I really feel for you mole.. Good to see that you're keeping your temper under control.. But I bet you was pretty upset just when it happened.. I thought to my self "Oh,, maaaan.. I really feel for you buddy" durign the race when I saw that you got DC'd.
Really sad to Josh go as well.

Well, D2 drivers probably don't mind though. Since Ravellron (Where the **** was he??) did not show, winner in D2 will recieve points for 5th overall since no one that DC'd completed at least 85% of the race (I guess), and all other GT300's will move up the point scale accordingly.

Yep, me and Remy pulled a 1-2 finish. We had a startegy worked out pre race, but it was erased when I went of after 8! turns.. Had to let the whole field pass before I could rejoin.. So decided to tweak my strategy a bit.

I had far from a perfect race, but me and Remy found eachother on the track a while in to the race, so we worked together for 15 laps or so to pull a decent gap.. When I did my last pit stop, the AI told me to refule 26 litres.. I was like: "WTF!?!?".. Had 13 laps to go, and a decent amount of fuel in my car already.. But since I had a good shot at the win, I decided not to put anything on the line, the pack was still pretty close to eachother, and if I rn out of fuel, I would've probably be passed by the whole field.. Did not want that to happend.. I'm sure you guys know what goes on in your head at that point.. Only seconds to decide what to do.. So I had to sit in the pits for quite some extra time, and because of that, Remy passed me, and NEPALII caught up.. NEPALII then cought me up on my 2nd lap. But since I knew I had better tires, I decided to let him pass me..

And by doing this, I was hoping to save my own tires, and at the same time give Remy a few extra seconds..
Well, on our (Me and NEPALII) way towards Casio Chicane, I was up his rear.. Decided to put a bit of pressure, so decided to brake side by side, forcing him to take a wide line thru the chicane, loosing us some time, and gaining remy some (At this point, I guess Remy was 10 seconds ahead).
But exactly when I pull out to start to brake, NEPALIIs car "jumps" 20 ft forward.. And all of a sudden, I found my self going way to fast since I did no longer was even close to be alongside.. I did manage to reduce my speed by quite a lot, and would've made the inside.. Problem was that he (obviously) reached the turn in point before me due to the "jump".. So I had no where to go. The contact was minor, and I really hoped it would'nt have caused him any damage. But apperntly, it did. :boggled:

Well, that aside, me and NEPALII had a few good laps battling eachother, but when his tires eventually got worn, and my tires ws still in good shape, I decided to pull away in the first sector.. No luck.. The tryed again, and this time I got away..

So I had 12 seconds to catch to reach Remy.. 6 laps left.. 2 seconds a lap.. to gain.. on Remy... Hmm.. Ok, I knew he had worse tires that me, and more ballast.. So I dd not see t as impossible.. ANd by the end of lap 45, I was 4 seconds behind.. He was driving on ice.. And I was able to pass comming out of casio on the last lap..

That's that. 👍

How did D2 come out?

Unfortunately, GT5 has very sensitive mechanical damage. A little tap, and bam, you get damage. It slowed me down quite a lot, and made me wear out the tyres more. Without the damage I probably would have kept up and maybe who knows win :sly:. But thats just me dreaming too much. Besides a few incidents here and there, it was a good race, had a great pace throughout the race. :)
 
I had an absolute rotter of a race.

<5 hours of sleep + an empty stomach + 1 litre of red bull = FAIL :lol:

Just a few minutes before the formation laps started I decided to down a litre bottle of the red stuff.... It wasn't long before I started to get all jittery. So much so that my concentration dampened and I lost all sense of grip, gearing, cornering, braking...racing - I felt as if I was driving a completely different car. In fairness, I was carrying 30kg of ballast, but I hadn't experienced the same feeling in previous practice sessions carrying the same amount of added weight.

For the first few laps I was surprised at Moleman's seemingly conservative pace. It looked as though both he and Atlas had a team strategy going on where he would lead and gently push so as to pull Atlas along in his draft to get away from me. It was working. My mind was all over the place thanks to the quick consumption of a litre of caffeine enriched fluids and my comprehension of even the most simple of functions - like changing gears - went out the window.
During the first few laps I saw what I thought was Josh behind me in his Garaiya closely followed by Kamy and Litchy... They weren't in my rear view for very long though. My memory fails me as to the exact order in which they eased pass but I do remember that as soon as Kamy had made his move past me he quickly trotted up to the leading two. It wasn't long before Litchy - who I'd mistaken for Josh - made his move, too. My exit out of the hairpin wasn't great and his draft was so much so that he'd caught and passed me before Spoon...now my least favourite corner in the game, but once one of my faves - I lost count how many times I went wide there. I'd managed to lose focus by quite a bit by this point and even failed to notice that both Josh AND Moleman had lagged out of the race. It was only when Moleman re-entered that I realised what had happened. Unlucky you guys...
As the race went on, so too did the deterioration of my concentration and apprehension and I don't doubt that a five minute montage of my driving could easily make it onto one of those Britain's Worst Driver type shows... :yuck:

I have to apologise to any and all who approached me during that race - especially to chorda. We pitted at similar times and on our outlap I had a moment coming out of the second Degna which meant I almost made contact with him. Sorry about that :dunce:

For me personally, a race to forget...in a hurry.

But congrats to Kamy for what I think is his first proper WSGTC win and also to chorda for pulling it back right at the last. 👍 👍
 
HortusIX: I noticed something was not right with you during the race.. Berhaps one of Kamys goons was at your house pointing a gun to your head... ;)

No problem at all regarding the Danger 2 incident.. You had a spin, but I had noticed way earlier that something was up with you, or your car.. I actually expected you to spin. Your entry was ina starnge angle, so was wery aware at the moment. I also had just the right distance to you to be able to judge your corner exit without the need to let go of the throttle.. And when I realized that you could control your spin, I just plowed thru the outside. No harm done at all.

It was strong by you to stay in the race.. And it actually payed off.. At least to some degree.. A horrible race like that, vut still gt full race completion bonus and points for 5th have to be good given the race you had. 👍

I actually think that the races we do, especially the enduros does require some proper arrangements.. Such as food, fluids (non alchoholic ofc) and to be on your toes to be able to do the race. The level in here is always increasing.. Just look at the quali times.. You have to be on top in every aspect to perform good (If your name's not Moleman, Aderrrm, tony1311 or Remy_K that is.. Those guys got talant to lean back to if needed.. :lol: ) here. And we are more and more forced to prepare well.. Perhaps I should post a diet/sleep schedule in the OP.. 💡

This. I would greatly appreciate if you put one. 👍 Every time Im done with a race I get sore arms/legs, sweats(sometimes even cold sweats, dont know if Im sick or not), hunger(dont ask why, i have no idea) and dizzyness. I think thats how you spell it. You guys should have seen me after I did the Le Mans Lotus 111rRM race(2hr.30min.). :scared:
 
Il just do quick report.


Started off really well, spun at spoon early on but i didnt mind that around lap 26/27 i went wide and turn 1, i just crused round the outside then suddendly the back end kicked out and BANG into a wall (it was a god damn tap) ended up with massive engine damage and bit of wheel damage IT SUCKED to go round a whole my way back.

Ended up last and had to fight my and found falcon on the last lap.

i think i could of made 3rd if i didnt crash ARGH! thrown away some big points
 
Fastest Lap D1

GT500
NEPALII 1.57.599

GT300
Litchi_GTPlay 2.03.834

PS: idk when Moleman got DC'd so i don't know what's his fastest time
 
I probably would have been in the exact same boat as Hortus if I had actually made the race. Still bummed that I missed out, but oh well.
 
What a disaster.
After returning from holiday I had many thinks to sort out.
I am sad to say I didn't get any where enough practice.
Which is most unusual for me as I take my racing very seriously.
Lack of practice, sleep and food. (seems a common theme) I really struggled.
I am ashamed to say I quit the race on lap 12.
I am really disappointed with myself. I should of completed the race.
So to all involved I am really sorry and it won't happen again.
Time to go practice for the next race. Well done to everyone who completed the race and especially to kami and chorda on their wins. 👍

Really? 2.03? I didn't think being so fast. Probably due to the splitstraem of the GT-R's:)
 
I only did a 2.04 so Litchi gets that bonus point 👍

Also: Paginas - if you feel like being a tea boy, you're more than welcome to come down to Sittingbourne tomorrow - I'm racing at Bayford Meadows as our European Prokart series is headed over there this weekend. Looks like it might be a wet race, but yeah, I guess (not looked, and I'm not good with geography :sly:) it's fairly close to you, if you fancy it.

Also cheers Kamy for the replay file!

Short race report

My race was anything but a walk in the park.
On lap two, I think so did Werder a mistakes I ran straight into him.
Into the pits for the first of five times.
Then there was many solo laps, but finally came up with the lead.
Unfortunately, it became once again an unscheduled pit stop when I was injured because of another player's mistake.
This was four laps before the scheduled pit stop.
The only chance now was to make one to stop and drive with the trottel fully open all the yards that were left.
Hadd at the pit stop 27sec to second.
Came out as second mede quickly to first place and then pulled away.
 
Anyway, good luck to everyone racing today, hopefully there'll be no connection issues (Seeing as I won't be there :scared: ), I'm tipping Denilson for the win in GT500 ;)

Nice to see my prediction was spot on! Looks like it was a good race, well done to Chorda and Kamy for winning their classes, nice to see some different winners for once 👍
 
Is there an official standings page somewhere please?

Stewards will have to look to replay to gather all the data from both divisions and decide on any incident report they receive. Usualy someone posts a pic of unnoficial race results. I'll go ahead and post one. This is done on the secific race thread. You can find the link in the begining of post 1 in this thread. It's one of the purple buttons.

I got some questions that I would love to get the answer to..

1. (D1) Where was Revellron? Really sad when a driver simly do not show. 👎
2. (D2) Where's RageSim.. Did he DC? If so, at what lap?
3. (D2) Where's MULE.. Think he got DC'd.. If so, at what lap?
4. (D2) Jaminix.. ? DC'd? If so, at what lap?
5. (D2) twistedfirework rage quit (Or at least to some degree as far as I understand). If so, at what lap?
6. (D2) How come no GT300's finished the race within the 180 second countdown period? Did the GT300's not lead the formation lap? If so, why?

I'll answer all those questions for you soon Denilson. Recording the replay.

I'm also gonna record and upload one D1 race from 1 driver's perspective only since I'm gonna just let it go automatically. Question is: which driver should it be?

This is what we did for the formation:
GT300s when around once then we had them start 40 seconds ahead our GT500 formation.
 
Another question... Why Masi didn't drive the Lexus. You traitor. ;)

I also noticed.
Since Masi_23 is out of this seasons contest, I assume he's trying all cars in the few races he might be able to attend to, in order to get a good idea about which car needs tweaks to the specs for season 3.

That's exactly what we also did.. Or we left 45 seconds after the GT300's to be exact.. Hmm, strange that no car finished. Guess the GT300 field had a rough race.

Record the race from RedReevos, C-Falcon or Paginas cam. They ran mid pack, and I'm sure that's where most of the action took place.

No mule or ragesim. Both no shows.
I left on lap 12. (sorry it won't happen again) I didn't want to impede anyone. I hadn't done enough practise)
 
Really happy I bet Wardez in the D2 race not bad for the bandia Lexus

Ragesim and Mule were a no show.


6. They went around and was 40 secs out when we started. I don't know why they didn't finish. Supra was just to fast? He was moving!

i agree i made a mistake but you could have avoided me instead you punted me like a football not cool
 
The incident Mole was talking about:

Went a bit wide and touch the grass...


Wich sent me into a spin


Here I was like "Oh boy. You lost it"


And... I'm a drifter. :)




Round the corner and we're safe. uff


Still can't believe I saved it.
 
Another question... Why Masi didn't drive the Lexus. You traitor. ;)

lol since i was pretty sure i wont be participating in the last few races, i thought id mix it up and test another car. Did not have time to set the car up and had gear ratios that kept me hitting the limiter (under the draft). Crashed out at spoon after taking a fone call. Pretty lonely race :/
 
4. (D2) Jaminix.. ? DC'd? If so, at what lap?

Rage quit i believe - i saw him going everywhere (gravel, grass, etc)

I'll be running the reply today to get the fast laps.
