My car must of looked really slow because everyone was going for late brake moves on me in the corners .

Monza should be better.

You looked like you were having traction problems. Damn near everybody was dive bombing everyone to pull of a pass. Since we didn't turn more then 160 mph of speed if you were lucky there was no room for draft passing. You had to wait for a mistake from the the guy in front, or setup a decent block pass which still was hard since I personally couldn't draft hard enough to even get on the side of someone, so hence the dive bombs. Now with you in particular since I followed you for a while, this is what I saw. Usually when I catch up to your pack I normally file in behind you and follow you around track catching your draft for faster lap times and create me a gap to my pack of drivers If I can hold on long enough. If I can keep up with you for a decent amount of time then that's when I'll go for a pass on you. Yesterday I saw you on track and I didn't try to pass you at 1st but it seemed like you could not put the power down at all. Your Corning or corner in looked fine but your car kept getting un balanced at corner exit and then it looked like you were having power over problems when you got back on the gas. After that happen for a whole lap and Will got passed you that's when I got desperate and went for my over take in turn 1 & 2. Honestly your car looked like you where running no TCS, and/or had your accel LSD turned up to 60. I'm not sure if at the last min you turned you TCS off or not but if you did run no TCS then that would make a whole lot of sense. 👍
 
I actually found that you can draft at motegi, just after the sector 1 line there's a long run till the next braking zone.

Requires observation from the car ahead but I pulled off Afew passes going into there.

On a Monza note, I love this track. Going to be doing a lot of running next week. Not cos I've got so much to learn, just fact it's a brilliant track haha

I 2nd this comment, here here! 👍


~The stewards who were eligible have decided that the Lap 7 contact between Zach and Skeng was a racing incident. I was deemed Zach left enough space on the outside and there was no intent to force Skeng off the track. No penalties will be applied'

Might I ask, whose choice was the spa circuit?

Not sure if we run the 2003 NSX. We run the premium version.

There's no room in the Takata Dome, but you can pick the Raybrig or Autobacs NSX
 
Thanks Zach. Might add a couple of you and pick a car. It would be my father and I running.


Jaedon and NBA336

Myself and Joetruckv8 host the races so you definitely need to add the 2 of us :P.

That's fine, cars with 2 open slots are the Autobacs NSX, Raybrig NSX, Yellowhat Supra and the Dunlop SC430.

All of which are premium cars so easily purchasable.
 
Thanks. We own them all lol

I'm going to send calum a pm to make sure he going to participate full time with Takata Dome, but if your we're planing on bring 2 drivers to the grid then another NSX would be the way to go anyways since Ghaek is a consistent driver for Team Takata Dome. Team Raybrig seems to be more popular them Arta so maybe you guys might land there?!,..

On another note I like to remind drivers that if your race goes bad and you get frustrated which is quite all right and has happen to all of us, remember to pull into the pits not off track somewhere and remain there to the completion of the race to have for succes ballast removed! 👍
 
Anyone have a room up right now

Us US guys get down Monday thru Friday starting from 5pm till midnight. There are 2 to 4 of us on any giving night. Add Sinlander, Tyson, Seth, and I to join our lounges. 👍


I got a question for you guys. For those of you who saw the Moto Gp race this past Sunday, the incident between Nicky Hayden & Andrea Dovi before the start/finish in our series would of that same move been a race incident in our Autobacs series? Out of all series out there irl Moto Gp is the most lenient when it comes down Stewarding. I could see it closing out the way it did, but I figured if Dovi's Team went to the Stewards and said "Hey Nicky knocked both of us off track" I could see that going down to a Stewards decision. I guess the gloves are off since Nicky is gone next year with nothing to lose!

Wish i knew about that parking in the pits before Motegi
 
For spa I'm thinking dry qualifying. Race start 100% surface water, 50% weather, and change on 5.
But if anyone has any input I'm open to suggestions
 
I think qualifying should be right before the race
 
In case anyone decide to do a few laps later tonight, call me on PSN... depending on how late that is, I might still join...

Both of you guys added! 👍

1.45.094 RS, low hp
1.46.082 RM, full hp

I'm guessing aim for the 44's and 43's the way my P1 session went. I hit this without even tuning yet. I also found 5 different pit windows also.
