LE MANS 1998 | 300km Suzuka 9/8 | Double points this weekend!!

[Pfeffer702]

Sir, if I'm just concentrating on the road and nothing else, forget it.
I'm going back to my very foundations. I doubt I'll be very competitive for the next 1 to 2 months. I'm not looking to win anymore. This game has far surpassed me. It'll take an entire tour for me to get back up to where I've fallen from.
Hell, I'm just going for finishing races. No mistakes. Then start going for the money.

Consistency is key. But who cares about. Just win. Stop selling yourself short

It used to be that easy for me. I could, "just win." I've hit the wall hard lately. I need to rebuild from what I once had. And if what I heard is true, you will be unapologetically F|_|CKED during the next race.

Nurburgring? Ill be trucked there? Idk that'll be possible since ive been making a tune just for that track, because my normal suspension setup bounced around too much, but now my 1 make setup will help in retaining my undisputed pre-race championship,,

So. Just bring it

No, as in, you won't be seeing the finish line.
Just cut the crap and assure me you aren't considering joining those tools.

Ok, now im confused, are you talking bout joinning a series or team, because im the property of ABG, and series? I joining freshes 2000's series. Now could you explain? Cuz i dont even know. And repsond quickly because i do t feel like refreshing the page for 3 hours

ADR. Tell me your side of the bargain.

Ok, maybe u mis heard, im doing there 4 hour race in a couple of weeks, never ever in the blue apple crack whore pie would i join there team

 

[Pfeffer702]

Hope we get a good turn out for tonight. I informed sickwithit, so he should show

 

[WilliamsRCN92]

Although not the greatest turnout in the world, I think the pre-season race has settled everything I need to start this.
I may also say I might do a JDM street series... spot race style to keep it cool. I've got several cars specced.

I really think the lmp cars could use some ballast. At least 950kg. That would keep the tire wear closer.

I was tesing at la sarthe and all there lap times were very similar, devon wanted to look into 1000kg ballest for lmp but that would be overkill

They are two classes for a reason. I knew directly from the start that the GTPs would have no shot against LMPs in the long run. It's the downforce that causes the worse tire wear, if anything.
CJ and I discussed the idea and we came to the conclusion that the ballast won't make a difference in the tire wear.

So this is why you were up till 2am, ok

Not just.
I looked further into ways to worsen the tire wear of the LMP, weight included. Remember, if I jack the LMP's weight up, the HP would go up too, so, you'd think the tire wear would definitely be effected if you think about it that way.
But I know what you mean though with the weight on the LMPs. Ballast has no place on an LMP. Plus, I really liked it the way I had it during the Nurburgring race.
I'm tied.

Plus why are you trying to equalise them? You did say lmp would win most likely in the long run, so i dont see the big deal,

True, the only time they were pitted against each other were at Le Mans... and the LMPs got smoked... badly.

I wouldnt talk im not a weponds grade unlike you

Ballast definitely affects tire wear. As does higher power. If theyre separate classes thats cool, but they arent equal if thats what youre after. Heavier more powerful cars will use tires faster in GT5. Thats a fact, I dont really care about all the specifics, I think lmp is more attractive. If I run in this lmp would be my choice.

You should run lmp

Ah i wish i can join . But i cant. Such a loss for me.

 

[FreakFromADR]

Hey W1NNER, depending on GTS turnout, I might want to switch over to the F1 GTR or any other available GTP. Unless it is set in stone I need to run with the C5R. Just wanted to try out a higher class.

No more GTS class. I already have you down for the McLaren.

Why not? I wish you could race too!

Did i miss another race last night?

Did i miss another race last night?

No, just a free run practice. You didn't miss much.

 

[Izzyracer97]

Practicing on my own this morning and ran a couple of high 1:34 laps my best being 1:34.824. But those laps were on the edge of spinning out of control in the bus stop.

 

[Pfeffer702]

You doing another race or practice tonight?
