GTP Nascar Nationwide Series | Series Champion: OwensRacing

In theory good setups leave you in the edge of spinning. Trying to make the cars as fast around the turn as possible means they will be on the edge most of the time.

I'm often about a second faster (especially at HSR and the like) on a tight setup rather than loose.

Well I was able to do one good lap then I would take turns to wide,brake to early,hit some grass. I was doing ok at the start when 2 cars spun on the 3rd lap and put me up to spots. I was doing good until I hit a patch of grass. Then I spun and hit the pit wall like 2-3 laps later.

Suzuka isn't the easiest track to stay on the tarmac. With little practice and a guess on tune. It's not a surprise to me you had some troubles.

Ya I was doing good at lap 4 I was ahead of D4,Mule & Dragon for a few minutes.

Red bull should send me a month's worth of red bull if I win the nationwide championship.

If you do, and they do, you better forward it to Mule for last week.

Lap Leaders: Grinols, neljack, mustardaddict, smuffyatfcp

Fastest Lap: smuffyatfcp (49.447)

Incidents:

Only 1 was reported, and that was between mustardaddict and Dragonwhisky on lap 46. Basically, a racing incident where mustard accidentally tapped Dragon as he was braking for turn 3. Dragon was making a move to the outside of D4LVY for position, and because of that, had to brake a little extra, which mustard didn't anticipate. No penalties. Nobody did anything wrong.


Remember that next week is the Nationwide open. All Nationwide drivers are invited to participate, and the top 7 finishers are invited to participate in the Sprint Cup Open, with a chance to race in the main event All-star race.

Great fight, Furi. You had speed but I had tire life and a pit strategy.

Do we have a Nationwide version of the Sprints.

[smuffyatfcp]

Ok, thanks!

 

[The Bman]

I will not be around for the All-Star race. Just a heads-up.

 

[Rich S]

So the whole procedure of races is going to have to be explained after he nationwide open is over, so I'm not confused.

 

[neljack]

I hope we get a couple more of a turn out than the 10/11 at Suzuka

I'm thinking of setting the field for the Nationwide qualifier by Drivers points.

speaking of which, here they are, finally:

Owens and mustard seem to swap places with each other every race, while neljack is now only 6 points behind D4lvy_ for 4th.

 

[Chqr]

Sacrificing getting wasted for getting wrecked tonight. Bring on the All-Star Race!

 

[Müle]

[Müle]

Smuffy is in now.

 

[Knelly]
