GTP NASCAR Truck Series S5 - Pre Season - Start Date Confirmed

[MustangRyan]

Why don't I just go ahead and say what we've all been thinking the whole time?

The likelyhood that James and Jakob actually show up to all the races is minimal, as they both missed most of the races this past season. Their "six-truck team" will be lucky to have a total of three drivers show up, on time, at any given race. As such, they should be treated as a three-truck team with six total part-time drivers, where the first three of their six to show up get to race, and the rest do not.

Also, I think any driver that did not race last season should be required to participate in a test race before the season starts with most of the truck series veterans, to make sure that a total liability is not put on track in a points race next season. There are a lot of unfamiliar names in this thread, and I think if you put them all on track together for the first time in the first points race, there are going to be a lot of very angry veterans demanding changes or walking away altogether in frustration.

Team Extreme finished well last season.

Exact reason why first race of the season is a 40 lap non-points event. Sorry to say this, but I have doubts a few of you guys will last the full season, or even be permitted to. Any on-track idiocy is (as was detailed in the first post) going to be dealt with in a lot tougher manner.

Also, Team Extreme signed Jahgee last season, he was meant to do 8 races I think - his record was 1 DNS, 7 none-shows.

Good point, well said.

I would like to put my name down again as a part timer. I will attend races as my family schedule allows, and will be a driver for hire when I can turn up 👍

The new-driver testing needs to happen before that race. At that point, you should have a fully-tested competent field of drivers. If you kick people out after that race, you don't have time to test new drivers before the first points race.

No worries Knelly 👍 - spekaing of part-time, I think Ganon's entry was part time? Joe and Akmuq full-time, with Ganon running a select schedule? Perhaps you could get in there as well.

Oh and please don't tell me it's still gonna be Silver chrome

 

[Knelly]

Oh and please don't tell me it's still gonna be Silver chrome

Oh, It's going to be Silver Chrome

 

[Furinkazen]

Oh, It's going to be Silver Chrome

Akmuq has Silver Bullet copyrighted

 

[MustangRyan]

If Akmuq ran a chrome truck last season, that means a chrome-painted truck has won three out of four truck series championships.

Michelin I have raced with and is pretty good and competent. I have been talking to other series bosses about the track record of new drivers in their series.

I think thats true as well!

And they say yellow cars are faster - noobs 💡

 

[MustangRyan]

Yellow cars are the fastest. I ran a chrome truck to keep it close and interesting.

 

[Carbonox]

Drop only won two championships because I wasn't even trying.

So what you saying, put you in a yellow car and there is no contest????

 

[Furinkazen]

Blue trucks are most consistent

 

[Knelly]

Blue trucks are most consistent

Yeah, but consistently fast / slow / good / bad / rough .... I'll let the collective decide!!!!

 

[Carbonox]

Consistency isn't worth jack 🤬 here, Furi. Only wins count, and 5 of 11 races were won by Pepsi this season.

Your asking for an appointment with the inside wall at Motegi sir

Other drivers have won the last two championships because the start time was changed to ban people who work first shift in the US.

? what?

 

[Carbonox]

He either asked what you decided about the timeslots, or has been waiting for a certain decision for long and now said "About time" after apparently believing that Furi has just decided something.

 

[james6653]

? what?

Jakob thinks I am going to be on at 5PM today. Also I was wondering what you decided on time cause you said you could move it up a few minutes so I can make it.

Err no. 8pm GMT will be start time for ALL races, including the 100 lap race at Daytona.

You can't wait until 3:40? I would be able to make every race.

 

[Carbonox]

I don't think anyone's that flexible...
