When was the last wagon night?
 
Centuries ago. So it will just be 4wd night. XD

Since you're asking the question, here's how I saw the pass you made on me. I keep my map scale on 2 so I can see everything close to me. I saw you behind me, and as I entered the corner and made my turn in you were not making a move, so I tried to take my normal racing line but went a bit too deep and missed the apex but still with lots of momentum. After the turn in point, you decided to go inside of me, hit me, took me into the wall, cost me a couple of seconds and the draft and continued on. I may have run a little wide into the corner, opening the door for a move, but the obligation is still on you to make the pass cleanly and without putting someone into the grass or into the wall. Had there been no wall, I would have been off the track, spinning in the grass.

I didn't complain at the time, nor would I have mentioned it but you did ask for feedback so there it is...lol. That's why I never ask for feedback...lol.

Basically i lost you in my view mid corner and i turned in too early when you missed the braking point. I wasnt planning to pass until the opportunity presented itself. I tried to leave one lane on the outside but i crossed the line of the middle lane slightly when we made contact. I didnt pin you or lean on you...but i should have left a few more feet. I dont think you would have ended up in the grass if the wall wasnt there though.

No you didn't pin me but you hit me hard enough for me to hit the wall, and like I said, if the wall is the edge of the track, then there's no doubt I would have been in the grass, and if you get two wheels in the grass on the outside of a corner you're usually done. So at Road Course Indy it would have been a disaster, at Tokyo it's just a couple of seconds lost.

It's no big deal, like I said, I wasn't gonna mention it but you asked..lol. You asked if it was dirty and I guess it depends on what you consider dirty. I would say it is the kind of thing that people complain about in this thread and on the boards ad nauseum. I got punted at Indy under braking after making a clean pass, someone cut down on me at Nurb while passing me before being completely clear, twice I think...happens all the time. It's why I keep my map view on 2 so I can see what's happening around me without having to use the side and rear view buttons.

Forgot, I think I won the first RX-8 race last week, so I guess that means I pick the car and track this week. I haven't been around long but it looks like you guys usually stick with premiums so they are readily available. My first choice would be the Samba Bus if that's ok, but I don't think it gets to 450pp. If not, then the S2000 would be my second choice, either the 2006 from the dealership or any standard S2000 would be fine I think. For the track lets go with Monza without the chicane to start.
 
Sorry bub, I already picked the Samba bus. Premium S2000 it is.

Also, I'll be there for 80's night. Got my paper done! :D
 
Why can't the Samba bus be ran again ?

It was a fun night with the bus
 
Look up Reins ^^^^

Up where ? Where BTK is saying we can not run the buses again ?

Let me rephrase my original question.


Why would the Samba buses be unable to be ran again ? Since when is a vehicle rendered completely off-limits for One-Make Night once it is used ? The buses were a lot of fun.
 
Id like to mix things up with different cars. We havent exhausted the selection yet so lets do the S2000

I see your Accomplishments sections and raise you an additional award :D
 
That lag last night, and people getting kicked was terrible. I hope we can resolve it, I don't think its PD. But someone with that bad of a connection.
 
Let's do Keicars tonight. I've been hearing people ask about it. Make sure you actually pick a kiecar though. 660 cc limit is the japanese regulation on what defines a Keicar. There are some subcompact cars that may look like keicars, but actually aren't. You must pick something other than the Cappuccino. We ran that a few weeks ago and I believe it is much faster than the rest of the keicars.


Monday 8/22: Keicar Night -- 450pp, SS Tires
660cc maximum displacement, 3.4x1.5 meter maximum dimensions.
If it doesn't meet those restrictions, it's not a Keicar!
Suzuki Capp is not allowed.

Tonight? I can do it.
 
Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but I found this kind of funny. I'm buying parts for my Daihatsu Move that I might be running tonight, and when I go to install Engine Tuning Stage 3 it shows the car losing horsepower :lol: Has anyone else had this happen to them? I find it kind of odd that I'd be paying 30,000 cr just to make my car slower.

No, but I've seen rounding errors: install a power part that doesn't actually increase HP but does increase PP by a point.
 
Just a tip for Keicar tuning. You'll have to shift early to stay in the power band. Most of them are crippled at high rpms. If you still aren't shifting manually, tonight's the night to try it.
 
I would love to join in on this series.

Show up with the right car; don't drive like a jerk. That's all you have to do.
 
Precisely. Send me a PSN message and I'll send a friend req back for you to join in tonight's racing. My friend list is full, but I can always make room.

Is it possible to post a short list of cars that fit this category? I'm not really enthusiastic about going through my garage looking at car displacement and dimensions...lol...please....
 
Honda Beat
Premium Daihatsu's
Mazda AZ-1
Fiat 500
There are a couple other's, that I'm planning to run, but I just can't share them due to them being secret.
 
I wasn't aware that the Fiat 500 fit the bill. The Autozam is a good choice, but I'd recommend a spoiler. It can be a little twitchy without one.
