Mazda Cosmo Sport '68 Twin Ring Motegi Tour *CONGRATS to LITCHI!*

I could probably do either Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm out of the country after that.
 
VBR
I love this car, fell in love with it the first time I saw it, & it handles great too. I'm so up for this, especially as it's on a real world track & not on Toscana. :P

I'll be available for Wednesday the 20th, sign me up. :D By the way, I prefer the '68.

Perhaps we'll have a bonus race on a Toscana Tarmac just to cause VBR to be aghast, and Audiman2011 to rejoice. :lol: :sly:

Thy evil wench! ;)

It's gotta be the '68 car, as it has a cute smile. The 67 car doesn't have that wide open mouth grin. :D

Is it really a 17hp difference?

snowgt: do you have these logged in your database for difference?

The '67 is the one in the OCD.
The '68s are the ones I was proposing.

Yes, 17hp difference. In lap times, that means about 1 second on a 4km track and 10 seconds on the Ring.

The big difference on the Ring comes also from the fact that the '67 runs into the limiter at 208km/h whereas the '68 can reach speeds of 235+. That won't come into play as much on the Motegi tracks though.
 
Thanks:tup:

I'm more leaning toward the '68 now just because of the smile. :lol: :)

Sounds like the performance difference is not much.
 
Loss of 17bhp is the end of the world!!! More power!! :lol:

I can make Wednesday and Friday 100% (Am off on Wednesday and can have a late night on Friday 👍)
 
Okay so the schedule is set for Wednesday, since that seems to be agreeable for all interested so far. 👍

And we'll go with the '68 since so many seem to have their hearts set on it. :lol:


Also: Now that's settled, somebody give me some lap times to compare to my own, so I can set the laps to keep in the schedule. 👍

And you can of course now visit GTAuto for your paint work. ;)

And... On the VCRC / MCRC thread...
I made a list of cars & tracks we've used for events in the past:

And there's a list of links to past events if you haven't noticed that before:

Now that John Wells has discovered the GTAuto paint shop :sly: ... who is going to leave their Cosmo factory Swan White?? :)

EDIT: Scratch that... heard from John Wells that he's going with factory Swan White. :D 👍 👍

Mine is Starmist Crimson and I have some laptimes:

Motegi West Course 49.6
Motegi High Speed Ring 48.1
Motegi East Course 1.52.2

Theese times is my best after 10 laps or so on each.

And I took the pedals apart, cleaned them up from hair and dust and now it seems to work alright again. I tried to bend the spring a little but I think the spring was stronger than I. :ouch:

I experienced exactly the same thing ^^ The guy who made that vid must be some kind of super human. :P

Perhaps the video guy's pedal was older, and there was "metal fatigue"? ;)
(I'm being silly as I'm not even sure what that means, it just sounded good. LOL)
 
If only I could go to this. I have the perfect color:

Technology-Mazda_066__jpg72.jpg


which is pretty well approximated by Samba Green Pearl.
 
Hi. I'll be there if someone offer me the car, i don't have this one :nervous:

Litchi / GTP_Litchi / Black & Gold
 
My colour will be: Honey Yellow (Mazda paint chip), & stock wheels.

I've been testing this car tonight, & must say it's an absolutely awesome car to drive on these tracks. Great combo, love it, looking forward to Wednesday! :D


👍
 
Welcome Litchi
I will be checking accts later tonight to see where I have spare cars.
I'll let you know then. (If not, I believe jackargent has spares as well, so no problem.)

VBR
Honey Yellow is def a nice Mazda colour. I've painted several cars that colour. :)

And yeah, totally this car is positively perfect at Motegi. 👍:)👍
Been wanting to race the Cosmo for a long time now. And after racing on Motegi recently in SNAIL PCR, and in Lo PP Shuffle... I really got a hankering to have an event with the Motegi tracks - which I have loved since GT4 & was so happy when they were finally released for GT5. And so I started thinking of cars. I thought of the Cosmo, because of how nice it is for FR cars. And when I tested it, I was blown away at what a joy the Cosmo is on the Motegi tracks, that I had to immediately set something up. :)
 
Now: I'll be in the VCRC lounge for awhile now testing/practice for cubes or cosmo. (Depending on who shows up & what they want to do.)

@ Litchi - cosmo sent 👍
