LCC Rocket Spot Race Series (stock) - March 23rd, 10pm GMTOpen

[MC-Chase]

I don't think it was anything on your end, must have just been some kind of glitch. I've never had it happen nor heard of it happening, very strange.

I'll do some track testing before offering a suggestion, make sure the Rocket has enough gear. 👍

I also think before we organise a race again we make sure we can connect to each others rooms

 

[BrandonW77]

I agree. I'll be around and racing most of the weekend, we'll try to hook up and maybe test for the next race or practice in that funky Plymouth. 👍

Absolutely not, you weren't the only one who couldn't join Jobyone couldn't either. You shouldn't feel bad, I feel quite bad for not being able to get you two in the room! I'm really sorry, I've never had anyone not able to join the room before and I have no idea what went on but I'll certainly be looking into it as soon as possible, I might try and get a friend to host and see if that makes any difference at all.

The race was a good laugh though, 0.009 gap between me and Penso for the victory, well deserved by Penso, he drove a spectacular race and had to deal with some traffic. 👍

Anyone have suggestions for the next track feel free to drop a suggestion. As I said I'll be looking into the room issue now.

Sorry if i held you and Penso up but when you guys were up my tail there were no names above your cars..... i assumed it was 6th and 7th behind me. Really wasnt reckoning on getting lapped lol

Haha, no harm done.

Going to give the replay a browse in a little bit, I want to see who was racing who. Any particular battles you think i should take a look at?

Too far away from the action though you might have a laugh with me battling my tyres after 27 laps with no pit stop. 3rd lap pit , what was i thinking !!!!!

 

[o9lifted]

Me and number 4th on the last run we were pretty close then, and my hands was sweating I got a bit stressed But most of the time I raced alone and I bumped into several cars in the beginning :/ But I guess no harm done. Great race! Congrats to Penso and you for the close tough race

 

[Johnnypenso]

Good racing fellas. Did anyone else think the second set of tires wasn't quite the same as the first? I never did match my lap times with the second set and they really seemed to go off after about 7 laps and just didn't ever feel right.

 

[Turbotwin01]

Sorry I couldn't make it guys, I'm getting a different Internet plan and stuff so i didn't really want to mess with online too much. I also didn't want to update until my new internet starts (which is free for the first 2 months )

I just thought you weren't quite so hot in the rain =P ! I did wonder how your lead diminshed like that. Tires felt the same to me, it was the rain that killed the understeer I think. Mark and Omega had some great battles on the replay, as did Rob and Revo, Rob cracked under the pressure in the end but good stuff on all accounts!

I rarely raced in the rain in GT5 and never competitively, just in TT's and maybe a Seasonal or something. Last week in the Abarth I didn't notice any effect from the rain until the water level on track hit 35%, I just assumed it would be the same in the Rocket. I know other people have mentioned that cars felt different on the second set of tires but if nobody else felt it, it must have just been in my head

Maybe you dropped on a set of Comfort Soft by mistake? Who knows, it was a deserved victory regardless, so well done 👍

You definitely made me wake up, I'd been lapping quietly on my own for a while when you appeared in my mirrors I also had a good early scrap with OmegaED until I blew it by out-braking myself at Surtees. Could never quite close the gap after that, which was a pity because that had the makings of a race-long battle.

I always found Omega to be impossible to pressure into a mistake, looked good on the replay though! I should get some pictures up here =/.

Remember track suggestions for the next race guys!

 

[o9lifted]

Laguna Seca anyone?

 

[MC-Chase]

Laguna Seca anyone?

I'm good to go with that, any other suggestions people?

 

[BrandonW77]

Laguna would be good, I think Monaco or one of the shorter Silverstones could be good too.

Cool, I'll update the OP tomorrow (I'm tired). We'll do Laguna Seca next up and Monaco after that, Monaco seems kind of fitting, doesn't it?

 

[BrandonW77]

I thought so. Should make for some brilliant photos. 👍

 

[BrandonW77]

I did a 1:33.5 around Laguna, had a 1:33 flat going a couple times but couldn't string it together. So I suspect the front of the field will be 1:32's or 1:31's. Rocket is fun around this track. 👍

 

[MarkB75]

I'll be away for Laguna, but back in the New Year. Monaco should be great!

 

[o9lifted]

Im not too sure if I will make it before the new year, but count me in as for now!

 

[MC-Chase]

Hey guys, sorry I've been busy. I'll get the next event sorted for the new year, perhaps Wednesday the 4th, Friday the 6th or Sunday the 8th - times/days that would be best for people would be nice to know in advance so we can get the biggest field together.

 

[BrandonW77]

Fridays and Sundays work for me, I'm not available on Wednesdays (but don't let that prevent you from doing Wednesdays if it works for everyone else).

I'd like to be able to set the date and time to be viable for as many people as possible, which means Friday is likely going to be the date, as Omega can't do weekends and you can't do Wednesdays. I'm flexible, so I'm not really bothered when the date is personally.

More than welcome to join us, I don't like massive rules so aslong as you try your best to be clean then you'll fit right in here, everyone's very fair. Read a couple of posts above for the planned next session dates/times; is Friday workable for you?
