last night "Italian Race" started as 1-make theme with everybody choosing the Alfa Romeo Brera as their weapon of choice.

Not everyone, I had the Alfa 147 Twin Spark. Wasn't Grenade driving a G20?
 
ya unless you want to drive a FF (who actually wants to anyway?) 450pp Italian ends up being a Brera race.
 
No Ferraris or Lambos?

ohh i failed to mention, it was you and Osprey who opt with other cars. I think Osprey had the Maserati the first race and Grenade had the green lunch box in GVE. The rest were Breras!

No Ferraris or Lambos?

by the second race, Osprey declared it 450 open, but others were still sticking with the italian theme. Had some Lambos driven by ???? and some Giulias driven by Nickl and Spoodle. Tried my 147 and the Giulia but it seems the Brera was more competitive to drive. Nobody drove any prancing horse last night....

2 stories of the night:

Osprey couldnt find any Italian truck so he refuse to drive a Brera, but later succumb to the pressure..... :)

Grenade openly declaring that he UNLOCKED Nickl god-like racing prowess........ or he think he did???? :lol:

Here is laps 3-5 on Clubman Stage 5 - Reverse on disko night. I'm in the superbird. Mind you, the thing has crappy brakes. This is from AOK's perspective.

(sorry for the stupid music that decided to play for it... should have muted it)

Beginning of lap 3. Coming up to the first turn, I'm going outside and btk is on the far inside. AOK comes charging in. I Didn't even see him there. I really dont think he could have held that if it weren't for me there. I was slowing to let btk go in front, but to give me better acceleration out of the turn.

Lap 4... all is good until the slow corner in the middle of the coarse. BTK slides, and i cannot stop. I slide into him and force him outside more. Thankfully, he doesn't spin and generally keeps going.

Lap 5... I do not block BTK as he draft passes me. I still felt bad for pushing him out. I try again to go slow in, fast out of the first corner.
I knew that tight right hander would upset his car and was waiting for that chance again. I end up going too wide and brake to avoid taking out BTK again. This gives AOK a chance, which he takes. However, he pretty much cuts me off there, so I was not having any more. I dive in on his inside on the next turn. What you dont see is twichie (yellow muscle car) gives me a little bump which helps me push AOK away. AOK then dives in on me again on the long sweeper and I slide away losing speed. Couldnt recover.

I just found how to get the horn working on my G25. What wheel do you have?

G27, hope it is a similar work around to the g25?

I set mine up with the Driving Force Pro settings. I'm not sure how GT5 sees the G25/27, but that's where I set mine.
 
Been driving the Alfa 147 for quite sometime now, i think you guys gonna love it for this Thursday's one make race. It handles even better than the C30.

Ha. I like it too but last night I could not get the damn thing to turn. I couldn't drive anything though.
 
Anyone hosting anything tonight? Ok... I'll host.

Grenade, do you know what time you're "Green Goblin" runs at Trial Mountain and Daytona?
 
lots of fun yesterday. deep forest was one of the best race i ever had on gt
 
couldnt make it last night, went biking with kids and was too tired to play.
 
they are waaaay over 450.

limiting power (if even possible) by 50% makes the cars suck donkey balls.

My Lambo LP400 was limited in the low 60% and I won the 3 italian only races I entered with the car. (Laguna, Mt Aso and I cannot remember the other) Had I not been stuck trying to pass the Ram on Deep Forest...I'd have given Nic a good run. My poll time was 123:184, which is the quickest I've put a 450PP car around my favorite track.

Not sure how that qualifies as "suck," perhaps we have differing opinions or dictionaries

I also won both races I entered it the night before last (I believe disco night) on Clubman and Tokyo and I think both time Chuyler was the closest and it was nearly 10 seconds

Trial mountain, I have no idea. I don't run that car there as it isn't safe.

Daytona, I don't know as well as I never pay attention :(

It was reverse for sure. When the Wed. Lemons race is over, I'll look for your room and if its not open, I'll drag myself kicking and screaming to Nurb
 
I like Nurb, but why don't we mix it up a bit and do some of the gp tracks in between ring sessions? I love the ring but it's not a good track for passing.

Let's just make it German night. We can use Eifel and all Nurburgring tracks. And if there is a consensus to do other tracks well have to use German cars.

I like that idea. Im not a fan of running the ring all night. Probably cause I never get to finish cause im so far behind

Not sure if I'm going to be online tonight. Trying to get stuff done around the house and I've got too many projects going simultaneously. If I don't post here by 9:30, someone please set up the room for me and I'll join when I can.
