see both sides as well as ahead of my car quite clearly. As we approached that chicane i checked behind me, saw that Motts was very near you so was holding my breath that both of you would respect that I am a slower player and give me the courtesy to complete the chicane, I would have moved aside to allow both of you drive safely by, as I always try to do when a faster player approaches, that is respecting the other players I believe. However, my suspician was justified, I was passed on the inside, hit broadside and knocked off the track. With no boost, having lost over 30 seconds trying to get my car turned around and back onto the racing surface,, there was absolutely no chance for me to catch the field so I ejected my car and simply observed the remainder of the race. Here's what I will do from this time forward, IF I am placed on the grid ahead of you, as soon as I see YOU approaching me I will pull completely off the driving line and allow you drive safely around me, I have absolutely no problem doing that, no problem at all BUT PLEASE, if I am on a good entry line to a corner allow me complete the corner and I will decellerate, move to the safest side of the track I can and get out of your or any other faster players way. I only ask that I be allowed to make my own driving errors, I make plenty of those on my own! There's no reason we cannot remain GT Friends is there? We have had a couple other instances I felt compelled to say what was on my mind and I have but that doesn't mean we cannot be friends in my opinion. As well I see absolutely no reason you stop enoying the company of we GEEZERS and continue playing with us for the Saturday GEEZERS races, the Sunday GEEZERS and Friends races or any gatherings we all participate in, I believe you look forward to these gathering of GT friends as much as do I, 99% of the time we have great fun and enjoy each others company, we all wish you had a headset snd could join in on the conversations. Anyway, shall we set yesterday behind us and look only forward? Respectfully, John Z aka Daduce1947
