100k is not an endurance Chqr, it's a sprint

happy with a 6th place finish after being last after 2 laps and being over 1:30 behind

Do you guys have any idea how weird it is to be having your name called a million times, but there be 2 Joe's. I took me a couple of laps to realize you guys we're talking about another Joe, funny. Last lap pit stradegy worked for a top 5 finish, so I'll take that any day. Great race fellas see you guys for the next enduro!

 

[chrisjohnson93]

the funny thing was both joe's were in nissans

Balls, typo.

 

[chrisjohnson93]

200k is it meant to be or 250k?

also furi actually made the correct call on pitting with 2 to go for inters even though he didn't gain a position due to it

 

[ugabugaz]

Was a fun race even if I was wrecked twice. I want more..and preferably in the rain

Yep timed to perfection The mediums would not last two more laps.

I'm going to launch this in January when we all have a bit more free time.

Now seems a tad too congested with three major Super GT series going on and three Nascar series going on too.

I'm pencilling in 4 races and I think everyone will like these races.

 

[Furinkazen]

How an HSV should sound, especially out of car.

 

[chrisjohnson93]

before the race i hadn't driven the car and it was the only nissan GT500 i had so i decided to use it instead of buying a new car, and looking forward to the mini series in january/february 2013

Good to see that GTP is back online!! 👍

Has been really a great race!! Fantastic pace and adrenaline!! My little Lexus made it after all my doubts! Great start in sunset and battle in 3 for many laps. Was very difficult to keep concentration when you're in the middle at 300Km/h at LaSarthe during night time Then me and Joe (one of them.... the one on fire not on truck ) fought for all second stint he was catching me by lap 14 so I decided to make my second pit with 2% rain... I thought that he was going to stop after a lap or maximum two to see if the rain will increase. But surprisingly he has not stopped since then so I putted down laps on laps to be able to catch him even if the rain was increasing and even though I was listening to the "broadcast of the race" in the headphones.... Last lap was like a swimming pool starting with 31% rain ending with 40% on medium racing tyres!!! I catched him on the straight but then I made a mistake at the Mulsanne corner... Catched him again at Indianapolis we had some bumps due to slipping and not so much space in that area. I got damage too for that but my Lexus kept the grip to complete the lap. Sorry for Joe that after a fantastic stint of 13 laps ended with no fuel.

Congratulations for everyone who made it up until the end!

Me the other Joe could of been up there with you guys if I hadn't had to pit on lap 1 for damage. I am proud of my 5th tho since I started from pit lane pretty much. Awesome race you'll definitly see me again for anymore enduro races in the future. Plz put me on the invite list fellas!

How about we do another 1 next tuesday? 35 laps of Spa or Motegi anyone?

I hadn't noticed the rain pick up as much as it did, and would have pitted at the start of the final lap if I had seen it (I'd have made sure I was on inters before the track reached 30%+ surface water). Shame I ran out of fuel, in my pitstop I took 6 or 7 litres more than recommended and thought it would be enough. I did think about putting in 10 more than recommended, but thought against it. I would've made it to the end if I'd put the 10 in.

My worst section of the track was the Ford Chicanes, as I always seemed to lose time through them. I'm also not sure why I lost 5 seconds to gprili in the pits, having entered right behind him (even gave him a little tap when the autodrive took control) and not being held up by him at all.

Suzuka should be good, especially since I recently ran a 200Km race there with the exact same car and regulations.

Was a very nice race till Inianapolis -_-
I was breaking way to late don´t know why => destroyed Furi´s race for Podium and mine.
Lexus untweaked is hard to drive for me due to massive amount of Undrsteer, although she is still fast (but others stock are faster for me but I stay with her in the next rounds).

I got my penalty from GT5 at lap 18 = DC

Well I would like Motegi as the next Track

Your not a dirty driver Sak so I knew it was an accident, I thought you must have just understeered under braking. Was a surprise though to have suddenly got by Joe bravely into Indianapolis and then ~BANG~

 

[TDZdave]

wow, a sarcastic remark turned some interest, well yes it was sarcastic to ask for a race next week, but I love it, even though I threw it away on the warm up lap myself,

so chqr, we doing this again next week???? Motegi seems to have the vote

Someone else feel free to organise it. Unfortunately, I can't make many weekday events now I'm back at boarding school.

I'll publish a thread later on the January Series though to those who may be interested.

 

[TDZdave]

well if we could do it the same as this week, "with Furi running the room" I'm down to getting things organised, but if you keep the same race time, and change the name of the thread to Motegi Interest check, and make it that no 2 cars of the same, I can PM you the changes that need to be made on the OP and make it that there can't be 2 cars the same, as there is 19 cars to pick from I believe, then you wont have to do stuff all,

 

[Furinkazen]

I can't run much midweek until january.
