(SuperGT) EURO GT500 Season 8 - Winners - MSP_J-Town and YellowHat MSP RacingFinished

Race Report - Rd.2

Q - 2nd
R - 4th

Had a good Q with a 18.3 but again behind JT by the smallest of margins, this now happened several times in a row and I have to say I'm getting a bit annoyed about.

Had a good start of the line again was already on JT's side but he got me on the outside of turn 3. Hasinho was looking very fast behind me in 3rd and by lap 5 he got by me, I didn't put up much of a fight as I was on my own 2 stop strategy and I didn't wan't to lose time fighting other cars. I soon noticed that I'm the only driver in top 5 going on 2 stoper with Tomzon on same strategy 10 seconds behind. In the first stop on lap 17 I had some kind of bug which caused the car to stand still another few seconds more than needed. I came out just in front of Tomzon despite me having a nice lead over Tom before the pit stop. At that point I knew I lost a bunch of time and probably any chance to win.

Last two stints seemed long and hard on my tyres, I didn't get the same feel as I did in my long run practice before race. I did have some fights in last part of race with me being defensive in worn tyres, was very fun especialy against JT.

Was hoping for a podium but JUJU came out of nowhere out of the pits in last stint and that meant i got 4th which was still good considering problems in pits.

I usually do better on Japan tracks so bring on Motegi !

Merry Holidays

I'm so slow starting the race because I don't want to cause an accident, and I'm literally panicky when I see you in my mirror! I try to move from the racing line and not slow you down, but I do it all wrong which generally results in a spin or almost, and eventually I DO slow you down.

And this is why I would rather see you try another series Tijee. Something that will more suit your driving style and speed. I think being 3 seconds of the pace gets already a bit dangerous at moments. In Trial Mountain when I was lapping you, we made contact twice and the third time you spun directly infront of me making me to come to almost a complete stop. In Q it gets even more complicated as I had already a few complains from Fuji. We are just not racing on same level and as organiser I must take care of the safety and your driving was not safe enough Trial Mountain to be honest.

 

[Tijee]

That's why I won't join the next races nissman. Sorry for the trouble!

 

[nissman]

No hard feelings Tijee, you are a great guy I just think you will enjoy more in other series's.

Finally got around to update the EGT500 driver statistics. Updated till the last round in Trial Mountain.

[SkengD]

I really need to re discover my gt5 form in the new year

I need to get more podiums, so that I can overtake you in statistics

 

[MC CAULEY]

If there's a place deal me in for the remainder of the championship.

Oh and my Bathhurst P3 isn't on the the list of results, haha.

Sorry about that, will be fixed.

 

[MSP_JUJU]

I'd like to race again tomorrow, as well...if there's still space for me
Jeesus, I love my holidays ...

Oh okay!

 

[MC CAULEY]

Sorry about that, will be fixed.

Just tell me what one is the fastest and I'll use that.

 

[MSP hasihno]

ah... no race today?

 

[nissman]

Just tell me what one is the fastest and I'll use that.

Free cars are Xanavi GTR, Denso Lexus and Nissan Z Base Model. Can't say which car is fastest depense on the track.

ah... no race today?

No Hasinho we have a break this week as some members are on vacation and wouldn't be able to race. We are back next Tuesday 6th Jan.

Also a big thanks to @MSP TOMZON for making us a brand new series logo! 👍

 

[mirial]

Looking at my statistics, I'd hate it if a potential employer, talent scout or even a woman saw them as they'd only be interested if there was no one else! There's always this season to polish 'em up a bit though.

 

[MC CAULEY]

Ok Niss, I'll give them all a try and let you know before the next race.

You still have a win, 7 podiums and 4 poles Mirial ! I think Dino is the one that has to be a bit worried if he will get an employer in next season.

Ok Niss, I'll give them all a try and let you know before the next race.

Ok copy that.

 

[lozzaiscool]

Surprised Kos, Sonic and Andro have never had a podium! 3 of the fastest drivers! Crazy!
Stretchy has the best record though, 38 races and only 1 podium

Anyone tested Motegi yet?

Yes was suprised as well when I noticed that. Kostas has a few preseason wins but I guess he runs out of luck in season races. Andro didn't find a good feel in Supra last season but I'm pretty sure a podium is coming soon. Shame Sonic is not with us this season, he is up there with Tony and JT in one lap pace but had a lot of damage problems in last season.

But still, Stretchy is second overall in races completed !

I did a short test few days ago. I think i did a 1:45.100

 

[xStretch-]

My podiums came before we started taking records

 

[nissman]

Was easy to get podiums back then. Before the alien invasion.

 

[S_Juha]

Hi all.
Before 2 days i practice with Andro & Mirial.
Can i register to your championship? My time is limited but i will try to race all the championship.

 

[nissman]

Hello Juha. We have one last spot open so you can join us. Would like to see if you join me in a test room tonight at aroun 19:00 cet so we get to know each other a bit better. What car did you have in mind to use? At the moment im not totaly sure which are free. I will know more by tonight.

 

[S_Juha]

One of GTR's or Lexus maybe. I will join to your room tonight to practice. Let me know which cars are available and i will choose one. Thanks for joining me!

 

[nissman]

Nice to have you on board Juha!

Xanavi GTR and Denso Lexus are still avaliable. But you will have to wait for @MC CAULEY to make his pick, he joined the season few days ago but didn't pick his car yet. I will try to get in contact with him as soon as possible so we sort this out as I'm sure you wan't to do some testing.

 

[MC CAULEY]

I will drive the Xanavi GTR. I haven't tested yet but will just pick that one to get the new guy away with his car. Sorry.

I'll be on tonight for a run.

 

[nissman]

Ok, thanks for the quick answer AS.

There is actually another Xanavi GTR avaliable as Tijee31 droped out I just realised. So you can still choose between the GTR and the Lexus @S_Juha.

Edit: Test room up and running.

Drivers in:

1. NissmanR32
2. AndroR35 (out)
3. snabb_handen

Race day!

Remember guys.. Join the race lobby as early as possible, so we can sort out any connection issues!

Looking forward to this race, I'm quite far off the leading pace here so far (best lap 45.0) but this track usually provides some good racing, so I'm hoping to still have a fun race. And my tyre wear seems to be pretty good, so hopefully I can gain some time back with that!

Also, one more quick note for this track... I would recommend practicing the pit entrance before we race. It's very tight and you approach it at high speed, so you have to brake quite a lot before entering the pits!

Good luck!

See you guys on track later!

 

[nissman]

Cant wait to open the 2015 racing season! I think we are in for in interesting one tonight. Motegi always produces the best racing. As Lozza mentioned be careful on pit entrance. Be sure to delete your cache, reset modem, change oil, etc.

Unfortunatly we have two drop outs, tony1311 and AyrtonS.
