Hello everyone,
Miata13b/Alex here to announce The "I'll Owe You Won Racing" Endurance Team. What started as a jokingly funny name for Car number 68 in @flip55's inaugural Racing League the GTTCC GTTCC thread has become more of a reality after participating in @AJ 24 Heures Du Mans 24 Heures Du Man's thread


I founded this team envisioning something bigger then just racing. First and foremost the number 1 rule of "I'll Owe You Won Racing" is to have fun, laughing is highly sought. We are looking to gain the best experience out of any endeavour we commit to, the only way to give our best is the have the best possible time doing it.

"I'll Owe You Won Racing" started with the second series @flip55 put together, the GSCC The team grew with the addition of @draqua_fresh. During the preseason of the GSCC "I'll Owe You Won Racing" was presented with the chance to run a car in the GT-S class for the 24 Heures Du Mans. With this opportunity, @Nail-27, @euclid58, and @gtp_Tenderly joined the ranks. It was a valiant effort we put together for this young team although we fell short of our goals for the race. This was the leading moment into creating a program for every racer looking to run endurance races. We will also be fielding racers in shorter race series.

We follow and obey GTP OLR Guidelines .We also will uphold and obey any rules from governing bodies of Races we commit to. Once we can all run competitively under OLR rules we will take drivers into a farming league. A perfect place to start is with Flip's leagues, reasoning behind this is it is a cool laidback setting where there is no name calling nor bad attitudes. There is no reason to subject anyone to bad situations, nor will I stand for any team member putting down another racer be it one of our own or somebody random. There is no need for it and it turns out to waste energy negatively versus positively.

Once a team member is comfortable running in a league where racing incidents will occur we will start the development process. This will be done by helping out tuning cars, helping out with new techniques, and helping out with track knowledge. Trust me I can always use it just as much as the next guy who is faster. In due time once things are starting to pickup a pace, a weekly spec class race will be formed. In this spec class of racing we will be having two divisions running. The two division will be divided by a tuning and non tuning class. Both cars will be put through a Balance of Performance to ensure both division will be at best battling it out for top honors. The first Beta will probably not bring those results, but every evolution of the spec series will draw it closer and closer to that.

In closing the whole reason for this thread is to have an open public space for those interested in a funny group of guys that love cars, love racing, love joking and want to compete with the best endurance racers GTP and GT6 has to offer. Things don't happen right away, but now we have laid our first concrete slab in the foundation for "I'll Owe You Won Racing"

Please feel free to leave a response regardless if you are team member, a non team member, a Club or league own/operator. We are always welcoming a good chat.

- Chassis development. With the team car we need feedback from each of the driver's about the overall feel of the car along with weak points in order to develop individual tunes for each driver.

Clipping from The 24 Heures Du Mans

IOUW RACING

Before the race the other LM GT-S Team Managers agreed to allow a 20BHP break to the BMW, this decision was motivated by the BMW's relatively slow speed through the Speed Trap during Practice Qualifying. This was partly due to the nature of how the car makes it lap time, and partly due to a conservative set up on the cars.

Whilst not particularly in the running for a class victory, the guys were aiming for a smooth, consistent run over the 24 hours. Sadly they didn't get that run, losing 3h 14m to DCs.

On the positive side, all the teams drivers improved their performance throughout the race, and have established themselves as sim endurance racers. Things can only get better for this squad in the future.

It is only the start of Virtual World Domination ;-) or possibly just the Lagopocalypse not sure which will come first. problem is if I don't get sleep that is how tomorrow at work is going to be...
 
Haha, yeah sleep is an inevitable problem no matter what you're doing :lol:
 
I have really appreciated you guys racing in the small championships I've hosted and helping making them a success! Thank you very much for your efforts. I'm looking forward to working with you guys in the future!

PS: PM me about what you want in a banner. I'm not a photoshop expert, but I may be able to help. I stress the 'may' part.

We will always be supporting your series Flip, they are good proving grounds and training.

Links updated along with info.
 
This definitely sounds cool. Once my contract is up with Flippin' Fast Racing at the end of the GSCC season I'll be happy to join the ranks. Don't know about being able to participate in the longer enduros though my time is usually occupied by family stuff and school is starting back soon so my kids will be back in their activities.

There is no "contract" with us. Whether it is just a short enduro league versus the 24 hour races we take part in, we accept all people that want to participate in the team.

The team is all about improving our racecraft along with improving our personal bests. I am not holding you to a contract, I am only holding you to wanting to be faster and better.
 
I was just using racing jargon, there's not really a contract. I really just meant I'm going to stick with being his teammate for the rest of this season and will join up with you guys for whatever comes next that's all.
 
Links to future enduros are updated

Well if that contract is paying good I might need to sign on ;-)
 
A little throwback to the GTTCC days during the preseason. A good read with pics.

Had some great testing and racing tonight. Got a few pics including the #68 "I'll Owe You Won Racing" team that was remarkably faster on just two wheels. Imagine if they could get all their contact patches down on the track, they may be Alien... ;-)

What a night of racing. "I'll Owe You Won Racing" had a strong standing with a 3rd place podium followed by a 4th place finish. A few nicks and bumps occurred during both races tonight. There was even word that we made our own Auto Cross course on the Second Straight down Madrid Avenue with a Lotus Elise.

First race boiled down to tire wear and usage. Ozwheels3 took the Checkered in the BMW "Mo You Sports" 320i Touring Car. Timeee11 Took Second with Honda "Casper The Friendly Integra" Touring Car. Following after the "I'll Owe You Won Racing" Miata took Third wanting 3 to 4 more laps to catch Casper.

The Start of the second race with reverse order grid started off great. The Miatas and BMWs with their Rear wheel drive launch advantage took over the field. "By Turn 2 "I'll Owe You Won Racing" was right behind Jay2DaB329 "Rapper's Delightful" Miata in 2nd Place. WanganGhost over cooked turn 1 cause the first of many incidents in the first lap. A lot of damage to competitors cars occurred, included but not limited to front suspension, engines and egos. A mysterious act of PD placed Elchinox2's "Road Blocking Corner Hugging Red Rocket" Elise in the middle of the second straight totally perpendicular to the wall. PD decided that we had too much top end for the speed limit that Spain has placed on that road and wanted a mini Auto Cross course for shi...zzz and giggles. The second half of the field got crossed up in this and word has it someone might had pissed oneself over it...

Second Race results, Ozwheels3 took Checker again with BMW "Mo You Sports" 320i Touring Car. Timeee11 again was the first loser with Factory back Honda "Casper The Friendly Integra" Touring Car. Ares118785 with Honda "A Cook Tire Orange" Integra Touring Car took second losers place.


We learned that the Integra was the champ of straight line speed.
The Miata holds out on Tire Wear and nimbleness
The BMWs are the arch nemesis of Honda
Oh and hybrids are for Wankers better known as team Honda "I Love Dandelions" CRZ :-) (sorry for the low blow Flip).

Great Racing tonight everyone, hope no one minds my low blows and sarcasm. On to the Pics and stuff.

Guys I want everyone's input on team colors, please do not make a fast or rash decision on this because it will be representing us from here on out.

This decision will not be made overnight nor will it not be finalized without each and everyone's approval.

On another note, We will be looking to Run 2 cars for the GTP London 12 hours along with future endeavours. I am proud to introduce car #69 to our fleet. Although the fleet consists of Car #68 and car #69. It is the first of many steps to put our imprint into the GT6 legacy we will all be apart of.
 
With the second we are adding to the team, we can run in both classes if we choose. I will update after practice tonight the second set of cars for the GTP London 12 Hours. Think about that and let me know if you want to run two classes or not.

    Cox will there be group A and B races if possible, choosing two days. So people can choose which group to register, like I am registering for Sat group?

    If I could stir up the interest here could we run a NA series and then a run off.


  2. This pertains to a Spec Miata Series that is full and about to launch in EU.
    I suggested that we...read YOU.. Run a NA room and then have a run off. Take a look.

I have checked that series out thoroughly actually and was wondering how it was going to go. I really need a photo editor because I have nothing flashy to show for a banner or anything.

I have something that is being put together like this, and it will be posted this week at some point when I get some time. It will however be using the cars from the actual enduro races we are about to go into. Time to get the gears stirring
 
Ok everyone, here is what has been going on. We had another great series come to an end hosted by none other then the infamous @flip55 . It was a valuable series in terms of putting us one step closer to a driver development program. Flip put up base tuning resources for us to use and modify. Unfortunately, I had made a huge mistake with the second tune I posted which shuffled the Spring Rates into the wrong places on the car. This was only fixed at the last race where it was too late to really help anybody.

We are going to be doing a quick 2 week non tuning/tuning event which will have a total of 8 races. We will be using each car in our class for Brands Hatch. All will be sprint races to give us an idea of how fast each car will be untuned. Then we will have a week to fine tune each car and do the same thing again with each car. There is a method to not only let us learn how to run the track, but it will also teach strengths and weaknesses of each car giving us a better view on where to attack and counter attack on the course.
 
you gonna respond to London looks like they are gonna faint or something. Spec Miata and Spec Miata Spec races tonigh till cows get up again.
 
Hey everyone, I apologize for the absence with IUOW Racing. Due to getting married, moving into a new home, getting situated with jobs it has been extremely hectic in my life over the past 4/5 ish months. I was not able to provide endurances with teams I said I would have together. Hopefully it will be forgiven and everyone can move forward.

Big News
IOUW Motorsports will be starting a new Endurance league on Tuesday nights. Toying around with many ideas, this is going to be a 2 class 1 make league. Each new Track will rotate through a predetermined groups of 2 cars. Sometimes each class will be extremely close in times making racing head to head so much better. Other points 1 car will dominate over the other leaving plenty of breathing space for two classes. I will have a link in my sig along within this thread once completed.
