had a good race with GTP_gtbadboy like 10 hours ago. cheers mate đź‘Ť

Thanks seizure. đź‘Ť

I've just taken the time to read oh, the last 5 or 6 pages and I find it interesting that WE ALL get frustrated and at times we all become the "punter" (if only in our hearts) with very few exceptions. It's only human nature I suspect that when the frustration level becomes so great we want to strike back.

I have no doubt that 95% of those with GTP tags are better and cleaner drivers than 99% of the drivers we meet. We all have our own styles of driving and we all have egos and tempers. It's the GTP tag that keeps me from going ape**** bananas sometimes, especially when I'm the only one out there with it. Call it an old mans perspective, but when I'm the only GTP out there I represent all of you, whether I like it or not. Whether you like it or not.

Are we going to make mistakes? You bet, and I am going to run into someone for any number of reasons. Lack of concentration, bump drafted, punted, bad decision making, trying to avoid some idiot who hasn't a clue, the list goes on and on. What I can tell you is that it won't be intentional because I have too much respect for anyone flying our "colors" and I'll not do it to non GTP racers for the same reason.

Apologies are fine, but doesn't some of the contact here come under the heading of "racing." Wouldn't it be better to PM each other and settle it "out of court?" Yes, we should be made aware of the persistent idiot and input here helps in avoidance of those idiots but we should also be more appropriate to our fellow GTP'ers. Just MHO..........here's where the "badboy" steps down off the soap box. :cheers:
 
I'm gonna be in the 600PP suzuka race prob all afternoon and mabye (well probably) some this evening its about 3pm CST come play! prob be either in the STI or mabye work on my mustang some more
 
damn, i didnt get 1 clean race today. mostly my own doing. I sucked today!!!
sorry i couldnt be any compitition Div

Dude that guy we just raced against in the white s2000 punted me straight into ravenmaven.
 
Lots of children in Suzuka 750pp punting like crazy. I have most of their names already written down from previous races on my own personal black list, so at least I know what I'm up against going into it.

We have at least 4 or 5 GTPers lined up for a race at Suzuka but the host keeps quitting before the race begins!
 
come on over to 600 Ive had a bunch of good races, takeing break ATM to eat then I'll be back at it.đź‘Ť

i think the host bandwidth just cant support 16 racers. wouldve been sweet tho!

I made the mistake of shifting into 5th before the chicane just now and went flying into the tires. Top 7 = 5 GTP members :)

Ah i see.

Man we just had an awesome race at Suzuka! 6 of the 11 cars were GTPers. I was running 3rd but spun on my own going into 130r on the last lap. I had to take out a moron in an S2000 who kept hitting me from behind, but other than that it was an awesome and VERY close race!

That race was even better! I think 6 or 7 were GTPers and everyone raced very clean. I made a mistake in the esses on the first lap (cold tires caught me out) and worked my way up from last to first. :)
 
Nice come from behind victory on that last one slicecom đź‘Ť

Thanks!

Too bad the host quit that last one... it was shaping up to be wild! Looking in my rear view mirror was terrifying! Every time I did I saw you and an S2000 2 wide, but somehow you never took each other out, and the whole field within a second behind you!
 
Yeah man it was getting scary. Since I race on the roof of the car I have to continuously hit L1 to see where everyone is.
 
Coachcabbage (purple mitsu) was driving like an idiot. He pushed me off when i tried to pass and was swerving all over. When he pushed me off, a white skyline got by me and coach started pulling the same stunts on him, so I gave the skyline a bump draft on the front stretch so he could get by, but coach ended up taking them both off in turn one.
 
Yeah I've been having the same problems with that person.

He took me out again that race! and I think he took out The Moose too. But I got my revenge, and The Moose had a front row ticket to it. I'm sure he enjoyed it. :D Cabbage quit shortly after, I worked my way back up to 3rd.

Wow, I drove like a complete amateur that race. So many mistakes! :( This 900 degree steering nonsense SUCKS when you have to recover from a spin!
 
Yo slicecom, did that yellow lotus take you out at spoon??

No that was all me. Tried to get on the gas early so I could get a run on Matthnt and got on the gas too hard. TC would have helped in that situation for sure. :lol:

As for the race that just happened, sorry to Alpine. I took him out at the hairpin by accident. He braked WAY earlier than I usually do. I slowed down and let him by, but he spun on his own at spoon. I guess he doesn't know about the dirty tires.
 
I amaze myself that when I'm out in front at suzuka I'm running mid 2:07's but when slicecom is in front of me and I'm chasing him down I'm doing 2:05's. That tells me that I suck at being in the lead and I love the thrill of the chase!
 
You know that's me right?

:lol: yeah i know its you, i didn't realize it was you who asked the question though! :crazy:

Good race in that last one. I was out front with a 3 second lead and then my sister came in and started talking to me, next thing I know you're RIGHT behind me! I told her to leave the room and come back when I'm done the race! :lol:

I gotta go guys. I may or may not be back tonight. Some of the best racing I've ever had this evening. Great driving by all GTPers I encountered, yes, including you Hooligan. :lol:
 
That race was even better! I think 6 or 7 were GTPers and everyone raced very clean. I made a mistake in the esses on the first lap (cold tires caught me out) and worked my way up from last to first. :)

Nope, that was me. If its the race I am thinking of. I tapped you, and you spun. Tried to get on the brakes quick enough, but got'cha. That is why I stopped and let you go ahead of me. Then I couldn't get anything going.

Sorry to everyone. I was trying some new settings. Obviously did not work. :yuck: Catch up with you all later.

BTW, Slicecom, you looked to be much faster then the last time I raced you! đź‘Ť Except for in the esses. :sly: ;) You can send me the settings for that beast if you want to. :D
 
I started that last race in last man, took me 2 1/4 laps to get past everyone.

:lol: I kept looking back wondering where you were because all of the races previous came down to a duel between me and you fighting it out for the lead. I started to question whether I saw your name on the grid to begin with! Awesome racing man. I didn't keep track, but I think the results were something like:

1st: you
2nd: me

next race:
1st: me
2nd: you

next race:
1st: you
2nd: me

next race:
1st: me
2nd: you

next race:
1st: you
2nd: me

next race:
1st: me
2nd: you

and so on. :D
