I like the sounds of motegei, nurburg is such a tedious track and daytona has been done by everyone before.
 
I'll be attending, provided BT don't deprive me of proper internet for a third consecutive week and actually fix it tomorrow.
 
FML, still no proper internet so i'm missing tonight and in all likelihood i will be missing out on the race as well.
 
I won't be making any race at Motegi since I don't have the track. I also won't be spending another penny with Sony after an agreement I made with a customer service rep who charged my credit card $50 without telling me only because I had checked the box to automatically add funds to my wallet to facilitate purchasing DL content. I've written Sony off as a company I want to do business with (I probably will buy a PS4 eventually and obviously GT6 but that's it). When I told the Sony CR rep that I had been a Sony devottee for more than 30 years and that I wasn't going to buy anymore Sony products he just laughed and said "so what". Sold all my Bravias and replaced them with Samsungs (60 in, 52 in, 47 in). Sold all my Sony cameras and replaced them with Canons. Sold my Sony sound system and replaced it with Denon. Sold my Vaio laptop and got a new Asus. With the exception of the PS3, I've rid my house of the devil :scared:

Who will I fight for last with? I don't like the idea of no multiclass battle for track position,

👍

We need more of this, it's the only power we have with some of these F(^^(ING companies. There's a few I refuse to ever buy from again too. EA for one will never get another dime from me.

Motegi's a good track though ;)
 
Not feeling too confident about saturday night, the car feels great but I'm just not fast enough. I'll just have to keep out of trouble and hope for the best.
 
At least you're about .2 off! I'm talking a bit over a second here :lol:

I was .7s behind Memto, then I just added some more (negative) front camber and some more rear downforce and suddenly I'm a second faster. It's just little tweaks.
 
The tricki part of this track is the corckscrew, if you naild it, you can do fast times, last night i managet to get the bentley to the 1.12's afther some tweeks and nailding the corckscrew

A bit off topic but ..... (just in the last 3 days)

1) I subscribe to Blockbuster Video by Mail. We've done it for years and we get BluRay movies within days of sending them back. Now that DISH Network owns them, the service has gone to hell. It's been 16 days since they've sent us a movie. I asked them what's up. They said that there is only 1 movie in my queue that's marked as "available" and it's in another part of the country. I said that there are 11 movies in my queue and all of them are "available" from other providers. I told them that it makes no sense for me to be paying them a monthly subscription for "nothing" so please cancel my subscription. Boom ! 12 hours later, suddenly 6 of the movies in my queue are now "available".

2) My GoPro HERO2 camera has an audio recording issue since I bought it. I have been asking for "Help" in their Support site since June and have submitted 3 requests and received their notice that I will be notified within 24 to 48 hours. I've never been contacted by them ever. I put together a 2 minute video with clips demonstrating the audio glitch as well as the dialog describing their lack of response. I posted it to YouTube and sent them a link to it. Boom ! 8 hours later I get an email telling me they've opened a ticket to investigate my problem and that they will get back to me.

Why are big companies such tools to deal with ?
 
Providing I can stay awake for the whole of it I think I'll do OK. I'm still not quite on the pace so I'll just have to try and keep it consistent. GT traffic is going to play a big part too.
 
Sorry guys but I may have to miss this race tonight. My wife had surgery yesterday and didn't do too well after getting home. Turns out she's allergic to the pain meds that the doctor prescribed and we had quite a dramatic last 24 hours. She's doing better today but I still think I'm going to have to give her my full attention.

Sad news, Dave will have no-one to fight for position now!

In all seriousness though, I hope she's well soon.
