Gt500 t/p 1 last hurrah at suzuka! 3/1/2013 happy new year!

[TDZdave]

yeah the round a bout really ruins what would be a great fantasy circuit, they could have made a steep angled 45 degree bowl turn, or a cork screw style turn,

speaking of created circuits seth has an awesome created circuit but it probably would be frowned upon by the crowds, as its a created circuit,

How many laps is it of laguna ?

 

[KingSakery]

Well I´ll be there and try my best
Sign me to a good HSV/NSX or GTR spot

 

[TDZdave]

sweet as guy's,

Skeng its 70+1 laps

Sakery, the remaining NSX's are the same virtually, the stealth is still available if you have it?

[SkengD]

Wow thats a long race

 

[TDZdave]

I think I calculated it right, its 3.7KM's, nope I haven't its 66+1, at 1:20 lap times it should be around an hour and a half race,

 

[Spazmaticality]

Sign me up for the Yellowhat Supra please. But you know put it as available still because I don't know if I can make it.

Laguna bud, I ran some laps at cape ring after I set it up and the race time duration was way to long, at 2.30s lap times at 250KM the race would take around 2.5-3 hours,

and the HSV, that's cool bud, I figured I needed to give a GTR a try and the Calsonic one was the only one I had, so it worked out for you,

Isn't Cape Ring 7 km? 250km at 2.5min/7km = 90 minutes give or take?

Or did I miss something?

Actually, the next track is Laguna Seca, not Cape Ring.
I know, there's something wrong in the OP about that.

The post I quoted has Dave referring to the lap times at Cape Ring.

 

[TDZdave]

It was originally Cape ring, But after running some laps there in a variety of car's I soon realized how long that event would take to achieve 250KM, I mself didn't run a 2'30 lap time, that would be the expected lap time of Litchi, calum, seth and Gippone, I ran high 2'31s throw in some pit stop, and one of the front runner's not hitting the expected time it would push past 2 hour's easy, Hence the change, and everyone wanted it anyway,

@spaz, you said you wanted the Weider so I put you down in that,

Oh yea. I just saw everyone or at least 2 people requesting it so I thought you didn't get it.
Hope I can make it

 

[TDZdave]

Me too,

I'm open to created tracks. 👍

 

[TDZdave]

We might use Seth's next time, that's an awesome track,

Dang now I'll be even more poised if I miss a createdtrack. I love them

 

[joetruckv8]

I there goes your momentum! 👍
I'm getting some practice laps in now and I forgot how much I like this track, this will be a fun rd for sure. I'm clocking low 1'23's now, but I plan on being in the 1'22's by later on tonight'

I'm not a fan of a lot of them, but Seth's is the best I have ever driven on,

I'm running high 22s in the Calsonic,

 

[freshseth83]

I'll take a picture of it and post it up later tonight. I'll set it to share so everyone can race it.

 

[joetruckv8]

I finished up my P1 session with a best of 1:22.541, and I found to different pit stradegies. 1 at 18 laps and the other at 24 laps. Ill be testing these 2 stradegies out but I'm sure I know which 1 I'm going to use already because of a certain reason?!,...

Looks like there can be another epic duel between you & I dave! 👍

Looking forward to it, 2 very even car's, may the best nissan not finish last

 

[SkengD]

Expecting a 2 or 3 stop , sometimes less stops is better at Laguna because its hard to overtake here and clean air is best .

I did a 57 lap race on hards the other day and did a 1 stop .

 

[TDZdave]

Exactly Skeng, there really is only one place to pass, maybe 2, but you would have to be confident in both yours and the person your over taking for the second spot to work, otherwise you will have to force someone into a mistake going into the corkscrew or the last turn,

 

[Litchi]

Some testings:

Nissan Z - 1:21.4
Nissan GTR - 1:21.5
Lexus (petronas/Denso) - 1:21.4
NSX (Raybrig) - 1:21.8
NSX (Weider) - 1:21.4

 

[TDZdave]

see, close racing, just missing the Supra from that list, but that would somewhere in there very snug,

 

[freshseth83]

I think theres T2, T3, T5, T7 (corkscrew entrance) and T11 thatre good spots for passing.

 

[TDZdave]

in realism you can pass any corner on this track, but the odds really need to be in your favour, both driver's need to be aware of each other,
