Yes it can sorry about this mate. I just went and looked at all my saved replays on my 16mb memo card and i couldnt find my 787b 10 lap midfield race, i am terribly sorry for this becuz i was sure that i saved that replay atmyself.

Just recently visited a japanese GT3 site and saw that they had a couple of very good 787B times at Midfield -

Don't ask me to type thier names, one guy ran a best of 54.758 and the next best was 55.009.

Fast buggers

Hey Rypien,
Are you gonna do some more fun days with the roatries at other tracks... say the R11 (I don't know why but that is one of my favorite tracks). Or maybe Trial Mountain.

I forgot to put up my times in the RX-7 LM, when I get home tonight I'll check my records and pm them to you. I'm also gonna run a few more laps with the 787b. I need to tweak the car a bit, ie. I was still running a fairly hard tire. This was a great idea, I hope you plan to do some more tracks (any excuse to run GT, know wut I mean).

 

[Rypien]

Look forward to seeing your times in the RX7 (most of us were using T8 tyres).

I'll probably run another rotary open day at a different track in the future (but definatley not S11 ...... i HATE that track ).

Trial Mountain or Gran Valley prabably ....... i'll have a think about it

 

[barryf1fan]

Everyone I know hates that track, something about it I like. I especially like running it backwards. I dunno, guess I'm just strange:upsdown:. I've turned some nasty laps on R11 II in the 787b (for me anyway, I'm kinda slow compared to most people on here, but I have fun running the cars )

I hope you don't do Grand Valley, except maybe backwards, I don't much care for that track me-self. I'll run it though if you pick that one, I just have a good time running lap after lap :burnout:. That's the most fun to me, trying to shave a tenth here and a tenth there. Until you finally put together THE lap. You know what I'm saying, that's why your doing this in the first place, right?

At last a faster time!!! When I've finished the numerous competitions I'm in and I've got my new wheel may have to back the old girl out for a few more runs

 

[Rypien]

On NO ..... GVX returns to Midfiled

If anyone knows of any other fast times with Rotaries at midfield then i'd love to hear about them. I know Weise did some flyers in the 787B, and i'm sure some other GT freaks have spun the rotas here as well. I would not put there times in the 'official' leaderboard, but it would be interesting to see.

 

[barryf1fan]

I got a new fast time (for me) in my RX-7 LM 932 hp. 1'00.620". i tried like crazy to get in to the 59.xxx", but the more I worked on the car the looser I made it. Should have left it alone and just worked the "line".

Couldn't get a faster time in the 787b, but had fun running it!! That car is 😈 on wheels. What a machine.

 

[Rypien]

Good to see you enjoying the rotaries

 

[MazKid]

I'll start an all-mazda race at Laguna Seca....it's very fitting, it being the Mazda Speedway and all. And it's easy to get to in the game. Do you want me to?

 

[Rypien]

Laguna Seca Corkscrew *shudders*

 

[barryf1fan]

I'll do some laps in the "rotas" at Laguna Seca. You probably ought to start a new thread though, more people would catch it that way

I'll for the thread and get some times this weekend if I happen to see it.

Are you gonna do one though Rypien? If you do Trial Mount. or Grand Valley I would rather do those instead.

 

[Rypien]

I've got no immediate plans for another 'rotary' day any time soon.

 

[MazKid]

I'll do it if enough people want to.

My favorite racing move of all time (next to JPM taking off Schumy in Brazil AND France) was Zanardi putting the nasty on Bryan Herta. That pass was so good I almost felt bad for Herta

You know Zanardi went and told Herta that he was just posterized.

i reckon this thread is ready for a revamp after the mrs final race , i have an idea that the 787b will have some people in the mood for this , you never know i may even update my best time in the arcade version not until after qualifying though , if at all possible this car is the bee's knee's

 

[Rypien]

Sure dug this one up from the deep.

I've been playing with my fully modified RX7LM at a few different tracks (trying to get a list of times that i can submit at Racing Lines so that the dominance of the supras can be ended). I'll be hopeing to get some runs in at midfield with my new set up soon.

BTW mrP - just got an e-mail from Tosk regarding getting my time included into the Torc race 3. Looks good.

 

[Mr P]

nice one ! putting effort into race 3 to not get rewarded would have been a nasty blow , but its all good in the end

btw i am stuck in the catch 22 predicament here , i can race that crappy astra at rome or the 787b at midfield hmmm what should i do ? ojk you know the 787 is getting thrown around midfield i'll put the astra off until tomorrow
i'll pm my updates to you

btw did you install msn ? i sent a link to you , laters

Hey Rypien I have beaten my time with the 787b for this comp when I was doing some laps in the 787b for the MRS final race I'm at a 1'00.5 now!

 

[Rypien]

PM'd my Torc race 4 Astra results mrP. Have not got around to downloading the MSN as yet (too lazy ).

ZeroCool85, i'll update the results list.

Probably my favorite car in the game would have to be the RX7LM (black or grey) and i can feel a new PB comming on

 

[Talentless]

speaking of the 747 er 787 http://www.poweraxel.com/mazdaspeed/trail/racecar.html

 

[Kelly]

Right, now i've finished qualifying for the MRS series , here's another time for you to add Rypien

Arcade 787B 1.00.089 so close to the 59 secs , i just couldn't shave off them last 1000ths

 

[Rypien]

Talentless ..... already got that great link bookmarked

lotus350 ..... go for that sub minute!

 

[Zero]

1'00.547 thats my time wanted to keep its crappiest a secret but I couldnt improve my hat goes off to Mr p and Lotus for their spectacular laps

 

[Talentless]

Be interesting to run race 2... Rotaries at another track of your choice.

[Talentless]

i tried a mazda 787 at monaco, hard to handle.

 

[Talentless]

i must now insist that it be monaco

 

[Fogelhund]

Hey, not Monaco, remember I'm the poor sod with GT2...

What about Laguna, or Apricot Hill?
