Thursday Fun Night (Re-named)

[oldguy58]

Not going to make it tonight. Customer thinks finishing up his sim is more important than my racing.

Have fun in the dirt:tup:

Very impressive, does it come in lego form too. Someone has too much money, sorry to not see you last night Scott, it was great fun, maybe next re-visit.

Here is just a little bit.

Great bit of action from one Mini Cooper race
​

Thanks for a fantastic GTFN night

Some outstanding Liveries on show, all adds to the entertainment


And a look at an up-coming event back at Tsukuba​

 

[Argon]

That was a great night of fun, would be good to run that again for those that missed it.

 

[dranddad]

Sorry been busy all weekend I'm well behind.

Here is a link to next weeks. I'll update here as soon as poss.

Barcelona -------- Subaru Isle of Man racing hard plus moto-bike chicane rules

Moto-Bike chicane rules.

Lap 1st and last lap, no chicane all other laps you must use the motor bike chicane.


Exceptions 1) If you find yourself in last place in any of the race laps. ie lap 2 onward, you may miss out the chicane, but this only applies to the last place.

2) On any pit stops in lap and out lap only. You may miss the chicane.

3) When missing the chicane, the car in the Chicane has priority. As you can see him but he can’t see you coming.


Short sprint and feature race, I'll update later, sorry been busy all weekend well behind sorting.

 

[Renrag39]

I fully expect to make it tomorrow!

*Note- My certainty is subject to change, acts of a cruel pantheon of gods, fruit invasions and exchanging filthy lucre for significant portions of my lifetime.

 

[Pigpin13]

I will not be able to make it this week. Good luck everyone.

Nice to hear from Andy, sorry you can't make it Joe. Enjoy whatever your up too

 

[Pigpin13]

Sorry Mike, overtime calls.

 

[Argon]

Sorry Mike, overtime calls.

We'll keep your spot warm Joe

 

[oldguy58]

I'll be attending.

No idea where the motorbike chicane is but I guess I'll figure it out.

Sorry you can't make it Joe!

At the end of the back straight. Instead of taking the sharp left just keep going straight on through some bollards and it loops you back 👍

 

[oldguy58]

Ok, even dummer question. I'm either blind or stupid, quite possibly both.

Which Subaru?
Can't find anywhere that says.

Subaru WRX STI Isle of Man attack car ‘16. For reference, it’s the one that whistles when you let out of it.

Subaru WRX STI Isle of Man attack car ‘16.

I think it's a group x car.
I'll also be there this evening.
See you soon Joe.

Is this it Mike?

 

[dranddad]

I like it.

I was thinking of the one before that on the left as you round the right-hander at the beginning of that back straight. I know it's early but I've just got to load GTS now and have a look.



Yeah, I like it.

Makes about 2 seconds ish per lap difference which is about right. If you have an off and you're at the back of the pack, helps you to close back up.

 

[dranddad]

Here is an enthusiastic lap taking in the MotoGP layout and you'll see the Chicane used.

Follow the youtube link.

Installing the recent update and then I will make an appearance...

 

[dranddad]

Nice to see Eric last night and welcome back Larry and Mike. 👍


Few pictures from last night, a re-visit to Paddy Hopkirk for Larry and Mike and Barcelona

Man this car was hard work. the Chicane made for an interesting race, have to try it again on a long race with an easier car to drive.

 

[oldguy58]

No where other than here at GTfn can you have this much fun!!!!

This shouldn't be to bad, I've got it....

I've got it...

I don't got it....

What a blast

 

[dranddad]

Thanks Scott nice pictures of the action. makes all the difference to the thread having pictures taken through other eyes.

I'm at a bit of a loss for next week, the brain is getting a block for the combo. I've added some new tested combo's to the upcoming list here
Please take a look I've placed numbers at the start of each, if you like the look of one or two for the next combo, put the numbers here.

You'll notice I've been looking at some E-Racing too.

But we can always run any of your combo's you have in mind.

Thanks Phillip.

 

[Argon]

2 or 16

 

[geeTeye]

8, 15 - on Autopolis or South Loop, 16

 

[oldguy58]

From the proposed list, 8 or 16. Or 18.

 

[dranddad]

Good thinking Scott "This one is not on any list. Mazda Atenza Gr4 at Brands Hatch GP. I know...this was last week's wrs TT but think it would result in a fun race combo." As we were at Brands Hatch on the 2nd May we'll visit this one next week 6th June.

Sounds like this week is number 16

Sainte Croix A II ------------- Any Gr4 car RH - BoP change cars if you wish.

30th May room open 19:00

Mixed night of racing so you can change cars as many times as you like, maybe a feature race in there too at some point.
Everything is default on RH with BoP for the track.​

 

[Renrag39]

Goodwood...

 

[dranddad]

You were not wrong Andy.
