Drivers on probation for the rest of the season

None. So far.

SIGNUPS are now permanent, once you sign up you are good to go for the rest of the 8 week season.

- At the end of the race just write down your finishing position compared to the other GTP members. If you finish up front use the extra time to write down the finishing position of the others to ensure everything is recorded in case they don't see the results.

Power Rankings - After Round 1
Written by: Earth

OrangeR Cup Power Rankings - Round 2


1. EL_ZISSOU - Drama-Kyd was more consistent, but EL_ZISSOU has two head to head wins

2. Drama-Kyd - Extemely promising performance from Drama-Kyd. He is #2, but just.

3. LinPark - Outside of a tough first race, LinPark must be pleased with his performance in Round 1

4. timeattack07gt - timeattack cannot be pleased about not scoring a podium in Round 1

5. CudaDude - Decent first round outside of the problems in Race 3

6. L_Hamilton - Two 5th place finishes. After missing the last half of last season, could lack of track time be hurting him?

7. B-Ras - He got a podium in race 2, but what happened in race 1 and 3?

8. cpp214 - Mediocre results all the way around. Surely he will improve

9. mkay - What a devestating first round for mkay. Surely a lack of practice caused this result.

10. Chadwicksracing - N/A
10. Earth - N/A

Clubman Cup Power Rankings - Round 2

1. Windfire1010 - First time out, 3 races, 3 wins. But that was vs half fields.

2. clacksman - 2 wins and a second. Can't wait until he races Windfire1010

3. Heli-Eric - 3 solid podium positions vs solid competition

4. EERS4YEARS - Strong podium finishes, but they were vs the smaller half of the field

5. JerseyBoy85ss - He won a race, but what happened in the other 2 races?

6. SupaaKink - He's shown consistency and speed. He will move up the rankings in no time.

7. FLASH48 - A bit inconsistent. But he has shown the pace

8. CerealKiller - Hard to get an idea of CerealKiller's pace because of the split races

9. lildomplaya - Finishing last or almost last can't be a good thing. But he is a rookie and will improve

10. snakegt40 - His experience in the Clubman Cup will bring better results

11. Mr.Grandorifto - A hatred of Suzuka really showed as he struggled to find the pace


____________________________________________________________

I'll update the entry list soon

What I mean by rolling starts is that after the leader takes the green he will maintain a fixed speed for a fixed amount of time to allow everyone to bunch up then the race will begin.

Sounds good to me, except for people like me that doesn't have chat! Eiger is going to be bumper cars! It is track made for two cars at a time! Put twelve cars on there, and it's going to suck for tailend charlie! Which 90% of the time is me. You can stack them up and it will not matter, for the guys in the back!

Sorry didn't read about the fixed speed! But i don't think it woul work for Eiger, i would rather do a TT on that course!
 
S3's grip good enough.. :) Sounds like a lot of fun. Execpt for the fact that we are racing on Fuji....flash backs.
 
S3's are about a second slower than R1's, but it feels a lot faster. Sport tires will definitly break up the field, I think Race tires would have kept everyone in a big pack, good call fellas:tup:
 
On the power rankings ... I can't wait to race Windfire either. :D

Jerseyboy got away from a good start for his win, I couldn't run him down. :drool:
I watched him spin out in the other two. :scared:

edit: Team WAT in Hellrot this round, the lighter of the two available shades. I will edit this post with the correct name.

JerseyBoy85ss - He won a race, but what happened in the other 2 races?

I'm fast but not the most consistent. I beat myself in the other 2 races.
 
Anyone have a general laptime or get any practice yet?

Not really, but a friend of mine went 1:56.3 in a Z4 on S2s there just last week. No idea about his setup.

I got a race there with EERS a few days ago where we both went mid-1:55s. I'm pretty sure he was on not much of a setup. I was on an R1 Suzuka setup with a bad guess at a final drive change.
 
With R1's I was in the mid 1.53's... S3's, time will tell, Im not, :lol: I will say this much... 1.56.3 wont be fast enough.
 
I'm just getting started, but I've managed a 1'55.6 on S3s. I don't have a clue how to go fast at Fuji, so I'm sure much better is possible.

Yes, that seems to be a good time for now. I predict mid 1'54's by the time we get out tunes right. Good day.
 
i'll give this a shot later, hopefully i can get into the 55s, me and fuji are currently seeking marriage counseling, i hope it works out by race day.
 
lol, DK if you dont get into the 55's the world will end. T2 1.00.5... but thats before the tricky part. No way anyone will do 54's with people trying to pass at every frickin turn, wait, the draft will subtract .5 or more for guys 2-12.
 
On the bottom of the first page of the GT5P Race Events page there is a NTSC Championship Sign Up page, I would start there. Ask Earth anything else you need to know, or Chadwick, both Goodfellas.
 
it amazes me that 550 eiger got so many votes. *waits for numerous meltdowns after the eiger races*
 
Eiger doesn't like me, and i don't like it! My arms are going to hurt for weeks, after the races at Eiger!!! That is why i picked HSR!!! You guys are just trying to kill, an old man!!!:sly:👍
