GTP Nascar Nationwide Series - Series Champion: Spurgy 777

[Müle]

The one on the back stretch is probably fine, seeing as it was on the last lap. I tried not to cut him off and figured (and was hoping) he'd go to the outside sooner.

Then after he did go to the outside, I moved back up to try to get a better line for the corner (which happens all the time; behind driver pulls alongside and both of them move up to get a better line). He had gotten beside me at this point, and I ended up not turning in quick enough and tapping him. Probably less fine, I don't know. I don't want to make a call on it seeing as I was involved.

If someone on a neutral team wants to look at it and give their opinion, be my guest.

 

[Carbonox]

I only went full throttle because of Furi's pushing... didn't want to get sandwiched which would've definitely ruined my race right there.

 

[RedPartyhat]

Yea I didn't quite understand what happened with that start. I lost 4 positions for no reason. Hopefully stupid stuff like that doesn't happen in the future.

Same, I lost 5, no idea what happened.

 

[Müle]

Right, so, for all the Europeans here, the start's going to be an hour earlier for you. The clocks went ahead here, so I'm only 4 hours behind you now until yours changes.

I hope this is okay for everyone.

 

[RedPartyhat]

Clocks have changed 3 days ago?

For us, yes. Europe changes there's in a few weeks.

For us, yes. Europe changes there's in a few weeks.

In Europe it changes on last sunday of March...

Noted mate, and have made the team aware again.

Any chance of the tables being put up before the race on Saturday, or are you going to wait now till after HSR?

 

[RedPartyhat]

Will Spurgy continue his dominance on road courses? Or will Akmuq spoil Spurgy's success?
Or will any of Pheonix even show up this week?

Find out tomorrow only on GTP NASCAR NATIONWIDE S3

 

[Knelly]

There's four names on my list who can win. Should make for a great race. 👍

 

[chrisjohnson93]

i can turn up as an independent tomorrow can't i?

i'm wanting to race due to me not racing until the 29th because of furi's holiday

 

[Müle]

The tables are updated, except I need to copy/paste the code to factor the drops into the total. I'll do that after the race.

Chris, There will be open seats available for sure. There are no "independents" here, unlike in Trucks, but just show up and we'll tell you what car(s) you can drive.

 

[neljack]

Where are the tables maybe Im blind cant see the OP?

If that's ok, I'll be racing this afternoon. Is the #14 still available?


EDIT: Scratch that, I thought we would be racing Spa today... misread the schedule...

Mule i'm sorry from my move on lap 22 when i tried to pass you in last corner from outside - that was dummiest thing that i have done long time. You slowed me little down (lap times) and I was so hurry to pass you and tried to catch Niop and RedHat. Luckily we both stay on track and didn't wreck from that move.

Edit: Just noticed when watched (replay) how RedHat and Niop worked together if we have done same we could have been 1st and 2nd. Lesson learned.

Edit2: Could you add in OP that when on road courses keep two tires between white line (or something like that) so that things like was in HSR on last corner would be clear (i thought that it was ok to go wider to outside - sorry for that too).

 

[RedPartyhat]

Only 9 people showed up, 7 ended up racing, 5 ended up finishing. It hasn't been this bad in a while, I know the clocks changes but I mean c'mon. I thought HSR was a pretty popular track. If we can't get people to make this time slot, should we move NW to the old SC time slot?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I don't know why you thought HSR is a popular track. Sure, it provides a lot better competition than other road courses, but mostly it's just a draft fest all the way.

 

[Spurgy 777]

Counted the laps, somehow I managed to lead the most again despite not leading one after my pitstop

Me 11
RPH 10
Jammy 8
Niop 5
Mule 1

I think Smuffy did a great job of holding others up so you wouldn't get passed.

Thought you led the most anyway 👍

 

[Knelly]

Tom, as you are in the Joey Lagano car this weekend, I want no retaliation to whoever is in the #11.

Keep it off track

 

[Müle]

Sorry for being inactive this week. I'll get everything done that I need to tonight.

 

[Müle]

tales updated. Let me know if there are any mistakes

It's already there.

-While cornering on road courses, two tires must remain completely on the tarmac/concrete/pavement at all times. Rumble strips are NOT considered part of the tarmac/concrete/pavement.

That part before the last turn is still technically a turn. I had forgotten that Drop let us use that in SC last season (i donno why), so there wont be any penalties or anything, but you really shouldn't go there.

 

[jammy21]

Yeah it's kind of confusing place. Some other race series it was also allowed to go wilder. It's concrete so i assume it's ok to go there.
Same goes to Deep Forest Raceway track there is that one corner and always you have to ask if it's ok to take shortcut or not.

 

[Ganon83]

Anybody got a ride for tomorrow?

 

[Furinkazen]

Anybody got a ride for tomorrow?

One at ford, contact carbonox.

 

[RedPartyhat]

So how about we get 14 to start tomorrow? Better than 5 @ HSR right?

Also I'm sad that my name wasn't in the OP title when I won

You should have taken HSR somewhere like Niop did to Indy.
