one tiny tip i can offer is the braking distance and turn-in behavior will change significantly when the tires are down to 7...

also, easy on throttle when coming out of the slow corners in order to avoid wheelspin (rear tires indicator turns red). it helps balancing the tires-wear between front & rear.

Its only a matter of time until I'm the single human driving amongst all aliens.:(:nervous::(

What a race!
I don't know if it was lucky pit strategy or just consistently setting the fastest laps but I can't believe I actually won the FGT race! :eek:
You guys were all really good at moving across when I lapped you all. :bowdown:
Good racing everyone, I'm pleased to score some points before Tarkus comes back & wipes the floor with us all.
:cheers:

Always nice race with you guys
 
it was probably the most intense race I've ever had :cheers:

I think last time I had such an intense race was way back to the GT3 race @ Spa in March (same track.. what a co-incident... lol)


but the race last night was more difficult, because we are driving the same car, gordon's was clearly the fastest guy in the race, and the margin of error in the FGT is much narrower than the GT cars.


Even when I was leading the race I have to be extremely cautious not to make mistake AND driving fast because I know gordon will catch up very quickly with his speed.

Meanwhile, looking after the tire-wear was critical, I think that takes up to 60% of making me win the race last night.


need to pay special thanks to Mazda, to host the room, also park himself on the track when I was about to lap him :cheers: I was chasing gordon at that moment and it was a big help from him!! 👍


Thanks again SAC for organizing the race!!

You have me mixed up with Tarkus1. I'm actually tarkus1. I opted to go with a small "T" to avoid confrontation with Tarkus1. Of course that explains why I never did get my order of BBQ pork. That damn Tarkus1 is probably enjoying my meal this very minute.

Good to hear the F1GT was a fun race and too bad I had to miss it. As @S_Bridge says, I would have wiped the floor with you rookies anyway so maybe it's a good thing I wasn't there.:lol:

Doh, maybe I shouldn't have said that. Now @Rickrmtskingdom is going to kick my arse again!!!!!

Well in case anybody at all is wondering, I WILL be back this coming Thursday. My schedule is going to be somewhat normal for the next few weeks anyway. So be prepared people, tarkus1 is back and heeeeeeeee's PISSED!!!!!
OK, not really, but it sounded good in my head.
Looking forward to racing and just generally chatting it up with you fine gentlemen this week.

Don't worry my friend. I am NOT missing the train this coming Thursday. I've been driving to work each morning with a picture of your "Hello Kitty" car taped to my rear view mirror just to get me ready.:cheers::P
 
I suppose the pizza be'd free. At the same time, you'd never eat the pizza. So, probably not...

Anyways, my GTPlanet seems to hate emailing me notifications.

When will this week's agenda go up?
