Looks like I'm out of the series due to my PS3 Blueray laser burning out last night.

Hopefully I will be back soon.

Team Voda getting some early practice in.
(Just to alleviate any concerns:- The members of Team Voda just happen to be in on the "secret", along with some others, and during a mock race we happen to all be grouped together at one spot, and I thought it would make a great photo. Been sitting on this image for days waiting for Oni to make the big reveal before I could upload it. What is happening regarding teams for the next series I have no idea, and will be up to Oni and others. My statement was merely disigned to say what people were driving the cars at the time the shot was taken. Plus I thought it was funny. :sly:)

WOW WOW WOW. HHHAAAANNNGGGG ON.

I loved this GT300 series, but I DOOOO believe we lost a bit of the whole "team" thing.

I love checking my points for each race, but also check the team points just as much, I say we need to do another qual, and the fastest gets paired with slowest and make teams that way. Team Colours and Team outfits. Adds more fun when testing with the team :D

... or you can tell me to shut up we are having same teams, im cool with that... :D

Also...hey everyone... I deeply missed you over the last week... It brought a tear sliding down my chubby cheek on monday night when I couldnt make it... ;(

Dammit , sorry to hear mate. We are equal on points too , I reckon you would have beaten me in the end , was looking forward to our points race though.

Team Celica is doomed !

This weeks winner is:

Rusty!!

Some stats, a graph:

orsrd6graph2.jpg


As before the votes and their positions shown here don't relate to the order in which the pictures were shown in the 'vote card'. It just shows vote amounts from least to most.

So a slightly more even spread of votes then previous weeks.

So Rusty, well done and you'll get to choose a theme for next weeks comp.

Thanks.
 
Congrats to team Voda on last nights clean sweep of the podium. You know what would have made a great pic ? Crossing the line in formation , Bathurst 77 style !! Convincing drivers 2 and 3 to follow team orders might have been a challenge though !

:D :D :D
 
Hey yeah Spin, '77 Bathurst must of been great to see as it happened.

About the Photocomp...can't believe I won!:dopey: There is sooo many genuinely well done shots being entered...it means you really have to put some thougth into a great shot!

ORS Round 7 Photocomp Theme: 'Almost a moment' (Photograph someone taking it too the edge and nearly having a big moment ie. Damage, Hit a wall etc!)

Cheers Cactass. I know they are time consuming so thanks again for taking the time out of your day to do them.
 
Ditto to Onis words , thanks Cac. You're a legend. 👍

Viewing the graphs from this round may actually be a pleasurable experience for me ! :D

A bit over the edge , it was a big moment but I kept it off the wall at least

Weekly theme:

I'm going to start a thing each week I make a post using the Photo comp banner so there's a 'place-marked' listing of that week's theme.

This week's theme: 'Almost a moment' (Photograph someone taking it too the edge and nearly having a big moment ie. Damage, Hit a wall etc!)
 
Hey great idea Mic!
I will get my Photo comp entry up soon. I'd also just like to make mention of the upcoming Enduro Velly has planned for this Weekend.;)

Thanks Mic and all for a great race...

After some significant testing hours/practice for this race Team Voda def. had it's ducks in a row. Things where going well for me until around lap 36ish when my trusty G27 decided it had had quite enough of the punishment I've dished out to it over the last 18 months and sheared all the internal mounts for the FF motors on a quick correction through the corkscrew. Crack, crack crack! it went. After this lil' incident, the wheel was moving about inch left to right off center and pulling out about half an inch - I hung on as best I could.

'Almost a moment' Might be taking this a little to far but this was almost a moment as I arrived on the scene at JUST the right time (with Rusty in tow). Oni had just saved a massive moment at the bottom of the corkscrew and then came to grief via a Cussco T-Bone. Had I been .5 further up the road I may have been caught up in the drama. Quick flick right from me to avoid the carnage and I'm on my way to P1! :sly:

It's been a great series thus far and a shame next monday is the final round.

ORS_SGT300_R8.png


Judging by the points it will be down to the wire for alot of people trying to secure that last podium finish. It's looking like a round to remember! Good luck all and hope the testing/practice is going smoothly.

 
Yes Oni, i hope Rota will be there to defend his 3rd place, and hopefully ARTA score big points against Autobacs. Who i think have the constructors wrapped up.
And with Rusty's massive ballast, you, yourself have a good chance of taking the title.
 
Don't worry Pawel! I will be there! Just don't know how well I will do being off GT5 for 2 or 3 weeks :S

I can only dream how I would have gone if i didn't miss two races! :(

Ha! Welcome to my world, for every series, now and in the future! :)

(*NB for CEO. I'm not complaining! Just LOL'ing over the sentiments. :sly:)

Have a good race Monday Night everyone. Unfortunately I can't be there due to work commitments. 👎

This round i really have to pull out all stops to take the crown off of Rusty. Rusty on the other hand just needs to finish 4th or better to win. Me on the other hand. I will need pole for qualifying, fastest lap and finish first to guarantee taking the crown. With all of that required my chances are very low to pull it off but it will be a very close result in the end. After such a dismal first half of the series and only getting 1 first place finish in the entire series i am glad to be in a position (even though its near impossible) to take the crown.

Behind Rusty and I there is another battle going on for 3rd place overall. With Rota currently holding off Pawel for 3rd by only 8 points and Spinner, Cactass and Jol hungry to take that away from them and possibly take 3rd (although it will be a drive of their lives) its going to be a exciting finish with a lot of positions swapping till the finish.

This last race will require a lot of drivers to dig deep to find those extra tenths, stay consistent and have that little more tyre wear then the competition. Being a 60 lap race, it will require that picture perfect pit strategy.

Good luck all! It's been a blast!

Oni.
 
A few happy snaps from today's visit to Hobby Co in Sydney’s CBD...Two levels of wall to wall cool.

Rota and Pawel...making quite a name for themselves…. Wait, WTF, is that Team Cussco as well!?

Got a problem with your neighbours? Not anymore...
 
Nice pics mate, looks like you had fun

Has anyone got some times for diff compounds for GV east reverse? I know we have the qual times to go off, but looking for drivers in different cars. Its a struggle to get back up to your old pace once you have been off for a while
 
Well qualifying was done on Mediums in a detuned RX-7. At the moment the fastest time i have seen on softs was a 1:01.508. Hope that helps.
 
Thanks oni, was that a rusty time or a normal tier 1 driver time? lol
Haha...definitely not a Rusty time lol:lol:
50Kg on a car that was already not overly burdened with power keeps me from challenging that time...best I have got is a 1:01.836.
Perhaps it wil be a good battle between us.:D

EDIT:
Photo Comp Entry!

Not as much time put into this one...but here is a pic of JTV...sooo close to nearly loosing it on the run up to the cork screw. He held it together and got away with it!:dopey:👍
