Thx to Rutter, CICO, BlacqueJacques, TwistyBits, Theewar, i-plume, Lynx-Can(briefly), pj-gm, Martijns79? and everyone else for making the racin' good fun today. :D

Especially enjoyed my last race as I got away well and led by about 3 seconds on lap 2 with Rutter, i-plume, Martijns79? and Theewar, I think, giving chase. I was runnin' consistent 2'02.0xx-2'02.4xx, when I noticed Rutter and i-plume steadily closing the gap and by lap 7, they double drafted me down the start/finish straight, demoting me to 3rd. I hung with them for a couple of laps until I made 2 mistakes on lap 9 and lost them. Great race and a great win for i-plume, well done! 👍

Shame the update is coming, but hopefully there will be similar to look forward to after! :sly:
 
I do consistent 2:04's-2:05's with a PB in the 2:03's. Even that's not enough to be ahead and stay ahead.
 
Thanks for the races twistybits, cico and welsh bain and others; (called in sick from work!) and thanks for waiting after I have done some agricultural work off the track:lol:

I have been playing with the gears and still haven't found the right settings; best time has been mid 2:03's.

Let us see what the next update has-💡 I'd love a surprise and see a GT5 track available (e.g. Indy road course) for the online event :dopey:
 
In @23 if anyone is racing. Just had a couple of punters try their thing because they were a bit slow, but good racing happening.👍
 
Are all the quick racers using the clutch in races? Or am I just that slow:lol:

I will have another go this evening; unsure when the online events change (?GMT); I usually have a look Thursday (tomorrow) morning for the new online events.
 
Thanks for the last evening of ZZZZZ-racing fellas,it whas a blast again..

Thanks to Theewar,i-Plume,SpawnBlack,and many more who's names are somewhere in my can of beer...lol....thanks guys!!

Sorry Jpro001 (sp) for the bump; tried to avoid everyone for that first turn; then got disconnected during race; before that the grid for :23 looked promising but got disconnect just as race was to start!

After work my virtual driving sometimes sucks more than normal!

Think I'll relax and try the new events tomorrow, cheers.
 
Problems in turn 1? I've never had any problems in turn 1, in fact, I usually gain a couple of places in turn 1. Then lose them all a lap later :ouch:

Thank you sir 👍

Even though I was not racing in this event that much I managed to get the Z tuned to have some good racing with i-plume, Lynx-Can and others I cant remember myself.

Apologies to Lynx if I bumped you a few times and hung on to your rear bumper forcing you to let me by.....but that's racing:sly:

Now for Fuji 700pp F430 time again:):)

I might have a pop at this one, are we able to use R1's or R2's now it Fuji as the track is not so twisty and that massive straight were we need all the power we can get?
 
OK its sorted now to :23 and :53 right? :dopey:

I was on for 2 races.

The first race a 7 car grid (2 were clint eastwood drifters:lol:) with 2-3
350Zs and finished 2nd quite far behind a clio :grumpy:

The second race just 3 of us and one was a underpowered drifter :)

Hopefully full grids this weekend; in between Spa qualifying and the race of course:tup: (go Mark!).

My best time so far was 1:42.698; and lots of fun to drive on Fujii; fine tuning the gearing still.
 
I tried the 350Z here last night and was quite fun. This event will is going to be good. The final stretch is a good to keep the race close. I did managed to get 1'39.885 out of her here though.

I don't think that you can use any other tyre compound other than R3s due to the Car and the PP. I might be wrong though.

Jep, race times are the same as at Suzuka. Was that lap with or without slipstream?
And sorry mate, but i think Alonso will take pole this time. :D:P

It was a free run man. I post it on gtbd. There's room for improvement though for sure. Thanks to Jpro01's help on turn 6 with his gearing advice.👍.
 
hello everyone.haven't race for weeks so i'll give a try this combo even though i prefer the cali:)
do we have any good set up for this car?
 
I've tried this with the same set-up I was runnin' for Suz', but changed the gears to suit. Ran a few laps In Free Run whilst playing with the gears and did a best of 1'40.401 using the Controller. Gearing is also set for racin' with a taller 6th for draft.

Great time there Solarr, so early in the event! :)
 
Debating wether to go with this event or the bounty hunting event. Seems like the grids will be fuller there. Thing is I'm pretty much fed up with Suzuka:ill:
 
In at :53

My PB is now 1:42:476

12 car grid; 2 drifters; fun racing:tup:; finished 9th!:)

In at :23
