I'm not going to run a specific car just yet. So you can take me off from under the MRS, Joe. I'm not really comfortable with the MRS's handling and the Subaru doesn't have the acceleration or top speed of the MRS. I may run the Standard RX7 which was one of my original choices from S1. So for now I'll just wait until the season starts and see which car is still left đź‘Ť
 
Joe or Zach, is the team championship counting the best 2 results from each race or is it different? I can't find information about it.
 
We got the footage already Joe. I gave Will a hand earlier.

Where are the other's? We need more to qualify. :)

Thank you Bazzer for updating the times. :)

Team championship counts the best 2 results from that team.

Continued.

It counts the best 2 finishers out of a 3 man team, for each race.

The last person on your team will neither help nor hurt your teams points standings. Only the top 2 finishers for each team. This will make it more fair for the guys who have a slower guy, or someone that just can't make races all the time, DNF's, and so on.

I was thinking more along the lines of teams with only 2 in it. It's harsh on 1 man teams as they can't join in.
 
The only 1 man team is Seth right now, everyone else has 2 or 3 drivers eligible to score in the team championship

How is that harsh on a 1 man team? One guy doesn't make a team. And its only for team championship anyway. The real bread and butter is the drivers championship, Something I have yet to practice for.
 
Harsh probably wasn't the correct word, maybe more of a shame for the single driver teams as they won't enjoy the fun of a team battle throughout the season.
 
I've decided to use the Standard RX7, so I guess there isn't anymore 'one man teams'!

Nice choice seth and finally lol. You know I'm messing with you bud. :)

Where are the rest of our fellow drivers? Only 8 qualified so far? I want to see more times. :)
I hope we have a decent turn out. :)

I ran another little qualifying race when you left and did a 1:39.7 like I did in practice. Still not perfect but Tokyo isn't my track. I donno if I'd duplicate that time again but maybe. I don't know if I'll even make the race this weekend.
 
I'm going to see if I can find a time slot to qualify before tomorrow's race, but if not I will gladly just start from the back of the pack. This is going to be my 2nd wheel race, and I rather focus on not getting me or anyone else into trouble. I'll monopolize on the drivers who make mistakes and fall to the back of the pack. đź‘Ť
 
Only just over 9 hours to go to qualify for tonight. We currently only have 7 times on the board.

Hopefully not a trend for the season , I might come to watch the race later . If there is space .

Bazzer ill work on the car tomorrow at Fuji and email you setup .
 
I'm hoping we have a late flurry of qualifiers before the race and get at least 10 plus people racing.

Ok Skeng, cheers. Hopefully catch you later on.
 
im sure road runner will be glad to know the hour and a half of filming we did last night equates to 10 -15 seconds of footage

Awesome lol. It was all for a good cause. JSTC that is. đź‘Ť
The wife was watching us yesterday and couldn't figure out why we were driving so goofy. :crazy:
She said we weren't racing very well. lol
 
Lol that's funny, at least she's in on the fun instead of opposed to the fun! đź‘Ť

I'm getting ready to run this Gate race at 1pm pst and then so afterwards ill post my lounge's room number so we can offically get season 2 started. I was so slow driving the gate trimmed Cusco that I didn't even qualify. They're running 28's and 29's at Mazda and I can only manage a 31's on a super lap. Most of my laps were 32's, but I was more on pace with my Jstc Cusco so I'm feeling good about this evenings race. Can wait to see you guys on track again.

I'm going to open a room for season 2 pre season rd 1 in 15 mins fellas'

4 in the room now, and I saw Cam just power up.
Now were up to 6 drivers, that good enough for a good time for me!
 
My apologies to anyone I hit in those first 2 laps, I was so annoyed with myself because I couldn't figure out what was going on. I'm at my gf's house with no wheel and a smaller TV. For some reason I was hitting every wall possible and couldn't get any clean laps. And then someone tried a move on me that wasn't on and spun me, after that I'd had enough. I will now not be racing any races when I'm not at my house with my wheel set up.

Zach I don't know what happened in turn 1 when I rammed you but I was taking a normal line on the inside of a few of you guys and you were nearly at a standstill, sorry.

Could a UK guy save the replay so I can see what happened.

It's cool man, to be expected now we doing full pace lap
 
Man I need this practice run, I'm plugging the plug on all other series (which means do an arrive and drive) and focusing my attn to this series. Imo this is the funnest one so far, and make me feel like I'm really preparing for an a real race. And now with the wheel settings, chassis settings, and now tire options & pit strategy this is going to take full preparation to have front runner pace. The only thing I noticed that we have to add is a wrong tire choice penalty for not selecting both compounds at least once the entire race. I say it should be a 30sec drive thru penalty for this epic mistake. Maybe even more because a tire stint can easily be 15 laps and if a driver is clocking 2 secs faster then he wouldn't experience a penalty for screwing up, so maybe 45 secs is better.

All & all this series is the 🤬!!!

Sorry I was the one that got into you there I saw you wiggle out and so I went to the inside so I wouldn't rear end you and before I even had a chance to lift to give you the line you came back down. Sorry again man.

I won't be able to make laguna its my girls birthday something tells me it would not go over well if I raced haha.
