Nope.

Anyone beaten last season's qualifying time of a 1:19.5xx? (which was set on mediums and with the old weight restriction. Softs and less weight should make us faster.)

I set a 1:19.5 on mediums at 710kg in a Target practice session this evening.

 

[DrifterJoe]

I should probably get some practice. The only game I've played this week is Super Mario Sunshine. >_>

 

[Matty]

Actually during the race me and Tom had I remember hitting a 1:20.5 and I was on mediums.

Should be fun then.

 

[DrifterJoe]

Had a little practice and kept bouncing off walls and spinning off curbs (mainly the flat out chicane curbs). Managed a 1:20.1xx on mediums, same as my best last season (not counting the 1 qualifying lap that was 6 tenths faster). Haven't really used the softs yet.

Next round after Tokyo mate, 18th May is an off week 👍

Ok just wondering as I’m off on holiday for two weeks.

Ah ok, you'll be fine then if you miss the off week and then SSR5 because you can drop a race 👍

 

[cgr-10]

Room open!

 

[DrifterJoe]

Lucky I didn't tap the wall or get damage when you tapped my left rear in the first corner, Tom. Would've called for a penalty otherwise. I scraped and tapped walls a few times but didn't get any damage luckily.

Very good close race. Watch the replay of us, everyone!

I think we get equal points since I won but you got pole and most laps lead.

Could've gotten pole if I hadn't messed up the lap where I was up by 3 tenths.

 

[Knelly]

I had a fourth place car tonight and I'm angry with myself.

Had two quality battles chasing down both Bronco and Matty with over ten second gaps behind each. However, because of a mistake in the caution I didn't go onto softs and had to pit with 8 left after passing Bronco.

Left three spots out there tonight. Gutted.

Great race, watching the leaders now then off to bed.

 

[cgr-10]

Yeah, nice racing Joe mate I get 43 points in all, you take 50. And I second that, everybody watch our fight for the lead as it was awesome 👍

 

[IndyWolf]

Sorry I wasn't there to see the epic conclusion between you two, had to pull out due to family ordering food and dragging me to go get it *sigh*

 

[DrifterJoe]

I was also lucky to start on the correct tyres. As I was starting what I wanted to be my final lap, the countdown began. I stopped the car and reversed all the way to the pit entrance, and had the tyres changed when the screen went black at the end of the 40 second countdown.

 

[cgr-10]

Penalties

Artmannn 5pts Causing engine damage on Smuffy, Lap 18.

 

[Cowboys965]

Smuffy 5pts Failure to use both tyre compounds.

*Hand goes through face*

 

[MemorableC]

I am happy this series is still going on, now that class is out until late August I look forward to another season where I might be able to participate in more then just testing!

Anytime mate

Oh by the way, which of you guys have iRacing? I'm renewing my subscription as I've just got a new 3 month for $12 code through.

 

[smuffyatfcp]

I did use both compounds Tom. I started on mediums and pitted under caution for softs on lap 10/33. Check the replay.

That's not what the replay showed but I'll get it checked out mate 👍

Sure thing kartman

On mine it says I did??? And I remember changing under caution. It’s when Joe got held up in the pits and I gained the position.

It might be my replay or something, if you've got the replay could you take a couple of pictures showing your tyre compound for me?

 

[Knelly]

Tom / Smuffy, watched the replay back from Smuffy, and yes, he was on Softs the whole race. Maybe he thought he was on Mediums to start, but wasn't.

Guys, watch Pawal from about Lap 7 to 8. This is why I had to call a competition caution. Just look at his lag for those two laps or so, it hilarious.

You may have to make a decision here Tom, as he was the main lag culprit at Indy Road as well mate.

 

[cgr-10]

Penalty will stand, also another one I had to give really.

IndyWolf 5pts Causing engine damage under caution, lap 8.

We'll see Knelly, it did look pretty bad back there.

 

[Matty]

I'll check my replay later for smuffy and see what it says. Will either confirm softs all race or cause a lot more confusion.

 

[PAWEL17]

Well, i really enjoyed the challenge with these cars. But have accepted to leave, to give you people the best quality connection in racing. Sorry for any grief.

Brett just said this happens ocassionally where compounds show differently. In his case, only his replay showed his true compounds. If smuffy can produce photographic evidence i'll drop the penalty 👍

Unlucky mate, shame to see you go but very big and kind of you to accept it. 👍
