Thursday Fun Night (Re-named)

[Bass Addict]

After sleeping on it, I would encourage racers tonight to try all three cars during the sprint races in the order they prefer. This should promote a mixed field of cars which I hope for the featured race...

I am going to try and get the room opened 90 minutes before the start of the sprint races to give everyone plenty of time to practice all the cars.

 

[dranddad]

Magic Larry, looking forward to it.

Hows the knee doing, My (RA) is playing up in right shoulder trouble moving it, think I've come out in sympathy with you.

I can always opt for one hand steering and auto gears look out

Still a bit sore but getting better...knee brace, pain killer & cold beer again tonight! 👍

I am sorry to hear about you RA Phillip ...I hope it's better later today.

 

[Pigpin13]

Business is fairly slow today. I should be there early

 

[dranddad]

We battle on Larry.

Just did some testing after the update, pit stop time, don't blink you'll miss it. Race Tactics will be good for this one, so tempting going for long haul but with the pit stop now so quick for a splash and dash, it may not pay off.

Just did some testing after the update...

Thanks for the reminder Phillip...👍

 

[dranddad]

Not much of an update, they've just been tinkering with this and that.

@Bass Addict the attachment pics in the post aren't showing up for me, giving a permissions error. Is it possible these originated in a GTP conversation and you've tried linking to those? That would cause them to only be visible in the post to the same people that are in the conversation with you. Or maybe it's something else...

Now introducing your dance partners...I hope to see many fine dance outfits liveries and sexy dance shoes wheels for our event! 👍

Toyota Supra RZ ’97 - FR

Mercedes Benz A45 AMG ’13 - 4WD
****NEEDS THE POWER LEVEL SET TO 97% BEFORE ENTERING OUR ROOM****

Honda Civic ’15 - FF

De Tomaso Pantera '71 - MR

@Gravitron Hi Lucas, that is weird...

I posted a mock up of the event in a conversation with Phillip and then used copy / paste for the post in this thread.

Anyone else not seeing the pictures?

 

[Pigpin13]

I can see it

 

[Gravitron]

I can see it

If you're also in the conversation that Larry mentioned (of the mock up), then that would explain why you can see it here too. If you're not, then I'm confused... but will still urge that taking pics from a GTP conversation and trying to post them in a public thread is not a good idea. Better to re-upload the same pics to the post in question, so that everyone can see them. Or better yet, add them to the GTP Media section at https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/media/ and then post links to those in the post in question. One benefit of this method is that the pics can be displayed full size, whereas pics uploaded as attachments get scaled down in size to 800 pixels wide.

 

[Bass Addict]

Thursday Fun Night
@
Brands Hatch Grand Prix Circuit

Great liveries on display yet again.
The grid is filling week by week.

MikeyLCR

Pulls out all the stops and delivers on the theme

Ruddracer & MrCooper giving no ground at full chat

And it wouldn't be fun without three wise monkeys

"see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil".

​

Great night again at TFN with four different drive trains, watching everyone having to adjust their style at the start of each race as we jumped from one to the next. But in true style did it phase them nope not at all.

Great paint jobs would have been nice to see Bo and Guido, two chaps I think spend a good amount of time on thinking up eye catching liveries.

I must admit this week I had to go for a pre-made download on the AMG thanks to those sharing them.

Four of us meet up afterwards and looked at 4 upcoming events, about the only time I get to find others to bounce ideas off. I'll let the guys comment on those.

Great night thanks.

Phillip.

News:
Upcoming Events updated for next week.

 

[RuddRacer]

I'll let the guys comment on those.

I had a great time but I did not realize there would be a test, I forgot to take notes .

Looking forward to the Gr.2 race next week!

 

[Cobani]

14th February @ 9.00pm GMT

Tokyo Expressway South Outer Loop

Gr2

614bhp group not the 494 Group

Looks like a fast one! I’ll be prepping whatever car I have standing in the garage.

@MikeyLCR Do you have those TNF decals shared?

 

[MikeyLCR]

@Cobani yes indeed shared it with friends with tags tfn and funnight just sent you a friend request

 

[dranddad]

14th February @ 9.00pm GMT

Tokyo Expressway South Outer Loop

Gr2

Tom's / Raybrig / Motul / + Xanavi Nismo 494bhp. Room set to BoP so you can use them all.

Edit: There are more in the Gr.2 494 / 500 bhp Group that can be used.

A Valentines Special you don't want to miss, send me your love cards.

If it so happens this week, members can't make this because they have to get brownie points with their loved ones, we can re-run following or later week.

14th February @ 9.00pm GMT
Details to follow.
​

Room set to BoP

Cars Default no Tuning.

​

Race one: -- Sprint 5 laps = 7.25 mins fastest first.

Guido Celebratory Race

Race Two: -- Main 10 laps = 14.5 mins Reverse Grid plus tyre ware 15 / fuel 8 usage + pit.
Race three: - Sprint 5 laps = 7.25 mins Slowest first

Tyres Racing Hard

Tyres 15x and Fuel 8x this is for main race only.

Total 29 minutes race time + a pit stop.

I have 4 Gr2 cars Tom's 614bhp / Raybrig 603bhp / Motul 612bhp
The Xanavi nismo GT-R '08 is only 494bhp but with BoP on it can also be used giving four cars, if your garage is a little short.

You can change cars between races if you wish, but race will start 5 minutes after the last race.

A short test Video.

 

[Cobani]

Shakedown completed.

 

[dranddad]

Great livery Bo but then I wouldn't expect anything less from you

After the times you were putting in testing last night, you'll be at the back, give everybody else a chance 👍

Thanks MikeyLCR (Mike) for your help testing great company and ideas as always, man your getting faster and faster

It was nice to see GTP_Dutchy join us yesterday 👍

 

[dranddad]

Doddering old tart, who told you, you could paint. go try again and see if you can paint the rest.

Well I went back to try again, looks like I still missed a few bits. Maybe do another and use one for each race.

My last go, let the celebrations begin

Thanks Mike TFN.

Thanks Eric, if anyone finds links that don't work as they should, let me know.

Small change to race one for TFN ^ in OP

My first attempt with the Epson NSX I missed a large area of the shell due to a misfiring spray gun, so I went back and tried again. Without much success on a Lexus, just seemed to come out in patches.

 

[Bass Addict]

Real life just reared its ugly head and I am out of pocket tomorrow...sorry! I was so looking forward to this combo and TFN in general...

Have fun guys and see you next week!

 

[dranddad]

I was expecting the odd hen pecked this week given the date, just kidding better half.

Hope you both enjoy Larry.

We can always revisit any combo if members wish too. As long as they enjoy them, why not.
