GTP United Sports Car Championship | Season 6 | Series Finished!Finished

[cnd01]

What? Who? Why? I don't understand these references!

Seth and Braun are the only 2 people we've not wanted back. Braun was a bad driver and made polar really mad. Braun cussed a mod out when reported, and he was given the boot fairly quickly. Seth was pretty darn quick for a ds3, and he was the season 1 GT champion. Seth's issue was that he thought his poop didn't stink. He would absolutely go berserk anytime any incident happened involving him whether he did it or not. Season 2 pops into my head where Seth and I had a huge run in at Daytona. Anytime one of us had video evidence of him hitting one of us, it was immediately lag. It was comical because he would brag about how good his internet was then turn right around and blame his connection when he dumped someone. On the rest of the site, he would spew garbage at anyone who didn't think how he did. Oh btw, Andrew and Seth hated each other too which made it worse

 

[MatheusBond]

Don't seem like the kind anyone would take back. Seth especially.

Which Seth is that? Freshseth?

Seth's "cousin" still runs the 90's FIA series. Pretty good series but that thread stays quiet. I think maybe hes trying to stay low? I've raced with them a couple of times but the time slot is kind of a hit or miss for me on Sundays.

Only thing I can remember about James is that he never really raced with us. He always had drivers for him. Which I never understood. Like, do people by the game to be a crew chief?

I've got yet another snow day for my area. Loved it at first because I could use it to dial in my car for the next track. But I'm getting tired of it now. I dont think I've seen a full paycheck for the last two months now. Trying to get some money so I can build a PC and take advantage of those racing games. PC has sooo much more to offer right now.

 

[Storm_SP17]

Wow, FH.... without myself or Ant around, your really racking up the wins! Nah I'm just kidding, you'd give anyone a rough time in any race. Speaking of, how close is the racing right now?

I think all of you would get the edge over me right now, especially the P guys, I could never get to grips wth that DW. For the first time since meeting my girl, I've never been so excited at my prospects. I'm really hoping the things in place don't fall through, because It's shaping up nicely.

I really miss the racing here, and though a lot of the big NAEC races I won't partake in, I'll definitely want to make as many races as I can if/when I return.

Come back to Iracing man! It's a blast

We miss you racing with us buddy. Your connection and all I remember when time changed in America but not in Europe yet, and you woke 5 min before the race. I think you still got a top 3

iracing is where its at. There is another game called Asseto Corsa that looks really good.

My computer now is one of those all in one computers. Good for the family but not good for gaming. Its gonna take me a while to put this next pc together. I need to slowly buy all the parts seperately. Everytime I go for a mock build the price just keeps getting higher and higher. Ive seen some do a build with a $500 budget. I dont see how though. The processor and grapics card alone is that much.

If you get iracing and assetto corsa you are set for a long time.

I have too much in IR to go for AC. Iracing has prettt much everything i want except touring cars (which they are working on)

Hope to have you back on there soon!

What setting are you running with iracing? Looking for something that will handle the graphics without loosing fps.

 

[polarbear345]

Pretty much everything on the lower settings. It looks just fine though. I get like 120 with my stock graphics card on low settings. When I turn on the fancy shadows I get about 55-60 depending on the track. Its a 1 gig card that came with our xps 8300 or 8700 (cant remember)

But it was never boring, especially when there was an incident between them.

 

[FlyinHawaiian77]

I know we're only 3 races in, but it seems like there arent as much cautions called this season. I know back then I used to rely on them to help me catch back up to the field. I remember a race we had at Daytona and a caution was called with a couple of laps left in the race. The field got bunched up again and the race went all the way down to the last lap. Cant remember who I was racing with, but it made for some really good white knuckle racing.

 

[polarbear345]

I have to agree. Looking back on it there was always something going on.

@fh not many cautions. The caution callers seem to have moved on, however people just haven't called them. There were at least two at Daytona that were not called. I remember a few races that were very close because of them too.

Who knows how many potential entries they scared off, but it was fun to watch. I'm honestly really impressed how well polar has done through the seasons. Hopefully, we'll be able to continue this with better connections.

The cautions have really made some good finishes over the years. I was glad when we implemented them. I realize they cause more incidents, but the guys we have here are fair and don't get their panties in a wad. I'm glad we're mature enough to handle these.

Always fun and exciting

i racing doesn't have my Red Bull X1 cars which I hold dearly. I do believe you have to pay up $$$ & jump through hoops to get in the Williams F1 in i racing? Do you have that car polar? Do they just have 1 F1 or multiple?

I do have the Williams. Only one F1 car. If you have the right mentality to get to class A you can do it in two weeks now.

Honestly, I haven't ever done a official race in it. I much prefer the GT cars. It is a lot of fun to drive when you have a good setup though, just good luck figuring the setups out at first

It is a lot of money, but if you space it out it really isn't bad. A year is 50 bucks on black friday, and buying things in groups of 6 gets you 20% off. Then once you have 40 items total you get 25% off every item you buy. I have to say it is a night and day difference though. I really enjoy it.

 

[MatheusBond]

The subscription thing puts me off a bit, but I like iRacing very much. I'm considering switching (not fully though), once I get a decent desktop PC.

Once you get on a yearly routine of getting the subscription it is not bad at all. I think you guys would all enjoy it!

 

[cnd01]

It's a blast once you get out of rookie. It took me awhile because I'm really aggressive

Yeah, I saw that they put a lot more emphasis on how safe you are, not how fast.

 

[LancerEvo7]

Speaking of cautions, in that Monaco race with the controversial finish, I never called caution but was demoted to last as if I did.

 

[MatheusBond]

Stop making references I don't get, dammit!

 

[TDZdave]

I just love Mazda's MX5 cup cars at lime rock!

I haven't raced much Mazda after the new tire model. Cnd and I just race the mustang and gt3 series mostly, with some NASCAR thrown in for good measure.

Dave you just needed to cruise through some races to get your license up so you could race the clean series!

@Lancer that finish was so messed up it's not even funny

 

[RACECAR]

I've haven't gotten past rookie yet, but that's because I haven't done any actual races and just hot laps. Only Vehicle & track I've purchased was the Silverado and Mosport (because NCWTS). Currently considering getting the Mustang Nationwide car and Mid-Ohio (or Road America) next.

I'm abit nervous about doing that though as I don't have a lot of miles in iracing, there's also the fact that I have to race other rookies, which usually means all the Yuji Ides, Ej Visos, Danica Patricks and Memo Rojas of the world collide (literally) for one fuster of a cluck.

Start from the pits. Don't pass anyone, chances are they'll wreck themselves and you can skate right on through
