OGR "Off Season Racing" 2.5

[awr117]

Wish I had more time to run the gt academy. It was a good reminder of how fast we're not

Thought for sure i'd hit the high 31's. Had it a few times and screwed up the last 2 turns. Still finished #440 in the country. So am happy with that.

Not sure I'm gonna run this Thursday. Still trying to get the old arm to not hurt when driving. 8 hrs a day with a mouse doing CAD doesn't help either. Work's over rated.

At any rate, gave the HKS a test run at lunch with a couple different set ups. Had no idea it would shred the tires so bad. Good grief. Sure ain't designed for enduros-was hoping this would be a fun ride. Driving it like it's supposed to be driven is a hoot...for one lap. Tried to save the tires but lost interest in that and just ran a couple hot laps. Had a mid 47 easily. This oughta be a TT with tire wear off!

Looks like Motegi is set for DLC tomorrow.

1. Since tire wear is such an issue here with this car and track. Let's put it up to a vote:
a. Tire wear off and 1 mandatory pit stop
b. Tire wear on run like we normally do

2. If the DLC is released will will adding a sixth race. Give me some suggestions as far as what we want to race there. And if you guys want we can do a seventh race with a different track configuration (shorter version). Or we can do both tracks the same night. It's up to you guys.

I'll vote 1a.

Undecided on Motegi. Actually anything BUT the GTA Tuned 370Z!
The oval would be fun with Nascars.

 

[brettcee]

I vote for "A", I really don't feel like pitting 10+ times.

Either is fine by me. The tire wear with the HKS is brutal.

Motegi: Something from Pk1. Mazda Roadster TC, Dodge Challenger SRT8 or Mazda RX-7 TC get my vote.

Article on the HKS Evo. Still holds fastest lap record on Tsukuba for Time Attack cars.

I vote no tire wear. And would love to take the Team Oreca Viper out on Twin Ring.

Hmmm that gives me an idea

Well I think the majority has ruled. I'm going to make it official; Tire wear OFF with 1 MANDATORY pit stop for this race only. Again I'm sorry about not looking into this car further.

I'll go with the flow on this. Of course my successes have always been on tire management.

How many beer minimum for Thursday?

I'm not familiar with the Montegi layouts. I would like to run a prototype or formula car.

4

 

[E46Envy]

4

I can do that!

 

[Godangit]

I think I will be filling my mug with Budweiser lime a rita.

 

[xR0ADRASHx]

I'll be stick to the H2O. I'd end up setting the race for 240 laps or something

 

[awr117]

Zima racing and yes i am joking lol

FYI: Motegi is now available for purchase. I picked it up. Quick install since it has already been downloaded in a previous update. $5 for 2 tracks. Full Motegi, East Course, West Course and the Oval which is a separate track.

Appears no time change or weather. What the hell is wrong with PD? I thought over time they would convert all tracks to time & weather change. lol

Jose Quervo Racing!.....and no I'm not kidding.

Montegi is an extremely technical course and a lot of fun. I actually enjoy the track more than SPA.

I like the track but the outskirts make the feel stagnant. I played some game, don't remember what, at Motegi and got burned out on it. Can't wait for LMP's there however. Hint hint next AIWJT series.

Oh man, i suck in LMP's. Should be fun trying to figure those out 👍

I will be buying Montegi and that will be my first experience there. I love a new challenge.

Ooooooooo, I smell a new challenge! Loving it.

I'll put tunes out. Maybe.

Sprints tonight? Need to check the draft.
Weird to run w/o tire wear-should make for a tight race though.

I'm at a new store now so my schedule has bee crazy lately. Any chance we can hold next weeks race for friday? I actually got friday off next week. I really want to participate but I know its selfish to delay a race just for me but I just had to try....I'm going to talk to my new store manager and see about getting Thursdays consistently off tomorrow. I'm actually off today so if anybody is practicing today I'd love to jump in.

Also I've begun working on the next season of STC and hope to have it ready to go after the OGR series.

I love the Roadster TC. I'd be up for that race if there's room.

I have no problem with that. Not sure about others though.

I've yet to race the Roadster TC online. Such a fun car to drive. Would be a blast.
