Important announcement:

Due to the US Grand Prix this weekend, the race will be moved to November 9. I think most of us here are F1 fans, and would like to watch the race. All other race dates will remain the same, check the calendar if you're unsure of the race dates, check the calendar. Spread the word.

You're going to make my teammate angry, he's not had a beer for two weeks... I like it! :D
 
So I can kick back and relax drink some Ouzo Sunday morning (always wanted to try that) and not worry about doing a race on Sunday afternoon right?

Yep
 
Oh perfect. Was just about to write in that I couldn't make it because of COTA. Thanks, stiggy. Much appreciated.
 
Ran a few at Tokyo today, can say the mega tire wear is back... Hoping not to disconnect this week knock on wood should have a reasonable race if I can not hit the walls....
 
Really enjoying driving Tokyo, easy 11.7-8s on full fuel (11.4 fastest sectors full fuel) but it is a different story in turbulent air behind another car.... I really struggle there... guess I am going to have to qualify in pole!

Thats a real fast time but the tires means that getting a speedy lap isn't all of it,Tire wear is as bad as its been in years on Gran Turismo... Race could come down to who can stay off the walls and who doesn't burn through their entire rears and spin out. :lol: Not looking forward to stopping 4 times. Some might not even be able to make it on 4, they might have to do 5. :banghead:

That is what makes this the most fascinating race of the season so far... traffic in qualifying, a fraction late on turn in T2, etc can lose .3, if I have that ambition for pole, then anyone can achieve it too... then race strategy is paramount for anyone not P1...

The area where I live (USA) is changing clocks the day of the race. The room will be open at 15:00 EST. If you are unsure what that time that is where you are LOOK IT UP.

Just double checking...it is tomorrow, rather than the 9th; ie Sunday, correct?

Yeah, sorry about that. You're right, it's Sunday.

If its tomorrow I won't be making it. I have to head to work by the time race starts.
 
:D Ok good deal. Thanks for that edit. I wasn't sure if you meant "your right (saturday)" or "your right, i meant the 9th" lol
 
I'm tempted to run an underpowered car... Much better tyrewear, a little slower for 4 laps, faster for 5+ laps!
 
confirming will be racing today, I use the term racing liberally.
