Can my car from this season be a placeholder until I get everything worked out for S2?

 

[GranTurismo916]

I guess I'll officially sign up for S2:
#96-GranTurismo916/Subaru BRZ GT300

 

[Eva]

Are team colors allowed? Say me and gr8 both use corvette yellow or do we both need separate colors?

It doesn't matter. Both of you are contributing to Corvette's manufacturer points anyways.

Yeah, good luck.

Umm...no you're not. #1-3 are reserved for points champions. I may not be using it, but that doesn't entitle others to try taking it.

Escudería Cimarron found testing Season 2 car in Argentina.​

Shortly after the season finale, the team started to pack their stuff to leave the place ASAP, they only had the time to congratulate the Season 1 champions in a short interview "-Congratulations to Angel and Bambi for their respective championships, we would have loved to be in their position, but it wasn't like that this season so we have to do our best to be there next season." Said Jonatan Ischondat, Head Engineer of the team just before they left the circuit instalations leaving almost no trace.

Reporters didn't knew what was going on. They found out later what was happening.

Local residents of the Argentinian province of La Pampa heard a really loud engine noise at the local circuit, some curious fans went to the track and found that there was a black car with a number 51 on it, some of them took photos of it.​

Spoiler

Even one of them, a reporter enthusiast had the courage to go and make an interview with Chris de Leeuw, the team's development driver, who declared that they were there to test the limits of both chassis and power unit.
​

-What are you testing right now, it doesn't look like the Nissan Z you had this season?
-"Obviously, this is the car we're using for Season 2, it's a GT300 spec car built by RE Amemiya based in a 3rd generation Mazda RX-7 with a Mazda rotary Power Unit, so yeah it is not the Nissan Z we were driving this season *laughs*".

-How many time do you have here?
-"We recieved the new power unit from Mazda here just a couple of days ago, almost everything was here by that time except for some components for the car, our computers, engineers and our main driver, they were all in Germany, so we had to wait for them to start our testing, they left the circuit as soon as they could and they arrived sooner than what we expected, so we started to test.

It's been a great time being here, I would love this circuit to be selected for a coming season"

-Talking about the test, what kind of test are you doing right now?
-"The test we are doing right now is a stress test, we'll measure where are the current limits of the Power Unit and the Chassis, then we'll see how we can improve them."

-Why did the team selected this circuit, out of all other tracks that share the same features as this one?
-"We selected this course because it is perfect to keep the engine at really high revs per minute for long periods of time, and because its high speed corners are too demanding to the chassis, it is also in a quiet and peaceful place, making it easier for us to test, so apologies for the noise caused by the car's engine in such a nice and peaceful enviroment this place is."

-Well, I've heard some locals saying that the car had an amazing engine sound, so not all of them will be looking for an apology.
"Yeah, I personally like it, too! it's an improvement to the car we had last year!"

Oh Alright, Sorry...

?

 

[Eva]

?

I said yes a long time ago the first time you brought it up.

Oh. Sorry I didn't see it

 

[DcrRaikkonen]

Well i have made my decision to go to GT300 in a #11 Subaru Brz for S2

 

[nascarfan1400]

 

[GTRacer22]

Nas, you are a prophet. I'm watching the stream, and you said Angel would disconnect in the middle of the race.

I've got to admit that it looks great! 👍

It's a good feeling to be invited for this opportunity to step up from base touring cars to GT cars. Calendar clashes mean I'll miss the opening couple of rounds as ToCA will be running through July into August. Once I know the ToCA calendar for that season, I'll have a clear idea of when I can properly forge ahead to practice for my planned series debut.

I ran a secret shakedown at Spa of my possible GT300 entry as I'll be starting from the bottom rung anyway. I might pop into Ascari testing to run it and another car going by the current S2 entry list. There'll be a lot of things I'll need to unlearn from my touring car days (standing starts, short sprint races etc) and will need to get used to rolling starts, timing gaps between GT500 and GT300 and strategy planning over 90 minute races.

Wait what are the race start times for season 2?

@BRRT_Angel for my schedule input could you replace the Apricot Hill race with SSR5?

 

[Eva]

Damn you! Yes I can.

 

[Eva]

Wait what are the race start times for season 2?

Race start at 3:00 p.m. EDT, with the typical stuff before that.

 

[Spirit]

Damn you! Yes I can.

I just think we need a city circuit on the schedule and that's one of my favorites. Or maybe if more people like Rome Reverse we can do that, I like that track too.

My only issue with SSR5 is the invisible walls near the end of the lap. SSR5 or Madrid would be great street circuits to consider adding. Rome is a valid option too. Regardless, your choice. Whatever you'll pick, I'll have to run laps to see how bad those Kaz walls are.

 

[nascarfan1400]

Don't get rid of Apricot. To those people who say there;s no character are nuts.

 

[Spirit]

I chose it because there's already Daytona as a USA race and I'd rather do Daytona than Apricot. Besides, I feel Apricot is too much of a "cookie cutter" track for my liking. Just my opinion.

Angel, Let's go with Rome Reverse and if you don't like the Kazwalls (if any) then we can do SSR5.

 

[Eva]

Don't get rid of Apricot. To those people who say there;s no character are nuts.

In all honesty, I was expecting him to replace Daytona with Indy. I was wrong.

 

[nascarfan1400]

Ill be severely let down if we cant go back to Apricot.

But I guess Daytona makes up for it.

 

[Spirit]

In all honesty, I was expecting him to replace Daytona with Indy. I was wrong.

We can do that too. I know I can only choose one. I'd rather have a street circuit on the schedule than my home track, as much as I'd like to have my home track.
