Nah I'm just an average guy, just made a decision not to use my shifter kart anymore this year, bruised my left rib by hitting a curb way too hard. So that saves me $200 for tires and a $100 for fuel and entry fees, so that all went into my new baby:)

Don't worry I'll probably need time to get used to it, but after that look out buster:)
 
i got quite exited when i looked in the online collectors dealership until i realised it was an FGT i already owned -.-
 
Yes, how sandman laughed as he bought his new lotus and I got the McLaren colour (that I already had) AGAIN!!!! 👎
 
I just bought the white FGT with purple stripes :D

Purples my fav colour!

I'll be in for practice tonight.
 
im sure purples a beiber colour. so therefore etid is a beiber fan! :embarrassed: my estimation of you has dropped dramatically. I need the practice so someone give me a shout on PSN if they are practicing. I really dont want to do it on my own its boring
 
No practice for me until official free practice tomorrow as I am off out tonight hopefully no hangoverby the time qualifying starts.
SM- Can you put Pagey in for Alex on the roster, he has decided he cant keep up.
Everyone- Reminder of the rules again for Suzuka, same as Nurburg GPF, stewards will come down hard on dodgy racing. No blocking, cutting the chicane, deliberate contact etc.
Next season is no penalties and strict stewarding. TCS is limited to 1 I will speak to you all about limiting ABS at the next race.

From primary research into the fuel consumption of the Suzuka track and race up and coming i have come up with 10 litres will last you 2.29 laps.Therefore throught the entire race you should expect to use around 196.650655 litres of fuel. Meaning you need to fuel up 97 litres to be round up for safety.This (and i must insist this) is an estimate and therefore should not be used exactly.

Well it should balance out you silly sod :D . all this is an estimate you'd have to take how you are going to drive into account :)
 
Easy ladies, put your handbags away!
ccobx- we are all lapping around 1.29's average. 1.26.994 is the fastest achieved but this is very rare so your pretty much on the money mate.
Oh and use soft tyres, apparently they wear the same.
Always practice online too!

That lap was a one off i havent been able to get within .2 of second since im running high 1:29's most of the time and are u serious about the softs cause thatll be a help
 
cccobx1- That is what people have been saying to me mate but I would rather you decided yourself so you cant blame me but after some testing I believe them and will not be running anything but softs until it is patched.

Skate- Vote registered, cheers.

Everyone- See you shortly :)
 
Etid- Man you missed a good race, it would have been 15 if you and sandman had made it. Gutted you missed it mate.

SM- It was a good race shame you wasnt there and I dont get to do you a profile until Monza now.

Everyone lets have your race reports! Mine later :)
 
Hi guys, ive finally managed to register on here.
All in all a good race! and congrats to Ronin he was absolutely unbeatable today. i had a shocker of a start, i span about 8 times over the first 10 laps, i was 8th and around 40 seconds behind the lead on lap 11!!
but i stuck in there and finished in 3rd, annoyed that i span so much, cus otherwise i would have been challenging for 1st, as i was 40 seconds behind or so at the end. but never mind didnt do too badly in the end.
Well done everyone :)
Oh yeah and that was on a 3 stopper so how i finished 3rd i dont know

Nice Review ellis, can you copy it to here though?

Hey Pagey, nice report, you did well today. I had about 5 mistakes and wasnt expecting 2nd as I am horrible on this course. Ill post my report soon. Glad you made it onto the site, the OP has been updated now so check it out :)
 
Cheers, I wasnt too bad but no chance against Ronin on this track. 2nd was more than I needed :)

My race was unusual in the fact that for large parts I was on my own :(
I made a decent start, qualified 3rd and managed to catch a draft into the first corner, I pushed on and was keeping up with Ronin and Pagey, soon we were racing ahead of the pack. At the chicane I tried to outbrake one of the lads but smashed into the tyres and got a 5 second penalty to boot.
I was 15 seconds behind but more importantly Ronin got into his stride and consistently put over a second a lap on me. Pagey spun off so I got into second. After tussling with pagey due to spins and pit stops I found myself in second by 25 seconds with a 40 second lead over 3rd. Overall I am pleased as I expected t finish 4th/5th on this, one of the more difficult tracks for me.
Most of the race I was on my own :( but it was a clean race so happy with that.
Special congratulations to Ronin for winning and also to the rookie cccobx who had a very good race and only lost positions due to running out of go go juice :) lesson learned perhaps!
Now for Monza! Cant wait :)
 
Had a bit of a slow start and had a one of the steadiest races of my life. never had a full spin but of i missed calculated how much fuel i needed for a final stint and ran out with 3 corners to go otherwise i was flirting with a podium my first race. congrats to ronin cause that was some seb vettel style winning:)
 
I'm happy i won today:) Race was really straightforward for me, got the pole and wasn't challenged mostly. First couple laps I concentrated on getting a little gap, thanks to my competitors it happened for me. The rest of the race I just tried to be respectful of the lap traffic. Most of my crashes were because I was trying to pass lap cars without going through them, plus my little nephew was talking in the background. Hopefully next season we are all a little more familiar with this track, and we have a closer race. Bring on Monza!!
 
Hi Guys ... wasn't a great race for me but congrats to Ronin he did a great race.... Oh wow I had my own troubles like going into the pits to fuel up and hitting the wall, the car was then spun round and I was facing backwards.. So actually I couldn't fuel up:( .....it was like a drive through penalty actually., on my second pit stop the computer reckoned I needed 90 ltrs of fuel to do 12 laps?:crazy: I think the computer wasn't calculating properly ,giving me too much and some drivers not enough fuel. That maybe why some of you ran out of fuel.Never mind there is always Monza (note to oneself.... must do better cos these young guys are far too quick !!!!!!!!!!!!). Overall I thought the race was very clean. Is Ronin going to change his name to Sebastian lol ;)
 
cccobx1- I was certain you were going to finish 3rd/4th when I was checking the running order and was thinking that was pretty decent for a debut. Obviously you will be challenging the standings next season if you make most of the races.

Ronin- How do I contact your nephew? I could offer him some dollars to talk your head off every race and maybe unplug your wheel :)

Electric- Definately a poor showing yesterday mate, it is unusual for anyone to run out of fuel let alone 3 drivers. Maybe there was an issue on that track with the final stop. Monza should be better for us seniors as there are less corners to remember :) With the drafting effect it should be a lot closer and the key will be who crashes and who doesnt.
 
Yeah was a super race.
I made many little mistakes which caused me some seconds (maybe pagey => podium).
Plus at the final stint, where I was running consistant 1:29´s, I got overtaken by Pagey but never saw him on the Track (I saw him at the beginning and during race but I didn´t see him overtake me *wierd*).
Anyway had 3 lead-laps *drums-please xD* but I think this caused me some seconds too.
18-15-12 where my stints
=> 2 stops but this Track is to fuel intensive
=> I had to refuel 40 respective 50 liters => stood 50 seconds each stop in the pits -_-

I had some nice duells with smithaz, ellis and Ronin (I led him pass me at Spoon because he had new Tires mine where halved and I wanted to pit anyway => I saved our races instead of trying the impossible ;)).
Plus my start was kinda nice :D
I think this was one of the best Races, maybe THE best.

=> I´m looking forward to Monza

I´m looking forward to Monza
