Congrats Dan, Bad luck Matt you faced a very tough opponent.
 
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.

Man my two best friends in a race:nervous:!! Im glad i didnt see that one... i couldnt look! Well bro somebody had to win right?! but seeing you and Nissman had problems you should race them all over again, to see who would win for 0.01 of a sec lol. OMG El_passant is Knilch???:ouch: and you say there that his gay??? :lol: just kidding. His a good friend of mine. Always a good and fair driver, dont know why he did those things but im positive it wasnt on porpuse... Ill talk to him when i see him. Quite divided fellings im having about you guys racing:indiff:. Anyway wish you all the luck next time:) and congrats Nissman for the win. PS: at least one IRT is in the next round:tup:

Hi bro. You know me better than enyone else we spent lots of nights racing. I'm not a liar. Knilch was my friend as well that's why I don't understant why he did it. And what does mean his message after the second race "heheheee"
If it was not on porpuse he's an idiot because I let him know it's our ROC race after the first race. Just ask him if you see him please.
I'll try to run a good lap in our forum battle to defeat Nissman. He ran a .057 sec better time than me. :D
 
When Chris and I were racing "Knilch_GTLMsquad" waited us in 1st race too, but he wasn't unfair but guy I think Andy_Champ kicked me and Chris, but I didn't say anithithing because Chris is faster and he would beat me anyway.I think Chris can win ROC.👍


EDIT: This is great comptetition and i suggest confident comptetition for us who lose.
My bad English, did you understand me what was I trying to say?

Ok i want to clarify this misunderstanding. It seems knilch really is en_passant. He said that he didnt know what "ROC" meens. He went to make sand castles and he crashed you guys when coming in to the track again. Just a unhappy mistake Lacko. Its a shame it happened in a official race but hey:censored: happens. it happened the same with me a guy called GTP Maverick or something really blocked me and deathwalker... so we re raced but he won anyway lol. EVERYONE!! WHEN YOU SEE 2 RX7 TOGHETER GET OUT OF THE WAY!! haha it enough said:)
 
As I said before,we did have traffic in our races but in the last lap in both races we didnt have much interference from others, so I would like to point out again that this battle was won fair in the last corners of the race.
If for a momment I thought that in wasnt fair, I would do a repeat with no problem.

Thanks mate but you won and I don't want to make race again because of circumstances. I hope everyone will be more lucky with the traffic but I still don't understand Knilck message "heheheeee" after the race. Was it by accident as well? Interesting.....
I wish you good luck for the forthcoming races. 👍
 
I would be happier if you both got to the next round but... bro sometimes Knilch doesnt say things with meaning coz his even worse than i am at english LOL. Someone asked about Thanos? well his out for 2 weeks now and he says hes really bored about the updates. "THEY SUCK!!!" he said looool. 800pp please PDDDD !!!!!

Failure to agree a date & time (Or make contact according to the procedure above) before the deadline will result in disqualification.
 
GTP_Fastpipo vs. GTP_PASM

It resulted in 0-2.

Due to circumstances Fastpipo had little time to race and didnt have a warming up. First race, we lined up on the grid, Fastpipo on pole position. There were only 2 other drivers. When I released my handbrake I saw I had a better start and took the lead before entering the first corner. Fastpipo was struggeling to keep his RX-7 under control and went too wide coming out of T1. From there on I held the lead and got the first win.

Second race i was the host, with 4 other drivers. Fastpipo started from pole again but this time he had a good start. I followed him around turn one into the esses. When he went a little too wide in one of the corners, I was able to go past. I stayed ahead for the rest of the race.

Nice driving Fastpipo 👍 He promised me once he got his G25, we will have a (unofficial) rematch :)

GTP_Tzayad Versus msgt-sd

Race 1, we only had one other racer with us. Me in the 1 position, msgt in the 2. Quickly we realized that we were extremely well matched, given Jack's random pairing method. I led for nearly the entire race, until msgt passed me on the back straight, and went off on 130R. So, the first race went to me.

Race 2, it was just the two of us, so no one else to blame. Right off the bat, I see that my TCS was active. I must have forgotten to turn it off after resetting the car settings. Which meant that the first race was also hindered by the TCS. There were two memorable moments for me. First, msgt was in the lead, and I snuck passed right before T1. I must have spooked him good, as he danced on the sand for a bit, giving me some breathing room. Yet soon that didn't matter, as I completely botched Degner near the end of the race, and msgt took the win.

So, Tzayad:1 and msgt:1. Onto race 3.

We see the roster, and two [ES] in Z4's pop up with similar PSN ID's. Bad news. At least I remembered to take off my TCS. Same old deal, very close race, until we meet the traffic. I sneak through, as the rearward punter gives me maybe a dozen love-taps through the esses. It was clear that msgt did not get through as luckily, as his dot spins into the sand and grass. He parks at the start finish line, and I agree to re-run that race. Still 1:1.

After some connection troubles, we finally get our last race, the race to settle it once and for all. We were amazingly close the entire race, and it was clear that after so many close races, we were getting very comfortable driving shoulder to shoulder. A few tandem T1, a few tandem Spoon, yet so far, no tandem 130R. That is, until the last lap. I had a solid lead starting the back straight on the last lap, and msgt knew that he had to go for broke. He drafted on up to me, neck and neck. Him on the inside, me on the outside, we dove into 130R. I let off a little, planning to undershoot his line. He went off the track, but managed to keep his speed up. Still neck and neck going into Casio, and of course, his line forced me to stay on the outside, taking the slow line through Casio. We left pieces of trim, spoilers, and mirrors strewn all over Casio, as we both exit in a cloud of burnt rubber and Wankel grease. Clearly ashamed of his maneuver over the last 30 seconds, msgt parked up before the line to give me the win - but regardless of who won, it's agreed that the true victory was being able to participate in the race itself.

GTP_Tzayad: 2 msgt: 1

Winner: GTP_Tzayad


Thanks for the great racing, and I hope to maybe see a GTP in front of your name soon. Good luck with school!
 
Congrats Tzayad.👍 Bad luck msgt, it sounds like you two were very closely matched.
 
Good to hear people re-running races if they are affected by other racers.

While my race was not affected, it would be a real shame to win/lose because of punters 👍

@ GTP_Ravenmaven
i send you a friends request in PSN and GTP. I´ll be ready from 20GMT til the deadline and hope we can still manage to have our race.
Sorry for not contacting earlier, but i was very bussy to buy and try my new motorcycle, a Yamaha YZF 1000 R Thunderace :sly:

@Jack, sorry for the delay and the extra work you had because of this :guilty:
 
GTP_timeattack vs. BTH_Shark82 Winner: GTP_timeattack (2-1)

It was quite a scrap between both of us, with a lot of outside interference from punters unfortunately :ill: It was amazing to witness all of the incredible saves Shark managed, just when I thought he was surely going off into the sand. Bravo youngster :cheers: Just like with the 6-axis Final, I had to make a major come back from a loss in race 1 in order to win, or advance in this case.

The first race we decided to invalidated as I had gotten punted off at 130R on lap 2 and Shark had also gotten pushed off into the sand at Casio on the last lap. After Shark got punted I was able to catch up to him and made a pass just prior to 130R to cross the line first. I decided to call the race off as it was not in one bit legitimate or fair to win under such BS circumstances. The winner is supposed to be decided by who is the faster driver, not by who has the best luck with punters :rolleyes: :crazy:

Race 1: This race was back and forth the entire way, as we seemed to have near identical paces. I tried to draft past Shark on the last lap approaching 130R, but unfortunately for me, I was unable to get close enough to make a clean pass, so I tucked back behind him as we approached 130R. Shark ran a bit wide through 130R giving me room to go up the inside as the clock read 1-2 second remaining. When the clock hit 0 and the race ended, I didn't see my position change from 9th to 8th, so Shark took that one by literally an inch :lol:

Race 2: Another super close battle the entire way. Shark got punted off again at the chicane on lap 3, so I waited and let him assume his position. On the last lap Shark had pulled out a bit of a lead after I made a bit of a mistake going into T1. Luckily I was able to close up the gap by the time we had gotten to the hairpin. This time I made damn sure that I got a good enough run on Shark coming out of Casio, in order to pass him down the back straight approaching 130R. I had a half car on Shark as we went two wide through 130R, with myself on the outside. I defended my position perfectly through the chicane, and was able to keep ahead until the line....just BARELY keeping me in the running of this Championship :crazy: Another close call for me :dopey:

Race 3: Close racing as usual until Shark went off into the sand at T1 on lap 4. From behind, I thought he was once again going to save it somehow, but luckily for me he didn't and I was able to build up about a 3-4 second lead that I retained until the finish.

Great battle Shark :cheers: Sorry about the bad luck...the winner could have gone either way to be honest, as it was incredibly close between the two of us. Great effort my friend 👍
 
GTP_LinPark vs. GTP_Gadbury Winner: GTP_LinPark (2-1)

After all the dust had settled from the previous races, it was at last time for 2 great racers (ok, it was me and Obli) to take to the track for what many (ok, just me and Obli) believed would be the premier match-up in this first round of the ROC.

Friends, let me tell ya, it didn't disappoint. After 2 very close races earlier in the day resulted in a 1-1 tie, mitigating circumstances intervened forcing both warriors to wait until just 30 minutes before the deadline to settle this colossal battle. When the smoke had settled (thanks in large part to a Clio between us at Casio), I was fortunate enough to cross the line first.

I can't thank Obli enough for his on-track sportsmanship. If you ever get the chance to race him, I will promise you a clean, fair, and close race (I'd recommend waiting for private rooms to get the clean aspect locked down 100%). Thanks also to Jack for setting all this up, and I, for one, can't wait to see what he has in store for the next round (no N tires, no N tires, no N tires).

Good Luck to everyone in the next round!
 
Thanks for the kind words and write-up Lin.. be careful what you promise, though, I cannot promise a clean race as I've had my fair share of accidents :embarrassed:

Congrats and good luck in the next round... nice effort in making our encounter sound epic (actually, it was semi-epic - we had some good, clean races (excluding the Clios) !).

A pleasure as always Lin 👍 We should race more often instead of just chatting :)
