Kevin you left the winning car out of the Laguna results.

No i didnt, i included all registered members of the series.


Havent had time to practice here. I think all Im gonna do is adjust my transmission for the next race.

I havent made many changes with my setup vs Laguna, just height and ballast really. You should do alright with the previous setup.
 
What times are you getting? I'm in at 2.00-2.01? Only practiced about 5 or 6 laps so far. Car feels good though.
 
I got a 1:59...something a couple of times, but mainly in the 2:00, 2:01 area. Are those times for the GT class?
 
Yup, in the Evora earlier this year I was hitting 2:00.flats, so 1:59's will be qualifying speed.
 
What's Furinkazen doing here? If he's trying to get me into trouble... :scared: "What happens in other series, stays in other series."
 
I'm killing my tyres at about lap 6, I'm really not sure what to do aside from brake earlier with less brake balance.

Edit ~ 1:59.009 is my best time so far; not bad.

Will the race today be over at 10 P.M.?

If not, it's okay.

I signed up as a tuner in a different series, and a driver (but not necessarily for sure yet, if I can drive in that series) but those races begin @ 10 P.M. Attendance isn't mandatory, it's just suggested.
 
Yeah... I guess I might miss today's spec racing. THEY'D BETTER POST UP THE RESULTS AND VIDEOS. Hahaha... yeah...
 
I think there are really only two guys that are showing up consistantly for LMP. Seth and PiPi. Seth is here on the forums usually. PiPi is quieter but usually shows up.

Good news is that it might be guranteed podium for you thougb. 👍

Jeez no. I was sending a PM about what tech specs are used in this series, don't stress 👍.
 
In the Bentley i was able to get 1:46's pretty consistently, the Toyota is a bit slower though.
 
So Im guessing no one else got DC'ed when I got off? Sorry bout that guys, something happened here in the house and I had to take care of it.
 
So, I'll wait to see what happens to Yera & Mock for their horrible driving... I was on pace, but, my temper ****** me up bad today.
 
Sucks you got DC'd Flyin. Great race all. I do apologise to Kevin if I did run him into the sand trap at the end. On my screen, I do not think I made contact with you. I will take responsibility if I did as I can assure you it was not intentional. It was a great battle, though. The best I ever had. Still shaking from it. :) I will look at the replay to verify.

EDIT: After watching the replay, I did not make contact initially, but rather I clearly had the inside line and it seamed that you cut back inside. Contact came past halfway through the corner. I'll try to record it on a camera and upload it to Youtube.

Either that or there was lag.

But whatever the outcome, I still had fun.

But I'll leave it up to the stewards if they want to incur a penalty.

EDIT: Youtube Video

OK so here's how it is.

I had an extremely bad race, and here's why:

THAT GUY, I'm sorry, but you were not visible to me. The "buy internet" comment was really crappy of you--I can't afford internet, you guys know I'm poor. That's not an excuse. I'm an adult living on my own, not with my parents, and I have bills and school and this is not a priority. I had only 8 people on my screen (which I didn't realize wasn't everyone for a good part of the race). That guy, I didn't even KNOW I was punting you, so it's better if you calm down and act like an adult--it's a playstation game for god's sake. It was mistaken, I didn't feel the bumps AT ALL between us, didn't even know you were invisible until you made a comment mid race. So I am sorry, but I'm also not going to take unwarranted crap about it. All of us regardless of internet have had the invisible problem in the past. I'm not the first.

SECOND--Mr. Mel, that incident where you rudely gunned it into me after I passed and honked to boot is absolutely ridiculous. And then you blocked me AGAIN at the end of the race, going slow on purpose next to Pipi who had already finished and was idling. Stay on your line. That goes for all GT cars. I had multiple GT incidents where GT cars got off line which ended up blocking me because I'm waiting for them to take their proper line into the corner meanwhile they're on the opposite side of the road. Then when I do pass, they go super aggressive and nose-dive me into the corner. Guys, I'm off line, I need you not to stick your nose into places when I've already completed a pass.

I'm sorry if I ruined any races, but it IS a game and it WAS a mistake. So let's keep things in perspective. Have I ever been cruel or dirty to you guys on purpose? No. How many incidents have I ever caused in all the seasons? Practically none. So seriously, being hot heads doesn't solve stuff.

ANYWAY. I'm done with GT5 for a while, I think. I have too much else going on in my life to devote my emotions to this series. I love racing with gatrs, flyin, THAT GUY, Pipi, Jav, and everyone else who have stayed on. But I think at least the rest of this season I'm taking a good long break.

It's funny because I've always been a clean racer. So I don't know how I can, on my own, have clean laps that are practically on pace (1:48s at some points), and then get into traffic and have such a difficult time. I don't go punting people, those I can see, and I think I'm capable of clean passes as long as GT traffic is predictable and exercises the same caution I try to in the corners.

Say what you want, I'll try to respond rationally and explain anything I can. I just know as slow as I might be I'm not a dirty racer...

ADDITIONALLY: I had no problems passing Yera, weird how that works.
 
TT13, you had lost. You were last for the whole race. Instead, you hit me in the Michael S S-Kurve, brake checked me, and spun out... Haha, YOU'RE SO CLEAN, I MISTOOK YOU FOR A CHAMBER POT.
