  • Last position in the group is eliminated.
  • 10 lap race.
  • Number of Races: 1 Race

  • All races will start from the grid slots 1, 2 & 3 on the start / finish line.
  • You will start in the positions listed on the screen. First driver listed in the thread starts 1st, 2nd - 2nd, 3rd - 3rd.
  • I have had to make the pairings for the round this way due to an odd number of racers.
  • Any interference by non participants (drivers taking part in the public race) during the race will sometimes be unavoidable and should therefore be considered as an unavoidable part of the game.

  • The leading driver must demonstrate their intention of entering the pit lane by moving to the right side of the track after the chicane.

  • Cars on the race track have right-of-way over cars entering the race track from the pits. You have to take care not to interfere with other drivers on the track. Swerving in front of upcoming cars to defend your position is not allowed.

Moving off the track:
  • When the race begins, it is important that you move off the racing line in a manner that doesn't interfere with those who are competing in the public race.
  • If you are placed on the left side of the grid, you must move off the track and onto the grass. If you are placed on the right side, you must pull over to the pitwall, positioned out the way.
  • This must be done while being careful not to impeded other drivers on track. Please practice steering off the racing line, to be sure you are comfortable with it prior to your actual race.

The race will start from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd grid slots.

If both drivers fail to reach their designated grid positions before the 20 second start time, then the start time will begin at 25 seconds after the start of the public race.

jack R3/R3 on the setup please!?!?!

Ive choosen R2 / R2 because its alot harder to drive with it on this. At this stage of the competition your meant to be the top drivers, so you dont need to easy :P

R3 / R3, the rear of the car is very planted, and lift-off oversteer is increased alot. R2 / R2 allows the rear of the car to move a little more, lift-off oversteer is reduced and overall I think its nicer to drive and more challenging.

Test it out, before posting. Youll be suprised at how much nicer R2's are. Im staying with these tyres ;)
 
Well, 3 way race has it's advantages ;)

This will be an awesome challenge, Great stuff Jack 👍
 
well ok.. i didnt test it though but i was talking because my experiences on GTLM.. and if GTLM is hard on R3 imagine GT on R2 :lol:

ok.. good challenge lets do it 👍
 
Excellent choice on the track and great choice on the car Jack! You guys are gonna have some fun - you sure there wasn't a typo on the tires Jack? I think you meant N2's. :lol:
 
Really great choise, Jack 👍
The car is just awesome to drive. Just did my first race with it, best lap was 1'59.646. But I'm sure MAY or Madforce are gonne be doing 58's soon :ouch:

Edit: make that 1'59.373 in my 2nd race :). Most laps are in the 2'00's though

GTRP_RudiRaser versus GTP_PASM
Winner: GTRP_RudiRaser

Edit: added race report
After an unsuccesfull try we finally matched for the race. I was to start from pole, Rudi close in second. Rudi made a good start, but backed down for the first corner. I lead the lap and on the start of lap 2 he passed me. I passed him again in lap 3. At the end of lap 3 we were catching a Clio, so I decided to pit. But that plan backfired. I wasn't thinking clearly and I understeered into the pit wall. It took me a few seconds to get going again and Rudi had about a 10 second lead. I tried to fight back, not ready to give up yet. I was putting in great times, I think I managed 3 1'59.1xx's. By lap 10 I there were still 3 seconds between us, but Rudi cruised to a steady win. Well done mate 👍

I have to say that it's hard to go out this way, but I've been lucky enough to have come this far. We're all champions really 👍 Thanks for the great races.

GTP_TIZZLA Vs GTP_Racer_LP Vs GTRP_Madforce

After a couple of failed races we managed to get a small grid of 6 with me hosting

I opened a healthy gap on the opening half lap with madforce and Racer_LP tussling for position, Racer_LP went off at some point and left Madforce to hunt me down.

I carried too much speed on the right hander on the lead up to spoon, car stepped out and i went into the sand. Madforce passed me but Racer_LP was still a fair way behind. I pitted and came out in front of Racer_LP,Madforce pitted on lap 3 i think, and had a big moment at denger which allowed us to catch up. We were racing nose to tail but Racer_LP had still not pitted

After Racer_LP pitted it was just me and Madforce running nose to tail, But i went wide exiting Turn 1 and for the next 4 or 5 laps it was pure time trial :lol: Madforce opened up the gap between me and him and Racer_LP Did not look like a threat

I started getting too relaxed and had a few very slow laps. Racer_LP was catching me and i knew all i had to do was keep it on the track.

Final lap, I went well wide at the hairpin, spoon AND the final chicane. Official gap at the end was 0.9XX to Racer_LP.

Happy with the result but i will need to handle the pressure better if im going to have a chance in the next round 👍
 
PureGT_MAY vs GTP_Chris
winner: me

1st race.... close race until 1st pit stop as usually :P .. Chris was leading and pitted 3rd lap(i think).. 4th lap i pitted and came in front of him..... ... ... then i thought.. bad strategy by me because due the situation that wasnt enough to try to brake the slipstream.. anyway.. i lost control at degner and he passed me... and he lost it on the long right afer the hairpin. i passed him and thought the race was mine but after 10 seconds pufff.. both disconected.. :ouch:

2nd race... i was planning now to make my pit on the last laps but... i got a penalty on the chicane and he went away... ouch: :ouch: 🤬 it.. i was pissed off and pulled lows 1'58 .. i got also surprised because Chris didnt pitted on the next laps (because he could have done it and in front of me.. and i still needed to pit).. so i decided to pit 1st.. i was gaining on him.. then he pitted and we were together again with him in the front anyway but closer..

lap9 i tried to reach him on the straight before 130R but he was able to put the power on the ground really earlier i think, cause i had no speed at the end of the straight... on the main straight the same.. i was :dunce: and i thought thats gonna hurt now.. i got a bit closer all the lap and was closer of him on the straight before 130R... even with that, was hard to pass him approaching the corner we were side by side with me on the interior part.. i make it through and that was it.. i won :) was pretty hard with a penalty on the bag though :guilty:

thanks for the race Chris.. good stuff 👍

Congrats to all that make through this round :cheers:
