FRL~WSC IX - THE RACE: O'RAMA. GT-P CHAMPION: LANCEREVO7. GT-O CHAMPION: JAMMY21Open

[RACECAR]

Terrible internet and all, I'm in for the rest of the season. This is after the final season and I sure as hell would at least like to be there for the race, even if it isn't until the end of it.

 

[LancerEvo7]

Just gonna take it easy today. Time to points race.

 

[FlyingFox]

Wonder what the Pro drivers are doing round the A1?

 

[LancerEvo7]

I have a room up to practice.

Best will be in the 1:40's, I'd say, but that won't be me. Toyota can't compete here.

 

[Furinkazen]

Probably be up late tonight.

Well I'm good then. [He says as he probably won't repeat last nights test]

 

[jammy21]

With good lap I could do 1'39s, but normal laps are 1'40s.

 

[LancerEvo7]

We'll be catching you just about every ten laps.

 

[jammy21]

Not lonely race

 

[RACECAR]

Won't make today guys, I can't even sign into PSN and this has been going on for two hours straight.

 

[FlyingFox]

With good lap I could do 1'39s, but normal laps are 1'40s.

STOP IT

Aim for tonight is to be patient whilst lapping GT-O

What times the room opening tonight? Furi said it would be late.

All ok now, be up in 10.

 

[Furinkazen]

Pointless.

 

[LancerEvo7]

That was a nailbiter. Good stuff.

 

[raceorama123432]

Nice championship Jon

Not going to both practicing for next week, no point in getting my hopes up, even if I win he'll still beat me

 

[LancerEvo7]

Goal for next week is to not get punted by a GT while leading by nearly a minute with 5 laps left.

 

[raceorama123432]

Need to stop 🤬 up in the last 🤬 10 minutes of a two hour 🤬 race

 

[chrisjohnson93]

Decent race for me managed to 2 stop the race stopping around 40 & 80 mins in and was a lot more competitive than the rest of the season as was only 1.2 seconds off pole and fastest lap was under a 1:28 and a few other laps were below it as well. Fell off @Panoz towards the end finishing 20 seconds behind with him making 1 more stop?

Favourite part of the race was chasing down @Furinkazen after my first stop and before his errors as at that point I put in around 7 or 8 laps in the mid 28's. Next weekend is all this season works up to the 11th Le Mans classic, this season's been a write off since early in the season because of the Ferrari's dominating and my lack of pace but next week that means nothing. Want to get revenge on @Furinkazen for last season's result coming so close after 3 hours.

Wouldn't mind a few teammate for next week and next season as that hasn't helped the fact I'm the only Jaguar driver

 

[raceorama123432]

Weekends like this make me wonder why I devote 8 hours of my time to GTP racing...

 

[Panoz]

Had to do a 3 stop race due to the Ford's tire wear goes to the 7s on the rear after 30 mins, losing roughly about 2 seconds a lap. The strategy worked well with the fuel going to a half-tank on every run, so I was able to stay ahead of Chris after the last stop.

 

[jammy21]

My race went almost as planned. Start and 1st corner was little mess - miss my brake point - went wide and dropped to 5th (GT-O's). At the end of 3rd lap I was 1st. After that it was keeping steady pace and keep eye on GT-P's lapping.
Couple scary moments but all went ok.
Let's go LeMans...

 

[Furinkazen]

Unless I am really still half asleep this morning, @raceorama123432 can still win if he wins Le Mans and @LancerEvo7 has a GT-P catastrophe. Note these scores include 1st drop.

GT-O however, pretty sure @jammy21 has it sewn up.

 

[FlyingFox]

That was a really great race. @jammy21 shot off like a Finnish scalded cat after his 1st corner incident, @snowgt predicted he would fall away and at first he did except his 1 stop strategy worked very well for him. Most of the race I was looking at the back of @Yeratel84 's car at varying distances except the last 5 laps when I started reeling him in and the last 2 laps reminded me of Monza in a past WSC when we had our epic last lap battle for 1st. On the last lap he overtook me again to claim 4th. Great last lap battle.

Congratulations to Jammy for the GTO Pro title and Jon for winning the GTP title.

Apologies to Yera and Rob for some contact.

Looking forward to Le Mans.

Oh, congrats to @jammy21 to the title! First thought he's still in range of Yera, but of course, if he doesn't race at all, he gets the 16 points back, so he has already secured his title. And well deserved! You obviously found a genius setup for that GT350! 👍

 

[FlyingFox]

It’s still mathematically possible for @CAMikaze to win the GTO Am Class being 22 points behind me.

This means he’ll have to win GTO at Le Mans and me not to turn up or finish out of the points.
