Guys, being, effectively, the successor of Troylee, I can tell you that GP/F lap times are at least 2:10s in these cars. GP/F includes the hairpin at the bottom of the hill, called "Internazional Kurve." Yeah, let's NOT run 30 laps of that circuit, in 45 minutes. đź‘Ť đź‘Ť đź‘Ť
 
Doing GP/D now.... So more like 90 second laps ;).

We'll switch it up and go with GP/D :)

(if you want to race GP/F, check out the Rolex series ;) link is in my signature :))

Right. That makes more sense. So, 30 ish laps it is. :)


I can keep momentum nicely through the short-chute hairpin, and enjoy the first section. I can pass just about anyone, there, because I know of the existence of a few other racing lines through turns three and four, that most people don't know of. :) I don't mean that I cut, but, I mean that I have a different way of using the track I'm allowed to use.
 
Aslong as you don't run wide to pass people t'is all good :p.

Well, I was forced wide, once... had to lift off of the throttle to avoid spinning, and STILL passed the guy. Was irritated. People need to give room, there. Well, it was ITCC, though, so, I guess there were four cars side-by-side, and maybe even a possibility that one was on his roof. Wait, no, they ended up in the barrier with that pale blue RUF.

Added an extra bit :sly: but yes there is a fine line between passing and dive bombing/forcing someone wide. So passes have to be fair and safe :).

It's just because, in ITCC, lap one is spent with AT LEAST three drivers side-by-side with each other. NĂĽrburgring GP/D was like Round 6 or 7, quite recent. Two Toyota 86GTs, a Subaru WRX STi, a Civic (me) and a few other guys came out of turn 4 five-wide. The track was only wide enough for four wide, and the guy on the outside skidded the rear under braking, by accident, and skidded across the track.


Effectively, summarized in an Australian video:


Just imagine that there were six MORE cars involved. :lol:
 
Made some laps around Nurburgring GP/D and my fastest lap until now is 1.42.488

Uuuuyy, that's the time to beat, is it? :lol: I mean, if you don't beat it, in a GS car, you're really not cut out. :lol:


Sounds reasonably fast, actually, Filipe.

GS? Not for me they are very powerful and i learning to drive without aids (Except ABS 1)

Well, i notice my car is really comfortable in GP/D, so i can do a good race here ;)

Haha, I just mean that no one else has posted a time for me to try to beat in my class, GS.


Also, yeah, the Civic was a nice car at GP/D in ITCC. :sly: We did decently well. We weren't cut out for beating the RX-7s, but, were close. :)

Yes. The RX-7 in ITCC runs at 256 hp and 1150 kg. It's 50 kg. heavier than the Civic, and has 20 less hp, to make it even. But, those are small numbers. It should just go to show you that the Civic's got a chance to win here. :)

Let's see, would be good a win but first i need training and learn the track ;)
 
All I remember about this track from ITCC was winning one race by like 15 seconds and getting run off in the other two.

:dunce: Seth and Sakery (the two teammates, no doubt) couldn't see each other. They didn't know what they were doing, when they did that. Sakery lag-bumped you, after the game glitched... Effectively, both Toyotas were out to get you, without even knowing it, planning it, or wanting it. :(
 
When testing for SMRC Minis on 200bhp and I think 1060kgs with no abs, I did a 1:40-1:41 not sure though..

I'm a testing Toca atm so I will break out the Mini afterwards to see :).

Edit: Did some laps in the Mini and did a 1:39.5 in a quick 3 lap run with a bit more in it.

So 6:45 instead of 6:30?

If so, I think we could do that, because GHS is cutting it close too.

Thank you. I want to get in on some of this racing at least

Nope, but I might be able to make the race and deal with the pissed off people for showing up late :sly:

They'll get over it ;)

Or if they're really mad, they can punish you by not making you work :)

I know, sometimes it's better to ask forgiveness than permission :sly: Of course, no one else that is supposed to work the concession stand besides my best friend and I has the necessary amount of fully functioning brain cells to come inside when it's raining :facepalm:
 
Depending on how long my orientation will take at my new job I can race
