Very sad news

 

[R35 SKYLIN3]

Saw on YouTube.. That was nasty

 

[jonzster]

The clip I saw was in slow mo, don't wanna ever see that again

 

[R35 SKYLIN3]

Yeah.. Was horrible.. His helmet just slid off

 

[STEG-13]

The clip I saw was in slow mo, don't wanna ever see that again

Yeah mate, don't know if I will ever lose the image of him lying on track like that.

Just found out that Marco Simoncelli died at Sepang.....

It has been a very sad couple of weeks for motorsport indeed

Yes it certainly has. First Dan and now Marco... It's tragic. R.I.P. Marco. The nature of Moto GP motorcycle racing in general is different from F1, one can't be "concealed" within the vehicle in the same way as in a car. When commenting about Dan's crash, I read that Mark Webber said he feels safer on F1. I can understand him, if one compare how many drivers who have died in IRL/CART since 1994 (when the last driver died in F1 as we all know) then it's quite obvious that F1 has been more successful in creating a safer environment for the drivers than other motorsport series. The only things that can actually kill drivers in F1 nowadays are loose parts hitting the drivers in the head like tyres or parts (like what happened with Massa). I heard that FIA is conducting tests with closed cockpits, it wouldn't surprise me if F1 cars will look similar to the Red Bull X2010/X2011 in less than 10 years with closed cockpits and the tyres encapsuled.

Cheers Toffe, yeah been mucking about in Photoshop again Great race the other night, really good track Steg made. R35 did an awesome job for the win, you didn't do to badly either, if that's you being unfocused you got me worried for the rest of the season lol.

It is a great version of Spa, it's kept me up playing a lot more of late as well, will have to get together and race there again sometime 👍

Yeah the lighting does look really good on Steg's track, you can see the detail in the track surface, looks amazingly real.

Yeah, we must race more at Spa sometime jonzster! I raced a couple of SuperGT GT500 races today and yesterday and it was great. Spa is all about handling, MR cars like Honda NSX really have an advantage, they can change direction so fast. Spa really brings out the best of GT5's physics engine!

And btw, think I forgot to say, but big congrats to your win R35. You were incredibly quick, even in the latter stages on the race. You were simply the fastest in this race. 👍

 

[Toffe]

Right everybody, apart from the first two teams ( they were requested )

Every other team was drawn at random.

I sorted you guys out into who I believe to be number one drivers based on race result and my experience racing with you and drew a team mate out the hat (pocket).

If you hate your team mate, personally, for whatever reason then now is the time to say

Otherwise these are the teams we will be rocking for the TVR Series.

1.R35-SKYL1N3/Jamesybograt/ The Flying Scotsmen
2.Sicwhitt/sebastiangurka/ Team Massiv
3.RCS_Carts43/RCS_MrLayVon/ TBD
4.Granddriver/Incredibleculk/ TBD
5.Jonzster/ Haigis/ TBD
6.Joshua1994/ Loskey1/ TBD
7.GrayFox32/ Jackargent/ TBD
8.GTP_Toffe/ Steg_GT/ TBD



Add your team mate and start discussing which colour you want as your team colour this season.

All drivers named first are number 1 drivers and must use that number on their car.

All drivers named second are number 2 drivers and must use that number on their car.

I hope you are all happy with your teams and I look forward to seeing you guys at Trial Mountain

This looks good, nice to have you as teammate Steg.👍 Last season many people quit, however I had reliable Barn as teammate and I have a feeling I wont have to worry about Steg quitting this season We will have to decide team name and colour later Steg.👍

[R35 SKYLIN3]

[STEG-13]

Nice one, remember not to put a turbo on it and de-tune, strictly forbidden

 

[R35 SKYLIN3]

De tune what it?

 

[STEG-13]

The R8

I think it comes with a stage 1 turbo, don't add a stage 3 and reduce power to fit the regulations.

Going to be practicing with Seb shortly, feel free to join us mate

 

[R35 SKYLIN3]

So 563 pp is the only limit?

 

[STEG-13]

Yeah 563 and no added Turbo or Superchargers
