Thursday Fun Night (Re-named)

[dranddad]

Oh my, it has come around to this.

Inspired by Joe (pigpin) Endurance of the Karts.
​

There is not a lot to say about this, karts are default.

Two 25 minute races.

Every 5 laps the front 3 must take a drive-through in the pits.
So end of lap 5, 10, 15, 20 and so on.

If you do happen to miss the drive-through (Like I tend too) wait on the far left at the pit exit lane.

Now we've picked a wide track, so you should have loads of room for side by side, please remember to leave 2 meters safe Coronavirus distance so we don't spread the love.

In testing even after losing it big time at the start of a 16 lap race, Terry was able to catch back up by the end of the last few laps, so keep going you never know.

Come with your on, and enjoy the laughs.

Hi Joe...I am pretty sure the room will open at the top of the hour - 2pm CDT.

 

[dranddad]

Just had dinner so I'll be on the case

 

[Jamie duerden]

Great to see TFN back on form last night, top racing with top fellas 👍

 

[dranddad]

How come I never get this youtube replay right, lost the first part of the race. I have shared the full race on GT Sport for anyone that wants to watch it.

Also shared other races from the night @ TFN.

Thanks to Joe & Larry for the great race in the Karts, glad we agreed just the one 25 minute race it felt more than an Endurance. Brilliant race, shame Jarrod was having problems he was going well at times.

Sorry to Scott for the untimely tap at brands, I touched the grass on the inside and came too far across-track on recovery.

 

[oldguy58]

Great night of racing guys 👍
Nothing like a couple of 10 lap sprints in the karts to ensure that your good and sore before the feature

Phillip, no worries, things happen

 

[Drummer79]

Good to catch up with guys again, wish I could race more often, always have the best time with the "mature" racing league!!!

 

[oldguy58]

When I watch the replay of the kart race Phillip posted he seems to have a unique advantage.
His driver is the only one that visually leans into the corners.
This deserves and investigation by the stewards.
Strike that, I forgot he is the chief steward.

Seriously though I'm curious why that is.

 

[dranddad]

I did notice that Scott, I could say it may have been Marijn Kremers driving and not this old fart.
I must say it was a brilliant race with loads of action, was a shame Mike must of had a mishap towards the end, as the last 3 or 4 laps were anybody's race and would have been good to see mike in the mix at the end.

The idea of the drive-through sure brought the pack back together in the closing stages as it was meant too.

Larry has offered to host again this Thursday for the second round Gr3 at Suzuka in the series race.

Suzuka Circuit -------------------------------------------- Group 3 BoP (RH)12 laps + 3 Joker T/F 10x/5x

Just in case you miss this;

Extracted from the GTSport site today...

The following is a list of some changes that will be implemented in 'Sport' mode with the next 'Gran Turismo Sport' update.

■ Slipstream
・The effect of the slipstream will be reduced.

■ Fuel Consumption & Tyre Wear Rate for Qualifying & Final
・It will be possible to set ‘Fuel Consumption’ and ‘Tyre Wear’ rates separately in the Qualifying Time Trials and Finals of the FIA Gran Turismo Championships.

■ BoP (Balance of Performance)
・Tyre wear adjustments for Gr.4 FF cars (Front-engine/ Front-wheel-drive)
・Handling adjustments for all Gr.2, Gr.3, and Gr.4 cars;
・Fuel consumption rate adjustments for all Gr.2, Gr.3, and Gr.4 cars;

As a result, the difference in fuel efficiency will be reduced among these vehicle types.

■ Penalties
・Adjustments implemented to improve the penalty judgement algorithm.

■ Manufacturer Affiliation Contracts
・It will be possible to change the selected manufacturer affiliation contract at the start of the new Series, beginning on Saturday, 25 April.

■ 'Star Player' Status
・In addition to those drivers who were awarded the status on 16 March, top-ranking drivers from Stage 1 (which is currently being held as an Exhibition Series) will also receive the Star Player status for the new Series beginning on Saturday, 25 April.

Thank you for your continued support and please continue to enjoy Gran Turismo Sport!

Sounds promising.
There is no date when to expect this, but i guess it will come before the new "new" season. So hopefully in April.

Also a hint on an update:

 

[dranddad]

Thanks for that info Mike.

More changes just to confuse me more, wheres the new button to make old farts go faster I keep requesting
