Race day! Tagging those who signed up and I haven't seen post in a while or at all, just as a reminder. I will have the room open around 11:45 PDT / 2:45 EDT / 6:45 UTC. Practice will go for ~25 minutes, then a 10 minute qualifying session, then the first 20 minute race. We'll take a ~10 minute break and then do the second 20 minute race with reverse grid. Remember we are using the moto chicane.

If anyone has any questions, let me know.

i don't think i can't race GTP_ES VLN took a lot out of me sorry

 

[Suzumiya]

I won't make it today, sorry.

 

[CaroFDoom]

CRAP.
This looks interesting but I think I'm a bit too late...
(I'm not even interested in the prizes)

You have about 10 minutes to make the first race.

You have about 10 minutes to make the first race.

Sadly, I can't build cars that quickly. I'll try though.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Got DC'd out of my own room.

Anyway, while I am sitting here waiting for race 2 to start, I am thinking we should shorten the races to 15 minutes each. Yay or Nay?

Yay.

 

[Suzumiya]

Eh, not much of a difference for me. So yay!

 

[GTRacer22]

Yay.

 

[CaroFDoom]

At least I had popcorn last 11 mins of race 2.

(Decent popcorn too)

I think the 20 mins is fine.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I think the 20 mins is fine.

3 vs 1 so far. We'll try 15 minutes next weekend and if we think it needs to be changed back we can do that.

Thanks to everyone that showed up today. I know it looked like we were missing a bunch of people but I know there were a few that said they couldn't make it this week and then there's a couple I know that probably just forgot since they are not the type of people to flake out. So attendance should be much better next week. Hopefully connection issues are better, although they were a lot better than they have been in the past so that's a good sign.

Points standings can be found here

@Manasseh257NSX was deducted 2 points for using the wrong gearbox in Race 1.

Also, did anyone save the replay from race 2? I need fast laps and total laps run. Forgot to save the replay.

It might sound strange saying this, but thank you. Not for the deduction, but the fact that you enforce rules and carry out the penalties for breaking them, a lot of series I raced in didn't do that. Even though I fessed up to it and admitted to using the wrong gearbox, it's still good to know that this is a series that enforces its regulations.

No, it's more like DNF (Stupidity)

I would have figured it out anyway. I typically go through race replays and check for odd sounds (aka whiney gear boxes) or shifting points to make sure everyone is compliant.

To be fair you joined last minute so there was not much time to get the car running 100%. But the whole mechanical thing is just to make it seem more realistic. I put the same thing down for people that DC.

 

[Andil]

Balls. Forgot, sorry! Also wouldn't have been able to make it anyway, not been home today - hope you guys had some good races though.

Will try to be there next week.

True. but I'd rather tell you straight up anyway. It leaves a good impression and draws the assumption that I am trying to race fair rather than you finding out for yourself and thinking I'm a sneaky/cheating driver. lol

Knew it!

All good. 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

Nobody saved Race 2 replay?

 

[lxmmy]

Nobody saved Race 2 replay?

No unfortunately. I thought you had the replay.

 

[CodeRedR51]

No unfortunately. I thought you had the replay.

I forgot. = me

That was an epic finish too, would have been nice to see it from an outside perspective.

I've got the replay. I'll get it to you shortly.

@lxmmy made it tough on me there. Nice job. Hard to pass on the outside at Tsukuba, but I tried anyway.

 

[msgt-sd]

You can get the replays for Race 1 and 2 here.

@R1600Turbo

 

[CodeRedR51]

Thanks! Will download when I get home.

What did everyone think about using the moto chicane at Tsukuba? Not many people use it and I like to throw it in there from time to time in my series to mix things up. I don't know why PD can't just give it to us as a track, all they have to do is throw some barriers across the track there to force people around them...

 

[Andil]

I almost certainly won't be able to make the race this week, just a heads up, sorry.

 

[lxmmy]

I just noticed the Suzuka race is on the same day of the JGTC 6 Hours of Suzuka race.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Just a quick heads up, since I saw some different number plates in the first set of races I thought I would point this out. We are using Base Type E and Typeface Type A. My fault for not putting this in the OP, it will be there now.



Also, tagging as a reminder for tomorrow's race for those I haven't heard from:

@Ramalhinho91 @TNR_KING_FILO @BayneHamlin1121 @Manasseh257NSX @GTRacer22 @TRL_Importlife @msgt-sd @All Your Base @Nicktune @CaroFDoom @Danny99

And those I have heard from that can't make it just to confirm:

@Andil

Can't make it?

 

[TNR_KING_FILO]

Should be able to make it might be tired after the GTP N24 though

 

[GTRacer22]

Still away on vacation. Might be leaving for home tomorrow morning, but I'm not sure.

I can make it, it was just coincidence.
