We had the option to chose the BMW and we chose it. Nothing wrong there.

Yes. I have a problem with you guys appearing for one race day - just one - and then parading around like you own the place.


You guys can do that with ToCA, if you want. You have your own touring car series, stop bothering our guys with rubbing idiotic crap in our faces like "we showed up to one race and beat you so HAAAAAAAAA! We're the greatest because we got a 1-2-3!"


When Citroën got the 1-2, we could very well have gotten a 1-2-3 if we had a third driver.

But, you guys came about, insisting on me making an exception to allow you guys to drive an OP car so that you could get that 1-2-3... And then you still carry on like children.



Is this my fault? Take it out of my thread. The season's over, and you ToCA guys finished all pretty low... Spurgy - who is still welcome here - is not a ToCA guy.

We haven't done any of that. Don't make rubbish up. And Spurgy is actually our official test driver. You put an OP car in, allowed it in, and complained when people beat you. I'm still waiting for the post showing where I actually wrote such alleged messages.

Didn't take long...

Saying a 1-2-3 is great is not going "HAHAHAHAHA AM BETTER THAN YOU" though I can see from your thread title you are just as difficult and unreasonable to talk to as usual.

Also is making false accusations really a clever thing (and throwing some toys out the pram whilst at it)?

Whatever, nice job @Spurgy 777 despite missing half the events you did a good job. 👍

Heh, sorry about the whole tires ordeal; normally I don't need to check and make sure that everyone's on the right compound, but since it rained, I should've. Sorry!!


I hope we can both learn from this.

Kinda my fault for not paying enough attention.

It's a learning experience. Your pace today was good, for someone who had never even driven an ITCC car until today. The tuning setups catch a lot of ITCC rookies off-guard.


If you watch in Race 1, my car is very, very loose... It goes to show how psychotic some of our tuning setups actually are... And I know @Ettick and I are sharing a setup, so his car is also that loose.

I switched to a "wet setup" in race 1. :dopey:

Despite your squabbles, you and Furi do have a lot in common. :)

Birth month, birth year, hosting touring car series, Autism etc.


I'm fully aware. One could say we share too much in common; we're essentially those two twins you always see fighting over stupid things because we're too competitive against each other. Anyways, though, this is not what we're here to discuss.

You requested me to put you up. Maturity and respect come with being the guy who doesn't consider it fair to post points for one-offs and then say "look, everyone, they're last" except as a joke, since you guys have come into my series to boss me around...



In other words, I was being a nice guy, by "hiding" your results to hide your poor results, but since you requested it... "Careful what you wish for?"



Edit: Also, you guys all didn't show up on "Summarized Points sheet," so I didn't even notice.

If you start, you make the points, it's just common series owner etiquette.

Final standings:

- @Furinkazen - 25 (HA, LAST!)
- @gokartman - 18 (HA, ALSO LAST!)

I don't quite get why those bits were necessary. I raced with you for a fair bit of ITCC 3, was here for the pre-season for a few rounds of this and ITCC 4, and stopped racing because of time constraints. That weekend was the 1st time in a few months that I had Saturday evening free and it was the 1st time GT6 had been on in 5 weeks. I keep track of threads and saw it was your 100th race so thought it would be quite nice to be involved with it. That's why so many people turned up, not because the BMW was OP at one track. My BMW had the same setup it had on it a nurb 4 months ago (I picked it at the start of the season, not just for SuzE).

We've had disagreements but I've had disagreements with most of the people I race against. Difference of opinion shouldn't be unexpected on a forum. Don't take it personally, and don't hold grudges. From what I've just read it seems you are doing both very well.

You have got a bit of an issue if you can't tell the difference between people showing up for a milestone race and people showing up at one track because one car is OP there. If you want to think that the world is against you and people turn up in cars that are OP to spite you and your series go ahead, that kind of mindset works wonders in the real words 👍
 
As an outsider looking in there's a bit of a bitterness feel going on, at least that's how it comes across.:indiff:

Adding to this. I had no idea of what performance the BMW had and I only chose it because Spurgy was driving it and I was planing to be his teammate. I probably would have turned up to more rounds if it weren't for commitments to other series during the past 3 Saturday evenings.

I know Spurgy is fast and to be honest he could probably win a race in most, if not all the cars in this series. Only did I knew the BMW was fast was when people were planning to add loads of ballast to it without proper testing. Just a guess.


Deliberately ignoring a driver and not putting him on the standings because you have a problem with him isn't the sort of behaviour I'd expect from a series organizer.
