PURE | JGTS - Going on strong and adapting in the face of change!

[GV27]

Disappointing indeed, it's a shame you're leaving, Tony. Racing with you was a honor. 👍

And also, while I'm honestly fine with the ballast system, because it's realistic, we could also consider using power restriction for next season. All I do is read people who dislike ballast. Perhaps having a car with the same weight but less power could work better. I don't know, just throwing an idea that crossed my mind. Again, I'm fine with ballast, but whatever.

 

[Denilson]

The ballast system is fine GV.. It's just that some drivers are so fast that they have to race with a lot of ballast, and that's not fun for them as I understand it.

My only suggestion to those drivers are to find championships with only drivers of the same pace as themselves, cause any other championship they participate in will be boring for them.

Sadly, there's no way around this problem at the moment. Either race without ballast, and winning too easy will be boring.. Or race with ballast, and the car will be boring to drive.. What to do?

 

[Wardez]

Staggered start where we get a lap head start on the aliens, no ballast.

Not a bad idea.. But really hard to implement, right?

Perhaps something to discuss for season 2.. 💡

 

[Wardez]

Only partially serious. It would go against the spirit of racing needing to calculate before each race to ensure a "good" race.

It's Bernie Ecclestone theory.

The problem is that there's just not nearly as much competition at the top of the pyramid, that's why it's the top. And since we can't give the rewards that someone like Vettel gets, you have little to race for. It's a vicious climb to the summit I guess.

 

[Denilson]

Ye, but was thinking more like a time penalty.. Ahh, well, well..

 

[Wardez]

lol, Dennis and I are scrambling on Facebook chat about series theory.

We're gonna send a PM out discussing our plans for the series after JGTS ends.

We've decided to do two. Keep an eye on your inboxes 👍

 

[paulmac2k9]

Lol you 2 are crazy guys with your ideas and commitment but we love you for it 👍.

 

[Joshua1994]

Completely out of the blue, but why not for Tony's last 2 races just get rid of his ballast, and if he does (when) appear on the podium, not give him full points? At-least then he can enjoy the last few races 👍

 

[GV27]

Sorry Den, I never intended to mean the ballast system was bad. I already said I like it anyway 👍

No need to appologize Alex. I never thought you ment it was bad in any way. 👍

I was just trying to make a point that we don't need to rework it. With either success penalty system we use, a player like tony will always suffer badly.

While for the rest of us being fast enough to merit ballast is an honour . In WSGTC 2 I got a total of 90kgs I think including my win at the Nords 24hr wet race (Last race) with 30kgs . (I got 10kgs from 3rd at Monza and 30kgs from 2nd at Daytona Road and 50kgs from 1st at Nords )

It's amazing how much I hate the road course at IMS. It's just so... BLAH.

 

[paulmac2k9]

IMS? .

 

[BrosifDuder]

Sorry, Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

 

[paulmac2k9]

Lol im stupid!

More interested in the original 1909 layout? It even had trees!

Bad news for me guys.
There's this wedding i'm supposed to go this weekend. In my mind i was sure it was gonna be on saturday, but my wife just told me it's on sunday and i was like "wtf".
We already bought the present and told the couple we are going, so i won't be able to race this week.
I'm really sorry, i didn't wanna miss anymore races after missing out two already.

[Dr_Watson]

open bar?

 

[TheMinion]

open bar?

Yeah

 

[GV27]

Have a drink and a snack for all the PURE drivers then!

 

[Denilson]

Open Bar!!

What are you waiting for?? Get your a** over there NOW!!!

Just tell them you're early..

 

[redreevos]

You guys are welcome to come over to my house. I have tons of booze and no one to drink with.(We just found out my wife is pregnant) She was my best drinking buddy.

They had a special at the local grocery, that if you bought exactly 6 bottles of booze, you got 30% off the whole thing. Lol, I did that deal at least 10 times... and I don't drink that much... so you can imagine the stockpile. All good stuff too.

I'll be there in a flash!!

Seriously, gratz to you and your wife!!

💡 It's sad that you have to go out drinking with your friends now when she can't drink with you any more..

(Don't tell her I said that.. )

LOL.. Yeah. She's pretty cool about that kind of stuff.

Thanks for the congrats Dennis, we are pretty excited about it.

A friend came over for dinner last night, and I used that as an excuse to break out the Johnnie Walker Family.(Lol, we had green, gold, then blue.. finsihed it off with some Macallan for good measure.) Small pours of course. I never use scotch to get drunk.. Though I had a pretty good buzz.

Sounds good.. Your wife seem to be a super wife!! 👍

But how do you say in the states?
Here in Sweden, we have to be political correct about everything, so it's not the girl who's pregnant.. Both are (The couple)...

She IS!!

Nah, its just her that is pregnant.. Though, I have been indulging lately, so I am "showing" more than she is.Showing = Belly sticking out.

I guess we would say that we (as a couple) are "expecting", but she is pregnant.

 

[paulmac2k9]

🤬 being politicaly correct! PCness can kiss my a**! (Its something english ministers came up with and quite frankly them snobs at westminster can stick it where the sun don't shine ).
