Ya we were messing around last night. I changed the setup of the Motul, I was running full wing back and front, BHP was 435. I was averaging 1.10 around the track, BUT, after 15 laps I still had over 70% tread left on the front and about 80 on the rear. I am kind of thinking that I could probably do all 30 laps without pitting.

the recommended calsonic last season could do it

I was averaging 1.10 around the track.... I am kind of thinking that I could probably do all 30 laps without pitting.

Eish wena!

I was also doing 1:10's but I can't see my NSX making it to to the end without at least 1 stop...

 

[Canudigthis]

There is absolutely no way in a million years the NSX could do 30laps on 1 set!!!! I've gotta seriously pace myself just to make it half way, and then there is still only 20% tread all round. But I did run a 1:07,5 last night so it should be an interesting race.

 

[Canudigthis]

The other night Driver walked away from me easily with plenty of tire to spare, so I recon us Honda boys might have a tough night

 

[Canudigthis]

What's the drivers championship standings Homes? I think team Arta is still leading!

The NSX's chow their tyres badly on this track. Yes they may be quicker for a shortish stint, but what they make up in the beginning they will lose closer to the pit stop. The GTR's are marginally behind lap time wise, maybe a half to full second, but they manage their tyre wear much better. This should help with overall position. Its going to be a close one tonight. Watch out for the third corner, the first one in the little chicane area, there will be lots of f...............ck tonight.

 

[Canudigthis]

Buy you're forgetting one thing Zuat....... Honda RULES!!!!!!!!!!!! Lol

 

[worduphomes]

Quick points update...

 

[Driver 101]

WOW.... again.....guys thanks so much for a race that will be remembered.

I cannot tell you how close the entire race was between Canu and myself, it has been by far the closest ever. Big respect to you Canu for making the race between us as realistic as possible. The driving at high speed and at super close range could not have been any cleaner.

The finish was fantastic with the race coming down to the last few turns, absolutely epic, taking my adrenalin rush sitting on my couch to an all time high.

Cant wait to watch the replay...

Thanks All.

 

[Canudigthis]

Morning all.... Well done Driver on another win, what an absolutely superb race, couldn't get any better than that!!!!!!!! Clean clean clean close side by side racing! Can't wait to check out the replay. Now the championship is down to the wire! Thanks Willfred for making my life so easy when I caught you, thumbs up dude! And how's Byo-hazard, very impressive.

This was a nice race. I had a nice race with byo. I had the baby on my lap and lost a bit of concentration on the end. But it still was a great race

 

[Carbonox]

Not a good combo, when I race I care about nothing else, not even my laptop even if it happens to sit in my lap almost all the time when I'm playing

You're getting your daughter hooked on playstation already, wise move!

I've got a slipped disc in my back, so I normally spend a half the race standing up and sitting down otherwise it gets really uncomfortable. And during the pitstops I do I quick 50 one arm push ups just to stay focused!

 

[worduphomes]

LOL - I also lost concentration for a bit while I squished a spider.

That track is awesome.

Nice driving Driver and canu:tup:

The lupo races were so much fun. The championship is going to be hilarious and fun.

 

[Carbonox]

Don't kill spiders, they are really helpful

Canu, I race while blindfolded and with the controller upside down behind my back while dancing to 80's music...

Your turn...

 

[Canudigthis]

I must be honest.... I was tired last night so I let my girlfriend race for me. Hope you don't mind Carbon

 

[Carbonox]

That's okay, I let my 1 year old cousin do this one because I had lots of homework last night

 

[Canudigthis]

The Lupo rocks!!!! Did all the conversions last night, got a solid 442pp now. Let's do it! Think we should invite Byo- hazard and Tommy to join the championship proper?

 

[qsilver73]

Tommy works away from home most of the time. I did ask him once to be my team mate after mine resigned. I agree on the lupo cup. At one stage I was crying of laughter. It was so much fun

Pity. But seriously I think you should get a pp ballast penalty straight up cause you're to fast in that Lupo! Lol

 

[zuat]

I almost peeeeeeed in my pants after the High Speed ring. The top 5 finished within 0.2 seconds of each other. That was a legendery race, one for youtube. At one stage all of you were lagging so hard, it sounded like we were speaking Klingon or something like that. Them Lupos are awsome. Do the full upgrades and you should get 899kg, 208 bhp and pp of 447. If we limit this to say 420pp / 430pp, it still gives us 10 pp to play with as a bonus for the guys at the back of the championship.

 

[Carbonox]

If you guys have a decent-sized practice session in an earlier time when I'm available, please invite. It would be lovely to race that close...

 

[qsilver73]

Ag kak canu. U and driver was in front most of the time LOL!!. To be honest I think every 30 sec has a new leader.

 

[Driver 101]

I managed a 1.33.9XX last night. Is that anywhere near the required pace for Tokyo?

Nice....you in it to win it.

👍

 

[Carbonox]

Just to make sure it's clear, I'll grab my 7pp here, I think this could be a decent track for me as long as I don't do stupid things.

 

[Driver 101]

Everybody that hasn't taking the 7pp will be doing it here cos you cant at the last round

 

[Canudigthis]

Nice....you in it to win it.

👍

I can't get anywhere near that, that's seriously fast!!!!!

 

[Driver 101]

Guys, thanks for a great practice session last night. Everyone seems very quick.

Still cant believe Scale and I finished together, crazy. (000.000)

This is the first race that I am going to have to be very careful on the tires, my GTR seems to be very heavy on them, but then again I just cant resist drifting the last turn.

 

[zuat]

So we have to take the 7pp. Ok, I want mine. I run 1.34's with 590 but run 1.32's with 597. So Homes I want mine for thursday.
