I have LMP2 GTPES quali from 9-9.30

How many others are running too?
Next weekend there's no race due to the GTP ES

 

[xChris93_]

I think evo's running as well, not sure. Even if you qualify separately, I'll start from the back if you want.

well we know how stressful those events are so you cant exactly jump straight in from that.

I think a few people may be away too. If people want to postpone this week then i'll be fine with that 👍


EDIT - It's not letting me access the GT servers.....

EDIT 2 - Fixed now

 

[STOCKY8A1]

Yeah would be ok with me

 

[True-blue-8]

Anyone object to a 9:30 start? We'll run Q in practice mode so others can pop in with 5 mins left and set their laps.

Everyone ok with that?

 

[True-blue-8]

Good call @NinjaEvo New room open

@DrAug you alive mate?

@xChris93_ just to let you know mate we're starting in 5 mins. Running Q in practice mode so you will still be able to join the race in 15mins max from now 👍

 

[NinjaEvo]

Stupid GT servers. Good luck guys, hope you make it to the end with no issues.

 

[True-blue-8]

Well we were an hour late, and with AWOL drivers plus the amazing GT servers we started with half the grid. But what a great race 👍

At the start I saw @IMMORTALPILOT coming through and thought 'Nah, get out of the way' Was following @Weider and @David Talle we each had our own incidents and I was happy with my tyre wear and pace, thought us 3 would be challenging for 4th. I had one bogey corner, turn 7, struggled a lot there, finally it caught me out and I went in behind el and arty.
Went onto the hards and set a new PB right away, found a nice groove and was going well until I move over to let the RBR of @xChris93_ through. Few turns later he has a massive washout and takes me out with him, completed three 360 degree turns, wrong place wrong time Then in my haste to get out of the leaders way I got stuck in the gravel

So my 4th was gone lol but tried a nice tactical battle with SK8R. Last 10 mins I was catching conden up and soon we were racing nose to tail for 5 minutes. Good clean racing, even though I was quicker, I sat behind and waited. Which is what I've tried to teach people in the past. Tried to look after my tyres and pressure him into a mistake. Finally did and last 2 mins just bring it home. Oh, turn 7, hello Final chicane and chris was behind, just went for it really

But great racing and a fun atmosphere, well done @IMMORTALPILOT and everyone else, though It was @RacingLine's race really but the crowd cheered him on.

Break next week but cant wait for Sarthe, will be interesting to see how the FGT do there

 

[RacingLine]

Not a bad day at all considering i did my 1st lap 30 minutes before qualifying

Good win @IMMORTALPILOT, next race ill make sure to practice beforehand:tup:

Wow, who would've seen that result coming

Wow, who would've seen that result coming

Well, for awhile we thought EVO might snatch it.....

Points updated 👍

Formula GT Championship
Round 7 // German GP

​

Once again a fierce battle at the front, a lot of overtakes in the pack. This time, championship leader Immortal had to fight his way through the field, starting from the back of the grid.
There was for sure a lot of action.

Tyre wear was pretty bad and we saw 2 main pit stops strategies :

• option - option - prime
• option - prime - option

The latter was probably the best strategy but surprisingly not prevalent.
At least in Formula GT there is still a German GP this season !

Spoiler: Nürburgring Highlights

Evolution comfortably lead the race during the first two stints.

Chris trying to hold back Immortal; he will eventually secure 3rd place, maintaining a 100% podium finish so far .

At this point Immortal and Evolution split on two different strategies.

The race further down the order wasn't outdone, especially the fight between True-blue and ElCondensator in the closing stages of the race.

Immortal takes the win at home Grand Prix after a bitter fight with teammate Evolution !

If it's on my mind next time I boot the game I'll throw an eye and edit the post. But I'm not sure it'll look good on a picture.

Watching Senna

Can't wait for this weekend

Anyone unable to make it?

 

[NinjaEvo]

I'm free, depends on if PD are gonna screw with me again...

 

[True-blue-8]

@David Talle @DrAug will you guys be there, we need a French driver

 

[David Talle]

Of course and I'll bring my old "patriotic" helmet for the occasion
I recommend to all wheel users to go to the gym Saturday morning or disable FFB, the FGT's suspensions don't handle all those bumps very well

you're not doing yourself any favours mate 👍


Let's hope EVO wins this week, just to keep things close for longer

 

[True-blue-8]

Any times available?

A very similar track to Red Bull Ring, and with the long straights I think we might see chris fighting for the win again

 

[David Talle]

@True-blue-8 I'm about to open a practice lobby if anyone's around

BTW is the race time still 9pm GMT or is it 8 now ?
