Well it's already 7am for me, but I guess for this one occasion why not.
I wish I could watch my V8Supercar races live.

Are races used to be at 1030pm est but when it was we all would wait till the race was over to start so we always started later with earlier start now i believe the race starts at 730pm est so if we could start at 630pm would be perfect just a suggestion though. If not no big deal. 👍

Have a question for you guys what do y'all think about starting the Suzuka race at like 6pm est. Asking because in past events in this league we wouldn't start are races till after NASCAR race on Saturday nights but with some from other countries would be best to start earlier before NASCAR race.

👍

Oh ok just wondering im definetly not missing Nascar race at Bristol thats for sure. I will miss the race at Suzuka before i miss a Bristol Race specially after and they re-did track again.

👍

Better then a pre-season football game lol.

But ya race is 7et so they probably won't start till 730 and they're race is helluva lot longer so doubt you'd miss half of it even when we got done with ours. I know I plan on running to watch it right after our race saturday.

I have no problem with an hour early start. If anything thats better for me since races are 12:30am. But if it means anyone misses out due to starting earlier then I dont know if its a good idea.

Boshuter is only one I can think of right away that might have a problem with the earlier start time. But ya if there's anybody that couldn't we shouldn't leave em out.

You mean "boss-hunter"...

Any target times for suzuka? I sure love this track. Probably ran around a thousand laps around here in total from GT5 Prologue to GT5. Hope my lil arta can do good here.

You and your arta will be tough here IMO even with that long straight you got a lot of handling speed for the rest of the track and I know you love this track. I either have a decent race here or make 6+ offs haha. Haven't ran any 300 laps yet in my sub here but I'll let you know.

I sure hope so....This track is challenging and mentally draining. It'll be a good drive just if you can keep her on track and not make any mistakes....

 

[KingBestJr]

We can just start at the same time as usual then. No biggie. Ill let yall know for sure later in the week or maybe Saturday itself if i will race or not, not to sure yet. But i will definetly qualify.

 

[ZachAK47]

I'm slow. And only got one clean lap. But it was a 2.00.6xx, so 500s that's a very VERY early target.

Please be aware that this time last week I was running 1.46.9xx at Daytona, and fastest in practice i got down to was a 44.4xx lol.

Also I'm happy to race an hour early as well, races end at touching 3am.

I don't have a problem with starting early this week if you all want to. I'd rather not do it regularly though, at least until winter and after the time change when it gets dark earlier.

You would be surprised how many people do that. I'll explain where "boshuter" came from; I used to really be into target archery and shot in 3D and NFAA indoor tournaments, boshuter is just "bow shooter".

I ran about 15 laps last night with my regular tune and just played with gearing a little, at the end I was running mid 55's. Keep in mind there is a LOT of room for improvement, this is not one of my good tracks.

Ooooooh I see. Makes sense. You're running 55's? thats the times the 500's are running...

LMAO.... sorry, 2:05's

 

[joetruckv8]

I prefer where the time is at because if its day a trip with the family I'm back home by 4:30pm PST, and if I have to do a night thing with my girl its usually after 6'30pm PST so this is a pretty good window for me, but then again I'm PST!

I would pick later than sooner'

 

[XzMiKEzXzCANZEz]

early start time next week wait what lol

 

[kk20]

LMAO.... sorry, 2:05's

Dayum. Monster time.

EDIT: POST NUMBER 2000!!! Monumental.

 

[VELOCI_2NR]

I'm going to say the 500's will run 55's-56's and the 300's are going for 2:01's-2:02's. I havent run any laps here yet, and I will make a pole qualy run, but will have to miss the race

2:01-2:02's? Holy **** Best I've done so far is a 2:05. And that was with quite some effort.

 

[Slideways88]

I could be a couple seconds off, since I forgot to take into account the 500's only have 433 hp. They'll probably be in the 57s then, making us in about the 2:03 range. I don't doubt we could run those times.

In a series last year I would set 55's with 502 bhp but this is someone of my quality. The front runners in this series will be able to match that time with 433 bhp. I think your estimate may be correct.

Last season we ran 500s with 414HP, but they also had engine upgrades. Our times were low 56s for qualifying. 56.2 was pole, 3rd was 56.3. And we qualified on racing softs.

Oooh ok. So I guess an alien time for 300's will probably be a low 2:04 high 2:03.

That was on RS probably. We're on mediums now. I used to get 53's and drop down to the 52's on a flyer with RS at 502hp. But that was when I used to run JGTC cars all the time.

It was in Gamestaa's series using RM's. WRP I believe it was who stormed to pole with a low 55. But never mind.

 

[KingBestJr]

Just ran a few laps at Suzuka, i got down to a 1:57.3xx but there is some more out there couldnt put a whole lap together yet. I definetly see 56's in my future lol.
