Good practice session tonight. Learnt alot about the cars and tracks. Just a pity we couldn't have hung about to practice the 'ring. I'll be going into that race blind now and will probs screw up big time!

Anyway, can tell that the Tokyo track is my downfall, keep understeering into the walls and ending up damaged/well behind :crazy:, if I get time I'll be doing a bit more practice on that track as currently I'm about a second or 2 down it seems!

Should be fun tomorrow!

We can hang out the back with flat tires and busted axles together then :lol:

That's why Tokyo Route 246 and any FFB wheel = win. You can feel the car understeer and you can do something about it. But seriously, why was most of the people who joined the practice session today so rubbish! I don't understand! Don't get me started on Andy's performance today 👎 .
 
:lol:, your driving wasn't exactly brilliant. Numerous times you turned into me, tip for tomorrow when I'm overtaking you, don't turn into me, if I'm up your inside don't just think you can bully me out of the way, you've lost position give it up.

Even on the straight on Spa after Eau Rouge, we were side by side and you just vered over and I had to go on the grass to avoid contact?

So don't go on about people being rubbish when your not so good yourself. And they aren't rubbish as you call it.

LOL :crazy: !! Remember on Tokyo when you took the wrong line and I crashed into you? And don't worry I will "fix" my driving for tomorrow ;) .
 
Yes, but whether I'm on the wrong line or not, its still your duty as the driver behind not to crash into me.

Thats what practicing is about though ;)

*that awkward moment when the guy that crashes into you wins the argument*

:guilty:
 
LOL this is hilarious guys.

From what I witnessed Mster you need to make sure you don't lock up your brakes and hit people in the corners, now I know you said you were powersliding but we aren't drifting here mate.

You're getting a little too bold mate. Ease up.
 
How many people actually turned out for the practice?

I'm just wondering if anyone will still end up late due to the time zones :scared:

Well for the very short practice session yesterday, about 4 people including me showed up. But I think more than 4 people attended previous practice sessions.

I'm hoping that for the first time in like forever that everyone will actually attend the mini-championship. Unfortunately I don't see it happening. Fingers crossed we get at most 1-2 people not attend. After all the more people that attend the more battles you can find yourself in 👍

Im not entirely sure if I would like to be in any battles to be honest. That's how crashes and war happen :lol: .

True, but I can hot lap on my own.:lol: I don't join thinking I'll be 🤬 if I don't win. I join thinking I'll be 🤬 if I don't get a couple of good battles. This is the reason I love Jawehawks events, I ALWAYS get a good couple of races 👍

*parks up for a lap and pauses in the middle of the road, then un-pauses as you come past*

:lol: Hope I get to have a battle with you now, I'm alright on Spa with the MX5 but Tokyo and Nurburgring I'm shockingly bad :dopey:

Edit: Roadster/MX5 I can't tell the difference :lol:

Later on I won't get into any battles as they are bad for your health and they will slow you down from crossing the finish line in 1st place 👍 .

And the Mazda Roadster and the Mazda MX-5 are the same vehicle, but sold under different names in different countries. Like the Nissan March G# is sold in Japan, and the Nissan Micra is sold everywhere else.
 
Just arrived home last night from Norway. What a nice country, PD should consider making a racetrack based on the roads that run around the fjords. Beautiful sightings and nice corners with a lot of elevation differences. I can't join tonight, so i wish everyone good luck and may the best man win. Perhaps this championship will have a sudden death final like last championship. See you next week!

Maybe it will but I highly doubt I'll be in it this time 👎
 
I dont think i can do tonight. Fridays are a bit hard for me to find time, plus the event is quite long which makes it even harder lol.

I might get 1 race in tho if thats allowed?

I'll allow it.
I'm going to open up a room in a few minutes, if anyone is interested in some more practise.

I would like to join

psn id: GTP_Aguilar

is there someone i should add?

You aren't required to add anyone, though for your convinience, I'd recommend adding me, so you can join via lounge.

Newcommers to my events have to join at least one practice session so I can make sure that they drive clean and fair. There wasn't supposed to be any sessions after yesterday, but as it is, I'm hosting one now. If you wish to participate in the event, I'd like for you to join the practise session now.

Edit: Participants are required to have access to the Spa Circuit. No access to the circuit, means no access to the event. Sorry.

Just done 30 minutes of hot lapping on Spa with the MX5. Best I've been able to do is 3.07.575. Simply can't understand where some of you are getting the extra time. I've seen some of you do 3.05's. HOW!? At least i was able to keep it very consistant for 8 laps :).

I've also seen a time of 3.03, and I'll go out on a limb and say that isn't possible without going off track on Eua Rouge, and some of the other high speed corners.

The last practice session has ended, with 1 hour break until the actual event opens.
Chris and I had some interesting races.

I don't think I will be able to attend the practice session today but I will be home in time for the main event.
