I hope I can take part. I'll probably need a refresher as to when the lobby is open and make the appropiate plan for Saturday afternoon.
 
Practise lobby Friday 7pm BST, Race's 7pm BST. From High Speed Ring.

Long overdue, sorry for the delay. The updated championship standings as we head to HSR. Even with changeable weather, it appears to be set to be a mostly dry event.
 
Practise lobby Friday 7pm BST, Race's 7pm BST. From High Speed Ring.
So if I have my time zone conversions correct, the races will start at about 2 pm US Eastern Daylight Time?
 
Cool. All I need now is a few good fellow BMW drivers. :) I may do some practice after the ITCC races tonight.
 
Hi all :) My internet was down last night so I couldnt make practice

Seems ok now though, so hopefully be ok for the race

Looking forward to it, see you all there 👍
 
All set for tonight, bumper field expected as well. Honda's are quick (1:12.5 on average), but still struggling with tyres. Toyota have the same handicap as before and are around 1:12 mark as well.

I'll PSN All of you when the room opens. See you tonight!
 
Go team Lexus! I'm not going to win constructors now but a top 5 in drivers championship after missing first 2 rounds would be great.
 
Incredible Racing:

Race 1 - only 5 starters but I won by 0.1 seconds from driftking
Race 2 - 6 starters, driftking beat me by 0.1 seconds
Race 3 - I was pushed off by driftking fighting for the lead, but was still 2nd

Awesome stuff!


@VR Racing Fan: I was to blame for race 3 pile up, I hit Paul and he spun. Thats what started it.

@driftking:

YOU ARE OFFICIALLY MY RIVAL:

We spent all three races wheel banging and getting sideways at 145mph. I was on dirt at 150mph going for the lead, he was swapping paint with me each corner. Great Stuff!!!! And Team Honda's First win!!!

I see what you mean, he hit the honda and then hit me and I had engine damage and I was hit from an accident earlier in race 3 too as well as being shoved into the barrier on the penultimate lap. I don't see what GTP_akmuq is talking about to be honest as I was clearly within the rules but sorry if I offended him then i am sorry but not for my conduct in any way.

I guess today was not my day after being involved in numerous accidents but I guess that is the way it goes for me.

It happens. But full marks to you for continuing and picking some points up rather than quitting in a huff. 👍
 
I just raced in today's last 2 races, which were great.

For me the third race was by far the best race of the championship, a lot of lead changes, close race

I already watched the replay, there is a lot of stuff for great photos.
 
Sorry guys but I will have to quit the series. The time isn't suitable so I'll be out of your NASCAR series too.:(

VRracingfan: I'm not offended. Anyways I've got pictures of what you were doing an will upload tomorrow. Not asking to get you penalized I'm just showing how erratic your driving can be under defense. Don't want to sound like that guy.


I've got a few pictures of the other racing going on as well.

What happened at the start of race 3? I started pole and got a terrible launch. VRracingfan got the jump on me but then there was at least 1.5 seconds back to third position. It looks a bit strange on the replay.

And I was close behind for the majority of Race 2 with a ringside seat. Maybe Dana White might want to own a racing team on the side. ;)

Sadly, bumping into someone who false-started in Race #3 killed whatever chance I had at a good finish.
 
It was rough out there, but it has been for the whole series so far. At Tsukuba the other week, I was punted
onto the grass and spun in 2 of the 3 races

Still, if thats how it is, its how it is. I will confess though that knowing that probably means I'm not as careful
as I perhaps should be when overtaking

Mind you, its BTCC on tv today. Watch those guys, they'll make us look like saints! :lol:

That's a shame Akmuq...

Sorry about that Race 3 incident, I was struggling with bad tyres and I had just been spun....



I did well in Race 3 considering i was glitched. The music that plays when a race is starting got stuck on loop for the entire event, and at the start I got a penalty depite not moving.

Stilll also Race 2 was good to see the BMW able to hang on to us both. Always like that car....

And driftking, I think it was midway through Race 3 that you got sideways and nearly crashed off of the second turn leading onto the bridge. How the hell did you hold that together?

I reckon this bodes well for two weeks and the Nurburgring. That first hairpin will be very interesting indeed....
 
Just watched race 2 in the BTCC and its as I thought. We're a model of restraint and careful driving in comparison :lol:

Probably on either my part or the car I bumped into.

Now if I can get it to run as fast as you guys and consistently. :(

Any online streams of it?
Help Wanted: Person with mad video editing skills to edit Race 2 of the BTCC Series at High Speed Ring for possible posting on YouTube, Vimeo or any other internet video streaming service. :D

Maybe this'll catch the eyes of a few BTCC Racers, Officials and Fans. ;)
 
I'm sorry if I came across as erratic as that was not my
aim and I thought I was just defending hard. I will still carry on doing what I do though.

Here you go, makes our races look very sedate :D

Fixed. ;)

Not the kind of off Plato or anyone watching the race expected. Let's hope we don't go down to that level.

If there's a race scheduled for this Saturday, I'm scheduled to work until 2 pm US EDT so I'll be home at about 1915 GMT and probably take part in the second and or 3rd races.
