GTP IndyCar S2 | Champions - TomMcD & Team Penske! | Awards Announced!

[LVracerGT]

I would like to see the replay because as I was saying in the race before I got disconnected I looked at my map (set to driver, zoom 2) he was not inside me when I turned in. It was probably due to the excessive lag almost everyone was complaining about. If he was along side of me, I apologize, but again in the moment my map did not show him there. I don't "bully" people around the track. You should know that from the Indy race I was at last season. I stayed quiet the entire race and got caught up in the last lap wreck, and still said good race, and have plenty of people that will vouch for my driving abilities and race craft on the track.

I DID send you PM's with schedules and distances, you chose not to use them. I know this because I still have my notes on the series before S1 and the tracks and laps I had worked out to provide strategy but not make races entirely too long, and I specifically remember exchanging PM's with you about them.

When did I ever ask you to change the times so just I could make it? Never. I agreed that the times you had set were best for the people interested in running and just asked that I be involved in running the series and I wouldn't hear from you until I see that you've posted a thread about the new series with none of my input. That's when I sent you PM's asking why you never contacted me that you were developing S2. The only response I got was "sorry mate, maybe next time."

You might want to check your so called "facts" sir, because they're wrong. I tried to be involved in this series and you basically shut me out.

I'm really not in the mood for arguing about pointless little things right now.

If you don't like how we're doing things, fine. Nobody is forcing you to take part. You may have done preliminary testing with us but since about November it's been all me, Joe, Knelly and Brett. Therefore I don't really think you have a valid reason to start telling me how to run our series.

 

[LVracerGT]

I'm not trying to tell you how to run it. I'm trying to involve my input to better a series I had a big part in starting, and should have been involved with.

It's unsurprisingly very hard to be involved with something when you're never there, which isn't your fault but still.

Personally man, I don't see anything wrong with the series. We're normally in a lounge and we'll have a pre season oval next season. Everything else is golden; we're reviewing the race for penalties and providing everybody takes the time to read the OP we should have a cracking season just like last time around.

 

[LVracerGT]

Well like I said, I would still like to be involved unless you would rather me not. But only if you're actually going to include me in running the series. Obviously I can make the times now with my new job.

Sure man, but keep in mind I won't be radically changing anything mid-season.

There's a possibility of a driver or two being kicked so we could slot you into a team 👍

 

[LVracerGT]

Yeah I understand the season is pretty much set. Just would like to be involved in making some decisions to the future of the series.

All I have is the Yellow/Black FGT. If there are no slots available for that team I'll look into getting another one.

 

[Matty]

Well I'm happy that's all sorted out 👍

Anyway, I helped choose the tyres for street courses

I demand more involvement

I'm not all to bothered about more involvement really case I feel like a medium sized part to this series due to staying around for a bit after races.

 

[fastfox400]

LV just let it be water under the bridge. I have a extra LVL 24 you can grind.

 

[VELOCI_2NR]

Because I'm new to the car and the level of competition, I don't know if the time I'm running is good or not.

I put down a few 1:14s when testing the car earlier today on Indy Road. This was with comfort mediums at 650/730

 

[cgr-10]

No need to grind for the ticket yet LV, like I said we're looking at possible kicks from the series in the race review. I'll let you know if you'll need another 👍

Not sure Veloci, haven't put any laps down yet mate.

 

[Knelly]

Yeah, we never ran this last season so have no comparisons for you yet.

I may put some laps in later if the Indycar finishes early enough to get the wheel out.

It's 5-7 BST since they're in Brazil I think 👍

EDIT: Just realised we never changed the specs to the new DW12. I think a slight adjustment may be in order...

Minimum Weight: 1,565 lb (710 kg) (Originally stated weight: 1380. 2011 weight: 1565)
Weight Distribution: 43% front/57% rear (approx.)

Power is stated as 550-700 approx so I don't see any need to change that.

 

[Knelly]

Thanks for that, taping anyway so will prob watch when TV free.

No worries man, edited my above post with something we should look at.

 

[DrifterJoe]

I think we should leave the weight distribution as it is. The 710kg weight should work though.

 

[cgr-10]

I think we should leave the weight distribution as it is. The 710kg weight should work though.

Ok, 710kg is standard across oval and road IRL now, so should we follow suit?

 

[DrifterJoe]

I suppose so. Would the extra weight make the cars more loose on the ovals?

 

[Cowboys965]

Why are we changing the weight?

 

[DrifterJoe]

Why are we changing the weight?

To match up with this season's specs IRL.

 

[cgr-10]

20kg shouldn't make them that much more lose right? They're only loose right now when you're on the very highest groove which generally leads to you being in the wall regardless.

EDIT: I've changed it on the OP.

 

[LVracerGT]

OP says Indianapolis Oval is 7100kg... that's quite heavy

sorry guys internet was down at my house couldnt make it i found this out before the race and i kept cheking but my computer got up at 10:00 p.m. ct

 

[brendanadams01]

Good front running between me, Fastfox, Droptop, and Tom from time to time, sorry that not many others had the same luck. The only issue I have was that since everyone was talking I couldn't hear Tom and didn't know when to move up on pace since I qualified for 3rd but started in 14th

EDIT: Brendan you turnip, you broke your promise

Need to change to 710 now due to weight change 👍
