The World's Most Okay Tour - Laguna Seca 200 Miles (31 Dec. 2019, 12PM PST)

10x tyre wear on SS? Erm... can I use off road tyres? I think I'm gunna be spending most of the race on the grass anyways........

As Pigems said, the wear/use of tire and fuel is about the same. I was testing it with the Cobra, and it feels just right... until the last lap or two.

Less than 24h to go! Aside from power/weight, any other adjustments? gearing?

I agree, I’m sticking with the Cobra. MR Cars are super dicey with this combo.

I’m stoked for the race tonight!! Good Luck everyone! :

I'm taking the Cobra as well! I figured that it'd be nice to use an American classic car!

 

[Qyn]

I have many spots open haha. There's not that many of us signed up, so we'll resort to picking up random people when I open the lobby haha

Still got slots available?

 

[Pigems]

Qualifying start in 2 hours right?

 

[Qyn]

I think practice starts in 2 1/2 hours. Qualifying starts at 7:50 our time. Race starts at 8 AST/EST if I'm not mistaken.

If there is room for a much loved but rarely driven Ferrari I'll join you guys on the grid.

 

[Qyn]

Well that was good for practice . Now I remember why I stay away from race A. I still can't race on street tires (got some work to do). Can only imagine it's gonna get worse when the track gets wet.

Had a great time watching you guys lap me over and over again . Hope I didn't get in anyone's way .

Your car looked massive compared to everybody else's (If I'm remembering right and you were in the Camaro). How close did you get to the minimum weight?

Lol you and me both! @Mistah_MCA , now aren't you glad you had ghosting on ? Although it was pretty disconcerting having @Pigems drive through me on the chicane .

I think the little Jag was fairly even with the Cobras, but with my driving it just wasn't happening. My experience with the Cobra in the past was that it was happiest sliding through the corners. I think the Jag is the same, but instead of a smooth slide I was getting too sideways and scrubbing massive speed, and with the standard gearing there just wasn't enough momentum to maintain the higher gear.

Sorry about that, I was planning to go around but then we got close to the chicane and I ran out of room to do so. I Hope I didn’t mean mess you up.

No prob... you didn't have anywhere else to go and waiting for a ghost just means the guy behind you has an opportunity to catch up. @GOTMAXPOWER seemed to enjoy gleefully driving through me.... 3 times . I had predicted I'd be lapped 6 times, so I guess I wasn't doing too bad . I was expecting @Qyn to get it together, catch up and pass me. Should have stuck with the XJ13 plan bro .

I ain't afraid of no ghost

 

[Qyn]

Yep, chose the Camaro lol. It was no where near 1700 lbs, and handled like a 🤬 barge .

Lol you and me both! @Mistah_MCA , now aren't you glad you had ghosting on ? Although it was pretty disconcerting having @Pigems drive through me on the chicane .

Ahhhh yes.....the little details. Wish I had paid attention as I didn't realize ghosting was on. I was swerving out of the way trying to keep from being "that guy" that ruined the race everyone had anticipated for a month . Still had a blast though.

I think I was dow 7 laps at the end. There was a point where I did get a handle on the old bucket when you had an off or 2. Unfortunately for me, right when you took your cruise through the pasture, I did too . Everytime we got back on the black stuff your little car would take off like a rocket . I saw the writing on the wall by lap 2 or 3 ("this is gonna be a looooong hour") .

For some reason I couldn't join with the XJ13 . Tried to make adjustments to power and weight accordingly, but something was still off. So I jumped back in the garage and just grabbed something.

 

[Mistah_MCA]

Anyone wanna do 30 minutes on rainy Red Bull Ring?

I'll be happy to set that up (with whatever car class you guys want) and have it happen soon after the Area 51 race

 

[Invisigoth]

So... the month is ticking down. Have we worked out what this mysterious Area 51 race is gunna be?

2500hp Tomahawk on CH’s at Big Willow.

2500hp Tomahawk on CH’s at Big Willow.

Oh gosh, no hahaha. At least not on those tires lol.

They'll be 20 minute races across three different tracks, since these are just Meme Races.

 

[Mistah_MCA]

Updated the first post!

 

[Invisigoth]

Iffin I'm reading it right, the first race is midnight PST which I believe is 5pm the same day my time. I'll be there.

Yup, midnight PST!

 

[Mikhail24RD]

Well this gives me a reason to make liveries on the Tomahawk now.

Time to save some aliens everyone!

 

[Pigems]

Which Tomahawk is it? Or are all three of them allowed?
