Sunday GT3.5 Cup ENDED

[Goodwolf]

Great race everyone!

Quite a decepticon to have a laptime 2 seconds faster then the number two, but finishing 4th. But then again, consistency is key! 👍

I enjoyed the stategy with the tyres and congrats to Socal for showing everyone who was boss ... tonight!

Moment of the race: the 3-way battle with Jamesy and Goodwolf down the backstraight.

Well I too was deceived by jamesys decepticon. Plus my autobot didn't agree with hard tyres and with my choice of color. Maybe I should change it before he really gets cranky.

Here he is in all his might. Gents meet Sunstreaker.

P.S. That's why I'm faster lately.

 

[OmniusGT]

I've opened a can of worms here

 

[jamesybograt]

just like to say a big thanks to all who came and made it a great race .

but better beware as i hear the AUTOBOTS are on the lookout for some fast cars to integrate into there collective (resistance is futile)

 

[socalspeedfreak]

good battle with Goodwolf and Cobani at the beginning. really appreciate the clean racing. not sure how i pulled the win out but i'll take it. look forward to Indy but i'd rather race Daytona!

Cheers

Thanks itsginge. We got a mention on a gaming website. How cool is that.

 

[socalspeedfreak]

thanks Jamesy!

 

[Goodwolf]

Here is for GT 3.5 Cup. To full grids, clean and fun racing, good connections and many more laps.

 

[socalspeedfreak]

anyone ever heard of racing softs lasting longer than racing hards ?

 

[GTP_ADE]

anyone ever heard of racing softs lasting longer than racing hards ?

No, but I could do with that happening at tomorrows race. Indianopilis road isnt my favorite track, so some extended running on softs would be welcome.

 

[socalspeedfreak]

mine either! i'm just hoping for a decent finish. i think the 100 kilo weigth addition is making alot of difference with the cars handling!! see you tommorow. 👍

 

[trotterlover79]

hi mate i might not be racing tonight as something has come up.

 

[jamesybograt]

hi mate i might not be racing tonight as something has come up.

no problem mate see you next time ..

 

[hasslemoff]

I might not make it tonight, Ill try but I will probably miss qualifying if I do make it back in time.

 

[jamesybograt]

just like to say thanks to all who turned up tonight .
it was a great race even if i do say so myself (being the winner)
will post some pictures of the race in due course .
once again thanks to you all....

 

[LegendaryS30Z]

I had fun today guys, good racing. If I can join in the next Sunday GT3.5 cup I would appreciate it. Thanks 👍

 

[socalspeedfreak]

congrats to Jamesy and once again it was a pleasure being involved. too bad the other guys were not able to make it. look forward to a full field at some point!!

 

[Cobani]

I had a blast to. Too bad I didn't convert my pole into a decent first lap and with heavy damage on, my race was one of catch up. I did enjoy the battles though and the podium was a nice reward. And good to see new gentlemen drivers join the C(l)up! 👍

 

[socalspeedfreak]

yea you went into turn one deep and my eyes got really big!!

 

[Cobani]

So you went like when I went from to to ...catch breath... .

Cheers!

 

[socalspeedfreak]

yea and then i went from to to to to to jamesy pulled of a flawless strategy and perfomance !! i like this series as you really have to think as well as perform to run at the front.

 

[GTP_ADE]

Great racing last night everyone, my race went thenthenthen

Monza should be better for me than Indy...👍👍👍

 

[Goodwolf]

I guess I was somewhere in between. My race after the 2nd pit stop went , , and then all in one lap. Surprisingly there was no need for this 🤬. I guess I was really concentrated on the race.

 

[socalspeedfreak]

i watched the indy replay last night. it looked like Happy just bumped ADE slightly in the left rear quarter panel and ADE had engine damage! does that happen because ADE's car is mid engine?

 

[LegendaryS30Z]

wow, that's some sensitive damage system sorry about the love tap ADE it was a tight corner I didn't know we could pit in for damage until my 2~3 lap haha

 

[socalspeedfreak]

that was turn one of lap one when that happened. you had tire damage and ADE had tire and engine damage. the touch look so light that his engine damage could only be because its mid engine. i've seen heavier impact with no damage before.

 

[jamesybograt]

A brief history of INDY

And it begins..

Into the first corner with cold tyres !!!

Over the brick yard for the first time.

There's some close racing going on

Still close after 6 laps....

Omnius setting up a move

Ade thought it was DRIFTWARS ! 1000pts for artistic line hugging

Omnius say's let the war begin 5000pts soooo smokey

After the war time for a picnic..

The fight continues into the second half of the race..

With more close racing .

The lead changes lap 19....

And again on lap 27...

Last lap is the gap to big

Look's like i'm closer

And the winner is

AARRGGGHHH ONE MORE LAP


THANKS TO ALL WHO ATTENDED LETS HAVE SOME MORE

 

[socalspeedfreak]

yes close racing at time!! :-) i think with the three different tire choices it leads to a lot of different strategies. two componds only would lead to alot more wheel to wheel battles for longer periods. maybe for the next season. just a suggestion as i'm having fun just the way it is.
