[DaxCobra]

There's one official spot free still right? wonder if we'll be 16 before tomorrow.. wonder how many that will show up.. hoping for all 15 ^^

we have 13, 2 dropped out..

 

[Phouchg]

Ah i didn't realize.. but with paulmac2k9 it's 14 again isn't it?

 

[DaxCobra]

no, 13

 

[Phouchg]

So who of those on the first page isn't with us anymore?

 

[DaxCobra]

Cobalt_12 hasnt logged on since the 9th

 

[Phouchg]

Ah i see *updating excel-file* (not at all obsessive)

 

[DaxCobra]

 

[Phouchg]

Now it's time for some late night practise

 

[Mark II Blit]

I can't cut more of my lap times as it seems right now.
All the power the 'rolla can produce, has been used.

So, technically it's not allowed in the series then!

Don't be mean. I'll start crying

 

[Phouchg]

What's your times? I managed to shave another three tenths now. Down to 1:10.497

 

[Mark II Blit]

Lowest I've been down to is 1:10.4-something, so pretty much the same as yours.

Did you set that time in your Sileighty?

 

[Phouchg]

Yup in the sileighty. Seems we're gonna be close friends on the track then ^^ (although most of my times were more like 1:10.9)

 

[Sumo098]

With times like that you should be able to keep up in the race ok. Remember that in battle you have slipstreaming on your side!

 

[Phouchg]

My problem in the races are more of the spinning out kind. Get stressed when exiting corners seeing the others slip away ^^

(that was part of the reason why i chose 4wd last season..)

 

[paulmac2k9]

i got to 10.0s in the supra but im sure theres a car out there for me that i can get a 1:09 in.......

 

[MadMax]

I choose Mitsubishi 3000GT SR (J) '98 - the car that I'm most consistent with.

I tested all the '98 GTO / 3000GT SL / SR 's and found them to be identical in handling and lap times.



MadMax

 

[DaxCobra]

Anyone else in that "OMG CANT WAIT" mode?

 

[DaxCobra]

Remember, the race is in 6 hours and 45 minutes. So if you are not completely sure of the time zones, look at the post date on this.

So yeah, race at 3PM GMT +1 !!!

Im now off to work.

 

[Phouchg]

You know it TL always in that mode!

Paulie stop driving so fast! I don't want to be last..

 

[The_Boyce]

I can make todays race! Cant believe it! PSN The_Boyce
See you there. :-)

 

[Phouchg]

Woo! more drivers is always good Which car will you be using? (please don't say GTO/3000GT)

 

[DaxCobra]

Yay another member!! Im in my work break by the way so cant reply until 12:30 as im back to work in a sec.

 

[Phouchg]

Working on a Saturday.. sucks to be you only four hours until the race now!

 

[Madbeater]

Not looking good for me as my Internet is down and virgin saying it should be back on by 4, fingers crossed it will be sorted in time but not holding my breath. So if am not on the start line u know why.

 

[Phouchg]

Virgin.. can't do F1, can't do internet..

 

[Mark II Blit]

4 hours left! I'm so excited I could... uhm... pee

And my lap times seems fairly consistent to yours, Phouchg. As soon as my tires start to deteriorate i run 1:10.8 to a tad over 11.
Looking forward to battle it out with you on the glorious tarmac of Tsukuba

 

[paulmac2k9]

im still searching for a car that can get me under the 1:10s..... but if i cant find one ill tell you at 2pm UK time

 

[Manuelos]

I'm doing 01.09.6 in my supra, looking forward to the race

 

[Phouchg]

Really looking forward to that fight Cleartec ^^ let's just hope no one gets punted in the first corner. It sucks to get your race ruined by someone elses fault. Everybody should know that a race is NOT decided in the first corner!!

Paulmac: I don't think you'll find a faster car than the 3000GT.. but if you try a bit harder you should be able to get it under 1:10

 

[Sumo098]

I get consistant 1:09s in the Skyline I drove last season. But I'm not driving that becuase I don't need a fast car to win!
