TPC International GT. REMAINING ROUNDS CANCELLED.

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Yeah that Lexus needs an intake restrictor STAT. I was in his slipstream and he was still pulling away...

Yeah, the Lexus probably needs readjusting, it has a lot of power but weighs too much, I think it is the worst car to drive on the whole grid, especially when you factor in tyre wear. Next round with all the ballast (I guess I'm leading now?) it's going to handle like a shopping trolley with a couple of busted wheels.

Monza always leads to aggressive racing, in my experience. Probably not helped when half the lobby are Brits who've been raised watching BTCC.

I think there was a bit more contact this race than last time but nothing malicious or too serious. The 2nd chicane was a mess for the first few laps, I got pushed into a reset on lap 2 by one of the McLaren's and had a couple of nudges from Kermit's Jag later on but I've raced him enough to know it's nothing malicious. I like the sportsmanship you get in these league races, the Hyundai accidentally ran me off the road at Ascari so slowed down to let me pass on the pit exit, you wouldn't get that in the FIA or dailies where everybody is in it for the win .

The end of the race was great, the Lexus and Corvette were the best cars this race and @El_Beardo put up a really good fight for the win, I think it was 1 tenth at the line. The next few rounds are going to be a bloodbath for this car, with the reverse grids we should see pack racing similar to that at Brands Hatch.

I think I got told off about 600 times for apologizing after dodgy moves at Brands

I believe they gave you a 1 race ban for it

Beardo came into my home and smashed my hand with a boot. Unbelievable.

 

[Kermit_2142]

Yh apologies for any taps from me. I wasn’t expecting to be racing today so hadn’t practiced. Throw in reverse grid, car differences, people trying to bleed pens off and braking early, slip, lag and ping pong physics, it wasn’t my best performance but I was really just trying not to kill anyone .
That being said it was good fun and I expect without the bs pens the race would’ve been a lot easier and closer for everyone. Congrats to @GOTMAXPOWER on the double .

Can confirm. I used this boot. It's a good boot.

This guy.

Had no idea he was there. But was definitely aware that he tried to pass me going into, and eventually did, exiting pit road. Track limits might have been a bit relaxed too.

The Ascari contact might have been partly because your using cockpit now. I have similar issues sometimes, your blind on the r/h side with only radar to help you out and it’s not exactly easy to look at when your mid corner. If will probably take some getting used to if your switching from another viewpoint, I have always used it and it still catches me out occasionally 👍.

As for pit lane overtakes -

Don’t take anything that happens on track here to heart, we love hard racing (some more than others ) but we’ve all raced together long enough to know that nobody is out to get anyone and that sometimes the wider skill gap between players is taken into account .

Just Monza things - see most of you next week for Super GT 👍.

That Lexus is BIG!

Loved the two wide at Ascari moves. Top replay!

@R1600Turbo @NoStopN @DelboyD @Adam Barber @RacingGrandpa @Kermit_2142 @MaxAttack @PaoloMX @GOTMAXPOWER @Pigems @GT5Apex @Tea_Leaves @Granadier @GTP_Guido @Michelin Man @Drex124 @Timm Sheehan

I know a few people hate the wet weather physics in GTS. So, poll added . .

 

[Pigems]

DRY!! 👍

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

The Lexus is going to be hopeless in either, I'll vote wet and hope others like it even less.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'm fine with the evening wet option. We can use intermediates and the grip isn't terrible.

 

[GTP_Guido]

Wet 👍

It‘s only one wet race for the season

 

[Granadier]

Voted wet because I’m a sadist.

 

[Pigems]

Contact pens won’t be on in the wet race right?

 

[Adam Barber]

Contact pens won’t be on in the wet race right?

Why, what are you planning on doing?

 

[El_Beardo]

Contact pens won’t be on in the wet race right?

They should be off, anyways

 

[NoStopN]

I'm singing in the rain, just singing in the rain.....

 

[Pigems]

Why, what are you planning on doing?

I just don’t want someone spinning out in the wet and giving me a pen, like in Sport Mode is all.

 

[El_Beardo]

Well, this was fairly one sided. Pretty strong feelings from a few either side (not on here)

So, potential compromise to stop the dry crowd from rioting, while giving the wet crowd a chance to shine.

Quali and race 1 - Heavy wet.
Race 2 - Dry.

 

[DelboyD]

Wet. Let’s mix it up.

 

[Tea_Leaves]

Group 4 and rain is a unique combination for me so... Wet although I'm fine with the above compromise. 👍

 

[Kermit_2142]

Rigged vote!!!!!

 

[Timm Sheehan]

Rigged vote!!!!!

I am sensing some mail-in voting fraud going on here!

The question was for the feature race

 

[NoStopN]

We have 8 other round for the dry crowd. I normally don't do sport mode wet races & I'm even voting to leave the skies crying.
