I'm not sure if I'll be able to race today. I've got some chores to do. But, I will join you guys for the next three rounds.
 
Races starting 4 mins... remember you can still enter other races if you miss race 1.
 
Good racing, but sorry akmuq, understeer got best of me again...

Nah, it's ok.:)

Race 3 was proper touring car fun. A bit of touching but nothing excessive and DiegoC took my advice.

Thanks Diego:tup:

Sorry for everyone having to listen to my bad mood.
 
Great racing tonight. Everyone tried there best to keep it a fair race. Gotta love the odd bit of scraping the paint and side nudging at 100 mph+
 
Next round is a real Honda track. Turns 2 and the final turn will be key to the Hondas performance. I'm not sure which car has the straight line speed but I know toyota's are good at accelerating, so they should come out of the second hairpin good.
 
The races we had yesterday were a lot of fun.

First of all I want to apologize to SuperShoulden, at the first race I hit you at the Dunlop turn, I missed the braking zone, I wait a bit to give the position back, but you were far behind.

About the late braking I drive that way when trying to pass or defending my position (remember Juan Montoya and Michael Schumacher at A1 Ring in Austria). For the next races I’ll try to reduce it.

Now my comments, the races were full of fun, overtaking at the first 6 laps in each, then the cars started to loose performance as always.

Yesterday the Toyotas were fast but not as dominant as in the first event. Today was the day of the mazda team, the Hondas were really bad, and in 10 laps our tires wore to half to more.

It was good to see new people on the track; I hope they keep on the series until the end. Hopefully at next round more people show up.

I’ll send to Furin some pictures of today’s second race.

From now I have to think in the High Speed Ring set up as my car is struggling a lot with the front tires (by the car and by my driving technique, I am very aggressive on the tires when braking and turning)

Yeah tyre wear was the issue. Nurburgring GP/D and Rome will be the real bad places for the car but as we saw earlier the Honda owned sector two and it seemed faster then other cars in the final turn as well.

Its good on the fast turns.
Also, my pole setup as I remember it.
Everything stock except for what is below
Aero:Max front and rear( changed to min front for better tyre wear in second race)
Trans: 130 MPH (Just about touches limiter with a draft before the final turn)
Torque: Acceleration sensitivity:49
Ride height: -10 both sides
I raised the spring value as well but I don't know where I put it.
Note: That setup was literally a 2 minute guess. It was my first time driving the car. The setup could no doubt be improved.

So, is it NASCAR next week and TOCA the week after? Or TOCA next week? I'm looking forward to both.👍
 
NASCAR next week. My photo's and championship standings coming soon, feel free to post any you have as well. Just to note they be delayed a little as I am away all week...

And I was loving it out there, when my tyres lasted...

It was very entertaining with Tsukuba being so narrow, but the first few laps of Race 2 I was laughing at the sheer insanity of it. Great stuff, photo's should be good.

Also to make the schedule a bit more compact I'm thinking of removing Suzuka East and Deep Forest Raceway. Also, Maybe change Rome for Autumn Ring or Madrid? I want a track close to that Macau feel.

And a final point - I may be able to move for next two weeks the event Sunday instead of Saturday, My NASCAR could go Saturday, TOCA Sunday.

It was a fun race, the first 5 places were this close for 10 laps.

Nice, I have no problems racing on sunday too.
Fine by me as long as I can make the SuperGT races. ;)

I cant make it sunday before 8 pm. Please could we keep it Saturday.
 
I'm a bit worried about the recent attacks by Anonymous on PSN. Every time I log in, about 10-20 minutes later it tells me an error has occured and that I've been signed out. Should we postpone rounds 7/8/9 until all of this clears up?
 
Heres some photos from the race last Saturday.

My laptop's dead (Borrowing someone else's at the moment), so I can't post anything else. Saturday, High Speed Ring Change Weather, though from my experience it might be mostly dry...
