wow....the last one was terrible but this one is goin to be alot better since I'v already ran the race once...

ZOOSO · Jul 23, 2007

Dels old favourite track from GT3 .. looking forward to entering the gate to the pitts

let alone the track ... currently in transit ; arriving early for lots of pre-quailfy testing .

arora · Jul 24, 2007

Another fun one 👍

I'm on the road soon so I ran a quick quali and one complete race to have a safety..... now it's on to testing some strategy

I once again need to complete this thing in one day

or if I need to I can run a little tomorrow night but not much.....

EDIT: I just read the rules again, so 5 points for the pole and 5 points for fastest in race lap? :cool:

and a minute man if the winner is a minute faster then second.

Exactly right, if you noticed, I changed the format of the time submission form.

"You do not have to vary your qualifying/race start tire combo from race to race."

This means that I need to run my qualifying lap on Softs again? :ouch:

That means you don't have to use the same combo each and every race.

As I am leaving this saturday, i raced this one today. Man, I am so confident with my total time. Gonna bit work on the qualifying time though. Beside that, yay 👍

Thanks.
Then this one will be done on RM's.

TS · Jul 25, 2007

I guess no one got the memo that you could now discuss qualifying times, I'm running mid to high 1'21's on R3's.

Ren-Tec · Jul 25, 2007

Oh cool Ts i got a 1'17.905 on R3/R4's so far

TS · Jul 25, 2007

Ren-Tec
Oh cool Ts i got a 1'17.905 on R3/R4's so far

Impressive, no way I could get that sort of time in my CLK, maybe with a wheel (which I don't have

)

Ren-Tec · Jul 25, 2007

I tell you what is impressive is that i got a 1'20.004 on R2/R3's in the race test, smoking it was haha

Avery GT · Jul 25, 2007

Ooh, gewd gewd gewd...I am not so far behind Mr. Ren-Tec :dopey:

R3/R3 - 1'18.3**
R2/R3 (in race) - 1'20.3**

Runing that hot mama Audi A4 too

TS · Jul 25, 2007

My best time so far was a 1'19.790 on R4/R3 tires, I'm running consistent high 1'19 to low 1'20 times.

Although respecting the rules , Del doesn't agree with discussing lap times .
There has already been someones race lap time discussed .. "R2/R3 (in race) - 1'xx.3**"
Dont want to sound like an ass .. but could you please clear/clean this up .. {theres a contradiction in the rules to begin with}

Ren-Tec · Jul 25, 2007

OK Del that was my fault but it was not from my race just a test run, sorry about that. 👍

ZOOSO · Jul 26, 2007

Np Ren .. rules are rules .. and i think breaking them could 'rock the boat' :crazy:

I fixed it, it's also your choice whether or not to discuss your times, I just gave you the option to discuss them.

GTXDriver · Jul 26, 2007

I think it will be much better NOT TO TALK ABOUT ANY - I mean qualifying and race lap - TIMES.
These are valuable points.If I were evil,I could easily score 10 points without doing any laps... :guilty:

Anyway,I posted my result now.👍

I like the time sending format very much.
Good job,TS!It looks that the DTM series will be cool.

arora · Jul 26, 2007

I have to go out of town for a bit so I'm done with this one

not my best effort but I had a ton of fun with it for sure........

I'm going to pm Mike with all my data and let him sort it out and post and submit for me, hope that is ok with everyone.

Great racing 👍

ZOOSO · Jul 26, 2007

Agreed with GTX .. when this series started Del was wondering if he'd have enough time to compete and complete every round ... after the 1st race .. i'm hooked

👍 To the format
👍 To the Audi TT .. really enjoy driving this car .. im now going to do some testing of the A4 , Opel and CLK to see how they all compare {should have done it long before the season started though}

Yep,actually the Abt TT is a very good choice.A little bit tricky but there are many places where you don't need to brake...just lift off the gas.
Because it has a lot of torque,it goes very fast when you use it in the mid-RPM's about 4000-5000...

I'll probably change that for the next round, I'll only let them discuss them in this format: 1'45.xxx.

That's a good idea.Sometimes there is more exciting NOT to know the facts exactly...just like in case of womens. :dopey:

I will send my times tomorrow as I am leaving in saturday (for about 10 days)

Good luck to everyone. I hope I will see myself in the podium spot when I am back. Hehe :sly:

Is it me or does the predictable touring car that I love to drive seem to be outclassed!?!

If you're using the settings I posted in the first post of this thread, it shouldn't be, all the cars make around 450HP and weight 1000kg.

Totally agree ... would prefer to use my imagination on both accounts .. and allowing this much info >>> 01.x1.111 to be discussed

Del has completed 5 sets of 17 laps ; each faster than the previous .. is happy with his strategy and lap times .. though will be on track for a final 6th set before submitting his results { lost 1 second due to a error last time out }
Trial Mountain is very un-forgiving if you do make even the slightest mistake :crazy:
