GTP WRS-Online : Special IX - Greatest Hits Vol 2 - Nov 10-11

[Worst_Driver]

Room number ? I'd like to join too

 

[WRP001]

No room number, go to the private GTP_3D3Racing lounge. You can click on the Community tab and scroll way down the user list to GTP_3D3Racing as it's a level 0 account. Also, if any of the other drivers are on your friends list you can go to their slot under Community and click the little "yellow dot" next to the tea cup lounge icon to follow them into the lounge. That assumes GTP_3D3Racing is on your friends list which I assume it is... but I'll double check real quick and add you if not.

EDIT: Yes, you are on the friends list already.

EDIT: Gotta go to my kid's soccer game... hopefully if you have issues getting in the lounge someone can assist.

I've got my pedals up off the stand and on a piece of wood. Hopefully it will remove the chance of the pedal base flexing and prevent any issues from occurring.

 

[Racingworld68]

Sorry guys, did not mean to interupt anything. I did not realize you guys were about to start the race. Got into the car I never driven before, and I only had sports Hard, on top of that I could only see 6 other drivers on track. Instead of messing up the race, I decided to go back to the pits.

 

[GTPorsche]

Had a glitch I hadn't seen before. After the race, I was stuck in the screen as if I was in the pits and waiting to get on track. Had to quit to the XMB.

 

[Worst_Driver]

Snake on the road, great event. Last time I've raced in the 3D3 racing league was when it was called the OMRS :Lol: I wanna thank Chris (Speedy) and Mohit (gooners) for helding the race.

Had great fun racing with you guys. Congratulations for the win Bart (PASM), well deserved.

Dennis (Roomboter), you're fast man. I think you'll be in D1 shortly because your driving is D1 material that's for sure. 👍

From my part, I just need to work on my consistency I was doing too many errors. Overall, it was very nice, see you next week with the GT-R at Suzuka.

 

[Ealirendur]

Had a huge amount of fun with battlin' today - had an epic first race with Rob, and a knock-down drag out tussle with Jon, Speedy and Sjaak in race 2, and all were a pleasure to race around, as usual. Hope I wasn't pushing it too much with the no-practice, but I'm hoping to get my sleep back on track - I've done barely any driving during the weeknights for 3-4 weeks, except a casual race on Fridays. No F1 tonight, so that'll help that and hopefully doing the offline TT a bit

Enjoy the races tomorrow, guys! I hope the pedals and such all work out OK.

PS: the ACR is awesome. But the gearbox still sucks.

 

[Speedy6543]

Congrats Bart! 👍

Dennis and Yannik on the podium! 👍

Had some great battles along the race!

 

[WRP001]

Wow, close finish. The Netherlands took 4 of 6 podiums spots today with a lockout on the top two spots. Gotta put an end to that tomorrow.

​

You don't know how it pains me to post that, but it's deserving.

 

[GTPorsche]

Almost made it through the race with no pedal issues. I think it was lap 25 when it started to cause a problem, but I had enough of a gap behind me that I was safe to finish in 5th so I wasn't going to mess with it. It was also up to that point where I was slowly catching up to Mohit but once the pedals started I knew that wasn't going to happen.

 

[Sjaak]

The pack:






Thanks for the close and clean racing,the race was great fun with lots of traffic.

Special thanks to Tim the race director and Chris for hosting.

Thanks for the compliment Yannik. Really appreciate it, specially from somebody who is a D1 driver. Must say the combo helps a lot.

Can't wait to race with you on Suzi

You go Tim. Race on tomorrow



Really enjoyed this race. Much and much more then the one on Motegi. Despite i finished P2 again, this was a much harder race to finish on that spot. Had great battles with Bart, especially the first stint. Door to door through the first 3 turns was really great to be part of that. I notice it was better for the both of us when Bart was in the lead and decided not to pas him anymore. While following him came up with the plan to pit earlier then him and wanted to do that while leading. At the end of lap 16 (i believe it was)
i manage that, i was in front and entered the pit. When i came out i was in clean air. I knew i had to put in good laps to beat Bart en Yannik while they where pitting. First lap after my pit i was hardly any faster but on the second lap i reduce the gape and was in the lead when Bart and Yannik left the pit. They where pretty close together and where battling it out. That was a good sign for, be cause close battles cost time. But i couldn't increase my lead like i would loved. After Bart shake off Yannik, he started to close the gape pretty fast. With only 3 laps to go and the gape was decreased to little under 2 seconds i made a mistake and broke with one wheel in the grass for the first turn after T2. I went completly sideways with 4 fire red tires through the corner. I was really happy i didn't lose to much time and ended up next to the track. Bart was now within a second and his tires where 2 laps fresher then mine. I knew that was the end of my change of winning the race. But wasn't planning to give up that easy. There where 2 laps to go and i was right on his tale. I thought if i could manage to stay on his tale by the last turn of the last lap, i might sneak by when we sprint to the finish. But i screwed up T3 a bit in that last lap. Still happy to finish so close to him. He is a D1 after all.

Thanks for the awesome race Bart. Don't want to call it epic but is was one hell of a race 👍

And off course thanks to the race stewards and admins for making this possible. Nice job guys, really appreciate it 👍

Nice pic Sjaak

 

[GTPorsche]

I might have to skip both races remaining. Depends on how my right leg is feeling tomorrow. It's really sore after today and my frustration with the pedals.

Sorry Shawn. Hope your leg feels good enough to race.

Both events are very low on confirmed drivers so if there any drivers interested you are free to drop in at the last minute. If we can't get 6 drivers to show up then we won't have an official race.

 

[GTPorsche]

If I have to, I'll show up and run as much of the race as I can. The R10 is a good combo and I didn't run the NSX race the first time, just like I hadn't done the Viper either.

 

[WRP001]

Yah, I was luke warm on the R10 combo for a while, but it's definitely grown on me and now I'll be really disappointed if we can't run an official race for that combo. I'm on the verge of cracking a 1'39.XXX and only Twissy got there the first time we ran it.

PS> I think we're going to drop the practice leaderboard in future special events. It's not getting much use and ends up being a bit extra work for little gain. It's already in the Monza Enduro, but that is probably the last we'll see of it unless people use it. If you like the feature (i) speak up and (ii) post your practice times.

 

[Gravitron]

(i) I like it, and (ii) haven't had time.

Congrats to all who had fun today, and all who will tomorrow. 👍 It pains me to miss these.

Miss racing with you Lucas. It'll pain me tomorrow to do NS-Xmen without you. I remember we had a pretty good battle for the win when we ran the NA race... that was a fun one. 👍

 

[WRP001]

The lounge is set up for the R10 @ GVS/R... now let's hope we get 6-8! Qualifying starts in about 55 minutes.

 

[Allibubba99]

Good luck guys! Wish I was at home to join in!

[WRP001]

Congratz again Bart.

Unfortunately, I'm making a habit of getting pole, building a gap early and then crashing and finishing 3rd.

Would have been interesting if I hadn't crashed if I could have avoided 1-stop traffic on my 2-stop strategy and made a race of it. Once behind slower 1-stop cars on their final laps it was basically end of story.

 

[GTPorsche]

Without my 4-5 spins (I forget how many times I actually did spin), it looks like I had the pace to battle for mid pack. I think if I had done practice with the car, I could have done better as further into the race I was running consistently.

Hopefully I do better for Fuji, if not I'll probably park it, even though I've said that many times and never did for any race.

 

[PASM]

I was lucky getting the win. Doing a 1 stopper was a pure gamble but it payed off. Jon came close to overtaking me in the end. Good race everyone.

Unfortunately I cant race the NSX men event. Have fun guys!

So no grand slam for you.

Win is up for grabs now guys... Drivers wanted.

 

[WRP001]

The lounge is setup for NS-XMen pre-race practice. Come and get it.

 

[Speedy6543]

On my way!

 

[Ealirendur]

Are you streaming, Christophe? On my way to work - good luck out there, guys!

 

[Speedy6543]

Congrats Wes! 👍

Tim and Pekka on the podium! 👍

We had an awesome battle going throughout the race Kevin! Right untill Jon came and messed it up.

Sorry Ren, didn't occur to me to stream. :/

 

[WRP001]

Fun driving the week end guys... Thanks to all who participated and especially you marathoners who made all 4 events. N0ize, JTV and Porsche I think get the iron man awards. 👍

 

[GTPorsche]

And n0ize was the only one running at the end of all four races. 👍

I think I should take that break now. Unless I can stop the issue with the pedals, I'm not going to be fully competitive for a while.
