Thursday Fun Night (Re-named)

[oldguy58]

Thanks Joe , started out testing the fittipaldi at Interlagos, then got your invite and from there turned into a night of fun.

Great company as always from pokey, oldguy, MikeyLCR and yourself. Still don't know if we sorted anything for that oval, but was good fun trying.

Bonus is we get to try again.

TFN 7th March event.

We did find out that we can run in opposite directions at the same time on the oval

Mr Cooper voted Fuji, so off to Fuji we go.

7th March @ 19:00 GMT

Fuji Inter.. Speedway ---------- Nissan GT-R Nismo '17 Straight race Default but Drafty - Draughty Sport Medium tyres.​

A night of Sprint races.

5 or 6 laps sprints.

As this car is something else to stop once you've managed to get it going, I think a night of short sprints is the order.
Nissan GT-R Nismo '17 4WD
Car is default straight from the showroom

Tyres Sport Medium with no wear. (can you imagine trying to stop this on half worn tyres)
Fuel no usage.

Lobby set to tuning prohibited.
Slipstream set to strong.
Mixed grid settings.

As this car is a pain, you've got it going now how do you stop it. If that's not bad enough getting it to turn after you've managed to scrub some speed off is something else.

Going to set slipstream to strong here just to improve drafting at the end of the pit straight, If you can manage to get bumper to bumper out of the last turn, at the end of the race, it could be interesting who makes the line first.

Looking forward to seeing one or two new/old faces this week. Also looking forward to see what Japaneses theme liveries you gents come up with.

This is a little different to week one in the Abarth 500 @ Tsukuba

First lap and last lap everyone misses the Chicane.

Lap 2 onward, first 4 places must use the chicane.

The pit in lap miss the chicane / Pit out lap miss the chicane

Rules the same as week one, the car in chicane has right of way.

Tyres

Nice little practise with Larry and Chris @ Autopolis in the Porsche Catman Gr4 fine tuning the settings ready for the Porsche SuperMug race, as most of us are well past competing in the SuperCup event.

[RuddRacer]

I may not make it on Thursday after all. I forgot this is "spring break" for my collage and high school sons so there is a lot of activity going on in the house this week.

 

[dranddad]

Enjoy the time with the family Eric. 👍

This weeks OP

 

[Bass Addict]

I am looking forward to TFN...

A friend of mine will be joining us today - his name is Matt. Matt loves cars but he has never played any racing game! I gave him orientation last week and we will practice for an hour or so today before joining the lobby but Matt is going to make mistakes today in a Gr.1 car! Please give him a wide berth...

Matt will be racing on my wife's account - PSN: tararose-gt and I hope to have him in chat as well. I will be curious how my connection holds up with two of us on simultaneously!

My wife's account only has one Gr.1 car so Matt will be in the Sauber-Mercedes...

 

[Pigpin13]

I managed to get a full day off. So will be on early.

Good news! Look forward to welcoming another addict

 

[dranddad]

Larry I would grind a Mil and buy him the 4wd Bugatti, very easy car to handle on Suzuka. you could always give him your setup and you have the Sauber-Mercedes...

I'll be at the back in the Nissan LM so he'll have lots of company from me.

Looking forward to having him join us.

[dranddad]

Great night @ Suzuka in Gr1 cars plus the introduction of the moto-bike chicane made for a lot of places changing.

First the grid walk.

Pigpin13 off to a flying start from 3rd on the grid in a green bomber

A somewhat distracting view

Larry backing all the fuel companies, but that didn't make the fuel last any longer.

Then we come to the mishap Mike had with the tin of Dulux.

NaketWookie Chris trying not to get distracted by the onslaught of glaring colour

Mr Cooper brought his own snacks in the shape of a Toblerone

A new entry to the madhouse was Matt sporting a first-class handle.

And I just had to get one in of the tyre eater, FF 604bhp Nismo LM.

Now a few shots from the race which I've shared if you care to download and watch.

Thanks gents, look forward to your pic's and comments.

 

[Bass Addict]

Great pics Phillip!

Great fun as always...the moto bike chicance seems to be a winner every time we use it.

Catalunya maybe the next one for us to clear the dust from.

Thanks to Mike we have a new decal logo shared you can squeeze into your liveries.
