That is awesome! 5 races 4 winners!...so far even though the top 3 have been pretty solid...its closer than many people think. I'll get the points figured out.

thanks to tire management I was able to stay ahead of uga who was super fast! Who got the point for most laps led?

 

[Dr Dre]

Well I decided to stay out an extra lap, which was about a good of decision as frosty the snow man laying in the tanning bed. My rear tires melted faster then cotton candy at the circus. Well just when I could see light at the end of the tunnel, someone pulled the plug, oh wait, that's Elmo smashing my gtr into two pieces. So now I'm driving half a car with the driving physics of a forklift. By the time I crawled to the pits I had lost 2 mins on the leaders, after that I just drove around eating nachos, air heads, popcorn, and whatever my pit crew could stuff in the car when I pitted. All while watching driving miss daisy on my in car monitor that's equipped in my gtr. Other than that, I had a awesome race.

This has to be the best description of a bad race...I have ever read......Lol man that stinks.

More of these race reports! Brilliant. Oh and, you bonked my rear tire on the first lap Doctor,

 

[Dr Dre]

No recollection of that, ill have to watch the replay. Did you get damage? I'm sorry if you did.

 

[E46Envy]

I had an uneventful race. I had nothing for uga or jess when they were running. If jess wouldn't have had the bad luck and uga different tire strategy I would have been third as expected.

 

[ugabugaz]

No recollection of that, ill have to watch the replay. Did you get damage? I'm sorry if you did.

Yes, rear left tire damage(or was it right rear tire)..It made my first 6 laps quite hard in the corners, but don't worry, all part of racing plus its kind of a tradition for me. I've gotten damaged in every race so far in the first lap.

You hit me at the end of the main straightaway..Coming out of the second chicane, and then the right turn following onto the exit large straight, There.
Corner name is Mulsanne.
See helpful map below

 

[Dr Dre]

I watched the replay and didn't see any of that. Ill have to investigate further when I'm near my set. Again sorry

Here we are..


Approaching the corner.

Slowing down..You behind me

Right before impact, It was my left tire after all

 

[Dr Dre]

My replay shows that you over shot the turn and lost position, and that you never had damage untill 6 laps later when you lost control and hit something b/c of low grip. Must be a glitch. Damn servers

No idea - but I'm pretty sure I didn't get any more damage for the rest of the race - it was just that one in the first lap.

 

[jomama2010]

Well...not going to make it again...joining the guard...was suppose to be back Monday but now I wont be back until wednesday

[E46Envy]

It sure was a small race. The start was great. PD did their part to mix up the starting grid. Elmo starting on pole and did a great job setting the pace. Just a few laps in I hooked a tire on the tall curb, sailed through the grass and took out Elmo and jess. All three of us pitted and the race was on. I started on medium tires and pitted half as often as jess but after some more damage I switched to soft tires and stay on the same strategy as jess. It was a great, tight race. I just couldn't pass him but with .200 of a second between our finish time it was a tight race.

 

[Dr Dre]

So, I'm guessing tonights race is gonna be about 12 laps?

[ugabugaz]

I love the dream killing nordschleife. Hope you guys tune those cars good for Indy...My Mazda is quite fast.

 

[Dr Dre]

I hope were all at regulation

 

[ugabugaz]

I hope were all at regulation

If at any point you have doubts about anyone's car, ask them to share it, and test it on a straight point of the track. See how fast they go on the replay, If you match the speed, Great = Genuine. If not, report it here and we'll deal with it

 

[Dr Dre]

Oh its cool, I think I had my car dialed back to 400 hp and 30+ ballast the way everybody blew past me on the straight. Don't worry, ill have it sorted out in the future......

 

[jomama2010]

For tuesday...Use max downforce or 35/60 downforce if you have 50/70 split.

 

[ugabugaz]

Not cool quitting like that Jess..My Mazda may have been fast but that doesn't mean all that much. Guess what, I didn't win. Got second and I ran a crash free race (As usual I screwed my tire management). Why you picked an overweight NSX to go on a Speedway track is beyond me. The idea of the two car system is to have a tight circuit car and one that can go quickly on High speed courses. Just by looking at the available cars you could have picked an A4 Touring Car - 493 HP/1080 KG - Better Power to weight than the RX-8.

Ty Won by the way.

This should have been a personal message, not public. I quit b/c I'm done with this completely. These events are not organized in the way Im used to racing. I've raced against some of the best drivers in the world and I've also been in leagues that are well organized and this just isn't for me so.......good luck and happy racing. PS- the nsx was doing just fine, I would've finished podium, as I always do......

This has always been a bit of an informal racing series. You could probably tell that from the initial post, no? Best of luck to ya - Had great fun in some of the races - I still hold the view that the Epson NSX is porky

Man I wonder what you would think of my Takata Dome NSX then Haha.

Running at 473hp with 1170kgs

20kgs heavier than the "porky" Epson
