ORS | SEASON 5 | V12 Vantage Championship

It does help stick the car to the ground , I agree. I ran 40kgs in Quali but after removing it for testing at Fuji last night , I found the car gets out of corners quicker and although I have no data to back this up , I am certain tyre wear will be ~% better without the added weight. But at some tracks , ballast will be a boon , I agree.

That said, fast drivers will always be fast and one extra pitstop during a race may cost them a position or two at worst I reckon. This is going to be really interesting .......

Slave away at a setup and you can make anything work. I found shifting the weight to the rear all the way wears the rears faster than the front, so Div 1 drivers can do that but Div 2 drivers might pip them in pit stops.

I think this might be one series where setup sharing is out of the question

 

[Oniichan]

The series is finally underway this coming Monday. I hope you are all prepared and have applied the required weight for your Tier.

So here we go. Without further a due.

Round 1 - Fuji Speedway GT

Monday - 5th March 2012

Remember the 2 wheels must stay inside the racing line rule. Be careful of running wide at Dunlop as this would be seen as an advantage and would incur a penalty, same goes for Turn 1, Coca Cola and Panasonic.

Remember this is the GT track and not Fuji Speedway F.

Looking forward to race 1 boys. Lets make it a good one.

Just had a look at 'the qualifier' spreadsheet.. WOW, 1 second covers 9 drivers!
9 drivers within 1% of each other.. This **** is gonna be tight!!!

 

[Rotamasta7]

.... Fastest Time - TT-R_Toivo - 1:37.471

Thats mental! Did you remember to add the extra kiwi penalty oni? was it the full 200kg's for this champ? Toiv are you Greg Murphys coach or son?

 

[Oniichan]

Forgot to mention how many laps we will be running around Fuji Speedway GT.

Laps: 40

EDIT: I have updated all the teams. The final team is .. a force to be reckoned with, Toiv and Rusty.

 

[Rotamasta7]

OK sooooo.... the team (Rota, Spin and willco) had a team meeting the other day... manager wasn't impressed with the outcome of the days meeting and photo shoot.

Eventually, once we ran out of tyres, we headed into the pits to fit the new team extras.

Team McCheese, kicking the first race off with a McCheese colour but EVERYWEEK will be getting new orders and changing colours accordingly.

 

[willco69]

Love it Roota.. 'free root' valid for 6 months.. lololol

 

[mrtaital]

Multiple fails here, in your second last picture you have a bloody lambo in it lololol looks like catman has photobombed it..

but good to see team dick cheese has shown their cards, numerous flavours valid during the season eh..

 

[Oniichan]

Lol.. looking forward to these flavours throughout the season.

Evan has be nominated team principle by lost and I so team colours and name will be left with him.. waiting on a reply to find out who our sponsors are this season.

PSN maintenance on tomorrow may affect our quali session. Supposed to finish at 9pm , hopefully it's done well before then.

I guess worst case if the network is down until 9 , we all jump on then ...... ?

 

[Oniichan]

Hopefully the maintenance finishes before qualifying. If it ends up finishing at 9pm we will go for a 10 minute qualifying season then race.

Be prepared for some potential delays as services are restored tho'. As soon as its back up, a few million of those 77m PSN accounts will be trying to login at the same time.

 

[mrtaital]

Er, i think we may have calculated the time converter wrong for Non daylight savings....this is on the PSN site

PlayStation Network is offline for scheduled maintenance from 7am to 10pm (AEST) on Monday 5 March 2012

I blame CoD for this.

. Even if they haven't included Daylight Savings, the race is going to be pretty late... I don't have work tomorrow so I'll be on till my usual time. But WWOD? (What Will Oni Do). Delay a week or Run a late race?

 

[Oniichan]

Yeah i am still deciding what to do. I am hoping PSN comes up a bit earlier like in the past. If it is looking to come up around 9:30-10pm then the race will be postponed until next week. If it comes up at 9pm we do a quick qualifying (10mins) and race the 40 laps as intended.

 

[spinner]

Its 5.30 and I'm logged on to psn. No problemos hombres

 

[MikeekiM]

Excellent Spin

I shall put my dunce hat back on after it's lengthy use last night and see you all on the track

 

[Oniichan]

Woo hoo!! race 1 is on as scheduled.

Evan - Whats up mate. I cant send you a PM says you don't accept PMs. I was going to tell you who you need to block during the race for me. Now Lost is going to know i want you to block him. LOL

Haha pro tactics!

 

[PAWEL17]

On paper, it should be a very close race in tier 2.

I just looked at the replay again, and i have to apologize to Wilco, i got in his way and wrecked his car. I tried to go to one side and avoid everyone. But my car was uncontrollable.

You had a big hit with Jol I can understand it

 

[Cactass]

When you get a spare moment MrT, any chance of sending over a copy of the replay. Wouldn't mind sitting back with some beverage and nibbles and watching the carnage unfold when I get some time between work and sleeping.

So you want the replay file itself?
