Oh boy , this one is going to be something. PD have included almost every type of curves in this track, plus hills, a loop and some diabolic hairpins. I rarely if ever use this track because there are just too many technical things going on to try to keep equal lap times, but it should make for some fun race, so I'm off to buy the RX7 and see what I can do here, I'll post my results when I get some. I didn't check yet what the tire options will be for this race so I'll go READ the fine print properly this time too make sure I understood everything like starting procedures .

One thing that I did notice is that you put @RMan72 second on the starting grid, que passa? We want to slow him down not give him a 👍 to victory,

He will spun out.

 

[TurnLeft]

He will spun out.

Yeah there's a good chance that willhappen but even though he wipes out he has that uncanny ability to make it up by driving like in fast and furious and then catch up to me .

I've just got news from my doctor, I may be absent saturday, I'm waiting for a call from the hospital to have some tests done, there's no date so when they call I have to go and will be there for a day or two, or maybe more. So if I'm absent that will be the cause, I won't have time to write to you.

I wish you good health, my friend. 👍

I hope it nothing to serious, I'll keep you in my prayers my friend.

Will try to post Z8, CTS-V, Huayra and 8C this week The NISMO GTR has been posted, the NISMO GTR + Z8 + Huayra and 8C are fun to race ( tried them on arcade race at Bathurst and Big Willow )

Sounds like a nice bunch. I'm looking forward to the 8C. It's a special car, the looks and the noise tickle all the right spots for me

It's one of my favourite tracks after La Sierra

I'm down to 4th in the championship, need all the help I can to close the gap back to @danbojte @OdeFinn and you (@TurnLeft)

, that not really what I wanted to hear , I have a lot of trouble remembering things like land marks to use as brake points, and this one has got a few, not like the Nurb or Sierra ( which I suck at ) but still quite a few.

I just did a few reconnaissance laps and I got 3:03.115 in OFF Line mode, can you tell me about where you are so I can see the size of the mountain I still have to climb .

You and me both know that it's only because you've missed 2 races that I'm ahead of you, none the less "", that felt good .

I wish you good health, my friend. 👍

Thanks Dan, and I wish it to all off you, it's what we have most precious .

I hope it nothing to serious, I'll keep you in my prayers my friend.

Thanks Tom, I've been missing you around here, I hope you are enjoying your l-o-n-g summer vacation 👍, school starts pretty soon. Think you can make it saturday?

 

[ALB123]

@TurnLeft Hey buddy...I hope everything is okay, health-wise. 👍

Had a quick run out this morning was running 2:56.xxx quite consistently

 

[RMan72]

Had a little run with @Thorin Cain and went a little quicker, car has a fair amount of understeer that can quickly snap to over steer. It's great fun finding the balance between the two

 

[Thorin Cain]

Well, that's the car built and had an exploratory test run. @RMan72 popped in to make sure I knew how far off the pace I was That was some lap buddy, nice going 👍 (You get the GTP equivalent of a prostate exam for that one ) Looks like I've got a lot of work to do I thought I was doing OK when you had a 2:58.1xx on the board, I was running more or less bang on that pace according to the split-times but kept making silly mistakes in the second half of the lap. I eventually got down to a 2:58.458 then had a little play around with the BB and dropped down to 2:57.018

Unfortunately by that time the fastest lap had been smashed Looks like R2D2 found his thrusters I'm not divulging the laptime for 2 reasons. 1: It's not my place, but man it's quick and 2: I don't want to depress anyone too much....but it's a few seconds quicker than mine anyway You're going to be tough to beat with times like that dude

Here's my car for this weekend

The best I got so far was 2:59.500 , , maybe we`ll be lucky and it will rain , ... ah well you can`t win them all . Wonder how @danbojte and @OdeFinn are doing, if they are going as fast as Mr. Robot I might have to try some new strategy.

I'm sure you'll do fine 👍 I was struggling to break the 3 minute mark for a while and I've been around this track quite a few times previously, albeit with some stickier rubber underneath me and cars fine tuned to my kamikaze driving style

It wasn't until I'd ran about 8-10 laps and tweaked the BB a few times that R2D2'S 2:56 looked almost achievable for us mere mortals Another few practice laps and you'll be giving me something to worry about again

Back to that alternative strategy of your's. Perhaps you could have some of your pit crew infiltrate the competition

Not sure I'll get there, as an alternate solution I was thinking that maybe we could make this a "Death Race 2000" type race , bonus points for knocking someone off the road , you'd feel right at home with your kamikaze driving style and R2D2 would be a natural, you've seen how he passes people , as for me ... ... hockey season starting soon, got to get in shape.

Well in that case I'm going to pay a visit to Q branch and see if I can't get some new "toys"

I have tried two laps, first went above 3, second uder. Weird track for me, rarely driven there.

 

[danbojte]

@TurnLeft @Thorin Cain A lot of fun with you my friends. 👍

I didn't practice enough yet (but don't count on that; I will ) and the most annoying thing to me is that I feel I didn't find the right BB. Anyway, I can do the 2:58.xxx as far as I remember.

Something tells me you'll do more than fine my friend I know what you mean about the BB, I tried three different settings and wasn't sold on any of them

I think we're all going to need to get some more good practice in...no not you @RMan72! You've had enough

Sorry guys doesn't look like I'm going to be able to make it tomorrow, kitchen refurbishment is taking longer than expected

Or

Han and Chewie are having issues with the hyperdrive and we're still stuck on Hoth

Had a quick run out this morning was running 2:56.xxx quite consistently

just had quick testdrive and that is average lap speed thru stint. Probably merciless lap and cutting something under 56, but will see does race make me try that. (Tried, few seconds on reserve.. 2:53.930)
@Ridox2JZGTE car is just brilliant, it stays on track until there is no fuel left.

@OdeFinn

Don't worry, went to double check is everything by the book, there was error on power parts, I was running wrong power, had misplaced one parts, car had isometric exhaust manifold instead sports catalytic converter, difference was 349hp/40.9kgfm instead of actual tune power 352hp/40.1kgfm.. Tomorrow will see was torque or horsepower making speed.
I had to buy that catalytic converter, don't really know how this kind of tune mix can happen..
