@ALB123 Three races were ran. You've catched the second one. 👍

Edit: I was run out of fuel in two races, but at the end, like you did.

 

[TurnLeft]

No problem dude. Was great to share some track time with you, finally I though you just left so I would be last

Yeah it was pretty funny, forgot about holding the brake at the start , and I'm so use to using the driving line that I was completely lost , curves I could have taken fast I crawled through them and the ones that should have been taken with caution well,... did you know the car behaves strangely after you hit a wall full on , and near the end I saw I was going to run out of fuel and my time went out , but there will be more events hopefully, so far my record is perfect, last on two races, but I'm getting better .

I ran out before the last check Point in the second race 
Not sure how @danbojte managed to go without a splash and dash

I'd like to say nice race but I lost sight of you so early that I have no idea where the hell you went, I'm sure you know a short cut and just don't want to share it , BTW that was an excellent first lap you did , good driving.

How many races did you guys do after I left the room? Did you do any before I got there?? I ran out of gas just as I got around the very last turn and my car straightened out. I knew I was going to run out.

One before and you missed me, too bad I had to go, hope to see you on the next event. 👍

@joaosoarescso nice race 👍, I lost sight of you too, did you run out of gas again?, where did you finish?

@danbojte thank you for putting up this event, it was fun while it lasted for me, hope you'll be doing some more 👍, great bunch off people to race with .

 

[danbojte]

@TurnLeft Thank you. We'll surely do more.

 

[joaosoarescso]

Right now i'm taking some pics of the 1st and 3rd race, i didn't saved the second race because it was bugged and only saw @danbojte ,

If i didn't pit stop on the 2nd lap, i would run out of fuel in the last sector, i tried to minimize the pit stop by putting minimal fuel to end the race like i did last time on the LFA but it backfired on me because of the extra lap, but yeah i did run out again xD

I think the pictures are going to turn out great, i'll try to find the highlights of the race

i'll post them all later

Beautiful my friend .

 

[Ridox2JZGTE]

I'm so jealous , I don't think I can join races with more than 3 drivers, I start to lag at that point Best I could do is free run/track days

 

[ALB123]

It was so weird. I didn't even know that @joaosoarescso was in the room when I was racing (the 2nd race of the day). It wasn't until I saw the text box pop up and he said that he could only see @danbojte and no one else. It's so strange, the way these online gaming servers work. I had a blast with you guys. It was so nice to finally run an actual race. Oh, I can't tell you how cool I thought I was, when I was in 1st place for all of 2.5 minutes of Lap 1. I thought I was Mario Andretti. And then RMan shifted out of 4th and disappeared like the Space Shuttle blasting into orbit. Reality is a cruel, cruel thing...

EDIT: That's a real bummer Ridox... But, I will Free Run with you anytime my friend! 👍

 

[danbojte]

@joaosoarescso Thank you for the great pics. 👍 Please, publish all of them you choose they worth (no limits), at full size, they are great and is uncomfortable to open each attached. The comments for them are also welcomed and it builds up like a race report. Great job and thanks again for this!

Thanks @joaosoarescso. Very nice work there, some lovely shots. I like the sequence with you and @danbojte having your battle. That last shot is spectacular

The online servers do all manor of strange things. I've been in rooms where I can see everyone but some of them can't see each other. Watching the two of them trying to occupy the same piece of track has some bizarre consequences and you need to be so careful trying not to get caught up in it. Still more fun than chasing rabbits though

 

[Brewguy44]

I couldn't be there , I was brewing beer. 👍 So I hope there's another one so I can do it, Sounds like everybody had alot of fun 👍

You would have loved it, I was only able to be in part of the first race then had to leave for work, remember what I said about me and drifting , well I'm even worse at on line racing , good thing there are TT's where I can tune my car to boost up my ego .

 

[Gyro1780]

I just wanted to apologize for not being able to make the race on Saturday. I had a few important things to do & i didn't get home until the evening. Sorry I really hope i can make the next event

That fully understandable , I had to quit halfway through the last lap of the first race because I had to go to work. We have to live our real lives first and then we play when we have time. There will be more occasions for sure and hopefully we'll both be able to participate 👍.

 

[joaosoarescso]

Sorry for the late pics

here are the pics of the 3rd race

I couldn't upload it earlier because the next day after the EAG race i took the Celica out for a run

It was getting late and the weather was looking really bad

A Go Pro fitted on the roof

But it started to rain badly

Had to put the high beams up

And now for the actual EAG pics

Gentelman start your engines

Awesome start

@RMan72 Overtakking

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

@danbojte was allergic to something in the PIT

@RMan72 is like... SOON

Meanwhile someone had a bad run....

 

[danbojte]

@joaosoarescso Excellent! 👍

 

[danbojte]

Next event!

 

[TurnLeft]

Next event!

How many laps? If more than 3 I won't be able to finish the first race , if 3 laps I'll be playing it to the limit of my available time .

 

[Brewguy44]

@joaosoarescso I agree with @danbojte Excellent Photo's!!! 👍 👍

 

[joaosoarescso]

Nice a 2 make race, this is a little hard for me to choose, since i was little i always liked the audi TT the first gen but i really start to like the 370Z because of the previous one the 350, theres something in that car that i can't put my finger on.

 

[danbojte]

I don't know, my friend. I didn't even built the cars yet. I had a few bad days... work and stuff. Maybe @ALB123 can answer to this.

That`s ok, hope the better days are starting right now .

 

[ALB123]

30 minutes on the Nordschleife will probably equal 4 laps. Even a conservative drive is not going to equal a 10 minute lap. So, if possible, maybe you should look at setting the race specs to 3 laps rather than 30 minutes? Although, maybe 30 minutes is better so it will make sure that stopping for the pits is mandatory. I'll have to go online and try to see how tire wear and fuel consumption goes with those cars.

I see that you said you haven't built the cars yet @danbojte. Perhaps you should reconsider and replace the 370Z Sport Package with the 370Z NISMO. Otherwise, the Nissan is not going to stand a chance against the Audi TT-RS.

Audi TT-RS:
Horsepower: 335 HP / 340 PS at 5800 RPM
Torque: 330.5 ft-lb at 2700 RPM
Weight: 1525 kg
Performance Points: 471

Nissan 370Z Sport Package:
Horsepower: 331 HP at 7200 RPM
Torque: 269.3 ft-lb at 5200 RPM
Weight: 1551 kg
Performance Points: 460

As you can see, the Nissan is 11 Performance Points lower than the Audi TT-RS. It's heavier and considerably lower in torque.

Nissan 370Z NISMO:
Horsepower: 350 HP at 7200 RPM
Torque: 277.4 ft-lb at 5500 RPM
Weight: 1515 kg
Performance Points: 469 (470 is possible with alt. engine tuning that increases torque to 285 ft-lb)

I know that we do these events more for the fun of it than the true hardcore competition. Whether we use the Sport Package or the NISMO, I'll be driving the Nissan because I really enjoy the car. I will have just as much fun whether I win or come in last place. Driving with you guys is all that matters to me. I'm not trying to step on your toes, danbojte. As the manager of this fan club community, I absolutely respect you decision on these matters. I just thought I would point out the differences...that's all. 👍

I think it's awesome that people have taken the time to publish photos from the various club events, but would it be possible, in the future, if a Legend was provided? Like, in the top post if you could just list which driver is in which colored car? Or is that not possible with replay files? I never race online, but I could have sworn I've seen some race replay videos that showed the screen names of the drivers above their cars or something like that. Obviously, I'm not asking anyone to Photoshop in drivers names. That'd be way too tedious. If it's not a lot of work, it would just be nice to know who is driving which car...

Another alternative is to have everyone apply a car # to their vehicles. That way, over time we'd all remember that ALB123 is #3 and danbojte is #5, or whatever...

If we decide to apply racecar numbers to our cars in future events, I reserve #3...

 

[Ridox2JZGTE]

Nice to see more interest here For the next event, maybe a practice session would help to decide which car is best

 

[danbojte]

@ALB123 Thank you for your help. Any good idea will be considered.
I just tested the two cars. In my hands, the Nissan is 1 second slower per lap than the Audi. Both have their pros and cons. We can leave them the way they are, to keep the replica untouched, or we can add Intake Tuning for the Nissan, to equalise them. I'm open to either.

Also, keep in mind that at the Nordschleife a lot of things can (and will ) happen.

About the racing numbers, I'll reserve number 7.
The '57 Chevrolet doesn't accept racing numbers because it's a Standard.

@RMan72 Great pics and thanks for them. 👍

 

[danbojte]

I forgot: And yes, it's a good idea with the names.
I lack in spare time.

And we can use the Nismo if it gives us better fights. If anyone have time for further testing, I'm open for changes.

The base 370Z can use the weight from NISMO at 1515kg but keep 56/44 distribution. I may suggest to add R32 and R33 GTR into the car choices and give these 2 freedom to choose which LSD to use from the replica post They are pretty close to the Audi and 370Z. Just remembered the Tom's ADVOX Supra RZ on CS would do well too

Nice pics and I love the comments, nice of you to not say that I couldn't find the gas pedal at the start , and yes I did take some air, and some gravel, and some grass, and more gravel, and part of a wall,do you think that they're going to make me pay for the damages? BTW nice finish photo 👍.
