Oh boy, the corkscrew. Yeaaaah. JK. The corkscrew seems really akward this year compared to the othr ones in this series. OH well.
 
LAGUNA!! :crazy: this is going to be the hardest race of the series. And with the points being so close it makes it even harder.

GET out of the WAY!! Zeratul can't you see i'm trying to pass you. lol j/k good luck
 
well, i love laguna, but once again, i´m totaly screw with tire strategy... i can´t get focused for 20 plus laps...

since i haven´t done any endurance on gt mode, i really don´t have much experience with this... right now, i´m hoping that i can score points on qualify... until i master the race...

qualify is good 👍 i´m going for the pole! i hope this time the extra weight hurts veil... :sly: hehehe

let´s see... poor NSX, will be punished through that corkscrew... :)
 
Unfortunately, I am going on my vacation trip for this weekend so I can not participate this week. Good luck to all. eatsviper, i am sorry for the short notice but I'll be back for the next series. good by.
 
lol the reduced weight makes a difference i tried suzuka 1 more time and i clocked 1:59.342. :dunce: oh well hopefully it shows at this round my times are pretty close to my team mates so i shouldn't worry much.
 
KENNY AND PEYTON DON'T HAVE TO RETURN TO JAPAN THIS TIME

In a rare historic event, the infamous California track 'Laguna Seca' has opened its doors to the famed JGTC series. Gone are the days of smashing up Tokyo for a night in the town.

"Kenny - we can use a short range plane this time to get to Laguna."

"So true, Peyton. How about we roll out the Spitfire?"

"Triumphs don't fly."

"And neither do you, legally."

And so they embark on a final journey. Suddenly they spot a Luftwaffe formation to the east. The German Aviation Club is celebrating the 60-something anniversary of the Ju87 Stuka by flying the surviving planes in traditional formation.

"I'm locked on!"

"Peyton what the..."

Cutting our dear protagonist off is the ripping sound of machine gun fire. Amidst the sounds of bullets firing are cries of the German men screaming "It's ze Battle of Britain all over again!" and "We shall have our revenge, ya!"

Stukas fall from the air like they did long ago. Another victory for the RAF?

Suddenly, someone is trying to contact them on the radio. "Commander Peyton! Commander Peyton! Please come in - this is Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup. Please do not engage the enemy at this time, WW3 doesn't start for another 2 and a half hours."

"Oh....sorry."

"It's ok, just remember not to waste all your ammo. Nothing to worry about. Leave your big guns for later."

"I got your big guns right here!" *Kenny snickers while flexing*

The track is now in sight.

"So.... Peyton... I thought you didn't have a license to fly?"

"Oh, it's very easy to obtain in Britain."

They safely land and commence to unpack when they realize they didn't load the cars into the cargo bay. However, they do find a 50 year old atomic bomb, "Little Man."

"Hehe....maybe we really are in Japan."

"You know what Kenny, we just wasted 3 hours - but why don't we make it worthwhile and cross the Pacific one last time?"

"I forgot to pack my SARS mask...."

"And you forgot to pack the cars!"

Nearing Japan, Peyton eyes some Zeros closing in.

At the Tokyo Protection Agency, the radar picks up our two renegades.

"Mr. Homototo! Trouble ahead!"

"My wife is pregnant by another man again?!"

"Worse! KPM Motorsports is carrying out the final mission close to our city!"

"Bring out the SAM's!"

Suddenly, 18 midgets named Sam appear in the HQ room. "Reporting for duty!"

"uh...go shoot them down!"

"Yes, Mr. Homototo."

Finished with taking down all but one of a squadron of Zeros, ace Peyton eyes the HQ of the Tokyo Protection Agency and heads straight for it. At the last second he darts to safety thanks to the superb manueverability of the British plane. However the Zero that was following him crashed into the Tokyo Protection Agency, killing everyone inside except for Mr. Homototo who suffered papercuts on both arms. The building collapsed and knocked down every other highrise within a 15 mile radius. The explosion registered a 8.4 on the Richter Scale and the Red Cross is currently sending over teams to treat for earthquake victims. Residents of the planet Ugabookaly, in the Kiupret solar system, thought they saw their first supernovae.

Kenny and Peyton were unharmed and resumed their racing careers.

Kenny went on to be an astronaut, a model, a professional race car driver, got his face plastered over the Wheaties box because he dominated basketball for 15 years, and even opened up his own line of clothing apparel. In his spare time he wrote 1,000 page NY Times best sellers.

Peyton became a security guard at a hobby shop and daily had to run down shoplifters trying to steal the Christmas HO trainset.

Will they return as backups for next season?

.....both are unavailable for comment.
 
DRIVEN -USA-
LAGUNA!! this is going to be the hardest race of the series. And with the points being so close it makes it even harder.

GET out of the WAY!! Zeratul can't you see i'm trying to pass you. lol j/k good luck
Good luck to you too :cheers: I suppose we must give praise to our esteemed race organizer for keeping things so close, this is really feeding my competitive spirit! Oh yeah, and it's a lot of fun too :sly:

The thing is, 4 points ain't a whole lot. This could go either way :nervous:
 
I regret to announce that I will be dropping out of the last race due to complications with a broken Max Drive :guilty:. Sorry VTR, I'm in a real bad situation atm, I aplogize if I hurt the team. I'll be back and ready to go for next season 👍

Does it matter if I ask what does a broken max drive has to do with this series? Your saved game was on it or what? :crazy:
 
Everything got wiped out, I'm trying to find a solution at the moment. My replay for the qual was destroyed too, so I cant send in a time.
 
Time submitted.

Spent a bit of time on this one, I hope it pays off.

But I just couldn't find the 1/2 second I knew was easily there :banghead:

Good luck everyone 👍

BTW I really feel for you iceman, this'll teach you to never back up your files :trouble:
 
Got home 11"30 pm and drived until midnight this qualify, i think i´ve got one very good lap altough more 0.4 or even alot more left, in some hours of playing maybe.

But i will post it anyway.
 
Is there something wrong guys for not sending a time this round?

Drifting 4 Ever (ok)

Since it's the final round of the season we stop to race is that it?
 
That's like an entire field!

I thought I was bad by sending mine in like as the deadline was passing...

Another podium for me. Surprising since I only got about 15 laps in.
 
Oh My god i am so sorry i sent the time late i just got back from a family night out i missed the dealine by like 2 mins. :nervous:
 
Good lap veil 👍 How you managed to take 0.6 out of me in the last sector I'll never know...there are only 2 corners in it!!

Seems like I'm losing time up the hill and through the corkscrew, I have to find a better line through the blind kink.

And the Supras are on the pace, well done guys :)

Actually you're 1h late, I will add you guys to the results but you finish at the back of the pack and without getting the 10 secs penalty for the race.
 
:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

I'm so sorry viper, I've been busy as all hell with this new job. I was on training last night until late, and we had a public holiday on Tuesday, I guess my internal calendar got all outta whack...I thought today was Wednesday for some reason. I just got into work and saw "JGTC 2005 Round 8 Qualif + Results" and thought "WTF?"

I don't suppose all this counts as a valid reason in your book? Things are so tight between myself and DRIVEN -USA- and I think I speak for both of us when I say we were itching for a showdown. A penalty now would really suck for either of us, we're so close. I wanna win or lose by skill alone :(

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
 
Thats really hard track for me :/
AFAICS i have lost 1.4sek between sektor 2 and 3 o_O i know where 0,5lays but the rest ...
 
wow, another 1-2 punch by me and veil... i thought last night, after talking to him and knowing his time, that my lap was not that good... but then, i ran some laps with his car and with kenny´s car and find out that my car was the worst for my driving style... and 30 minutes with the woodnone supra i managed a 1´16´1xx... :dopey:

i guess i know what to look for in next season´s draft...

now to the race :)
 
could i take over a ride for one of the missing drivers? i am registered for next year but I would like a little taste at what i am looking at for next year (season.) anywho, i think StudentDriver will be back to race his own race so, i could take over whoever in GT500 or GT300. gimmie a shout.

Sorry, I'm out of town, visiting a friend. I thought I could still qual, but I was out late last night and forgot about it. I'm still in for the race, though.
 
I am some surprised with the pole, as i´ve just got 30 min on this run, i wasn´t expecting to be competitive this round wich such a heavy car, and now a bit slow.

Also i´ve seen a 1'14.9 with more 2 or 3 hours driving, but my time was enough for a 30 minute "on hurry" run, started in like 11"35 pm when deadline was 1 am and also because i was quite tired after a whole bothering work and college day.
