Had a lot of fun racin last night guys. First race was a little disappointing, stuffed the nose of my camaro under Skeletor's vette and sent him through the sand. I had trouble recovering, missing my turn entries. Second race I learned that the Challenger RM is a lot more of a beast to tame then I had thought, but I'm determined. Third race I was maybe too cautious at the start trying not to have another accident, but once I calmed down and started nailing my corner entries, I began showing up in a couple rearview mirrors. Managed a couple clean passes and actually pretty happy with my finish. I'll defenatly be back next weekend, hope we have a better turn out.

Don't sweat it too much. We've all done that, and it's happen to all of us. Usually I drive myself into the grass/sand. Just got to take it easy on the first lap on fresh tires. I was actually more distraught that the game hosed me out of a first place start. I had the fastest time and it started me in 4th.

Glad you had a lot of fun, look forward to seeing you next weekend.

We have room for you. You will have to add Kalmiya117 to your buddy list. Races are hosted in his lounge. Sunday nights 9pm eastern. Lounge opens 1 hour prior.

Nice to see a Ford join. All the other Ford drivers were too scared to show up last night.

Then your replay is wrong. I could of swore I started behind titus on the ouside row.

 

[200MphFord]

Anyone else developing piercing headaches while trying to get their cars to turn at Indy? Just curious... Oh yea, there were too many matching camaro's last week, so I repainted my class 2 car, but it is the same car

 

[Skeletor27]

Anyone else developing piercing headaches while trying to get their cars to turn at Indy?. . . .

No..... But I haven't really tried yet. Also keep in mind, all the infield turns are flat, non-banked corners. And a couple are hairpins. AND you're driving a muscle car. So I wouldn't expect too much. I should be around this evening if you want to compare.

 

[Camaroyenko]

Hi,

I'd love to join in on this event.

You can put me down in a '69 Camaro RM in Group 1.


Thank you!

 

[st1sj]

What time does the lobby open on Sunday night? The first post said between 8 to 9 pm ET. Just want to confirm so I do not miss it. Thanks.

 

[Mudd]

Racing starts at 9:00 est, Kal opens the lobby around 8:00 for some last min tuning and qualifying

 

[st1sj]

Mudd, thanks for the info. First time racing these beasts, so I am looking forward to it. I may switch from Challenger RM to Camaro RM--need to do some testing first.

 

[Mudd]

This is my first attempt at taming these beasts as well, but I had a blast last weekend. There is a nice variety of skill levels in here, makes it quite fun (though I do secretly suspect a couple of these guys of hiring Chad Knaus as a crew chief). And tuning these forces you to really LEARN about setup adjustments, instead of just throwing numbers at the car. I like it

Yeah we definately have a skilled group of people in this series, it may be hard to keep up but im in it for the fun of racing. Plus we dont accept any aids so that really shows you who can handle their car and throw it atound the corners.

Welcome aboard.

Choose a group 2 car, and you are all set.

Add Kalmiya117 to your buddy list, races are hosted in his lounge. Room opens Sundays @ 8pm eastern. 1st race starts @ 9pm.

I think we are getting pretty full now.

Hmm... I won't be able to race in TWO groups, as my bedtime is at 10 pm EST.

Oh well, I can't make this series. I lag pretty bad anyhow.

You can still run in group one, I don't think we would require anyone to run both groups. The main reason behind the two groups is to place driver behinds different sets of wheels so that strong points/weakness can be shown, and used to each others advantages.

 

[Skeletor27]

Races are only 6 laps each. They usually never take more than an hour to do both.

 

[Camaroyenko]

Yeah, but, you guys haven't seen my lag.

It's terrible.

 

[Mudd]

I agree with Kal, I'm in this to have fun with clean racers. I'd love to see a full grid in a league race, regardless of which race class it's in. The lag might concern me, but if it is too much to deal with we would just tell you so.

 

[Camaroyenko]

It is. After 4 people are in the room my car supposedly does 360's and jumps forward and left to right.

 

[Mudd]

Here's some irony for ya: I just started really getting into online racing and tuning about a month ago. As soon as I realized how in depth the tuning process was, I checked GTPlanet for some tips. Found a decent looking tune 'somebody' had posted, wrote it down and now use it as a starting point for any new car I take to the practice track. Just this morning I'm goin through the forums, I come across the tune I had borrowed. Turns out it's Kal's post. Ever since Deep Forest last week, I've been wondering what Kal has done to his Camaro to be so much faster then me, and it's his camaro tune that I've been adjusting off of for each of my cars...guess that means extra practice laps for me tonight. Lol. Oh yea, nice tune Kal!

I ve gotten alot of Thanks for that tune. That was posted before I started majorly taking with skeletor27. I keep hearing that out of alot of tunes it is stable and works through alot of cars. IT is not necessarily the fastest but seems to be a good threshold.

I may go back to that tune and try it now that I have more experience with the Camaro. The maybe post me most recent tuning of it. I also find the same tune works well for the Stock Camaro I have set up for the 550pp races.

Have you put out your tire fire yet?

I should spend more time revisiting that ol RM camaro. I was in it the other day and forgot how pleasant it was to drive. I've learned a few tricks along the way since then, and pretty sure I can make it a little faster.

All my attention has been focused on that damn Z06 Race Car. Thing is on the edge of out of control every corner, every turn. I should get a "Medal of Valor" every time I finish a race in one piece and with the tires still on it. I win one race with it, and now Kal wants to "restrictor plate" it. Fascist.

I'm joking. Just giving you a little ***t Kal.

 

[Mudd]

Somehow I doubt that Indy is gonna be the track to solve the tire fire issue...
