For what it's worth, I haven't tried the Mazda yet and I'm stoked on it. But I understand you guys wanting variety. Why don't you guys just set a rule to say that a car can't be chosen if it has been raced in the last 6 months or so. A lot of people like to come on here and talk about the negatives instead of proposing a solution to the problem. In my country that's called whining. I prefer problem solving.

It's part of the weekly routine just like girls gossiping and/or isolating someone in their group or whatever shenanigans go on between girls.

Please don't take what I just said too literally or seriously, I don't want to be in the crossfire lol

I think if I ever won a prize A or B I would choose a combo that I liked...but I would also want it to be liked by as many people as possible. This way, it sticks around week after week. Typically the crazy self serving picks are one and done picks. I would be self serving but I would compromise with myself to make sure it sticks around as much as possible.
 
Sorry I couldn't make it this Sunday. I was on a weekend long cruise/camp out with a few friends... and they had Supras! It was very well worth the long drive up!

Hey guys I need some help I've never had this happen to me. I have a driving force gt and my brake pedal will depress all the way as same as the throttle but when I'm on track it shows the brake is 1/4 applied. I noticed it while practicing a combo a minute ago. Any tips? Thanks.
Turn it over take the bottom off pull out the brake, slide the spring off and grab the ends with channel locks and pull in opposed directions, stretch out the spring reinstall.
 
I can only imagine the grief(good natured im sure)I might have got if I had been eligible for prize A :)
A newbie picking track and car would have been interesting though :D
 
While the boss ain't lookin'...

I accept and agree to the GranStand Challenge terms and conditions!

Prize B selection
IMG_5595.jpg


Mitsubishi 3000GT MR (J) '98

454pp at the dealership for Sports Medium Tires 462 after oil change.
5 Laps @ Grand Valley Speedway

Practice room: 1472-6681-3243-9095-3126

Enjoy! :cheers:

I think it was this car that was my main fighter for career mode back in Gran Turismo 3 with the green puma Race mod.
 
When I got the G27, I decided to take the DFGT apart to figure out what was up and I was amazed (disgusted) with how much crap had gotten in there... and the springs and little plastic gears are very small so it didn't take much to gum up the works. After cleaning it out (and figuring out how all the pieces fit back together) it worked like new.
Hmm, I should probably do this.
 
Everyone likes to criticize the prize winner's selections. I know I do it myself. The truth is there aren't 1,000s of cars to choose from that are actually acceptable to race. Many are too slow for the majority of the tracks, many are improperly geared and bounce off the rev limiter, some are too much of a handful to drive without mods, and then there are the dozens of cars that are essentially the same. If we end up driving the same small collection of cars and tracks it isn't such a bad thing. Rarely are they the exact same combination and even when they are everyone jumps at the opportunity to improve their previous results.
 
The VR4 was my favorite car back in GT3. Can't remember too much about the MR, but it can't be too different.

Also, forgive me as I'm on my phone. No race this week? If thats the case, then banner photos can be a little bit delayed.

Sorry, I haven't been paying as much attention to race nights since I've been so busy lately.

I'm thinking I should be on the track for this set of combos, then I'll miss a week, and I'll be back full time after that.
 
Back
