Kermit's Multi Class Endurance Series - Finished

[MaxAttack]

I hate to do this everybody, but I'm going to have to withdraw from the series. Having some off track difficulties. Mostly just lost the enjoyment for the game. I haven't raced in almost 2 weeks.

Real life always comes first man, shame to lose you but that's how she goes, hope to see you back soon.

Have a good one, bud.

It's a shame to lose you but it's a video game, if it's not fun it's not worth playing. Hopefully we'll race again some day

 

[Kermit_2142]

@NoStopN - no problem. Good luck and your always welcome to come back.

Ok so another newbie question, for Saturday's race at Kyoto + Magiwa how do I know if I am driving at GR.1 or GR.3 car for the race?

You can choose whichever you’d prefer. The idea being you can experience being in the faster or slower class as you wish. Or choose whichever class you feel more comfortable with etc. I just ask that everyone let’s me know before hand so I know who’s attending etc.
Also after the Nurb night race if you want to switch out the Lambo let me know 👍.

I am sticking with the Lambo for GR.3 and GR.4. I just have to practice more staying off the curbing and grass. Looking forward to Saturday's Race.

I'm not sure about the Huracan, but in the gr.3 NSX I find some forward brake balance helps to stop the twitchy behaviour under braking, which can make the kerbs less dangerous.

The Lambo is, I believe, kind of notoriously dangerous on kerbs though. I found the Honda very hard to drive when I first started, but practice can tame anything, so good luck out there.

 

[Kermit_2142]

@Timm Sheehan have you decided a class for saturdays race yet? No rush if you haven’t.

@GOTMAXPOWER & @GT5Apex as your both a man down I think it only makes sense to pair you both up for the Team Championship, as long as your both ok with that?

Yeah I'm ok with that.

Using forward break bias does help in the Huracan because i done that for the daily race around dragon tail gardens the other week and it did help quite a bit, and the huracan was a joy to drive.

You can attack low/flat kerbs in the Huracan, its the high/raised kerbs that make it become twitchy.

 

[Kermit_2142]

Yh I like the Huracan too tbh. It’s fun to drive.

I'm cool with that, @GT5Apex, tell me who you want taking out and I'll get to work...

Yes I am sticking with the GR.3 Huracan. I have been practicing this and the Nissan Autec GR.2 (Nation's Cup race) and I am getting the hang or it. I revise Sunday's comment to "tolerating the Huracan". By Saturday I might even like it.

Can I use the same clas all season long or do i have to change from class to class?
Is it mandatory to drive all gr1.3.4 or just 3 and 4 like me?

Welcome along.
You need to choose either class for that race. The choice for the next race (round 3) is Gr1 or Gr3, then for the round 4 is Gr3 or Gr4.
You can stay in Gr3 for every race if you wish, there is no mandatory requirement to race in all classes.

##### Important Update #####​

Schedule change, due to a slight clash with the newly starting Supra Cup I've decided to bring Round 4 forward 1 week and then carry on bi-weekly from there. As most of the regulars here are entered in there as well I thought it made sense to stagger the events. Hopefully this doesn't affect anyone too much, Apologies if it does.

Spoiler: New Schedule

June 20th - Race 3 : Kyoto + Magiwa - Gr1/Gr3 - Fuel x2 / Tyres x2

June 27th - Race 4 : Nurburgring 24Hr - Gr3/Gr4 - Fuel x3 / Tyres x3 - Light Damage only for this race
July 11th - Race 5 : Dragon Trail Gardens - Gr1/Gr3 - TBC
July 25th - Race 6: Autopolis - Gr3/Gr4 - Fuel x3 / Tyres x3
August 8th - Race 7: Spa - Gr1/Gr3 - Fuel x2 / Tyres x3
August 22nd - Race 8: Suzuka - Gr3/Gr4 - Fuel x2 / Tyres x3
​

For those not signed up, I believe there are a few reserve spaces available in the Supra Cup held by @El_Beardo. and if Time trial takes your fancy check out his Time Attack.

Racing is still going as planned on Saturday for Round 3 at Kyoto+Magiwa with Gr1 & Gr3. The Race Entry Form is open on page 1, don't forget to show your attendance noting your chosen car.

I hadn't even checked the Beardo series, I assumed the races would be Friday again. The Nurburgring race should be good, the one we did last week was great, adding an extra 30 minutes and Gr4 will make it even better. Hopefully we get a full grid.

 

[Kermit_2142]

Yh Supra Cup is the opposite Sunday to us at 23:00. We’ve been trying to work it with each other not to conflict too bad. 👍.
I think @El_Beardo has work commits on Friday/sat eves now/soon.

Thanks for the update.
I'll make the dates that I can. I'm 50/50 for this weekend - if I race, it will be GR3.

Should be a good battle between us again if you do make it 👍, that Lexus of yours has got some pace!!

I was testing out the GR3 RCZ at the weekend. I thought it was a good one. Gives you confidence to push.

Could be my new MR car of choice. It was the Renault, but thats more twitchy coming out of corners in 1st or 2nd.

It really does encourage you to throw it in faster than you would normally want too. Not sure if it would be competitive in fia or daily races but for a long distance race I really like it 👍.

Less work, more Mrs Beardo stuff

She doesn't normally mind, it's just the next few months are gonna be a bit tricky for her.

It should be decent in FIA/Race C. Tyre wear is pretty good, it handles well, abd doesn't bite like other MRs

Tbf it’s a lot better since the update, it used to be slow as slow but it’s not too bad now.

Heya, unfortunately, I can't participate in Saturday's race since I will be busy studying for my exam week
