I had a little practice last night and I seem to be getting 1:47's in the race, so not sure where that is going to put me. I think I might struggle though as I was 0.5 faster in the Beetle and 1 second faster per lap in the Lancer. Nissan seemed kinda twitchy around the track, so going to be interesting to see @HoonigaN96 wrestle it around the track.

Think it will be fun to watch the good drivers

Just to confirm that no success penalties are carried over from last season.

Everyone has a clean slate for Round 1 tonight.

Slowly slowly around the corners, then blast down the straight, then slowly again

Gutted I'll miss the first round, good luck and safe racing to everyone, I'll catch you in the next round. Well, probably, you'll catch me when lapping me, but, whatever.
Anyone shares a replay, let me know.

Hi guys, thanks to the lurgy we've had to cancel going out tonight. If my space is still available I might be able to make the race later?

 

[paoloevans]

Race lobby now open!

I had complete internet failure by the time the room was opened.

Oh mate that's so unlucky. I noticed you were gone and asked if anyone knew where you were. We ended uo delaying qualy for a few minutes but it still wasnt enough... Thats so unfortunate...

I had complete internet failure by the time the room was opened.

Really sorry to hear that mate. Hope its ok for Fuji.

Someone can share the replay please? Mine is corrupted

 

[Lost Sheltie]

Was an interesting race today. Quali was ok but I didn't improve on my 1st lap so obviously had time I should have got.

Not sure what happened to @Hasnain282 at the 1st corner but kinda got sandwiched between him and @HappyMeal. Managed to get into 4th which is where I stayed until I made a mistake on the last corner and ran wide into the gravel. Tried to defend the inside going into the first corner but left a gap and @HappyMeal took it. I could see I didn't quite have the pace to match the guys ahead so just concentrated on keeping everything smooth in the hope I could jump someone at the pits, and sat and enjoyed the race between @Spinerkopin , @PTLobo2 and @HappyMeal

I came out of the pits and I was in 4th with no @HappyMeal to be seen and was about 2 secs behind Spiner and Lobo, and that pretty much stayed the same until lap 19 when just as I was thinking about pushing hard to the end my wheel died and I flew into the wall at the hairpin. After a few secs of messing around I managed to get going with the controller but I haven't used one in ages so I wasn't exactly good with it

Anyway congrats to @HoonigaN96 for a dominant performance and congrats to everyone else for (hopefully) a good race. Can't share the race as I think it is too big for the server.

Video for chuckles

 

[PTLobo2]

I agree with Sheltie. It was an interesting race and a very tactical one imo. I qualified 4th but i had pace for a better starting position, just coundnt nail a lap.
Then during the race, @Hasnain282 went wide on t1 and i got into 3rd. That also caused some 3 wide action behind me and, as a result, a 3 second gap between me and 4th.
I soon realised @HoonigaN96 was going to run away with it and my focus was on getting 2nd. However, I didnt go for the move on @Spinerkopin: I stayed behind, bump drafted and went into higher fuel modes when in the slipstream him with the hope of keeping the gap i had to @HappyMeal and fuel saving to overtake spiner in the pits. In spite of the fact i avoided battling as much as possible, happy meal caught me around lap 10 and i dived into the pits, not to loose time fighting him. He did too. I got out around 3 seconds in front due to my fuel saving and that was crucial as we both encountered some people who hadnt pitted but i managed to get through them both just before the main straight, while he couldnt, meaning he got held up and lost quite a bit of time and at least one position.
Despite all of that, i still managed to get into 2nd as i had saved just enough fuel to jump spiner in the pits. And i mean JUST. We did t1 side by side when he was leaving the pits but i had the inside line and got through. After that, i was quicker than him and managed to build a small gap and get to the chequered flag in a very good position.
I'd also like to show my appreciation to @paoloevans for once again hosting the event.

 

[paoloevans]

@Kuraudo hope you enjoyed the race?

 

[HoonigaN96]

Qualy was good, should of snuck in a 44 but couldn't quite get the last sector right on my final lap.

Race was fairly lonely, nailed T1 lap1, car was a bit sketchy to start with but once I got into a rhythm after 4/5 laps it started to feel really good, just kept glancing at the map throughout the race watching all the battles taking place almost right through the field, hopefully it stays like that all season this time

...and a few more

 

[paoloevans]

@p1n0yi30y as I haven't heard anything from you and you missed Round 1 are you still planning on racing any of the other races mate?

If not please let me know as its a full entry list and your space may be filled by someone else. Ta

 

[paoloevans]

I'm taking @p1n0yi30y off the entry list. His last GTPlanet login was on 21st August.

Don't think he's gonna turn up

 

[paoloevans]

@Bivittavus88 do you still want to race at Fuji?

If so shall I add you to the main entry list? If that last space gets filled you may miss out mate 👍

 

[Kuraudo]

@Kuraudo hope you enjoyed the race?

First I thought I was alone all the race... but then I saw the race results and there were 13 other guy . Dead last from start to finish. I'm so off the pace I can't even describe it .
Big thank you for the second photo with @EATHinNZ . It just looks like I'm in a serious battle with another racer .

Congratulations for everybody ! You guys are awesome with alien speed.

 

[skivit76]

Hold on until next race @Kuraudo I've got your 6. Any practice I ran with totalrose, I was way off too.

Stay with it mate!! I was running at the back for the second half of last season but by completing every race I managed to score points and move up in the standings. With only a hand full of drivers in the Gentleman's Cup you'll keep on getting good points!

 

[El_Beardo]

@Bivittavus88 do you still want to race at Fuji?

Yep. That sounds good mate. I'll stick to the non point scoring thing, though. As I'm fairly sure that's the only race I'll be able to do, this year.

I personally dont see a problem with you scoring points. Some people only raced one round last season and they were classified in the championship.

Yeh I'm quite happy for you to register points scored @Bivittavus88
