****Old Muscle Car Madness Championship****

[jammy21]

In 2nd race when I pass BB to take lead I saw him to spun behind me when he went little wide to grass - first thing to came to my mind was - did I caused it? - did I made contact? - even though I knew we didn't made any contact.

Here's a odd thing, during a race when someone goes off, I feel bad for them. Same if I have a moment - I feel bad for the guys I was racing close with as I denied them a close race. Is it just me?

Thanks for challenge but I did finished already with MB. As for TT's general I usually want to make them as challenge and pick to the car that give me some work to do to get Gold prize. Sometimes I spent about 0,5- 1 hrs to them but no more.

A Bathurst Challenge for Jammy: If you can beat my time in the Mt. Panorama 630pp TT in the same car (Z4 GT3 '11) you can join anytime mate

i was very slow, in my first race, i dont see the Track, my DVD was not loading, right. My fastest time, was 2.14..... 5 sec, slower, but it was ok......Ok 5-6 beers was in me too^^......

My Training was't good, 5-6 rounds ^

Most of them have moved on to ps4 or PC by now. A lot of the old names who used to always be at the tops of the lists aren't there anymore since they aren't playing.

That puts things in perspective. Why don't the Immortals move on to PC or PS4?

Ran on your track last night Colin with Al (autope10). 2:18.5 was my best lap - if you want something to shoot for - and Al was doing 2.21s. Here's another oddity: with exactly the same power parts and weight he had 8hp more than me. So he went and bought a new Charger - same, 8hp up without oil change. Are the hp figures slightly different depending on which area of the world you are in? I think I read something about that before.

8hp up without oil change

It might be the lack of an oil change that is a factor. With new oil the power limiter may have to be decreased further to hit the same 525 PP.
Could also be the kW/HP conversion as well I suppose.

We both had the same % on the power limiter - that's what I can't understand.

Yes, some countries use Metric HP (usually has CV instead of HP). They're both exactly the same when converted. I've seen this asked many times in regards to TT tunes.

I just watched the replay and it looked like you fellas had a ball on Saturday night (Sunday morning for me). Great job with the replay mate, excellent to watch (hopefully I'll be in one soon).

We Greeks use the metric units (PS, CV) and not the units the UK, USA and Australia use (BHP).
However the SI unit for horsepower is the watt.

See how you feel mate. This isn't one of those serious championships. Just like blue's Wagon Championship, which we'd love to see you enjoy, we're here to have fun.

Wholeflats Aerodrome is up next https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/resources/wholeflats-aerodrome.5099/ in the Charger 440 R/T '70. We need someone who can keep up with Jammy

Personal best is a 2:23... man the car is too b****y to drive.

bolshy? ballsy? bitchy? brainy?

You've still got a few days left to tame it. If it's any consolation, my set up is very t****y.

Just about to give using my wheel a go for the first time in ages so I'll see how i pull up, but even if I pull up OK I won't be able to make this race unfortunately. Got a big Saturday planned with mates watching V8 Supercars and AFL (and way to many beers) so I won't be much good on Sunday morning . No chance of me keeping up with Jammy even at my best (mid pack more like it I think) let alone in the state I'll be in. Off to try the Bathurst TT (great time btw, gonna be hard to beat), I tried with the DS3 the other day and man do I suck with a controller, I could not do one legal lap.

Have a great race everyone.

Thanks mate:tup:

Great TT time @FPV MIC! I might be able to find 3 tenths with practice but not 6 tenths. That's Jammy territory. Have a good weekend, continue to get better, and hopefully we'll see you at Rocky Road in the El Camino the following weekend.

Charger 440 + Eifel tarmac grip = baaaaaad combination

Anyways see you Saturday if I'm on.

 

[buybon355]

Delicate inputs required john. Not too many corners though. Should be fun

Charger 440 + Eifel tarmac grip = test of driver skill

It's too much grip for me, too hard to get into a controlled slide. Easy to get into an uncontrolled one though.

 

[reefer]

Love the slipstream I was getting on your track 2 days ago Colin - top speed 183mph

 

[buybon355]

Nice!! That's what I was hoping for. Looking forward to this.

 

[reefer]

Quite funny, after the flag drops everyone forms a charger train and, thinking about it, you might not want pole tomorrow night. In fact, you might not even want second on the grid. It might be the 3rd placed man who has the advantage into the first corner, all else being equal. Some fun races tonight and I never even got a sniff of 1st place.

 

[reefer]

Router reset, cache cleaned and practice room open. Ready to rock 'n' roll..

 

[richroo]

Had lots of fun guys ,thanks for having me!

 

[buybon355]

Great sport tonight guys. Just watched the replay of both races, chargers look awesome sliding around. Lag is a bummer but we all knew that before we started.

Good quality racing though, well done to all

thx for the bonus we had good fun that's all I'm asking for 👍

 

[CrazyJohn]

Good races but I clearly did not deserve to be the only one affected by lag spikes... AGAIN

 

[buybon355]

John, Joe lost the lead because of a lag spike! We all had some experience of it at some point. Chill out and have fun!

From page 1:
Often with user-created tracks lag is experienced, but to minimise this please clear your cache before entering the room. Some lag may still be experienced, but hey, it’s a fun championship and, we’ll just need to roll with the punches!

 

[CrazyJohn]

I agree with that but with lag spikes it is not fun.

That is the reason I loved race 1 and hated race 2. No lag spikes on the 1st race, which meant we were a pack without crashing a lot due to lag, and lag spikes on the 2nd race destroyed close racing..

Just a comment about the track... it is waaaay better to have 4 people around you in the start / finish straight, rather than having no one.

Anyways. I will forget about it... I will post some pictures later.

The thing is, it had been great all week too with not a hint of lag. Tooma got knocked off due to lag and the gent that he is never said a word. Blue took a tumble too and just got the head down and got on with it. No moans. Twice when I was leading by around 3 seconds I lost the lead..both times. Didn't bother me in the slightest. And all others were affected too. It was particularly bad last night though; I don't think anyone likes to be affected by lag. But we knew that was gonna be the case when we set it up/signed up. Try not to let it affect you too much John. Btw, well done to all for the big effort to keep it clean (as can be seen in the video above) which wasn't always easy. I had a great time:tup:

Rocky Road up next..

Nah, any tumbles I took were due to my trouble with downhill braking sections rather than lag, other than the one with John in race 2.

Also I was the only one bump drafting as usual. That finishing straight was made for it.
