Yeah it's going to fun as usual. I think it should be fun if we can try to get in front of the Mercedes.

Do a Noir Antares overtake down the chicane and bin him to the wall? Thankfully the run up to the first corner is shorter than it was in Indy, so it might be possible. We're gonna be playing chicken with the brakes.

We can't touch the Mercedes as that little touch will lead to us having tons of damage to his little scratch. Blocking will be important also. I think we will see who has the biggest guts going into T1 though.
 
I see you two plotting strategies to beat my Merc. I'll just be winging it as usual.

Then again, the more I try to make plans by driving the SLS with your ballast, the more I realize how bad it's gonna look for the rest of the field.

Yeah You would destroy us. I would do the best for a car switch(That has never happened in two seasons.)

Not sure what you are talking about, it happened way too much in S1, then it happened twice in S2 not including those that moved to different classes.

I'm talking about in class car switches. I can only remember few situations that it happened and that person was choosing a car in their class.
 
Will that still be allowed though? Given how late we're in this season? I mean I'd love to take that option given the remaining tracks, but I'm not sure if it'll be considered fair.

Edit: Well, either that or give the JAF GT300s an extra 15HP or so so that it won't feel like the GT3 cars are in another class. :lol:

Neither are happening. The BoP was set to balance out over the season. The early races showed that (at Fuji for example, the SLS was 4th fastest car in the race). You guys need to get creative. Use the SLS on your own time and figure out what he'll have to look at, go data hunting if you seriously want to grab the class by the balls. It's the same in GT500. The Nissans are approaching their tracks and have two of the most competent drivers at the wheel. If they show up, we're in trouble in GT500. Then you throw in the ballast. It's setting up to be a fight at Le Mans, which is what it should be. I might adjust a couple cars that have been hurting all season long, but giving a select group of cars a boost now just because advantages were missed and unrelated problems occured isn't the way I'll do it.

Figured as much, but I just had to ask.

I've done my homework over the week. All that's left is to be there to see things play out.
 
Looks like I'll need to throw in some unpredictability of my own in Free Practice if we're going to be playing mind games.
 
#1 - GTP_Bambi [GT500] - 1'43.987
#11 - Street-King-07 [GT300] - 1'53.901
#90 - OR-DIDACT [GT300] - 1'55.682
 
All I'm gonna say is that ballast will kill at Silverstone.

Word of caution: Never attempt to read anything right after taking a nap, otherwise words like "Tied" Read more like "Lied" :lol:
 
Good racing earlier in the Super GT race, never expected to score pole and convert it to a win in a place like Monza, where the Lexus was somewhat average. 3 race starts this season, 2 poles, 2 wins and 3 podiums, not bad considering my race attendance makes me look like a reserve driver. :lol:

Props to @AudiMan2011 for keeping me awake the entire race, I had to put in consecutive quali laps just to stay ahead, good thing Monza is gentle on the tires.

Quite unfortunate that I missed the Bathurst STCC, had to help in fixing stuff around the house, so I really didn't have much choice in that.

Official Results from everything will be posted tomorrow night. In the meantime, there's this.
 
I could've been closer at Monza if I hadn't set my transmission so long. That's coupled with already hefty ballast which was hurting before meaning RBR and Silverstone will not be fun.

Even though I have a 10 point lead, I'm not thinking about the championship until we hit the last round and keep finishing well.
