Thanks for updating the blog. So only one car switch after the first race. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I was already wanting to switch after I qualified and saw how may IS350's there were.

7 of 22 qualifiers were Lexus :crazy:

And only one Arta! Gonna miss those.

I'd recommend the Celica, great allround car with nice handling. Or the M3. Or the Subies ofc :D
 
Although the circuit was not favorable to overtaking the subaru 08 was really top level race cadency.! :D
per aillor some should pay attention to their rear view mirror when someone tries to double..

car door and the shots of the compaction is bof ..
 
08 Scooby was a rocket out of low speed corners.4wd helps at Laguna when 2 wheels are in the dirt and the car doesnt lose any time.


RX-7 already in the 51's at Daytona ;)
 
For the next race there will be one more ARTA fighting with the Lexi. Good to have Litchi as my teammate. :)
 
It should be a rule that if you switch cars, you should lose the points won with the previous car.

Yeah, for sure, this is the rule for car switching so if people want to do it, do it asap.
 
hah, yeah Litchi wth are you talking about?

What did you see?

Was it like a purple spiral?
 
I think I'm going to go with the '08 Arta as it was what I originally wanted in the first place. So I guess that makes 3...

Kudos sir! I have the Arta in the 53's thus far. Hopefully I can figure out where I'm losing time. Most likely it's in the bus stop and the turn after pit exit.

Edit: so we are able to use traction control? I thought it wasn't allowed?

Who said we could use TC?

And no, it's not allowed.

Not that I suspect anyone wants to actually use it, but... "One of these things is not like the other; One of these things is not quite the same" :dopey:
 
Ah jeez, I must've copied what I meant to paste over.

I figured we were not allowed but I saw that in the blog and was like...hmmm, that's different haha.

Also, did you knock the Fuji race from 250jm to 200km? :( I love those long races...
 
Yeah, just didn't want to go full out for 250 for the first enduro, Suzuka's going to be 250. But Fuji's still gonna end up being over an hour and a half and change so worry not, your endurance will be tested.

My shoulder and elbow usually start to cramp a bit. Gotta utilize pit time and straightaways to loosen up.
 
Doesn't that give you a big boost in respect for professional drivers? Imagine how it feels to be in a race car for four hours going flat out. I do three ten minute sessions of indoor karting and I'm complaining :D

Oh yeah. That's why I like endurance racing.
 
Opening up a practice room in a bit if anyone is trying to get some laps in. 👍
 
I'm in the 1'52's so far after a couple laps. A few tweaks here and there and I hopefully should hit the 1'51's. I'm in Michouw's room.

I'll go for 2 hours at Fuji. :)
