Spinning Arrows Club. Thursday night casual racing.Open

[tarkus1]

Drumroll please.......

IT'S CASUAL NIGHT AGENDA TIIIIIIIIIIME!!!!!! - you have to yell or sing that last line to get the full effect.

race number 1 - nice and simple 5 laps around trial mountain with 550PP street cars.
race 2 - VFT and still street cars but the PP levels jumps to 575.
race 3 - yep, still street cars. VFT and now down to 525PP
race 4 - One Make at Midfield (10 laps) in the Subaru. (love that car)
race 5 - winner of last race decides next track and PP.
race 6 - VFT 600PP any car.
race 7 - This is where SAC takes a small detour. It will be a return to Daytona in the 1st Daytona 77 challenge. This will be 20 laps although this is where things will change. This is a Dirty NASCAR race and that means bumping is allowed and actually encouraged. The strong boost and strong slipstream will make it easy to catch up to someone that just rammed you into a wall so have your pit crew ready. Damage will be set to none.
race 8 - winner of Daytona 77 challenge decides next PP and VFT.
race 9 - PP level will be 535 and VFT. This race will be known as OB's revenge (or Manny's revenge, depending on how the previous meeting actually turned out). Any car
race 10 - will be VFT although I have a feeling midfield may make another appearance (HINT HINT). 625PP race cars only.

enjoy and see you guys on the track.

Glad that I will be able to be part of this agenda tomorrow!!! Looking forward to those street car races, BRZ at Mid Mid, Dirty DAYTONA and OB's challenge (I have no clue why tho lol)

 

[Obelisk]

Lemme give you all a hint about the OB Revenge race.

That's really cool. I think there are a bunch of musicians in this club so ya never know.

I was a dj from 95 to 05(spinning records) then got into producing music with pro tools for about 5yrs, and now I play the drums for fun!

I tried to mess with dubstep once. Deaf + Dubstep = utter trash

very cool. I'm trying to learn mastering right now on Presonus studio 1. Working to release my next album in a few months. I sure could use a few "mastering tips" although its just for fun. I won't be involved in that process for the album.

Yay! Free tunes and back ground music for the SAC videos!!


Good way to advertise your work "Jefe"

 

[Obelisk]

Okay, off topic question for you guys!
What is your favorite driving song?
(Or the one you listen to the most while on GT6)

My top song is this:


My second place song is the theme song of a certain anime. Y'all gotta figure it out.

no wonder you can't hear us.... you were listening to your song(s)...

I love how you didn't realize the irony in that.

 

[MannYhAvitZ]

Gran Turismo - Oxyacetylene:

This song got stuck to me ever since I played the Original Gran Turismo!

I remember driving my Purple Mitsubishi GTO at Trial Mountain and this song was playing in the back ground. I was blown away by the gameplay and the epic music made it feel 10 times better, it was the biggest hype ever!!!

Good old days ​

 

[Ole]

Soooooo......

I got good news and I got bad news....

The good news is Ole is back... (Just needed some time off - I got cashed out from the game there for a minute)

The baaaaad news is....
.....Ive brought the Team Vodka Ford GT with me...

T-minus 2weeks ma-brethren!

Again sad I can't do casual night... Still on poker teacher duty... I'd tell you about week1 but you wouldn't believe it.... A combined net worth of those 6 chicks dudes of maybe 100million... That's cause a few of them were poor at maybe only 1million/yr income (not including the host chick, my friend, who's guy is worth almost a billion...). This week's 6 new chicks are probably worth triple last week's group.... This house... 25,000sq ft... Puts any house I've ever seen on TV or anywhere to shame....
Doubtful I'll bring up my online nerdy racing group!!! But if I do I'll have them all give Team Vodka a big kiss while I'm flipping you all the bird...

Enjoy!!!!

[Re-up]

I can't believe that the most guys here only use a bicycle, an helicopter or a plane (space shuttle ) for going shopping...?...
So I'm trying once again with this old topic... 💡

BTW, thanks a lot for the few guys that already took part...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​

Hey guys!



In order to satisfy my curiosity, as Roger Taylor (Queen drummer) used to say, are you as well in love with your car... AND which one???

You may explain the reason of your choice, post some pix and in addition why not mentioning your very real dream-car(s)?

I hope this is not that much confidential for you to share this. Otherwise, please let me know!

Thanx in advance for taking part! 👍


​

Well, well, well! I'm beginning with my Renault Clio Campus.com 2010 - Diesel, 90CH (approx. 88.7HP).
This is not mine on the following pic, but it looks exactly the same...

The reason: It's a cheap car and in order to drive daily approx. 90km (two ways) it drinks only 3.1 l/100km (I'm driving consequently for this. For fast driving, I use Gran Turismo )...

My dream car(s): Subaru Impreza wrx sti '98, Nissan GTR (anyone, I don't care... ), Chevrolet Corvette Stingray '68 or '69, Ford Mustang '69... Oh my!


Who dares now?

Just wondering what is the average lap times, I'm seeing these 2:15s from some people, but is that consistent?

Best I've managed so far on RM tires (testing on these since we have to change compound during race) is 2:23s. So maybe 1.5 to 2 seconds better on RS for me.

You guys are scaring me.

 

[Ole]

This track / race I perdict will produce a wide range of lap times... Evening laps 1-3 seconds slower and lots of twisties to eat up those tires...
And the last chicane can make or break your lap time...
I've yet to see too many / any 2:14s on RS... So get a ride that is stable, get it fast, and then flirt with less safe and put the pedal to the metal!!!
Id say the 2:15.xxx top times are all recording consistant <2:17laps on RSs though... So there can be some consistency of <2sec

I did not touch my SLS AMG over two weeks, so I don't know how's ALIENS doing??

 

[jr4737]

I 'm trying to run some sport tires on different pp races
From sport hard to soft,
400pp and up to 600pp all sport tires
Will see how's it go

so far 2:15.xxx from EHTeam is the fastest, but I expect he will take off couple of tenth here and there thus I am not surprised if someday he posts a lap time of 2:14.xxx


otherwise, 2:16.xxx is fast

2:17.xxx to 2:18.xxx is decent.

 

[MRTeam]

Alright first.
Patrick. Can we include our favorite cars from GT1-GT6?
If so my chose would take several days.

Songs:
Gran Turismo 1 Mansun 'Wide Open Space'
Gran Turismo 1 Garbage ' As Heaven is Wide'

Gran Turismo 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Qq-I4orlEhE

Motely Crew 'Kick start Heart' especially the first part of the song. Gets the blood pumping.

Then the phrase I hear every race by my crew. Push It

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=0AIIsfKGlV8


Yeah, tjger is a sick demented animal.

 

[MRTeam]

Wow, did some rereading of old posts.
Found this question "am I working with the Project Cars guys? The answer is no, but it seems they have included me in their work.

 

[Eh Team]

Oh GT music, how it has changed over the years. I have a favourite from 1 but I can't particularly remember what it's called. 2 I got with a whole new PS1 this past christmas so I don't have a favourite yet. 3 on the other hand, I have 3 I can't pick one single favourite from so here they all are:
Kickstart my Heart - Motley Crue
Freewheel Burning - Judas Priest
Jimi Hendrix - song name forgotten

GT4, oh GT4 was good. I really loved the garage menu music, very relaxing, the race choosing menu also great as well as the pre-race menu music. Actual songs, my personal favourite was Short Fuse Burning by Less Than Jake, I actually later went to itunes and got the whole album with that song. There was also an instrumental in there called Machine Gun, it was pretty good but I researched it further and found the original which is an awesome instrumental by The Commodores, fun fact Lionel Richie was in that band before he went solo. There was one other song by Joe Satriani I really liked to but that name is lost now too. GT5 and 6 were kinda no good for me, a few of the menu instrumentals are good but that's about it. However, I did find in 6's BGM the menu music I was talking about from 4 so I'm going to switch it out soon hopefully for the headache stuff that's in the pre-race menu right now.

Cars on the other hand, many favourites so I'll just go over the highlights.
GT1 - Toyota Chaser converted into a racecar (now there's a feature I miss)
GT2 - haven't played long enough
GT3 - tough one I'd have to go through what I had again but the GT500 Supras were always appealling
GT4 - Konica Minolta Toyota 88C-V
GT5 - Honda S2000 LM race car
GT6 - Renault R8 Gordini
GT PSP - Loctite Zexel GT500 GT-R
