:gtpflag: Results :gtpflag:

Mike didn't want me to score the last race, but the results did not change any final positions other than bear and Pots for 5&6, so I went ahead and included it.

Congrats to @CB_racer, this weeks "Mr. Awesome" for the Group A win :cheers:
Congrats to @sgohsixthree, this weeks "Mr. Baawesome" for the Group B win :cheers:

For some reason my setups didn't load for 2 of the races. I still tried to chug on through, but when the car is violently spinning out on every corner, my car became more of a hazard rather then a race participant. So, I decided to dock the car instead of risking taking someone out and ruining their week.

As far as keeping the racing clean Steve.. I race by this motto.

Your opponents race should be more important then your own.

No worries at all it was a blast to race you the person i felt bad for was @potvinsuks . Us three were running nose to tail for the third race and at one point i was sideways entering a turn and got into him. Other than that one issue i had a blast the cars were fun to drive even thou the porsche could've used about 3k more rpms.
Oh you're totally okay Herimopp. Actually, I was just as guilty for getting the car in a similar fashion. As we were both making that corner, both of our cars decided to do lateral skids in unison and they ineveitably went into each other a bit. So, I was just as guilty mate and in my opinion it was a classic Racing Incident :).

Yeah you guys were racing HARD and you were totally gonna catch me. You both had better pace, I was just able to take advantage of the mistakes. Looking forward to more racing with you guys. Hopefully we’ll still be in the same group.

Mr. Bawesome, out.
 
Looks like I caught the “PCars bug” in race 3. I knew I should of worn a Jimmy Hat to protect myself from the disease. In race 3 my car couldn’t navigate a straightaway, much less the corners. That’s why I parked it rather than risk wrecking someone else. Sounds like in race 4 others were having a bug problem but mine squared itself away. It was my first time running in Portugal; seemed like a decent track.

I can’t make the next two Monday nights so please give my spot to an alternate. See you guys in a few weeks.
 
The following is a BOB post!

Well, I haven't spoken to Mike yet, but watching Shaun's replay I wasn't very impressed. We like to have a fun evening but the racing must stay clean, respectful, and keep to the rules. There were some in the race trying to do just that and had their race wrecked. I don't know how many times I have to say this, but if something is going wrong, either because you're having a bad race, or something is glitching, just retire to the pits, period, very simple. If you want to quite the room, do it before the race starts. If you are the recipient of a glitch, well s**t happens, let the room know there is a problem and retire to the pits. We don't need to hear about it for the next five minutes. Also, if it is suggested you do something that you know is not right, you do what you know is right, just because someone tells you to jump off a bridge doesn't mean you will. I would suggest watching Shaun's race 4 replay.
As I have mentioned, I was one of the 33% that voted against the four race format. Our original 3 race format was successful and made the room popular, and adding in an occasional different format every once in awhile worked. It seems to me that we have had quite a few more issues since changing to the new format. Like Shaun M. mentions above, I enjoyed the challenge of navigating through slower cars or having faster ones getting past me, with close to full rooms each week there should still be others to race with. I'm not sure what to do now.
Sorry to be a stick in the mud, but sometimes things just need to be said, unpopular as it may be. But it's the only way to keep a league running successfully.

BOB out.
Can't remember what my vote was. All I have to add is assists are for sissies. Practice is for sissies. New cars are for sissies. If p cars had a Stanley steamer I'd kick all your little girly boys asses. Oh. Yeah... front wheel drive and all wheel drive is for sissies. But I did like 4 wheel drive in the snow at Indy oval....raced that with mike, sgeti etc.
Oh, by the way, I won that on a default set up. But otherwise it's for sissies.
 
Awww, you guys. Stiffy......that was me who reset right in front of you. I should have looked first, my bad.
GTLayman......Baaaaaaaesome. Whodathunk.
Colts....shut up.

It looks like the Snail rivalry is back on for the end of the month. Who’s interested?

I know it was you and its all good. Actually thought it was funny. You were still ghosted so I thought I had the room to clear you and literally at the last second you went solid. Had no were to go so I treated you like you treat the local sheep (Trying to keep it clean and delicious). I had a blast anyway,

Looks like I missed a good one on Monday. Congrats to CBracer and smcinnis non your awresomeness and bawasomeness.

I'm available for the second half of next week if there is an opening.

Hey you Canadian Degens, why have you been holding out Letterkenny from us Yanks!?! First you keep Trailer Park Boys on the downlow, now this... Afraid us ‘Mericans will ruin all your good stuff, like we did with Bryan Adams, Michael J. Fox, Robin Sparkles and hockey, eh?

The plot twist at 2:20 was...unexpected.

Awesome clip! I had never heard of this show and it’s in season 6, and takes place in a town based in mine and Lobban’s province!
I watched S1E1 with Denise tonight and we both got some good chuckles. Will be DLing all the seasons tomorrow!

March 20th is the official two year anniversary date of the Lobanaro Lounge, so we will celebrate it on Monday the 18th.
Being basically lazy, Mike and I have decided to repeat how we celebrated last year, which is to say thanks to the eight guys that have been with us since that very first race night in PCars1 back on March 20th 2017.
Those 8 guys are:
@SGETI
@Rednose58
@GTLehman
@Gr8_Lakes
@GUTTERBOY3007
@yogi bear
@sgohsixthree
@coltsjugg

Each of you can come up with a combo for the night, it can be either the 3 race or the 4 race format (see Format section in post #1). Or you can come up with your own idea for the night, as long as it fits into the time frame we race in, so 50 min's qualy to start, and then approx 2hrs 20 min's of racing and qualy's after that so we finish by 11.

As we did last year, I will put all the names in a hat and my wife will draw the combo that gets the distinction of being the anniversary combo, (@GTLehman was the winner last year). Then we will randomly run the rest of the combo's for the next 6 weeks after that. This also gives Mike and I a nice break from coming up with combos for almost two months.

Please send Mike and I a private PM with your combo, (do not post it here), by no later than next Thursday March 14th.

Thanks guys, :cheers:

PS: post #1996 has the combo's you picked last year, just in case you didn't want to repeat yourself :D

And of course, a big thanks to all of you who have helped make the Lounge what it is today :cheers:

Been there more than half those guys, even after being booted for adolf hitler reasons (reasonable) and extremely dirty irish reasons (bruhhh)
But my ideas are too fast for mikes wimpy old body, and your (aero) decently decent excuses...

Go Karts. Man up.

Happy Belated Birthday Sgeti ;) Please tell everyone what day it was...

HUGE Thank You for the opportunity to choose another combo. Last year everyone put some good effort into making great combos that were a blast to race. I look forward to doing it again. Who knows since @GTLehman and @yogi bear will almost certainly go vintage, maybe I'll step away from being predictable and choose something more modern.

Still feeling a little guilty for allowing a couple "other guys" to talk me into those last race shenanigans Monday. I did one lap in reverse, but didn't have it in me to try and hit anyone, then turned back around and finished in the back of the pack - with my head hanging low. Shame (ding-ding), Shame (ding-ding), Shame!

Apologies again for letting things get out of hand, Dad.

I hope you guys pick something like the ford escort or the bmw 2002 stance works. Those cars are a blast.
 
Another anniversary - AND we are still all talking!
You can be sure my choice will be something classic - not some girly choice like a couple of GT3s - thats' what @coltsjugg would choose.
@Rednose58 will choose something German.
@Gr8_Lakes will choose some American muscle.
@sgohsixthree will choose the Rocket Bunny.
@SGETI will send out a tune for his choice which nobody else can drive.
@GUTTERBOY3007 will put sirens on his and chase everyone down.
@yogi bear of course will choose the Cliotoris. You know he runs it in secret lobbies every night.

What a motley group we have here... the product of two BoB daddies, what can you expect - sure produces some ugly childs.

Lessee... Lotus 78 v. '66 Mustang? Or maybe the Ferrari F40LM v. the 250 Testa Rossa. Hmmmmm... Jeremy Clarkson ain't got nuthin' on me...




We’ll run these rules for our second anniversary.


I went to a soccer game and a fight broke out? Street soccer complete with refs?
 
Just an FYI in case anyone was interested in buying the Thrustmaster LED display. Amazon has them on prime for $70. I had some Christmas gift cards to spend, so I just bought one. A friend has one and it’s cool, but not worth it when they were $179, but for $70 it is. There’s only 18 left on Amazon if you’re interested.

The mighty 917 can am Porsche at road America or lemans classic. Eeeeeee!! Scary! Or the Ferrari 512. Or Ford mk4
Oh they don't have the little girly boy assists do they?
Well if you want really close racing... the old 55 Mercedes gull wings. not much tuning to be done. Bump and grind a bit in corners does not result in disaster. Yes they are slow. And you need to momentum drive them.
But I doubt if the blisteringly fast guys will even pull away much.
In fact they might lose.!??..

For some reason I didn’t think you had joined us until PC2. But you started in week 2 of PC1 so I guess we can include you :D
Remember to PM Mike and I your combo, don’t post it here.
