Had a lot of fun on GT5 today racing with everyone. Razor and I wound up racing wheel to wheel fender to fender successfully for like 10 laps total at Spa, imagine that LOL.
RAZOR IS BACK !?!?!?!

Won't be able to make it tomorrow. Just a heads up.
k , thx for posting

I'm aiming for top 7 today, I don't believe I have any chances on this track, especially not when I haven't practiced at all.

me 2 :(

i must say it feels good to be back, got alot of practicing to do and alot of tunes need to be made especially for the new track spa

RAZOR IZ BACK!!!!!!!!!!

Managed one 57.9 i think in the bmw (drove a million different cars lol) but not consistent at all... Going to suck.... And if rain, pure hell.

i may just show up in a different car today......


12/10/11

I'm gonna make up some rules on the spot a la FIA style ( Silverstone anyone ????? )

* Todays Race will have wx, But the track will be reset when the lobby opens and AFTER THE QUALIFYING RACE
Possibility of rain during qualifying / practice but the whole race will not be 100% wet like last week suzuka


* You will have 40 mins to set quali time today instead of 30 once lobby is opened / Then Quali Race / Then Real Race

* WX Settings will stay
-4 for Changability
- 0 WX to start
- 0 Surface water

Speed 8 Weight is reduced to 40KG ( I think this is unnecessary - but ill do it )

Speed 8 & Audi R8 HP limited to 690

Also I may just show up with a new car today........

Also hope paginas shows because he is the only that can beat jamm

That is all
 
Hey I might miss the quali race, I have to pick the wife up from work at 1. Can I still race even though I miss the quali race?? I don't mind starting shotgun if that's what I have to do, lol.

yea thats fine
 
I have a super hang over and feel like **** however I've just ordered a dominos which should sort it out lol

I have no answer to jam and spa for some reason is not my strong track even tho I love it lol
 
That limit to Audi hp was solely based to stop Vettelfan....


wtf are you talking about :dunce:..... that limit has been there since the pre-season race
If i wanted to stop jamm ill make him race on Hards or 650 hp. or 1050 kg total weight...........

I'm sorry but I would say its untrue the r8 and speed 8 should have lower bhp or pp

I would also lower the gt one but not my series lol

i would also, but i dont think anyone drove one last week... and in being fair i wont change it the day of the race

Well first of all, limiting the Audi in the area its poor at all ready is silly. Just ban the extra wing, and you say it requires trust? Well, doesn't the +60 (or now +40) kg require trust as well? The Audi is already at a slight disadvantage then the others at top speed/acceleration. Limit the area where it excels is what it should be but then the GT-One would need a little HP reduction too.

Then why have your brought it up now and portraying it as a new rule??
 
that's why it should be done by pp so the Audi can lower its wing and add more bhp but maybe we should talk about it for next series.

The only new rule is the speed 8 weight has been cut from 60 to 40 and wx will be reset. & Weight has always been enforced.
If that is new to you have never looked at the regs

Why would I look at the regulations considering I'm not even in the series?
 
I have discovered why I thought the race wasn't happening last week. It was because BK wasn't in the online section of my friends and Jamman didn't reply saying the lobby was open. Jamman not replying... well. But as for BK, the reason for that was that he deleted me from his friends list without saying so I am currently waiting for BK to accept my friend request as I have been for the last 5 minutes. -.-

Now quali starts in 5 minutes so if you guys do it without me and then BK accepts my invite, I want a re-race because that clearly isn't fair.
 
Golfer you were deleted cuz you dropped out. And new guys joined i needed space so you got cut.
 
I only dropped out for half a season. What are the chances that when something unexpected and exciting and last minute doesn't happen to Peter, it is the week I can race. However, from the brief while I was in the lobby, I saw that the weather was looking very nice.
 
Can't bleieve I threw away pole in Qualifying by starting it on bloody Racing Softs with heave rain! Ruined my race, to be honest, was looking good for the win, with everyone else behind me.

Anyway, solid 5th place in the race today, from a strong drive after my 1st and 2nd pitstop. Disappointed, because if it weren't for a love tap from Jam on lap 1 putting me off on the run up the hill, I could have done far better. That, and other mistakes I made today. Consistency is a lot better with my new setup, but still not race winning consistency.

Looking forward to La Sarthe now, where I hope to see a GT-One whitewash! :)
 
Very mad at myself for crashing.. then this happened:

CircuitdeSpa-Francorchamps.jpg


Oh noooooo... engine damage, lost 30 seconds in total :(

No offense, Peter, but how could you not miss me? :boggled:
In theory, if you hadn't hit me I would've gotten 5th, but you never know...

Jamman and Johny in their own league in terms of speed, but that's nothing new.
 
I had 1 major spin when jam over took me. Then when i finished spinning I saw a face full of niss ha sorry dude
 
Great race from me, i started from 14th on the grid, my first stint was not that good i lost 21 seconds too the leader, then some guys like freshseth and Paginas got into the pits and had no traffic and was hammering down the laps was 0.5s per lap faster then jake, lap 10 i did go into the pits and the pit-crew did a very fast pitstop 👍, i came behind Paginas and started putting pressure on him then 2 laps later i managed too overtake him on the Kemmel Straight, i closed the gap too mu aswell i overtook him at the Kemmel Straight (was my favorite spot too overtake!) my dream came true at that moment Sauber C9 my favorite car in The LEAD!!!!!!! never expected that, lap 21 i made my final stop (good job pit-crew once again:tup:) and came out behind Paginas again, i managed too overtake him and close the gap too tissimo, thanks too joetruckv8 i made the pass on him at the last corner :) and then it was a matter of time before i caught jake, passed him on the last lap with a pretty good battle wasn't it jake?, btw good job once again jamman for winning the race, you are really on the fire!!!.


This Was my report from the Spa-Francorchamps, hope you enjoyed it.
 
Well, what can I say. What a race. Result and fun wise. 12th on the grid to 1st in the race, with some great racing and enjoyable side by side action. That's one thing I've missed over the last few races. The special point been the three corner battle with Razor where I got him round the outside of turn 1 but then he got side by side with me going up to Eau Rouge and to avoid a huge accident I reluctantly backed out half way up lol. Real racing. And yeah, with a risky one stop strategy eventually ending up with another win at the series first visit to Spa. So very happy. Congratulations to everyone who took part as always and to the two other podium sitters, Niss and Jake :)

This Was my report from the Spa-Francorchamps, hope you enjoyed it.

Yeah, your report sounds very similar to mine. Great job today


Disappointed, because if it weren't for a love tap from Jam on lap 1 putting me off on the run up the hill, I could have done far better.

You mean on Kemmel straight? All I saw was you behind me then I saw you spun. There was a LOT of lag on that opening lap, so I'm quite confused as to a lot of things that happened. I'll have a look at the replay for answers. Nothing malicious was intended though
 
Why would you be posting then?

Well, I never recalled ever seeing this update and the last time I checked was when I raced last season. Of course I quickly looked before this season but missed it. Not sure why BK had to announce it again but ah well..

You just proved your own point, which was idiotic at best all along, to be complete garbage.

Its not idiotic. Its punishing Vettelfan and you know it. There was no complaints last season about it and its no use saying, well the others weren't as fast (no offence) as the fact still stands that they'd have had an 'apparent' advantage.

Also, I thought all the complaints were about its downforce? Not its top speed so it makes more sense to ban the extra wing rather then limit the top speed? As I said before, yes it would be hard to implement but would require trust which is what is already happening with the guys racing in the Bentley. I'm not trying to start a war, just a little more common sense.

Anyway, it seems Vettelfan won again! Congratulations mate and I guess it was a (dare I say) dry race for once! :P

EDIT: Bombe, if the 787B wasn't crashing then I'd say that was a very good picture IMO.

Thanks mate. Yeah it was dry, but a wet qualifying 👍

Very glad you retired from the series or I think you'd be the one in my position now lol :L
