"Featuring Street-King-07 who I almost killed"
Gold.

Jesus H Christ. That was mental.

 

[250 GTO]

Both 8-bit Racing cars had good race senses. 👍

Generally the whole of Am class in lobby 1 knew to give way, though some needed more prodding than others, it was generally safe getting through all of them, at least for me.

Glad to hear you say that. Cause that was/is my main concern throughout the race. Overtaking and being overtaken. I was so afraid of accidentally hitting and spinning other cars, that I usually ****** up and took myself out, which for the most part is the reason why, every time I was catching up to someone, I ended up in the sand.
Nerves man

I’ll chalk it up as a learning experience, and move on to next week.

But all in all, it was a great race! ...though my back and knees are killing me today.

Considering how close together the Am cars were for the most part of the race, it was actually good to see enough awareness towards the Pro cars coming to lap them. It's honestly just as nerve-wracking for me since I have no idea if whether you've seen me or not, and then if you did, I still gotta figure out where and how will you make way so I can get past safely and quickly.

It gets much more tense when the Pro cars encounter Am cars fighting for position, more so if said Pro car was also in the middle of a battle themselves.

Luckily that first time you came up lap me was at the start/finish straight but you were further back than I thought haha. I was fourth gearing down the straight and thought to myself “I went too soon” haha

 

[eDirtyTati]

Everyone has their own racing style. Obviously, there's more than one way to slow down for a corner. Some just result in messier pants than others.

 

[amcdo122]

Already can't wait for next week! After my first run on the track I know it'll be interesting...

There is no way you should be in AM category. Haha

I'm trying my best to be promoted
Especially since I frustratingly only missed pro by 0.2 of a second

Do we have mid-season promotions, @Eva? This man's first on the list.

There are opportunities for promotion and demotion.

Notes for Tokyo.
-Drivers that miss both Suzuka and Tokyo without valid real life reasoning will be moved to their respective reserve lists for future THEC races.
-All drivers, race and reserve, are to reread and confirm understanding of the regulations in the very first post of this thread. The amount of penalties for pit line crossings and drivers not obeying numberplate standards are concerning.

 

[Soullock27]

Confirming for Tokyo. Also confiming of reading rules again

 

[BeAsTPkRIPPER]

I sent Nascar a message of why I left right before the race started i had to Take my mother to the hospital

I can race this weekend

 

[GTRacer22]

Congrats again to @TNR_5zigen!

Felt great to be back behind the wheel in a VRR event. Sadly, I’ll be unable to make the race at Tokyo, I have a party to go to that starts halfway through race and goes past into Corvette Challenge time.

 

[introsp3ctive]

Confirmed for this weekend.

 

[Leadfoot530]

Ergo any unforseen issues, I'm a go for Tokyo. Also glanced over the OP again. No issues here.

Time to make up some points!

 

[Anathema]

Will make sure to keep it clean this race. Taping the pit lane rules to the Switch so I don't forget.

Barring unforeseen circumstances I will be in attendance.

 

[TetsuKobura]

Read.

I'll be there. Hopefully my redemption will happen

 

[250 GTO]

Im in

 

[TNR_KING_FILO]

Definitely in

 

[NoirAntares]

See you on track.

@TNR_KING_FILO need an alarm clock for the race?

 

[Damianoo874]

Hello,

I would like to really apologize for inconvinience during last race. I was setting up my car all day long for hard tires and I did not know that instead of this we will run with medium. Car was spinning as hell. Firstly I had idea to set rear anti roll bar before the race one lever higher when I saw that we will run on medium tires but finally it would already change too much... So gentlemens I hope you understand.

You weren't the worst person to have been on track Saturday. Just build on what you learn and move forward. If you haven't seen it yet, the tire compounds are indicated in the calendar in parentheses. This Saturday the race will be run on Super Softs.

 

[AudiMan2011]

I'm in for Saturday.

 

[CrazyJohn]

As I'm reserve, I cannot answer about participation yet.

 

[nascarfan1400]

Barring emergencies, should be there.

 

[Eva]

As I'm reserve, I cannot answer about participation yet.

You can still respond on whether or not you'd be available to replace someone or not.

 

[Sting]

@Eva Confirming participation for Saturday and re-read of rules.

Glad to see I didn’t get any penalties.

 

[Motoceles]

Confirming I’m in for Saturday and reread the rules
