GTMSA: ITCC: Season 2 Starts Apr. 8th

[Silver-Sylph]

For the Race he wont be parked by the chicane but maybe for the first time if there is a big wreck at turn one i might call a safety car for one lap.

EDIT: Since there is no good starting mark for the rolling start it will just be the start finish line.

 

[Silver-Sylph]

If we can't touch the blue, then park the pace car there! Or Silver-sylph you could park there during qualifing. You wouldn't even have to be watching us, if we hit you then our lap is ruined so there's no chance of a false qualifiing time.

I am going to have our pace car do that.

Hey guys, I'm getting really busy lately between school and work, and saturday nights are about the only time I have to hang out with friends, so I'm going to go to part time with the series.

I find saturdays hard as well, its usually our night out. This will be my last series on a saturday, but i'm hoping to make the rest of the events. I'll be there tonight! Been looking forward to the rain.

Got 5th on the first race... Got hammered on the braking for the 2nd chicane!!!

Sorry about the disconnection issues AGAIN... it must be my mic, so I'm not using it anymore. Unreal, I had best qualifying so far (2nd) and was in 1st place going into the second chicane in a car that clearly had the speed (and setup) to win. Then my fortunes did a complete 180, from 1st to last due to the disconnection Then it got even worst...

For race #2 nobody told me where to line up, I should have been in first due to the reverse grid so I pulled up there and Suprfluous pushed me back! But to where? I had no idea so I just got out of everyone's way and dropped out.

Sorry for the mix up, but there is no "plan B" (that I know of) so when things like this happen we need the race director to speak up and make a clear ruling. All I heard was "JM move back". Back to where? 2nd? 3rd? Last? We should have been given our positions via a text chat while still in the lobby or pit lane. Once your on the grid you can't text so I was SOL.

 

[Silver-Sylph]

You were supposed to move back at the grid position marking on the track. You were going to start first then you just drove off.

First race, I was so worried about hitting the person infront of me that I didn't pay attention to my braking cue for the second chicane. I got on it too late and got into the back of Ran a little. Sorry about that.

During the second race, I found out that Ran brakes sooner than I do. I tapped him a couple of times, but he overshot a corner and got into the gravel. Then I guess he had connection issues cause he went into autopilot.

For race #2 nobody told me where to line up, I should have been in first due to the reverse grid so I pulled up there and Suprfluous pushed me back!

You were going to start first. Supr was just trying to push you back to the starting grid.

On the second race, all the Civics were in the front. And all the Civics were passed off the line. Do we all have horrible setups, or perhaps the Civic is just much lighter than the rest of the cars and we suffer from horrible wheel spin under acceleration (I know I had to feather the throttle out of every chicane)?

 

[Silver-Sylph]

Everyone had to. My VW suffers from terrible wheelspin even on dry tracks.

Why was the pace car out there too? And I swear whoever was 2nd wasn't gridded correctly either but I could not see much from my bumper cam view. The reason I drove off is I tried to text, but that puts your car in auto drive. Sorry the whole evening was a mess for me. I was really pissed about getting disconnected while leading race #1

What happened the previous start? The one that was waved off? People exited during the black out? Sorry but there was total confusion out there... I was waiting for some clear directions.

My VeeDub was spinning the tires in the 3rd to 4th gear change in the rain. On dry tracks it doesn't like 2nd gear, for example on Trial Mountain I had to short shift to keep from losing traction.

 

[GTRedline]

I enjoyed the races, aside from the 7min grid start. Placed 6th in both races, and qualified mid pack. Still getting used to the wheel, i usually qualify top 3 but been mid pack for the past 2 races. I'm ok with that, i still have to work on my consistancy but i enjoy the wheel so much more.

 

[Jav]

I was surprised by my qualifying efforts for this one, my best quali performance to date, and was on a good possition to get a podium but got bumped out of line or into the wall in both races... Still am happy to get some points out of it and now I need to push real hard to make that championship a reality!

*looks what is left of the #17 Aruba Blue Civic* :facepalms: This is going to be a long series for me... especially in wet races... ---- Randy

I think the top 4 people in the points are the last ones left to fight for the championship really. It hurt Sach a ton missing the race allowing me to get a 52 point lead on him. But then again anything can happen. Kinda sad that our season is winding to a close. Feels like we just got started. Also if i do finish within the top 3 in the standings for the championship the prize car would go to the person below me.

Yeah right? I think off all the championships I've been running this has definitely been the best one! I hope you bring it back with the same cars for another season!

By far the best one. I'm with Jav but I would like to see some different car with a lil more HP but nothing crazy so we can keep the field even. I also think this series is so good to due to the people we are racing with clean and fun thanks guys.

 

[GTsach]

Super! Do u know when u will be starting the next season?

 

[Silver-Sylph]

I'm not going to start the next season right away. There is going to be a good break till season 2. I kind of want to start season 2 after the SuperGT series i'm running in is over. Because I don't have much time anymore.
