GTP SuperGT XI: Season Complete, Sassafrass_3 and LancerEvo7 Champions

[racefan88]

http://youtu.be/wUAr2jqm1A4 Here's a couple of laps I decided to record. Any feedback on my driving would be great! Also, I might hold some test sessions at Le Mans later on this week.

I would be up for practice Le Mans is my second favorite track (to the Nordschliefe).

As far as your driving try to enter the corners slower, to help with the adrenaline I usually just always plan to drive fast, sometimes it catches you out (when I hit the wall entering the bus stop early in the race). It takes time though I remember when I lead my first go kart race I spun out after pulling out a decent lead because I was starting to drive too conservative. Also, the comment about the gearing is true try to control wheel spin it will save your tires and make the car more stable.

I'm not good with car tuning and I don't want to mess it up so I'm going to only adjust the final gear but I will be sure to try and roll on the gas easier to prevent tire spin.

Can't Make it this week as i have the Night shift on sunday, and wont make it! Sorry Guys! Hopefully i get next Sunday Off. GoodLuck to all this sunday! 👍

 

[Sassafrass_3]

I have a practice session going on in my lobby. Feel free to join.

 

[LancerEvo7]

I'm having issues connecting to PD's servers. If I can't get on tonight, we'll just move on to Madrid and save Le Mans for the last race.

 

[racefan88]

What time will a decision be made if we will race? Im having no issues connecting

 

[LancerEvo7]

I was just able to get on, so I'm hoping for the best come race time.

^We'll find out when I get on to put the room up.

 

[LancerEvo7]

Room will hopefully be up in a couple minutes.

 

[Spirit]

Room is up in Lancer's lounge. Track is green for practice!

I'm afraid i wont be able to make the race tonight, sorry for the little notice. Work in the morning and the race will just keep me up too late! sorry guys!

 

[LancerEvo7]

Thanks to everyone who came today, and for being patient around the start. The good thing is, we now have a backup plan for when things go wrong. Results will be posted in a day or two. Congrats to i-was-ere on the overall win and to redbullrider for his first GTP win.

Let's take a moment to remember Allan Simonsen. Allan lost his life a month ago today in a crash at the Tertre Rouge corner. On the cooldown lap post-race, the three class winners drove in formation past where Allan had his crash. Rest in peace Allan.

Nice photo of the 3 winners. My prayers are with the Simonson family since the crash. I am looking forward to Madrid!

Nice tribute. I'm sure Allan's team AMR would be proud of it.

Is it just me or is this really awesome? When it comes to Madrid, I currently have a 1:20.471 on Racing Medium tires and a 1:19.539 on Racing Soft. All laps were ran with 30 kilograms of ballast. I am looking forward to hopefully shaving another second off. I might be holding some test sessions this week if I have the time as well. See you at Madrid!

 

[LancerEvo7]

Make sure you're running at Madrid Reverse. Classes should be pretty close this week.

Yes I was on reverse. What kind of laps are you running?

 

[LancerEvo7]

I'll be on in 15-20 minutes to put the room up. I know redbull might not make it, hopefully everyone else will be there! Good luck all.

 

[Sassafrass_3]

See ya there

I'm sure Lancer can make you a "part-timer". That is what I was in his Le Mans series for a bit.

EDIT: Good luck guys this traffic will not allow me to make the race on time.

 

[LancerEvo7]

We're holding off on the race until next week. A couple people couldn't make it, racefan had trouble connecting, and a couple other people were doing GT Academy. We'll push everything back a week and run Madrid at normal time next week.

Good news is I have my new PS3 up and going (as well as my PVR incase anyone needs Highlights). Bad news is, my GT5 disc is stuck in the PS3 that is dead. Not sure how long it'll be before it can be taken out, but I should be able to start actually making races next month.

Race highlights? That. Would. Be. Awesome.

He did them for a few races back in S9. They turned out pretty good.

 

[Ph1sh]

Sorry I haven't made it the last couple of weeks. Been working.. if I don't work on a Sunday afternoon next Sunday, ill be there! 👍

 

[Spirit]

Lancer, in your OP the Monza race (one of my favorite tracks) has a conflict of interest in terms of race distance.

 

[cueball]

Sorry I was MIA yesterday, we had a family situation that needed to be dealt with.

I'm glad the race was postponed, I hated to have 0 pts for this week. Even with another week to prepare, I'm sure I'll be way off pace at Madrid, I don't think I've ever driven a race on either of the Madrid layouts, and after a few practice laps, I can see why.
