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

[CSLACR]

Change the final gear (step 3) to 3740. Much better like that

Yes it is, even better if you set up the trans with your final drive as low as it goes numerically.

Sorry guys ive snapped, im quiting GT5 for the time being, have fun.

Shame to hear, I've been expecting this though, one can only take so much bad luck.

Wait, what? What happened?

 

[GV27]

I don't know what happened, Paul, but I reccomend that you continue.

As you know, I had horrible Monza and Spa JGTS, then Nürburgring was just as bad. With the RX7s, it was not much better. It was looking like a horrible month. But I just kept being stubborn (to be honest, it wasn't me being brave or even obstinate, it was me being plain stubborn) and continued to race, practicing the hell off during weeks. And after a horrible, horrible spell, things are starting to get better.

Still no luck, really, as Indianapolis was decent but I felt I could have finished higher up in the sprint race, and yesterday at Laguna Seca WSGTC I could have won if it wasn't for my one and only mistake in the race, but at least I'm getting better results. Of course, I'm not going to pester you to continue, but you're a good guy and I thought I should at least suggest you continue. I wasn't having fun, but I continued out of self love and pride. And it's slowly starting to pay off. I don't know if I'll ever actually win a race, which is my initial goal, but at least I don't finish races in tears.

That, and fighting for a victory with other drivers is better than finishing dead last without any fights.

EDIT: And while I'm at it, I have no hard feelings towards you about Indianapolis. I hope you feel the same. Just wanted to clear that out before you leave, in case you actually do it.

 

[SG15]

Hey Paul,

I'm newbie here but I can say that leave this championship it's a crazyness men. It's full of great and clean people. I'm having fun here and I'm just fighting for not be the last on the grid. You, Paul, are fast; on the last race at Indianapolis were on D1 race so you must rethink on leaving, I think it's a mistake do that.

I was noticed on your race incident with GV27, because he is my friend ORL. It was only a bad race i had been involved on race incidents in Monaco and Spa some were mistakes by me some others not but I know all of them wasn't intentionated.

Well, i can't say more than I said. Now it's time for your final decition. All i can say is that i want you on the series.

See you soon mate

 

[redreevos]

Paul.. bummed you aren't going to finish the season. I understand though. Sometimes a break is needed. If you change your mind you are always welcome.

Is anyone around in the next hour or so.. would very much like to get my quali in before my wife wakes up. Thanks.

 

[Denilson]

NEPALII, you can drive the PETRONAS in D2. 👍

Rees, sorry mate, I can't get on now..

 

[redreevos]

I think Dom has me covered. Having some technical difficulties.

I just ran a 1'57.670 quali.. but he must have disconnected during my run.. I hope he saw that lap before disconnect.

Not sure what to do. No close calls. Definitely a clean lap.. and I can save the replay.

I am sitting at the end of the final lap and not crossing until he gets back. That way it can be seen from total time that it is same run.

He's back. We have it sorted

 

[SG15]

All new guys gonna drive Lexus PETRONAS? jajajajaj just kidding

Thanks Litchi.. Dom got me covered. See you guys tomorrow. My wife has the day off, so I probably won't be around the rest of today (unless she takes a mid-day nap).

Thanks Nige.. I had to make the car quite loose to attain that. Hopefully I can keep it on the track for the whole race

Thanks guys 👍

Darn you Tim.. You totally screwed up Dennis and my plan to run a two car block the whole race. 🤬
