JSTC400 (GT300) Series! Season 1 Races Complete

[twistedfirework]

Thanks for restarting, but carry on guys, it's getting too late. Have a good race.

 

[alefin]

Sorry about the late start guys. We spent too much time trying to figure out how to start. We're going to have to make that more explicit before race time comes around in the future.

On a side note, I accidentally exited the track when I saw the leaders coming up on me after I crashed lol. Oops

[Wardez]

Cool, that fast lap was done when I started using the dark side of the force trying to catch you dude xD

Yeah nice race. Really fun battle between ugabugaz and me for a few laps. I made a few little mistakes in the beginning 'cause honestly, I saw uga catching up like a demon and was pretty dumbfounded at that. I instantly switched off Vettel mode (not willingly) and made a little trip up here, scrubbed speed there, and he caught up. Then we had a pretty intense chase going for a few laps where he got pretty close but was very very cordial and had great racecraft (didn't try and overtake me on the straight with the draft) but then I got passed up by him after I messed up putting a little bit too much throttle coming out of the last hairpin. But I was able to stay right with him after lighting the fire and catching up. Then I should've taken his example and not attempted a pass on the pitstraight because on this one lap I got a really good run on him coming out of the last hairpin and had all the speed to make a pass. He knew this so defended to the left a bit kind of suggesting I shouldn't try a pass but I went for it anyway, but I just mistimed it and ended up taking the pitwall barrier head-on, apply directly to the forehead.

If this was real life, I would've been dead D:

Race was over after that, but I kept on. I pitted on lap 21, lap early, and he pitted like on 25? so I felt like maybe he could make a big mistake on the end of the first stint since he was taking them so far, but he kept it together nicely. On the first part of my second stint I was able to get down to 5 seconds off his bumper but then my tires started getting really ripped up so my bid ended there. Great race though, looking forward to seeing how the next one goes. Congrat's to ugabugaz and every one else that had a clean race. + he had 20kg more weight than me! I really gotta sit down and figure out Madrid some day, it's slapped me into place more times than I care to remember.

I was just going to do that, haha.

I confirm this

 

[phil bell]

Jesus what can I say. Bloody ridiculous.
Sorry for the bump to Bob and SLS was not in the best of moods after the incidents.

Ahaha, I’m going to give that lap a watch, see where you worked your magic. I’d care to say somewhere in the midsection as that’s where I was losing time for most of the race.

I saw you pit and thought it was a bit early. Seeing as how everyone else was pitting I thought I’d give it another lap since the track was clear – I pitted at the end of lap 22. I could have kept going but since that was basically the halfway point there was no reason to keep going. My tires were OK for the most part however the car was starting to have real problems entering corners and gripping in general.

Second stint went a whole lot better in every respect. I was seriously worried that you would catch up with me especially since you got the gap down to 5 seconds. Really not sure how I changed up my pace for the better, I think it’s because of you chasing. It’s like something clicked in me and switched me over to robot mode, ha. We were still trading blows all the way up to 8-9 seconds I think, good on you for keeping up the fight .

Now as far as Madrid is concerned, to me the first chicane is a make or break lap spot. You can easily lose up to a second if you don’t take it properly. The rest of the lap is more or less automatic, nothing major to be learned (Though you were faster than me, so I guess I should take a look eh?). The last corner however is a different story. I remember on almost every lap I would gain time there. The way to take it, at least how I took it, was to go deep into the corner almost to the end of the curbing and then just power out. If you try to cut it in any way, you’ll be slower. Seems counter intuitive, but it’s somehow faster to just brake late, bomb the corner and then gas it out.

Great defensive driving by the way - You know how to make your car seem like it's taking up the entire track 👍

 

[TDZdave]

sorry I didn't make it guys, slept the day away,

 

[ZachAK47]

To say we all thought Madrid would be hard to overtake on, man whatta race. Went from p9 to p3. Admittedly 3 people crashed but still.

And Joe, very very good race with you man, I expected to be in the wall with the dive down the inside on that 90 left after the left kink. You're the first person all week to leave a gap there.

 

[Wardez]

Yeah that was fun playing the gap game for a while. I guess whatever tune I had wasn't as great on tires, but it was most probably due to me over driving the car as well.

I definitely remember you being quicker in that last hairpin, I actually started to get a real hang of it after seeing your line which let me hit those couple sub 21s in the second stint. I needed just a bit more time to get all my marks more properly arranged for optimal lap times. I did a lot of learning during the race itself. I was only able to practice for an hour before doing my qualifying, then just popped into the room to race.

You drove a great offense though, knew to keep steady and safe to put the right amount of pressure on. And your defense was excellent yourself. You knew I was going to try and take you on the front straight with the draft on the lap or two before my collision and you broke just perfectly late along with me going into the chicane and we both just barely held it, that was awesome, another highlight moment for sure.

You can try my tune, It’s posted a few pages back. It wasn’t very kind to tires either haha. I’m going to take a bunch of pictures from the race, so look for them in the next few days(Hours, bored). I also watched mine and your laps. You were faster in both sections 1 and 2 but slower in the last corner. You were still braking early and cutting it on your fast lap . If you want to see what I mean about going deep, watch my fast lap. I do the last corner pretty well there.

Splits
Yours: Lap 27 - 146 MPH Before Chicane - 31.524 | 28.236 | 22.182
Mine: Lap 28 - 146 MPH Before Chicane - 31.617 | 28.337 | 22.059

26 Image Post - Click for 1080P.
Largely a Garaiya Gallery - Only took pictures of the stuff I knew happened. Can't go over entire race unfortunately.

Start of the Race

Wardez with a train behind him - Last Corner

Start of the Fianked Calum Mess

Continuation

Taking the advantage and slinking past Calum and Fianked (On the Inside)

Me and Calum side by side, luckily barrier didn't interfere

Me in front, Calum and Fianked behind - You could probably guess what happened next...

Joe smacking into the last corner barrier

Carving the First Chicane

Wardez smacking the side, and me smacking him in the back

Cornering

Cornering 2 - Love this shot

Attempting to overtake Wardez - This is going into the last corner

Wardez (Left) Me (Right) - He carries more speed, I brake later. I enter an incher sooner

In the Corner - Me in front, Taking the outside line

Wardez regaining position from the inside, I'm on the outside

Out of the corner - Wardez in front

Wardez applying power while on a curb - Bad Idea

= Result

Entry into Chicane - Pretty Close

Even Closer

Exiting Chicane - Still close by

Wardez's brilliant idea unfolds

Probably not a good idea

Definitely not a good idea, Notice the skid-marks

End Result - Lots of wavy tire marks

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Yet another close race interrupted by the pit lane...


However, uga, that looks a little hit-or-miss... Sure, you could've pinned him against the wall, but, making a pignata out of the pit wall-entrance would likely make the FIA ban you. And all for a bit of candy?

 

[Wardez]

More like interrupted by my bumper cam. If I was on roof cam the brilliance would've reached new heights.

I think if that little end-barrier wasn't there, I would've just made it. Don't know what I was thinking xD

 

[TDZdave]

hopefully they fix that issue with an update or something,

 

[phil bell]

They should fix the issue where you bounce off other cars when you hit them. The chicane was like the carpark at cold storage when I arrived.

 

[TDZdave]

its not the hardest track to pull a Bradbury on

 

[ZachAK47]

Consider the fact I'm a poor qualifier.

Very early Motegi lap time 1.53.911

Quali pole will probably be a low 50/ high 49. Room a/b cutoff around the low to mid 52 mark

Or I'm just much faster here compared to everywhere else, but that's doubtful lol

 

[SkengD]

Might join just to get an idea of a lap time

 

[alefin]

So I'm trying to check out some incidents and turns out I do need a North American replay. Replay only saved up to until I exited, should have seen that coming lol.

Any replay that has 14 people including no_bull_racing would be great.

Thanks guys

PS - Nice pics uga

 

[SkengD]

Do i lose all ballast for next race?

No worries I saw the regs about ballast , i lose 10 kg

 

[TDZdave]

I would think that pole would be a high 49 at motegi,

[BOB0011]

Very Frustrating. I was cruising around at the back trying to make sure I did not get too much in the way and the system I presume decided that my pace was not fast enough so it kicked me out around lap 28. I reentered to at least watch the race and it kicked me out again so i shut it down. Technology is great when it works.
