RIDOX Replica Garage Fan Club - Suspended

[Thorin Cain]

Well I'm going to be far behind on this one, 10 laps on line with the setting rules, 2 clean laps, best was 2:38.8xx , I was using the Subaru of course , unless you all start crashing every where I'm going to be doing this race solo .... think I'll bring a passenger to make things more enjoyable .

Now how did I know you'd be going for the Subaru As...

Don't worry TL, a lot of things can happen on that circuit, and they will.

Never has a truer word been spoken 👍 Remember it's a marathon not a sprint, consistency over the distance means more than the ability to put in a quick lap or two. We know which one of us is more consistent my friend Anyway, now I've got a lovely new Red and Black RALLIART EVO X to play with

Thanks @Ridox2JZGTE I'm liking this a lot, I'll be stopping by the garage for the other specs later 👍 It doesn't feel as smooth as the Impreza but handles the twisty bits just as well, if not better. I've only ran 3 laps so far and it's already in the low 2:35s (twice ) a bit more practice with it and it'll be giving the others a good fight Whether it's enough for me to give the guys a good fight remains to be seen

Club Events post updated.

Gentlemen, start your engines!

Nice work on the update And I don't think I've said yet, but the weekly update of RL motorsports events is just an awesome idea 👍 You do a great job organising this club and these events

P.S I've been having a bit too much fun driving in my limited time between work and sleep this week So i'll get Race reports 2 and 3 of last weekend's DK event up tomorrow on my day off 👍

@Thorin Cain Thank you, ...for all. 👍

I know I said it before, but it is true and I will keep repeating it.

I wasn't worried as much as disappointed, couldn't get the feel of the car and I was totally inconsistent, I did a final 3 run lap offline before turning in and got 2:33.282 👍 , wish I would have had more practice time available but there are weeks like this (EAG). As for the race my strategy will be the same as the last one, keep calm, run your own race, run your own pace and see what happens, I did end up battling for first at the end by some kind of miracle . Half way through June I should be off on a few saturdays and should be able to run on all 3 races 👍.

Yup, agree totally, but I seem to be better at sprints (TT's) than marathons,.. for now .

👍👍👍, beautiful layout and organisation by our friend @danbojte , I've had so much fun with this that it's taken my time from tuning away .

Nicely done 👍 Did you find the hidden passage too?

 

[danbojte]

I've only ran 3 laps so far and it's already in the low 2:25s

You mean 2:35, I suppose...

 

[Thorin Cain]

You mean 2:35, I suppose...

No, I found the secret passageway. It's an old underground Goldmine that cuts.... na I'm not telling you

Yeah, oops Fixed now

Yup , but the passage way doesn't open on every lap , I guess it opens up when it wants to .

You mean 2:35, I suppose...

(Thanks for spotting that one Dan )

This is very bad.

Looks fun, this time had to prepare bit better than last time 20 min to lobby open started "what car, buy car, where's tune, which of these, where's lobby, will I get there in time"
Now at least I have read some instructions, should I put some number on car? Should I request some of those cars on post for me, as I see there is three of them already taken, I'm ok with any of those, I'll trust makers word (@Ridox2JZGTE) at those are on same line.
If @danbojte wants to assign some of those to me it's fine, just tell me too which?

Tomorrow trying to shop all those and maybe test few laps on each.

Are rims free of choice, or mandatory from tune?

I'm glad to have you. 👍

You can choose any of the five listed for the first race. For each next races, you must use a different car.
Yes, a racing number with the Gran Turismo logo is mandatory. You can even reserve a racing number only for you to use in every Club Event.



Edit: The rims and colors are free.

 

[OdeFinn]

Okey, then 81 is reserved to me

 

[joaosoarescso]

after alot of thinking can i reserve my number? 21

Spotlights on our friend @ALB123 . Congrats!

Ohh the MoTec i2 data analysis, i used this when it first was announced to be work with GT6 data, but it was really confusing to use for me, now i know why @ALB123 is so fast, and maybe he could give me a few hints on how things work

 

[danbojte]

I've upgraded my Internet subscription to 1Gbps/200Mbps on optical fiber, which is good news.
I'd like to make a test in the Practice Event today around 15:30 UTC to be sure that the room will work for tomorrow's event and please those of you are available, join in the room I will create. Thank you.

@Brewguy44

The Grid: 1- Brewguy, 2-joaosoarescso, 3-OdeFinn, 4-Thorin Cain, 5-danbojte.

And they're off, well 4 of them are, Brewguy seemed to fall back asleep for a moment as the lights went out and both Odefinn and danbojte have to take action to avoid running into his rear. Meanwhile joaosoarescso gets a great start and uses the advantage of being the only car to start on the Medium compound tyre. He leads Odefinn, Thorin and danbojte through the S Curves as Brewguy get's it a bit wrong coming out of Turn 1.

danbojte is caught off-guard as Thorin has a little wiggle on entry to Dunlop. Dan spins out...

...and Brewguy is close enough to capitalise, sending danbojte to the back of the field.
Danbojte gets it back together and closes in on Brewguy over the next lap as joaosoarescso extends his lead before a small incident at 130R which allows Odefinn to close the gap.

Danbojte makes the pass on Brewguy heading back into Dunlop on lap 2.
The order then remains the same 1-Joaosoarescso, 2-OdeFinn, 3-Thorin, 4-danbojte, 5-Brewguy until the end of lap 4 when joaosoaresco pits, losing 3 places before re-joining the track. danbojte pits 1 lap later and OdeFinn the lap after. Leaving Thorin in the lead from joaosoarescso.

joaosoarescso's battered NSX-R on fresh tyres passes Thorin who has still to pit, in the S Curves on lap 7 to retake the lead of the race. At the end of lap 7 Thorin makes his pit-stop and Odefinn and danbojte go through into 2nd and 3rd respectively.

OdeFinn slowly reels in joaosoarescso over the next few laps with some great driving and on lap 10, gets great drive out of spoon to close right up and put pressure on joaosoarescso heading along the back straight, through 130R and into the Casino Triangle.

Joaosoarescso, struggling a bit with tyre degradation, looses the rear coming out of the Casino Triangle and Odefinn makes the Race Winning Overtake. Over the next two laps danbojte closes the gap to joasoarescso and get's through to 2nd place unchallenged in the S Curves as Joaosoarescso's tyres look like they have nothing left to give.The rest as they say, is history.

Race Results

Winner - OdeFinn
2nd - danbojte
3rd - joasoarescso
4th - Thorin Cain
5th - Brewguy

Fastest Lap - 2:20.057 - Joaosoarescso.
