GTOR Bulls vs Horses - Italian Supercar Series - Mondays @ 930PM EST - Series OverFinished

[WolfpackS2k]

It's time to pick a side. Are you team Lamborghini? Or team Ferrari? In this unique series you will be driving 2 cars from the manufacturer of your choosing. The series will consist of 6 races, and each car must be driven 3 times. Additionally, in each race you must make a tire compound change. Furthermore, the tire compound requirements will vary between the two "divisions" of cars. In another twist, each of the slower division cars must remain 100% stock. And finally, for the faster division cars suspension and transmission tuning is allowed.

As an aside, I'm happy to announce this series is being sponsored by GTOR. https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/thre...-racing-need-help-setting-up-a-series.316489/

[Phreak]

Looking forward to this, love me some lambo!

 

[Harsk100]

Nice championship, I'll try to keep an eye on it! 👍

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Nice championship, I'll try to keep an eye on it! 👍

That eye must be sore your keeping it on practically every new event.

 

[WolfpackS2k]

Come on fellas, you know you both wanna join this series. 👍

 

[NT_03]

I'll join. Dibs on the '92 F40


BTW, Are any Driver numbers allowed on the cars?

 

[WolfpackS2k]

Glad to have you aboard NT. Driver's numbers are encouraged...required actually. So just let us know which number you want.

Also for clarification NT you don't pick one car. You pick one marque. If you want Ferrari (as your post suggests) then you will be racing with both the F40 AND 288 GTO.

 

[NT_03]

Ferrari it is.

I'll take #11 for both.

 

[WolfpackS2k]

Great to hear.

Come on people, plenty of spots left to fill!

 

[WolfpackS2k]

Nothing changing with the event, however the series is now being sponsored by GTOR in hopes of increasing participation.

 

[swiftsmith]

Swift Autosport Ferrari #52.

 

[NT_03]

Anyways, 9-9:30 PM EST is my school time. And, I might show up hours late.

 

[WolfpackS2k]

^scheduling can be tough. What you mean by show up late though? Always welcome to watch of course!

Race #1 tonight!!! Hope everyone has chosen their car and is ready to go!

 

[NT_03]

And my PS3 is sick.. Guaranteed to work by Monday next week.

School for me ends at 2:45.. 9:30PM EST is 9:30 AM. I start school at 7:35 AM.. So, how will I do that?

 

[WolfpackS2k]

Ah, sorry you can't participate in the series then.

 

[NT_03]

Until the times get switched or there's no school.

 

[WolfpackS2k]

Got ya.

EVERYONE PLEASE NOTE: fuel/tire usage will be set to FAST, not very fast. The fuel consumption was just off the charts.

 

[WolfpackS2k]

Room is open! I'm eating dinner, will be in there before 9.

 

[swiftsmith]

Do we get a drop score?

 

[WolfpackS2k]

Not this series, unfortunately. I've done that the last few series (i hosted). Didn't want to this time.

Race 1 results!

Monza 80s
1 - badaboya1 - Diablo GT
2 - Wolfpack987 - F40
3 - DudeTuna - F40
4 - TunaPhreak - Diablo GT

Turnout for race #1 could have been greater, but a few timing conflicts arose at the last moment. Hopefully going forward we can field a larger crew. The Diablo was certainly the car to beat a Monza, with the F40s standing little chance. With superior tire wear and fuel efficiency on their side it may have been possible for an F40 to challenge for the lead, given a flawless driving performance. But alas, the term "taming the beast" is certainly appropriate for driving cars of this ilk and it was not to be.

Congratulations to badaboya1 for the win, as well as for taking pole position. Silverstone GP is next!

 

[swiftsmith]

Wasn't really a time issue Football was on.

 

[True-blue-8]
