nice....yeah i want this thing to kick off!! I havent done any work on the qualifier since my first attempt. i havent even attempted this weeks gtp race yet, was gonna go give it a shot in a little bit. sounds like some people are turning out some pretty quick times already
 
haha, yeah unfortunately i dont think that'd be a good choice against some of these more powerful cars. The 350Z may actually be able to hold its own pretty well tho, or perhaps the 22B Impreza would fair pretty well if you can tune 4wd cars well
 
the 22b is a deadly advesary and so the 350z. . I am not sure yet, Gokents and I are having a discussion over what car we are going to use. . . There are many tests that need to go into this. . we should have an answer realatively soon.
 
I knkow the car probably isnt worth my interest, but is the nsx type R allowed in this?

Also, are other japanese production prize cars allowed?such as the b22 mentioned earlier.

Miata and I will have a pick soon as the field is being narrowed down quickly...

Also, can two teams use the same car... as much as I want to avoid it, it just might be the smartest thing to do.
 
Hey cobra... I was wondering...

How are the points going to be awarded?

You see, I ask because of the lack of team mates for the bebop racing team.

If each member of the team takes points in the overall and then those are all added up and put towards the teams points... well, that could be bad for a team with only two members.

And if the comp is held up in order for us to get 2 more team mates, then it would be a long time before miata and I can put this mean machine we have choosen, into use.

Thanks for the read and answers...
 
i was kinda wondering that myself, I dont know how you could work it out, but take the total number points you can earn for a race, and somehow divide it b/w the number of members on a team. like a team w/ 2 members can earn more points individually and a team w/ 4 can earn less, but it would all equal out in the end...haha, i dont even know how to explain it. gokents does make a good point tho
 
Well one way would to have a scoreboard of players and a scoreboard for teams. Or you could get the average points of a team. So if Gokents got 10 and miata for 8 average would be 9.
 
ok, this thread is gonna die from here out... just about...

Because the rest of my posting on this subject will hopfully be in the cobra forums... if you care what I have to say... look there.

Im on my way to post now.
 
alright cobra...

I am running into major problems with this series.

first off...

The car selection...

There is no balance at all.

This should have been called the rx7 challenge, not the jgtc champ.

Think about it...
A little lay out for you...
power to wieght ratios

RX-7 rz 1.7
Z concept 1.9
S2000 1.9
Nsx type R 2.0
Supra 2.1

I didnt even bother with the skylines heavy ass...

The only way to keep up with the rx7 is to acutally use the rx7.

Infact, most of the cars that can keep the wieght near the 1070 mark of the rx7, cant even get near the 600 hp mark...

Now... if we were using a 500 hp limit... this would be an even match...

Then the silvia, the mr2 and a multitude of others would all be able to race in a competitive way.

This this over because this is just one of my troubles.

The second trouble Im reaching is with the cobra forums itself.

Everytime I come to it I am logged out, no matter what I do with the "log me in at each visit" option or the cookies of my computer...

Then the problem with lycos... hoy...

they redirect me to a lycos page not even near the cobra forums no matter what I do...

If I go to reply, they redirect me to a lycos page.

If I go to log in, lycos.

I am really, really sorry to bring up all this trouble, but I just have to because,

I REALLY want to contribute to your site and I really want to contribute to the racing series.

Any help you can give me would be more than appreciated.

And any time you will give towards thinking over the "level playing field" of racing would also be GREATLY appreciated.

Thank you and please know that I mean well and do not mean any harm or insult.

Thanks.
 
why do you think i picked the RX7 :D i didnt even have to think about it, i already knew from previous testing of my own before this series was started up that the rx7 is the best of the lot...but youre right, the playing field does need to be leveled somehow if multiple cars are gonna compete against each other...not quite sure how tho. As far as the cobra forums thing, use this address instead http://members.lycos.co.uk/cobraforums/phpBB/index.php

it'll keep you logged in if you use that one.

Well...

500 hp limit would be a good start.

But changing the rules all the time is goona be rough.

Also, thanks for the link, we will see how that works out.

Thanks again.
 
Really, awesome...

Thanks cobra... that is gonna make this a whole lot more intresting...

Now its just a matter of letting everyone know.

Luckily we havent begun the racing besides a qualifier.

So thanks again cobra, this makes it so I can use a car that I will really love.

I mean, I cant thank you enough...

Thanks again,
-kent
 
we're actually not sure what car we are using, it is a toss up between the RX7 RZ and the NSX type R zer0h
 
I had a feeling you might be leaning towards the nsx. and i gotta say, w/ this new 500hp limit, this makes the nsx a VERY good contender to compete w/ the rx7. The 350Z still stands as a pretty good threat as well, and again w/ the 500hp limit it opens up the door for another prime candidate that i think could be a threat to all if put in the right hands, my car's new brother, the RX8. I think those are pretty much your top picks.
 
I think my team will be using the nsx type r as it was what we just about selected for the competition before the new hp limit...

Now miata and I are just gonna check a few other cars out, but I can say confidently that my choice is the nsx type r... as it had been before the changes.

However, if you guys also want to use it, then fine, but just know that I will be watching you...

I mean, the nsx has been my choice the whole time and is one of the major, if not the reason for my plea for a new hp limit.

Thanks again for the new limit cobra.

Also, I think the mr2 gts is a contender in this now also... its got a lower wieght than the nsx and the rx7 and power to keep up.

Another car I am glad to see in contention is the rx8... good call on that one idafc... it tops at something like 488 hp, but will surely be a formidable foe.

I will be back shortly, but let it be known...

Unless another car pops up on the radar, the bebop racing choice is the...

Honda NSX type R

Oh yeah... team rotory is a funny name for people not using a rotary powered car.:lol: j/k
 
Oh yeah... team rotory is a funny name for people not using a rotary powered car. j/k

:odd: since when is an RX7 not a rotary? haha, news to me!!

As far as the mr2 gts, it might be a good contender, but you'd really have to work at it, its hard to keep the tires planted to the road due its MR configuration and light weight
 
No, Im not saying the rx7 isnt a rotory... I was under the impression that other members of the rotary team were rethinking their car choice.

They arent...

Sorry about the confusion, my bad.

But yeah, you called it earlier... I will most likely choose the nsx.

Although miata has me checking out a lancer and some others.

So we will see, but for now, Im just gonna leave it at what I have already said.
 
That Lancer Kent is pretty wicked. . . Let alone there are cars that are gonna burn it on the turns. . . But if you know how to drive

that car, you won't get burnt on those turns by a FR or MR car. A little different driving style is what you need with that Lancer. . .

I am still content with the NSX, but also, that MR2 is standing out. . . who knows, it is just possible that we are running everyone in circles

here just to confuse them :D
 
haha, well whatever just pick a frickin car so we can race! hehe. If more people were actually participating in this i'd almost be willing to take on the task of breaking the japanese cars up into different classes so each class has a competitive chance against each other, but its not worth it w/ the low turn-out weve got right now...


oh by the by....did anyone else actually do that warmup race that cobra set up in his forums that was due today? or was i the only one that submitted a time...haha. If i was, i'd just like to take this moment to proclaim myself number one! hehe :D
 
hey guys. ive gotten mycar ready its a R34 skyline v-

spec I not II... it should be able to compare with u guys.

so :mischievous: is on the way !!
