Spinning Arrows Club. Thursday night casual racing.Open

[Eh Team]

I'd like to thank Tiger for putting on another tough event, strategy was my downfall, but the race itself played out very smoothly. Good win for mphile tonight, as far as I could tell he made no mistakes and just had an edge over everyone else in consistency and speed. Alex and BR1, great racing around you guys when we were together, all very clean and hard. Sorry for that last lap mix up BR, I had already seen a gap to your right and was going for it a split second before you said left. Tjger, Fan, and sim, you guys had some race going on, I was trying to keep my worn tires out of your way so I hope I didn't mess with the outcome much if at all. Everyone else, even though I didn't really see you, great job to you all. I looked at the map quite a bit and saw a lot of very close arrows, but no Spinning Arrows... No? okay haha

I'd also like to say that a little later tonight I'll be posting the full details of my GT-R tribute race, which will be run the week after Spa goes. Depending how that goes I may look at running tribute races for other iconic cars.

Major thanks to all that showed up.



You guys know how to race.

I just need to figure out how cure everyone's pre-race jitters.

Right guys?
​

Thanks Tjger, great event! I'm happy I finally got through the whole race. 👍

Congrats to everyone.

Alright these are photos I took of the last night's action .
I'm sure you guys can find some more.

My favorite.
I wouldn't trade this battle for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th.

 

[alcheng]

i got a tight-neck-muscle right after the race, i can't turn my head to my right side...

omg...

 

[MRTeam]

Great, first it's Ole's fingers. Now you have a tight neck.
Now I'll need to schedule a stringing exercise prior to racing.

Pick the drink up. 1-2-3. Put the drink down 4-5-6.


Ok, here it is. The Project Cars interview.
There are two parts. Its a very large article, so sit back and enjoy.

I feel bad for the guys who couldn't stay till the end & for PTK who had prepared with the wrong spec.
I made a few mistakes. Spent several hours trying things out earlier on only to change the whole setup again just before the race. Crashed about 4 times. Planned on 4 pit stops, changed to 3 during the race. Ran out of fuel just before the pit lane on lap 26. Almost fell asleep at the wheel. Finished the race with 287BHP.
I still loved it though.

I’ve being working for hours since weeks for that race.
Much ado about nothing. Love to waste my time at all… 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
The absolute disgrace this race! Never again!!!...

My heart sank a little after reading this:

“Hi Andy. Please could you give us some info on the Playstation 4 online lobbies? How many drivers would be allowed per lobby?

Andy: ” 16 with any combo of either Human or AI opponents. “

 

[griff_theo]

a good event as usual but i seem to pick the underdog car all the time... .good racing had by all..... had some good battles with smc but he seems to suffer alot under pressure even with a faster car... gotta work on that focus buddy!

Don't be down Patrick. We all learn something every time. You'll know you need to check your units conversion well in advance next time. 👍

Just get one of us to set the restrictions in a practice lobby to match the required spec for the car you will use. Then you can make adjustments until the numbers are one click away from the red. 💡

You did well to race for all that time when you must have been really frustrated.

Team Pokemon Lexus press release:

Congratulation to Mphile for taking the top spot of the podium in the Tokyo GT300 50 laps!!! Fantastic race from him with a flawless driving from start to finish...!!! Fast and consistent..!! A well deserved winner!!


Another BIG THANK YOU to Tjger, another successful Tjger Enduro Event!!! The only glitch of the night was Manny got disconnected half way through the race, fxxk that PSN.


Alcheng was more than a "satisfy"!!! Finishing 2nd overall.

A great battle with Manny on the first two laps, eventually a lucky get away .

Then another couple laps battle with BR1MANN for 3rd.

At one point it was almost a 3-way battle between EHTeam, BR1MANN and alcheng!!!

EHTeam was clearly the faster guy out there, but thanks to the pit strategy, alcheng was able to re-take the 2nd place at the finishing stage of the race and eventually came home 2nd.


Congrats to Mphile, alcheng and EHTeam!!! Great race from the top 3.

Also a congrats to all the 15 drivers who participated in the Tokyo 50 laps!! It was exciting, intense and best of all, it was extremely fun!!!!


See you all in Spa in March!!!!

Thanks Tjger, now you have me seriously drooling for this game! The latest trailer is amazing, I really hope they add at least one classic Mini to the game.

 

[MRTeam]

Alright I don't know where to start so......

Yeah, Project Cars revealed a slight let down, but if everyone(including mazda3pro ) from Wednesday night shows up. We'll rock the house.


PTK_68

Relax, you'll be fine. The more you race, the better your skills will be. 👍

alexmavis

100% agree

THANKS for coming. 👍 It turns out how you play the game makes all the difference. Good to hear the driving chair works.

Free advice. Try to make yourself as comfortable as possible.
Now for those that saved the replay and have a surround sound. Crank it up

That's ok
at least I'm the first guy you pick

 

[FergusMik]

@MRTeam mmm, seems like I might have a touch of "Enduro-itis", amazing what a good chair will do. 👍

So I'm trying cars at Spa for the next one, anyone remember/know what a decent lap time is on that track with one of these cars?

Not sure anyone has done any testing yet? Haven't heard any news on lap times? I will try and get there tomorrow night maybe and post some times. I'm also going to mess with that mini!!!

already? be careful with those hands and neck ! lol

 

[jr4737]

At least they have a month to recover

 

[Ole]

Great casual night boys!!
....Even though the room was a little light...

Perhaps the enduro racers have SOME limitations to their endurance!!! BR1 and smcinnis the exception

But we had some fun battles and a good agenda...

Hopefully everyone will have their doctors clearance to race again and we'll all be back to form by next Thursday...

Please stay tuned for the next sign up sheet for BAD II which will probably roll out this Saturday.

 

[jr4737]

Had a great race tonight
Thanks guys

Right now my team has just arrived at Spa.
Hopefully this weekend, I'll be on the track.

For the most part I'll be soaking in the track layout and trying a few things. No serious lap times planned.
If you're lucky you see the #91 driven by BR1MANN and gordonnation on the track with me.

 

[MRTeam]

This is the first post for what is basically a continuation of the "Looking for new racers" thread (https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/looking-for-new-racers.297307/).
Under this new post we will address all questions, concerns, etc. related to the Thursday evening events as well as post new information pertaining to said events such as which particular car to use, HP limits, etc.

Also please have a look at http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=spinning arrows club if you would like to have a look at some of the races we typically offer.

I would also like to point to this link as it demonstrates the quality of racers we have gathered as you'll see going into corner no.1. What I find very impressive is that there's hardly any paint being traded in this first turn. Very CLEAN racing by all.

How do I join the group?
