RE: VCRC FRs
I'm the one who logs into the VCRC acct.
(I'm probably going to give access to VCRC members cc570 & RDAardvark soon - so we have people with different schedules able to log onto there.)
@ carracerptp: I tried to FR you from the VCRC yesterday but your FL was full.
It will be accepted shortly.
Is everyone else on the VCRC account now? I tried to send FRs to everyone signed up for the Merc &
BMW races yesterday.
I need to sign up a friend if you don't mind. For the later one hes not on the forum. Phishvincent is his psn. Color- undecided.
I want to make it clear I'm not saying Phishvincent isn't a clean driver or anything. And I'm not saying I'm adverse to meeting new racers!! Not at all.
But I'm kind of hesitant to allow sign-ups who are not on the GTPlanet forum for the following reasons:
- They are more likely to be unaware of the GTP OLR Rules, and that form of track etiquette.
- One of the reasons organized racing works is because everyone knows each other here... you get to know your fellow racers on the forum, not just in online races... and therefore there is more the sense of comraderie and reputation.
- It allows people to communicate before & after the race. When I say "people" - I mainly mean me. I don't have a mic, and I like to keep the need for communication at race event time to the absolute minimum for that reason.
That said, encourage your friend to get on this forum! He's missing out.
RE: hp
I'm up to 221hp (170miles) and my best time was a 2:38. I'm hoping to get my car up to the reported 223hp I've been hearing about.
RE: Nippon Poppy Red
The stock red of Feuerwehrrot is a sort of warm flat red. It's way different than Nippon Poppy, fyi.
(Nippon Poppy is one of my favourite reds!!! 👍)
It comes on one of the pick-up trucks.
RE: Colour Diversity
I do like "colour diversity"
for a couple of reasons.
- Makes watching the replays more interesting. (& I love watching replays!!)
- Gives people a chance to be personalized.
- Helps to know who is behind you - you see the colour, you know who it is!!!
But I would never ban anyone from using the same colour. 👍
I believe BrandonW77 had Feuerwehrrot the other day at practice, and I was a bit surprised! Then he said he was changing colours. I was not surprised. It's not the sort of red I would expect BrandonW77 to choose deliberately. lol
Colours are very personal choices, it seems. I definitely like painting cars. Maybe it's super-geeky. But I think the ability to paint cars and be personalized is really cool.
