VCRC vintage & low power :: Sunday 3pm GMT / 10am US EST

[CC570]

Yeah so after our test races, at @CC570's suggestion... at the Nurburgring... I have to say I was impressed at how fun it was.
I'm thinking I can do around an hour of that. 6 laps?

Certainly it should turn out to be the most orderly trip through Flugplatz ever seen.
The car hits the limiter a couple of times on the track - but usually only briefly, and it should actually make for closer racing as the draft won't be as much benefit with the limiter on the fast parts.

Also the most noticeable time it hit the limiter for me was after the peak of the hill heading down into the Aremburg right hand turn... which for some people (@daddyo845) might be a boon & cut down on the probability of a beached cars there.

I'm thinking maybe enforce 1 pit stop?

Discuss.

Damage heavy? I could see enforcing one pit stop. Also a day->night->day transition could be neat.

 

[watermelon punch]

Whoah whoah ... I was thinking starting just before dawn, & having it end not long after sunset.
ie: night > day > night
I didn't think the headlights were good enough for overnight. (Or maybe it's my eyes that are not good enough. lol 'specially with damage )

I was thinking some chance of rain might be cool. 💡

 

[daddyo845]

Please don't make it rain the whole time. PLEASE!!!!

 

[watermelon punch]

Are you made of sugar? 💡



(my grandmother used to say that ha ha - she was born in 1915 I believe)

 

[daddyo845]

No it's just because I'm awful in really wet conditions. Either I push the car too hard on the slippery road and I run myself off the road or I'm too cautious and I go way too slow

 

[AudiMan2011]

If it rains like what happened in the 2000GT race, I'll simply employ my rain dance driving technique to keep my speed up.

 

[jackrabb1t]

Can I get signed up for the race on the 26th? My PSN is ozwald56.

 

[MC-Chase]

Unfortunately I've been called away Saturday to catch up with some old Uni buddies, the commutes about 3 hours and I'll be hungover so i doubt I'll be home by 3pm Sunday which means I'm likely going to have to miss this week sorry! If you can put me down as a 'possible' or something that would work but obviously don't make a specific slot for me. I should be around for the next one though 👍.

limbo stick photomodes

 

[KingKlingeling]

hahaha, how these cars lean ! if you put your window down , you can touch the asphalt :-)
was great fun though

 

[daddyo845]

Very nice. I enjoyed looking at those pictures just as much as I enjoyed racing those cars. Sorry if that sounded like an insult but really do love those pics and it was a lot of fun on Sunday

 

[dmihaylov]

Hello guys,
Can I sign up for the race in 26th January?

 

[BrandonW77]

For some reason, even though I "watch" this thread I fail to receive notifications when there are posts. I will be there Sunday, NurbNord should be a fun race. 👍

 

[daddyo845]

Sure as long as long as you've got a very expensive abarth biposto.

 

[daddyo845]

Yes this happens to me too Brandon

 

[Chiochan]

daddyo please start to use the edit function instead of double posting. The moderators on this forum look down on double posts.

 

[KingKlingeling]

@watermelon , I'm joining this sunday as well.
omg , I'm terribly sorry for triple post !
I just got such a bad connection at work , my smartphone went crazy !
what an irony because if daddyo's double post ​

 

[Chiochan]

King are you messin' with me?

 

[daddyo845]

I'm sorry watermelon has told me about that. You trying to best me kling like you do in gt6 all of the time . I'll be there for Sunday though. I'm looking forward to it. I'm hoping me and kling can have another epic battle. Probably wont happen though. I don't think I'll be able to keep up for an hour.

I don't mean to rush you @watermelonpunch, but if you could get those details on the biposto race soon I'd really appreciate it. Didnt you say you were going to force at least one pit stop?

 

[watermelon punch]

@dmihaylov Welcome back!! I have wondered about you. Are you still on my PSN list?

@daddyo845 No worries... I do it almost as much for the photomodes as for the racing.

@BrandonW77 That happens to me too - WITH MY OWN THREADS. I won't see an alert, but then when I check my "watched thread" page, I see that someone's posted to the thread. Best as I could figure so far is that if you don't actually post to the thread for a couple of days, it takes it out of being worthy of "Alert" status - unless you're "following" the person who actually posts.


Anyway, you darn kids today & your smart phones!

You should really only double-post if you're posting something particular on a separate issue.
For example, I'll double post if I post if I'm posting photomodes or results or event information or whatnot.
Otherwise, you shouldn't do it... Especially not in the discussion forums. (Like in other sections of the forum.)

 

[KingKlingeling]

King are you messin' with me?

not at all , no , really no !
i just got nearly no connection at work and to post 1 sentence it takes about 5minutes and if you triing to reload the page while uploading , strange things happen

I'm "following" you now, but not in a creepy way so please don't feel like a restraining order is necessary.

[dmihaylov]

@watermelonpunch Hello missed your league since I stopped playing because of corruped safe data. I think I still got you on my PSN list, cuz I did not delete anyone. Still I will try to get the 3.5mil. for the car for the Sunday race . Still down 1.1mln But I will take part in the race.
