[GTR2][RACE] GTR2Series Season 2 - Good Ending vs. Sad Air Horn

[Niku Driver HC]

Spoiler: Banter about the "9 minutes waste of your life" (Rallymorten, 2015)

Some sttutering on that video, but solid quality. Both in graphics and voice, your commentary is improving. Not bad so far.

As for the race, holy hell was that a BMW showcase. No chance in hell of anyone else to disturb their power, really. That three car bump drafting was as insane as it sounds. And of course, I spent most of my time in the back of the pack, hardly doing anything of notice. Mafty is being rather underwhelming, but hopefully the Tallgeese 2 will prove to be a more effective Ferrari...

 

[Harsk100]

Spoiler: That is the best way to start.

I never thought that I could be first on the championship after Round 1. I started from 6th and took the 3rd place overall behind Lasse Larsen and Paul del Prete (DurWinning). I got a good fight with Larsen as he was right behind me and trying to overtake me. However, when Paul's BMW got engine blown, I really got disappointed for that as he really deserved to win. But anyways, congratulations to me and for BMW team for the win, because I'm very happy for the win. So, see you on the round 2! 👍

The BMWs man....hate 'em. They win together, they crash together, and even bump draft together!

That was great racing overall from the AI. A couple of hiccups here and there but nothing major (except at the end though.) 10th place for Team 67 is not bad either.

 

[rallymorten]

We ride together..

..We

win together/crash together/bump draft together

Somebody had to do that, so I might as well get it done

That should... no, it MUST be the new slogan for BMW drivers in this series. I should also add this:

win together/crash together/bump draft together/explode together

 

[RACECAR]

Spoiler: Position

Started low in the field and got 8th. Huzzzah!! Now to improve on that.

Also, holy BMWs. Sebring seemed like it was a BMW track. That'll look good for the manufacterers title.

 

[rallymorten]

If I was to describe my race with a oneliner, it'd be something along the lines of this

Spoiler: Warning: highly offensive!

Spoiler: No, seriously, it's very offensive

Spoiler: Can you handle it?

Spoiler: Are you Ready for Freddy?

 

[Lasse Larsen]

YES I'm so happy for the 2nd place..... even though Durwinning had earned the 1st position. But **** happens. Hopefully it won't happen for him again. But all in all a good day for team 28 and a good day for our main sponsor Netto.....

 

[DurWinning]

Spoiler: Driver thoughts on the final few laps

Lap 60: "Man this guy doesn't give up. Well at least it's good racing.

Lap 61: This Porsche is 3 seconds away, and I mean 3 SECONDS AWAY if it doesn't move. *Porsche doesn't move* Fine. Your loss pal.

Middle of lap 65: What the hell is that smell. Come on BMW just hold it together for half a lap.

My retiring moment: *Engine blows* S***. It's like that first mission of that one game all over again.

 

[rallymorten]

Spoiler: Driver thoughts on the final few laps

It's like that first mission of that one game all over again.

I can't think of which one that'd be, let me think for a moment..

*mumble**mumble* BMW M3 GTR *mumble* engine problems *mumble* practically on the finish line on your way to victory *mumble**mumble*

..nope, not ringing any bells

Should hopefully be able to do Barcelona this weekend. Then we'll see what might need to be done spec-wise.

Oh yeah, and I'll leave this for reasons of advertising (and because a few (ahm... one?) of those from the previous one is in this as well. May be interesting to the rest, though). It's my thread, tell me what to do and I'll drain your (car's) power

 

[raven214]

Spoiler

Not much to say here as I never saw my car lol. Good racing up front though. 👍

Well, the BMW GT Challenge series is off to a good start. When will you be adding in the Porsche and Ferrari?

 

[rallymorten]

When will you be adding in the Porsche and Ferrari?

Soon™

 

[raven214]

GT7 confirmed!

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Course Maker confirmed!

FTFY.

 

[RACECAR]

So @rallymorten, do you remember what my form said regarding my paint schemes? I was able to get my other laptop working again so I'd like to try and work on it before the next races come.

 

[BKGlover]

In addition to this, should there be anybody from the other B-Spec series (or someone who simply didn't get to signup in time, or heck, any of you already in this) who'd like to try their hand at something that involves braking and turning right (banter), I'm willing to create a secondary series running independently(-ish) of this. It won't have race videos for reasons of time consumption (most likely just write-ups), it's not likely to have more than a handful of races, but it would work as an experimental series for things planned to possibly appear in the main series at some point. When I say that, I may or may not mean car tuning.

Give me the time, and I'll get in.

Anywho...

Spoiler: Round 1

Don't know why but I just get a stupid smirk on my face whenever you talk about my car.

Also YOU 🤬 BEEMERS!

Lastly, DAMMIT HAAAARSK!

 

[Michelin]

Spoiler

Good start, then dissapeared. Nothing new.

Just got around to checking it now, plenty of time until rounds 3, 6, 9 and 10

First teaser for what the secondary series'd consist of:

Qualifying results for Barcelona should be coming in later today as well.

I want to see the standings after Round 1, but it says that I need permission to see...

That's thanks to me correcting a small error recently and forgetting to reallow visitors.

Should be back up now.

Lotus, Koeingsegg, or MC12?

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Lotus, Koeingsegg, or MC12?

Aren't there Spykers in the game as well? If there are, I'd bet on that, personally...

Not telling.

But you're not as far off as you could be.

Spoiler: Barcelona qualifying

Jackson Takes Pole At Barcelona

It's hardly a surprise that a BMW would take pole position for round 2 of the RACE GT Championship. This time, however, proved far more difficult than usual.

Due to recent BoP adjustment (which saw the Ferrari and Porsche gain 5 and 15 bhp, respectively), it looked likely that a Ferrari was to start at the very front. In the end, their best shot was 2nd, courtesy of Fonseca-Vargas.

The best Porsche qualified 6th.

Spoiler: Personal reaction

*sees two Ferraris in top 3*

*is blocked continuously in Q1 by Raven*

*blocked continuously in Q2 by Zaita*

*all of that on good laps*

*manages no better than 23rd*

*engages rage mode*

IT'S TIME TO YIFF SOME PORSCHE

(hence the change of avatar)

 

[Ameer67]

Spoiler

All that blocking but only 22nd. Disappointing.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Spoiler: Das Round 2 QF spoiler

A BMW got pole, it's still OP, needs nerf.

And apparently so does my own car, because I seem to be struggling to get a decent starting position. Other Ferraris get second place, and I'm stuck in 17th place? Behind the YOLO Swag 420 Team car? That's preposterous, preposterous I say!

 

[BKGlover]

Aren't there Spykers in the game as well? If there are, I'd bet on that, personally...

Not telling.

But you're not as far off as you could be.

I'm leaning toward it being an Exige, or at least based on one.

Also, it's apparent DAMMIT isn't doing any better than I did.

Well, the only Lotus available in GTR2 is an Elise GT car. But I'm not sure if that would be able to be competitive against the current batch of cars, unless morten used some sorcery to make it happen...

It could also be a Morgan or a Nissan 350Z, if anything.

 

[rallymorten]

Who said anything about that?

All I remember saying is it's a "secondary" series.

Oops, disregard that one then. I forgot about the "secondary" bit. Then the Lotus is more than fitting for the task at hand, I reckon.
