GTP NASCAR SPRINT CUP S3 Champs: RFLX_Niop, Joe Gibbs Racing, Toyota

[MustangRyan]

It'll be a fill in the blank round.


"I always go ____ wide on the dyno"

"I last ____ laps on tyres"

"I will talk for ____ of the race"

Five-wide. 10 tires are better than two.

0.875x, where x = the desired tire stint, in laps

the entire length of the race, plus the 10 minutes before and after.

 

[Furinkazen]

Anyway i'll try my best for tomorrow

 

[Acorner123]

Haha, how did you guess?

On another note, my replacement for Monza will be RFLXWidowmaker. He will be earning team points only.

So who's going to be racing for second then?

Widow won't be racing after all, his wheel broke.

 

[Knelly]

I wonder how many pitstops Furious will be doing.

 

[Müle]

Was the race at Monza last season with the new tire model?

 

[Knelly]

Old. It was before the update.

 

[Knelly]

Widow won't be racing after all, his wheel broke.

Trynor will be filling in for Niop tomorrow and has put some laps down already.

 

[Furinkazen]

Just dialling some early laps in at Monza, feels pretty good.

I hate missing another race, but were having a bit of a family emergency today and I likely wont be able to race again. I'm really sorry for my team/teammates that I've been absent lately :\

It's all good man, we just have to keep winning races while your gone

 

[MustangRyan]

Qualifying starts in 30 minutes.

Green flag drops in 45 minutes.

We will set the race to 31 laps, and have one pace lap. There will be a 2x rolling start to begin lap 2.

[smuffyatfcp]

I counted, 14 laps to Joe and 16 laps for Mule.
Might want to re-check lap 15 as Joe was in the pits.

 

[Furinkazen]

Great racing tonight, thanks for the drive. I lost 18 seconds with an embarassing crash but enjoyed it. Congrats to Mule as well .

 

[cgr-10]

Very happy with 6th, my chase hopes are still alive it seems. Nice racing everyone, good job Mule 👍

Nice crash Furi

 

[DrifterJoe]

...and that's what happens when you forget to test (and use the wrong gear for the lesmos for most of the race).

Too much oversteer on worn tyres.

Too much oversteer on worn tyres.

I altered one little thing on my setup to make it easier to drive but probably slower. I didn't have many problems with oversteer except a bit of sideways stuff on lap 1 due to pressure.

Chin up mate, you'll get 'em next time. 2nd is still an awesome finish 👍

 

[Furinkazen]

Yeah noob mistake

 

[MustangRyan]

2nd is still an awesome finish 👍

Agreed.

 

[Müle]

I was a nervous wreck that entire race. I knew I had a car that could easily get a top 5. Never thought I'd actually be able to win though. Honestly, I thought more people would have tried 1-stopping it

Good day for Red Bull on the cup side today. Maximum points for Me and a solid 5th for Partyhat

You also just skipped straight to the All Star Race main event for this season and next season. 👍

 

[Knelly]

I'm ecstatic. My first road course podium in these cars.

Like Mule said, I was so nervous the entire race. One mistake and great finish was gone. Knew I had a good car and was going to be happy with fifth. Third is awesome for me. Practice paid off.

Had one cut and gave a place up. Had probably two others where I inadvertently got kerb, with one falling back out of RedP's draft that I gained, and another where I felt I slowed down more than sufficiently afterwards. So, I believe I've covered any possible infringements. Will watch back though.

Mule, awesome win buddy, Joe, great second. You both ran great races today.

Great race with Red throughout, and great fourth for Try (after a win at Madrid).

Think that might put me joint second with Drop?

Nice bonus hey 👍

 

[Furinkazen]

Strange how I'm doing well despite being last at Daytona, losing a drive and being in 3 cars in 3 weeks...

 

[cgr-10]

So the Coca Cola 600 should take...like 3 hours, right?

 

[funkyDucks]

Nice bonus hey 👍

Same for you. I realised my specific criteria was too difficult but you still managed to mirror my result of a 3rd in Monza. Your prize is any giftable car of your choice.
Also well done to Mule for the win and to everyone for finishing this tricky event.

Wow thanks man, however I got third in Quali and thought it had to be fifth? Do I still qualify?

Just figured out that I think the top four in quali finished exactly the same position in race!

 

[funkyDucks]

I realised later that asking for identical qualification and race position was too much. However you finished about the same distance behind 2nd that I did.

For prize number 2 did you manage to lead a lap?

 

[Knelly]

No lap lead. So is £1m my limit?

SGR have really closed the gap on JGR, to only 6 points I believe.
