GTP_Hun vs. GTRP_Hyper race report :D

1st race was a bit troubled by a punter/noob (I'm not sure how to classify the guy) in a black Lotus, twice Hyper went out because of him in the first two laps. I waited for him and from that point on we went bumper-to-bumper until the very end. Race ended when we both were in the long back straight, Hyper got my sllipstream and passed me when the countdown was 2 seconds before zero! so ... 1-0 for Hyper


2nd race was unaffected by others, only affected by ourselves really. Hyper made a slight mistake early on so I got a lead good enough to avoid being drafted. Our difference was kept, with slight variations, until I misjudged the entrance to Casio by the end of lap 4. So, I got a penalty, Hyper got close enough and passed me. He made a flawless last lap and, with a better exit from Spoon, he got the win again. so ... 2-0 for Hyper.

I didn't know GTRP_Hyper before these races so I didn't know what to expect. Luckily for us both we wrre very evenly matched, so we had fun with two close and very fair races.

GTRP_Hyper, good job, wish you luck for next round(s) 👍

And thx for organizing this, Jack :)
 
Great thx to GTP_Hun for the fair and close racing! 👍 👍

The guy with more luck wins in this races, cause we were both very close in speed. Nice report to, there is nothing to say more! :)
 
Ok one more driver down... thats me :ouch:! Deathwalker won 2-0 i think i was a bit nervous maybe the same reason why i crack my pad in the 1st race :nervous:. He didnt make any mistake so he was better than me in that day 👍. Its all about the fun i think:) well done friend!

Congrats to my friend GTRP Hyper for the win and all the others too:)
 
GTP_Hyperspeed vs GTP_Sureshot.

We both met up first time, no trouble at all matching. Nice small grid 1st race, with no trouble with other drivers. Sureshot went off lap 1 at Spoon, and I cruised it home. :)

2nd race, I was host, just me and him, I managed to pull away quite a bit over 5 laps. He parked it at the hairpin on lap 5. And thats pretty much it. Thanks for the races Nigel. :cheers:

And thanks to Jack for such a cool combo in round 1. 👍
 
I am having problems meeting up with GTP_grim_reaper online, so i will default & give the win to him.


Good luck to all other drivers.

Well done Dan, you were way too quick for me. The RX-7 never felt at home on stock set-up, which is odd, because it wasn't that bad at London. I suspect that the problem may have been the contrast between the Evo in WRS W22 and this car.

👍
 
So, the races between me an BTH_Redwings are over.
Redwings won 2:0. He really drove me down. 👍
I did many mistakes, but Redwings was very much faster.
Very fair races.
Here are the videos (don't laugh about my poor efforts to get to the pole-position in time, it isn't easy if you start from pole :lol: ):

Driving Aids: Optional, in post 1. 👍


Just so there's absolutely no misunderstanding here: Is traction control considered to be a driving aid. It can be set in the quick tune as well.

Am I allowed within the rules to set traction control to zero instead of the default 5?
 
nice to watch smash... i like the cockpit view but i can go as faster as the bumper cam... hats off for those who use it 👍

Congrats redwings, no doubts here :cheers:
 
GTP_Cohiba100 vs GTP_Crispy74


I was host and we both got away clean. Both took it fairly easy through the first two laps with Crispy74 leading and me close behind. At the beginning of the third lap I passed and started to push a bit harder but I was unable to shake my opponent who very smoothly passed me a lap later. Same thing happened once more but the other way around, Crispy74 attacked a bit but was unable to shake me so coming into the final lap we had done four laps with no one at any time leading with more than half a second. This was also the case on the final lap and it all ended in a dragrace side by side side to the finish line and Crispy74 winning by 2/100 of a second. A very clean and smooth race.

Unfortunately this was our third race that was done just for fun. In the first two Crispy had pushed too hard and gone off on the first lap in both leaving me me free to cruise home to a 2-0 victory. It didn't really matter that there was an idiot in a Clio who tried to punt me off the track everytime I tried to overtake in the second race, Crispy had parked the car at that time.

Nice write up T, but you forgot to mention the reason I went off was I was distracted by the group of escaped tigers that were attacking the spectators and I couldn't catch you back up as I seem to have developed a misfire as well...in BOTH races!! :D:D

Seriously, you kept your cool and kept it on track, and I made a mess and threw it off...best man won! Well done and I wish you the best of luck in the rest of the RoC 👍
 
Just a quick reminder for the guys who are left to race.

Time Frame:

All races must take place no later than Tuesday, April 14th, 2009 at 11:59 pm GMT. You must send a PM to me (Jack) with your race result before that date and time.
And all races MUST be complete before the deadline.
If you are unable to make contact with the driver you are paired against, PM me (Jack) with the details, at least 48 hours prior to the event deadline.
Failure to agree a date & time (Or make contact according to the procedure above) before the deadline will result in disqualification.

ITR_Nissman vs. BTH_Lacko_M47 2-0

Congratulations Nissman you are a very good driver.

1th. race: We were 4 of us only. GTro_unitron and EL_Passant were with clio. They waited 4 us and let us overtake them after they fallowed us till 4th lap after they started to fight whit us. El_passant pushed me out before T1 and he left. They pushed Nissman as well that's why was catching up and I was behind him in front os the chicane but I couldn't owertake him.
I sent to El_passant a message: "It was our ROC race."
He replayed: "Sorry Lacko."
That's it.

2nd race. El_Passant and GTro_unitron were there again I don't know how because we started at a random time. They went ahead and Nissman and I made a hot race untill after the T1 of the 5th lap. They waited us and El_passant held us(me)again and I couldn't owertake Nissman in the T2 straight and Nissman won again.
1 minutes lates I got a message from El_passant: " heheheeee u use R2/R1"

What can I say?

Nissman is my very good friend and he was very fair always through the races. I dont mind losing a race against a better driver but were no wright circumstances because of this gay El_passant. I don't want race again because the circumstances not yet given to a propes race without other racers.
Good luck Nissman and everyone the forthcoming event.

IRT_NissmanR32 vs BTH_Lacko_M47 2:0

Close racing all the way, both races decided in the last chicane:crazy:
Traffic played a big roll in our races, it looked like they were out there to ruin ROC races.
I think I had a little more luck with traffic than Lacko and that was the deciding factor in this race.

hey guys i had some races with Racer_LP for an official GTP event and we both got problems with others so we re-race it again at least 2 times... i think the drives should agree to re-race in that situations!

anyway... 2 good drivers and 1 must go out :( ... congrats nissman and better luck next time Lacko 👍
 
Well, just had my race with Holl01. No suprises, he won 2-0. Congratulations Dan and good luck in the next rounds.

Matt.

Agreed, why not all racers agree to rerun if race spoiled by idiots. 👍
 
Sorry I made a spelling error the guy was En_Passant and his normal ID is Knilch_GTLMsquad. I know it because when I used my other ID he marked me as a friend and we told eachother our normal IDs.( I've just realised it.) We were surprised because we were on eachother's friend list. I tought we are friend so far.
 
We did have traffic,but we didn't recive any major bumps.
Races were still decided in the last chicane in both races, while there was nobody around us.
In my opinion this two races a fairly won on the track and there is no need to repeat them.
 
Yes, you won bro. I don't doubt I didn't mean to minimales your performance with my former comment. I just wanted to let everyone know how EN_Passant behavied. That's it. You know a small bump is enough against a fast driver and you were really fast. I just didn't understand his message and why waited us and did it in both races.

Matt.

Thanks, 2 nice clean races with no problems from other drivers. 1st race ended on lap 2 when Mat spun off on one of the opening corners, I subsequentally obtained a 6-8 second lead which I maintained for just under 4 laps untill the finish.

The next race i allowed Matt to lead, again Matt felt like visiting the sand and I overtook him just before T1, I made a few mistakes allowing Matt to close in again but I recovered and built a few seconds lead which I maintained for the remainder of the final race. A very enjoyable competition, looking forward to the next race:tup:
