[Obelisk]

A lot of aliens on that bracket

I wonder if I'll even get past the first round.

 

[MRTeam]

Hang on guys.
Now that the Endurance races will be held on Wednesday at 7:00 PM EST.

February 18th agenda could get changed.

The race could get extended or modified.

The night could turn into a triple header.

Ideas on the table are making the race longer and taking the Senna car to Monte Carlo along with Sierra.

So just be patient.

Why not the Nordschleife for round 4? Insanely long and difficult track which puts strain on the cars and drivers.

[Eh Team]

Polar Bear Official: The team is already looking ahead to the Tokyo GT300 event and have had a cookout with representatives from all the manufacturers. The Subaru man was really trying to get of on the right foot and did so very much by bring some freshly cooked seal. No deal is signed yet but Subaru definitely has us caught by the mouth for the moment.

 

[mphile77]

Hey Mphile, So sorry about that little wreck. Had some issues at the house causing me to lose concentration then it was all downhill from there.

No biggie it all worked out, i did think i was sunk at that moment. Somehow someway i found the front and pushed as hard as i could to stay there. u might be the reason i won because of that? so maybe i owe u a thank you lol?

 

[jr4737]

Guys, did you hear that!!!
What??
Aliens talking, My radio receive some static signal

 

[polysmut]

After some preliminary testing for Team RE Amemiya, our driver contemplates whether he'll have any leverage in a bidding war...

Awesome! So in a way I can take some credit for your victory. Wooohooo!!!!!

 

[Obelisk]

So, the press came up to me today.

A.P.: OB, any comments on the upcoming Bracket of Death event or the GT300 Event?

"..."

A.P.: O...k...Never mind.

 

[MannYhAvitZ]

GT300 is back!
Unfortunately I did a No show last time and Subaru refuses to do a contract with me! Not only that, but word is that the other Companies and sponsors don't want me as well.....
Good thing I still have my GT500 contract with Team Lexus! So they have decided they will sponsor me for the GT300 event.

I guess Lexus owes me now

Hello all,

I just wanted to say a few things here since as of the 14th of January, Spinning Arrows Club is now 1 year old officially.
Many of you have been here for a while but I just wanted to let some others in on how this all started. It was simply myself and a few close friends (most of which no longer race with us) casually racing on Thursday nights although we could only get about 4 people together on average. After doing this for so long I decided to look to GTP to recruit new members. That's where the "Looking for new racers" thread started. I recruited some new racers, had some fun on the tracks, then in no time we were forming a club and starting this very thread you're reading right now.

Fast forward a year with many new racers and you will see that Spinning Arrows is now going through some changes. Most are really just due to people needing more to fulfill their desire for racing.
So as most of you are aware, SAC is going through some growing pains although I shouldn't say "pains" as it will be better for the club.
First, Tjger will be taking his endurance races to Wednesday evenings and have full control of this. He will still be a part of SAC and for most of you not much will change. These are most likely going to be the same endurance races you've all raced in and loved in the past.
Second, Ole will be doing his "Bracket a Death" or BAD. I'll leave the times and details up to him but it sounds like a blast but don't be discouraged by the name. Nobody, and I mean that sincerely, NOBODY will be put to death. Of course I have not confirmed this with Ole so let me just say I'm pretty sure nobody will be put to death.

So I really want to thank all of you for the great times racing on Thursday evenings as well as the effort you have all put forth in creating races, practices, friendly banter, etc. It's been a great ride so far and will continue to do so only now, with more options.

So to sum this up, thanks again so much to you all for being a part of this and for the last year. Casual races will be run each Thursday as they have always been but you now just have additional avenues.

SAC is growing my friends and I'm glad you're all a part of it!

The date needs to be fixed. The dated posted is Wed Jan 18th.

 

[polysmut]

@MRTeam base models are OK for the GT300 right?

 

[alcheng]

@MRTeam base models are OK for the GT300 right?

I believe "yes"

 

[polysmut]

I believe "yes"

That's what we guessed when the question came up in the practice lobby today, the only difference to the car is in its appearance after all.
In any case, even if it's not allowed on race day, testing with a base model will still give perfectly accurate results for now.

 

[MRTeam]

The Date is fixed

Massive amount of jet lag plus a few knots up side my head.

[JockeP22]

I had my phone in my back pocket and all kinds of thing are on now

I'm sure he set the alarm at 2am to delete his cashe, check the forum, turn the house temp down 1 degree while Mrs. Tjger wasn't looking, go back to bed... repeat at 4am... charge both controllers, unplug and re-plug in wheel... test lap... back to bed... lay in bed awake, google on his smartphone what does Michael Shumacher eat for breakfast... watch alarm clock count down the minutes as he does the math of how many laps that would equal...
etc.. etc... etc....

Hi @JockeP22 ,
As I said in another post, my English is far from perfection. But I'm much better in German...
With the word "respectable", there was nothing pejorative. It's just that I didn’t have the correct word in mind, I hope you understood it.
I already tried on-line racing, but unfortunately I only had bad experiences with it and no fun at all.
I don’t know the BMW Z8 at all. I think, I have now to begin with it.

If it’s OK for you, I’ll send you a PSN FR…
EDIT: Sorry for the few words in German and French. It was an exception just for kidding with Jocke... (this can help: https://translate.google.com) LOL

Hello again, Patrick.
You're welcome any time. Sure send me a FR if you want to, the Club is public and there are no prerequisites of any kind. 👍
I actually studied German for a few years but I never use the language these days.
I still know most of the words but I'm very bad at holding a conversation with a real German.

So, the press came up to me today.

A.P.: OB, any comments on the upcoming Bracket of Death event or the GT300 Event?
"..."

A.P.: O...k...Never mind.

Hey everyone! Not sure if you remember, but long while ago (Just before Page 83 actually) I decided to start my own club based on the Sierra Time Rally events called the Sierra Themed Tarmac Rally club.
Anyways...
The STTR club extends an invitation to join our very first Endurance race on February 7th, 2015! For now, I am still working on the theme for that enduro and the balancing, but keep alert as I'll post the details here and on the STTR thread.
