You can race since @Downhill Dino isn't.

Need to built a setup fast.

Tuning forum?

 

[Ninners]

Tuning forum?

Those setups are sometimes from old updates so don't work. I'll put together a setup quick and see if it's ok.

 

[RyanRacer]

Darn, woke up a bit late. I may miss Q.

30min till Q

 

[GTracer98]

Q in 15, hurry up, guys!

 

[GTracer98]

Q is green! 30 minutes until race.

 

[Ninners]

Great result considering I had zero practice or even a setup before I entered the lobby.

 

[Nick Flynn]

Hey, just wanted to post here and say that I'm not a d-bag, and I understand why you kicked me, but I wanted to explain....

I just saw that there were open slots right around when qualifying opened - I quickly threw some parts on the car, and joined the room with zero practice time. Turns out I guess I rely on the old driving line too much at Ascari, and the combo of unfamiliar car, no practice, and not knowing the track very well led to some embarrassing offs....anyway, I certainly understand why you kicked me, but I will be back next week, hopefully in a lot better shape, and I rather you didn't instantly kick me.

[Ninners]

Didn't feel comfortable during the race, especially on the brakes.

 

[GTracer98]

Nick, simply join GPL by filling the form in the OP, then you will be gladly accepted!

Guys, we can't do races on rain, the physics are all wrong. When I set the fastest time of 1:15, it was around 8% wet. I could feel the car had loads more grip than on the dry. After 22% it was finally wet enough for the car to lose grip, not gain it.

That... was a joke... 👎

In what sense? Are you talking about when the rain started?

 

[Bo]

Me.

 

[GTracer98]

Me.

Only because of the rain, you were very quick in the dry.

 

[Ninners]

Me.

Don't be so downbeat, you did a good job in the opening half of the race. It's shame to see you fall away towards the end but we all have those days, don't be so downbeat.

 

[Bo]

Rain is where I perform best...

 

[GTracer98]

Just to confirm, did you guys feel the grip increase too when the surface water started raising?

Yes, I gained about 4 seconds a lap.

 

[rcb929]

Agreed I though you would win but sadly the heavens opened up. Ah well on to the next one. HONDA 1,2 Good job @Ninners

 

[Ninners]

Rain is where I perform best...

You can't always judge that because it depends on who you race. I spent the last few laps taking it easy with no risks after being so inconsistent earlier in the race.

I got slower in the wet... didn't go faster

Honda 1-2

A great race considering the complete lack of mileage I have compared to you guys.

Also some trivia: this was my 30th GTP pole position.

This was my 20th GTP start.

 

[PatrisS136]

Just to confirm, did you guys feel the grip increase too when the surface water started raising?

Yes , up to 3 sec per lap

Many thanks, @PatrisS136!

I'm gonna decide on dates for the non-championship rounds. Also, I think Zahara should take place of Indianapolis, it's more fun, don't you think?
