Got off work early I'll be there. Start me last please. I haven't practiced much.

 

[Cooper2k]

Would be great seeing you again! @Hasse R has claimed the mazda tho, you don't like the hyundai?

I like the Hyundai but tbh its slow

 

[Cooper2k]

Sorry I couldn't make it out I had other plans for today that I didn't know about

Great fun tonight. And had some class action with mr white Great respect to each other once again. I really enjoyed that layout and never once expected to come 3rd had more in mind 10th seen as i done zero practice laps in the car.

Just 2 things:
1.
thanks to everyone that got a blue flag moved for the lapping cars but to some who didn't next time have more respect for the leading cars please and leave the racing line and lift and coast.
2.
Finish time delay worth increasing for the next rounds.

Thanks again whiteflight1.
And well done to Joe
And zephr on 1st n 2nd

What a great race.

I did much better than I thought was even possible in Gr.3. Started last and finished 8th with no accidents or spins. I ran a very consistent race and I also was the only one not to receive a penalty.
That's just very surprising to me is all because this was only my 3rd race with Gr.3. I knew there was a reason I chose FT-1 in the beginning and it proved to be a much better car for me than the McLaren.

If I seen the blue flag and you were close I tried to move out of the way but I only had 1st & 2nd pass me near the end of the race.

Congratulations to the winner great job.
And Great job hosting @WhiteFlight1

 

[ilyassez]

Enjoyed the race thank you @WhiteFlight1

 

[DC2_Evan]

Thanks for the race guys. Unfortunately I spun and killed myself more than I would like to admit. Fuji is not a track for me, and I kept getting slower and slower in the 911. If anyone with a FR, preferably naturally aspirated car that wants to trade just let me know. I can't drive it anymore as it does not suit my driving style now days

 

[WhiteFlight1]

Congrats to @DrifterJoe on another stellar drive!

I had an okay race I guess, until the very last part where I had to try mediums for the last stint, because I had to try something to pass Stig who was always a couple of seconds ahead, didn't work out though.

@fastnloud30 Yeah, I simply forgot to check the time delay before the race. Stupid mistake lol.

I really enjoyed the battling, few times I did just let you by as noticed the viper catching when we were playing with catch the apex .
I think it was your 3rd pit stop I decided to stay out as seen a lot of lapping traffic in front. At first I did say I should of pitted there. But at the same time if I can maintain the tyres and brake a pit window from them to save passing them again. Mirrors and time gap to 4th were my best friend then trying to work out if you's had past them soon as yous did I pitted

 

[WhiteFlight1]

@fastnloud30 So you had a three stopper with only softs right? i guess most of you guys did. It's kind of annoying that a pitstop only makes you lose 10 seconds, even the 2 second tire changes in F1 will often make you lose 20. So the harder tire seldom is very efficient

 

[Standard_FV]

Fun racing yesterday even though the Renault might be the slowest Gr.3 car, nice having 13 people starting and finishing. I don't want to complain and sound like I'm displeased with the series but maybe you should remove those who haven't raced a single race so that new racers may enter. This also unlocks cars for people that might want to join but are discouraged because they think there isn't room to enter. @WhiteFlight1 as I said I hate to complain, especially when you basically organize and work for free to make these races happen, but I think that removing people who haven't participated in single race might help to get those who race regularly or want to a good chance to be able to participate.

 

[WhiteFlight1]

@Standard_FV Trust me I have thought a lot about it there are a few at least that have not taken part in the last two and even none. More cars (or all of them) will be available again for January, but I am unsure what way to actually do it yet.

I know this works well for me in the Gr.4 endurance race so I tried it here. I started the race with RM on the front and RS on the rear. The beginning of the race is the only time you can be on two different compounds at once. With BB set to 1 on the rear both sets of tires wear evenly throughout the entire run and allows me to go a long time without pitting. Now you do give up a little front grip but the softs in the rear seem to help make it up. I didn't change tires until lap 20 out of 45 and did 3 stops in all but I could have only done 2.

Now I do see benefits from doing this but nothing like someone faster would. So there you go I'm giving away my secrets.

Hey everyone! I have chosen go for a new car selection method for 2019. For the moment, every car is available and I will allow up to 4 cars of the same type. This way (almost) everyone will be able to race in a competitve car) One car change per season is allowed (in addition to the one you do prior to your first race)

@Rinsky @fastone371 @WolfpackS2k @Venster @Clean Racer @im2fst4u @Infineon @DC2_Evan @HoonigaN96 @Hasse R @YayoiGT2 @DesertPenguin @bloodyboyblue @Standard_FV @T5Black @Cooper2k @Mika8102K @Sniparator @fastnloud30 @DrifterJoe @Boudhe @docbrown40 @ilyassez Please change your car now if you want to!

 

[EATHinNZ]

Keen to enter. PSN: EATHinNZ
CAR: Lexus RC F

 

[Standard_FV]

Would like to swap from Renault R.S.01 to Chevrolet Corvette. The Renault was far too difficult for me.

 

[WhiteFlight1]

@EATHinNZ Glad to have you onboard!

@Standard_FV Rodger that, the Renault has a GP2 engine

 

[Rinsky]

I will stay with the FT-1

 

[bloodyboyblue]

I will most likely switch to the Evo for now. Tired of 7 gears.

 

[WhiteFlight1]

@bloodyboyblue Is that your final answer? (Who wants to be a Millionaire style)

 

[EATHinNZ]

I'm excited for this, I hope I get the time right, looks like its about 10am Sunday for me which works out well

I guess you're in New Zealand so yeah lobby opens 10 AM 👍 Looking forward to race you

 

[Sniparator]

The Porsche is miiiinee!

 

[WaikeCU]

The Porsche is miiiinee!

Wanna drive for Sugar Rush Performance? I'm thinking of putting a Porsche on the grid, if someone wants to drive it!

 

[DC2_Evan]

I'll be doing some testing this weekend, just to make sure I pick something I'm consistent in, but I'm more than likely going to go with the Aston. I'll confirm this in the next few days. I'm HYPE for the new season.

 

[WhiteFlight1]

@bloodyboyblue Is that your final answer? (Who wants to be a Millionaire style)

I will reserve the Mitsubishi for now then 👍

 

[DrifterJoe]

Might swap to the Aston. Put me there for now. Only chose the Merc before because there were only a few FR cars left.

 

[Hasse R]

Aston Blast'um Racing @DrifterJoe?
