Thanks Nep. Best I'd managed in free practice was a 1:42.9 so needless to say I'm very happy with a 1:43.0 - Even managed to miss my braking point for Turn 1 so was a couple of tenths down to start off with.. :scared:

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if someone (or more than one person!) sneaked a 1:42.
 
Posts like these should go in the main thread ;) But welcome anyway 👍

Off topic a bit (aren't I a hypocrite), but decided to christen my Denso and give it a name. Which sounds best: Smouldering Sally or Red Robin? :sly:

I do apologize. I want to join this series real bad. Love the GT500 & GT300 Series. Awesome racing with these cars.👍

Will try to sneak into the 42's :sly:
 
So, for GT500 group 1:36's are good times? I saw last season was like a 1:35.2 or something but what is good now?

I would say 1:38's are good, anything better is very good
 
If you're Vettel or Tony, then yes, 36's are a good time. Mortals should be aiming for high 37's.
 
Yeah the 35s ect ect times are on Mediums while qualifying is done on hards ;).

Ill be lucky to get a high 43 round here so far my best is a 44.6 :scared:.
 
Which starting line are we using,the Sega sign were the timing line is or the one farther down were the standing start line is?
 
Got some practice done, managed a PB of 1.43.122. Not bad, I think I can squeeze into the 42's. John did a scary 1.42.4xx :scared:

I had one of those rare golden moments practicing with Nep, hitting several 1'42.4 and 1'42.5. Then 15 min later, I struggled to get into the 1'42.

Maybe a 1'42 is possible in qual, but I will be happy to get something around 1'43.0.
I don't think I'm very good doing qual actually as when pressure is on, I rather go for consistency.

I'd recommend starting under the Total sign.
 
A mid 42 even in practice is fantastic. I could theoretically manage a 42.6 in the Garaiya if I hit my best sector times through a whole lap, but easier said than done :scared: - best of luck with your lap when you go for it.
 
There is no Total sign at Fuji.

Oh jeez, totally blanked out on that, still thought it was Spa this week for some reason. Just trying to help out.

But yeah, why would it start anywhere but the start line? When we run Suzuka we always start it at the starting line, not the lap line.
 
I'll be on today around 6-7 gmt for some practice. Can do someones qualify if they like. After that I'll be on after 9 pm pst for anyone in NTSC. I'll post the room when I get on.
 
Managed a 1.42.976 last night on practice. Honestly, a 1.42.7, .8 is my limit here if I can nail the final sector. I hate those last corners, so tricky!! If I get a flat 43 on Q, I am a happy fella. :D
 
I'll be ready to qualify at around 9-9:30pm pst tonight. I'll look for a steward in one of the rooms. Thanks.

Nice! I tried to join you guys, couldn't. I have some stuff running on my pc online. Probably why. But I'm in NTSC-1 with Plc for now. I'll be back on 9 30 pm pst to help out and submit mine as well.
