GTP WRS-Online : Event 35 : In the Mood for Some Italian - May 9

[mohitraina91]

My best is 1'52.267 (Splits=31.509, 38.184, 42.574) and I'm going quite deep into the stint before hitting 1'54s.

Que?

Or are you running Monza without the chicane? .

Moar practice needed I guess.

The poll is closed and the premium version has won (6-1) over the recommended garage version. Drivers must purchase this car from the new car dealership to participate. Paint them however you like.

I have a couple fully broken in and will gift them upon request. 1 per day of course.

The registration form has been updated to allow any color entry (just re-register to update your color) and the OP is being updated to reflect the new regulations.

 

[AspecBob]

Registered for NA. I could also gift the car if anyone needs it.

 

[WRP001]

A reminder guys, you are free to change your colors now to whatever you want to paint the car as we're using the premium garage model.

Lucas and I did some testing last night and I was surprised at the draft -- or lack thereof -- with this car. Passing isn't going to be as easy as anticipated. Must be the sleek shape of the Lambo and it's low aero profile and lack of wing... the car doesn't seem to push much air.

You can definitely get a little run and close in on a car in front, but it's going to take a really big advantage on exit to pull off a complete and clean pass even after Parabolica. A small lift by the the lead driver in Parabolica will open the door of course. I would expect if the following driver gets a good launch and is able to pull along side by the start of the brake zone that the lead driver may have to concede the position from the outside going into the chicane. Going to be a tough call for sure, but given the race is fairly long hopefully the usual courteous driver attitude here will rule the day. As tires get lower at the end of stints speed differences should increase and aid passing as well.

Dirty air is not terrible, but the front does push a bit more in a few spots when following closely.

The car sounds and feels great though in stock trim. It will be a fun drive. 👍

PS> If I remember correctly there are definitely speeding penalties on pit entry so we'll have to watch out for that.

Yup, you remember correctly. Don't go quicker than 150kmh and it should be fine

 

[Gravitron]

Surely this color will win me the race!

I give you...Rosso Monza!!

All broken in and ready to shred some tires. My avatar is pointing at YOU.

Is your driver pointing at me or looking at his watch wondering "when is this photo shoot going to end so I can grab a donut?"

 

[jammy21]

I'm in EU.

I can't get near that 1.52

My best lap time after little test was something 1.57.

 

[Speedy6543]

Sorry but I won't have a trading slot to spare if anybody needs to be provided with the Lambo.
I still need to send mine back and forth, DLC painted.

You callin' me slow?...at takin' pictures?!?

I gave him a donut for his pose, but then he immediately entered the 48hr fasting phase that precedes each weekly race, to save precious weight.

I would say very nice to drive.

 

[WRP001]

The main lounge is set up and open for practice. I'm host, but I'll be away for the next hour plus so go ahead and run races or do whatever you want and I'll join when time permits.

 

[OZ]

Hey guys, just confirmed for the NA race. 👍

 

[Gravitron]

Awesome, Joe. Hopefully I give you a more competitive race than I did in Rakete.

 

[mohitraina91]

Had to leave, but that was a really fun battle Speedy 👍.

 

[Speedy6543]

Grids of 9 and 8 confirmed drivers. 👍

EDIT:
Yeah it deffinitely was Mohit. 👍

 

[hasslemoff]

I've confirmed for tomorrow.

Didnt get chance to join the practice tonight, are you still running around 1:52s.

 

[OZ]

Awesome, Joe. Hopefully I give you a more competitive race than I did in Rakete.

I got lucky with tire wear and pits in that one! Amazing, what I've learned since I started racing with you guys! Still not fast, but a better driver. I will keep trying to apply what I am learning from everybody here, and hopefully be in the way more.

 

[Speedy6543]

Me and Tim had some great battles in our flashy painted Lambo's with this 15 lap race.

Hopefully 'twas a prelude to what we'll see tomorrow. If so I may have to ditch the shirt and go topless 'cause it'll be intense. What would I do if I had to wear a fire suit?

 

[Hydro]

***Warning***
I've just confirmed I'll be in the NA race 👍
I'll be using that little batman controller thingy that came with my PS3. Give me a lot of room when you pass me, or just wait until I go off track in the next corner
I'll be online for a bit tonight to see how difficult this will be

 

[Zubski]

I'm in the lounge now running some laps. Is anyone joining soon?

 

[AspecBob]

I'll have a quick bite to eat and I'll be there!

What custom changes you can do to the car? Go Auto: Paint. What about wheel change? Aero parts?

You can paint the car, change and paint the wheels, but aero parts and any other modifications cannot be added to the car.
