Not sure what's happened, but evidently my connection has gone haywire. I'm done racing tonight. :(
 
How'd the racing go last night? My connection randomly took a dump for a couple hours midway through that first race. I still have no idea what happened, but it was aggravating.

We went ahead and raced, but we didn't take it too seriously. It was fun though.

I ended up winning the first race by a slim margin, but the rest of the races... I don't want to talk about it.

The 1st race was EPIC! RO86 and Xrad battled the entire race. :cheers:
 
I'm looking forward to racing with you guys again saturday night.
I took the silvia for a spin this morning in the turtle club. She's a little light in the rear end once your up to speed, must not be much down force on the rear. But it's a fun ride. It should be an interesting race.

I think we should make side bets to see who is the first one to spin sideways into the pits...

:lol: I can't think of a race there when someone didn't manage to do that.
 
I don't see a room open psycho. Are y'all racing tonight?
 
10 minutes to start. Is anybody starting a room?
 
Psycho can't host tonight. And my internet has been moving at a snail's pace all night.
 
I'm making a room now

I just hope the other GT4 teams didn't think it was unfair...

They did. But oh well. They're just upset over not winning.
 
Thanks RO. It wasnt fair, but that's not our fault. I told AJ we didn't need all that BoP at Fuji, but hey noone listens to me, i just proved it to him instead! :lol:
The car was hopeless at Monza and WE got dominated, so it all evens out in the end. For some reason the DART team was very slow in their X-Bow. Maybe i need to talk to Euclid and help them out a little if i can.

Tonight was actually a pretty close race. Psycho and I traded the lead back and forth a few times as each of us went off track and/or pitted (we had to pit at least once and put on different compound tires). X-rad got sneaky, starting on hards and pitting at the end of lap 1 for mediums. Psycho and I made too many mistakes and X-rad made his mediums last to take the win. I finished 3rd, less than 7 seconds back. Psycho was only about 4 seconds behind in 2nd. Considering the race was almost 1 1/2 hours long, that was a heck of a close finish. We were happy to have Racing join us as well, and despite being a little bit behind us, he kept on trucking to the finish and beat the timer. :)

Now I know how Lewis Hamilton felt at Monaco. In practice I specifically tried to test the RH tires with low fuel to get an idea when it would be best to change to them, but when I pitted the dialog box disappeared when I tried to change the tire compound and it filled the car up and put new RMs on. I thought about going around and changing to the RHs, but I would have had a full tank and wouldn't have been able to get an accurate idea of the performance difference. Anyway, that glitch cost me the race win because I was 1 second a lap slower on RHs than I was on the worn RMs and I changed with 13 laps to go. If I had known the RHs where that much slower I guess I could have gone 38 laps on the RMs and changed with one lap to go, but that certainly wouldn't have been in the spirit of the rule. Time for a rule change.
 
I suggest this: we have a pit window at a certain point in the race that the pits will be open. You must make your pitstop in this window, if not, you get a penalty. Say, around 30 minutes if it's an hour race (25-35?). Thoughts? This is used in another series I'm in, it works fairly well.

I hadn't thought of that, but I like the possibilities of it. Thanks!
