Forgot about us?! (Frown)

Just kidding, I was surprised to see yesterday I made it to the second page of the threads. There are so many leagues going on right now!

Feel free to come join us anytime!

 

[GTP_randy]

I'll be there Thursday night. I'll pick up the beetle tomorrow night and get some practice in with it.

November and December are busy months for us at home and I only had 2 days off in December. Things are settled down now. I'm on a 12 hr night shift now so I'll only be racing every other Thursday. See Y'all Thursday night.

 

[jay*doc]

Here we go, tonight is the night, break out your punch buggy's and meet us at Silverstone!

There is still time to sign up if you'd like to join in!

 

[jay*doc]

Room is now open for anyone who would like some pre race practice.

Friends only room, no number available.

If you'd like to join in, and are not friends with me yet, please post here and I'll get you sorted out!

 

[ANFD]

Hey there I have Thursday evenings open and think this is a pretty creative format that I'd like to be a part of. I'm really sorry to have missed this evenings festivities but will be looking forward to next week.

 

[GTP_randy]

Before the last race started I went to a loading screen and it just sat there, froze. Had to quit game. All the other races were a lot of fun.
Sorry I'm not going to be able to make next weeks.

 

[GTRacer22]

That was some great racing last night! Very clean and fun! 👍

 

[jay*doc]

@ANFD We would be happy to have you. Join in anytime, we are running the beetles again next week, they are a real blast, close, close racing.

@Socket68 No problem Randy! In my map, it showed you in the pits at the start, I've never seen that before. In that last race, we ran to a .030 photo finish!

@GT_Racer22 Yes it was. I am really liking the car (I hated it when I first drove it before tuning). My lap time limit was about a 1:16.8xx, if I went any lower, I would crash the following lap.

Thanks to those who came out with us last night! I'll get some photos up over the weekend!

 

[jay*doc]

Week 2 of Classic VW Beetles is coming tomorrow night @8 EST!

So, without further delay, and just in time for tonights race, Photos from Week 1 of Classic VW Racing!

Nice! 👍

 

[Latenight Rider]

for the next 2 events i will use Boss 302 mustang

 

[GTRacer22]

For the next two weeks I'll take the Lexus LFA Nurb. Ed. '12

 

[BionicDerp]

Eh, screw it. Shelby GT350 please.

For someone that doesn't tune much, go for the Hyundai Genesis. It handles really nicely.

 

[jay*doc]

As of right now I'm still leaning towards the Toyota GT86 Racing, it's done so many races for me so far, I really like the car, but it's not all that fast.

 

[Lieuthor]

Derp, thanks for the suggestion on the Genesis. Trying it out now.

 

[RacingOtaku86]

I'm leaning towards the Peugeot.

 

[jay*doc]

Derp, thanks for the suggestion on the Genesis. Trying it out now.

So what do you think so far?

I'm leaning towards the Peugeot.

He's Back! Welcome back Racing, I knew you'd come play with us again before too long!

 

[Ph1sh]

@jay*doc I gotta go with the Lotus Elise '11 I love the Lotus which are my favorite cars in the Game! Thanks Jay! Looking forward to getting back to Thursday Night Racing! Ill make sure to have a great Lotus Tune on my Lotus!

Thanks!

 

[Lieuthor]

I liked the Genesis stock it felt pretty solid. I found a tune that took it to 550pp and it was all over the place. The back end would slide out when accelerating up hill. Need to play around with the settings a bit. Not sure how it compares to other cars on the track but I was seeing 160+ mph on Mt Panorama's straight away.

 

[GTP_randy]

Jay I won't be able to make for the next few weeks because of work.
Even though there's 190 maintenance techs at this plant their still short handed on night shifts. So any scheduled day off I work their paying time and a half plus a 50 dollar bonus.
That's just under 500 bucks for one 12 hr shift. Hard to pass up that kind of money when it's available. Hopefully they'll have some more hired by the end of next month.

 

[RacingOtaku86]

After some testing, the Peugeot is not going to be the best choice for me. I'll stick with the Toyota 86 "Racing" as well.

I tested the El Camino... It's kinda balanced for what it is. And only has 2 gears!
