If anyone is still looking for a car, the BMW Z4 GT3 isn't a bad option if the BoP plays alright into its favor. Just bought one the other night. It's alot of fun to drive. Almost like a go-kart if you're good at placing front-engined cars well in corners. I think it has one of the smaller, if not the smallest, of the Gr. 3 front-engined motors which is great when getting the car to rotate mid-corner.

Given the track selection for the schedule, I'd say it would really shine at Tsukuba and possibly Suzuka. It is at a disadvantage on higher-speed circuits like Le Mans and Fuji given its compact performance specifications (similar to the mid-engined Alfa 4C), but I think Polyphony has been adjusting the BoP algorithms to bring the true Gr. 3 cars closer with the McLaren F1 and Ford GT. This COULD mean well for the cars that now get little to no showtime.

I mean really..does the Z4 or the 458 even get used much anymore? I rarely see them in daily races and I would imagine they're driven mainly by brand loyalists?
 
I let folks know where my loyalty is here.

I saw you get out of the way the first full distance race we did when I finished P1 and I do the same bro that's why league is so much better than daily races. Is so hard to convince ppl to just focus on rank. I got to within a millimeter of getting my A rank before others caused me to drop halfway in B rank. Still trying to get that back up

Yeah when there's evidently no give and take, you're bound to get screwed in some way, shape or form. You could be minding your own business and get hit with a penalty for "blocking" because the guy behind you forces moves that would create situations of avoidable contact.

Defending is part of racing. Just have spacial awareness and use your radar

Yea but if u know the person in front of you is faster, if you get punted out by them on the first corner, that was uncalled for. The race will come down to who is most consistent and saves fuel and tires. Not who's lucky or compromised someone else's race for their own
 
Once everyone understands where they stand on the grid order, the quality and pace of everyone should go up because they know that how fast they average lap times will ultimately decide where they are in the ranks. The field should get closer once you know how important qualifying is

Hey sorry for leaving this for the last minute but I've been busy with midterm projects. I'm gonna go home now and work this out. I'm assuming the limit is now 3 drivers per car which means I can't use my car for last season. If that's the case I've got two options I'd have to try when I get home before making a choice. Unless something unforseen happens I intend to race tonight.

I would never consider you an enemy. It gives me great pleasure when Louisville wrecks the ACC, especially them Carolina teams. Kentucky is my heart and soul. I would never turn my back on home. We may wear different colors, but I'll cover you anytime. As our State Motto says: United We Stand, Divided We Fall.

Sic Semper Tyrannis!


PS. I actually live in NC. My hometown is Pikeville, KY. Home to my soul and the Hatfield/McCoy feud. And yes, I'm related to both.

I think qualifying should still be based on a hot lap because it requires a different skillset when compared to race pace. The added pressure forces you to get it right the first time.

On attacking and defending, it is really about knowing your opponents. You'll know who you can race hard with and who might need some more room. Being consistent matters, but once that is established, close racing is 100% doable without "taking it easy".

Many of the drivers I've raced in Snail know that I'll defend against you so you'll at least have to earn the overtake, but at the same time, I'll send it if you leave the door open or make a mistake. Knowing that much helps both parties to avoid accidents

That's funny because I lived in Winston Salem NC for 10 years before I moved back to Louisville.

I was a huge Cards fan all my life but after it was discovered they were cheating and they pulled our 2013 National Title from Louisville I just can't seem to care about them anymore.
 
I agree with that, they both have their strong points, but here's a hypothetical, say you qualify ahead of me by 2 tenths, I know your faster on your own, but I'm following so I can mimic your line and braking points and stay with you the first half of the race, but since I'm behind, I can draft and turn my fuel back on straights when drafting and lift early for turns. You see me fall back a couple hundred meters before the braking point so u know I'm saving fuel, which means I will come out of the pits ahead of you, but now your following me, and I know it's easier for you to follow me, than for me to follow you, so all the pressure is now on me to stay consistent, but since your following with no issues, your tires are better and can overtake me easily on last couple laps of the race.

Its just sad. What a huge blow that whole scandal was to a long time fan. Not sure I will ever get past it. We still have Kentucky to pull for and I also pull for the NC Tar Heels.

Sorry for Hijacking your thread I just thought it was cool seeing other that live near by.

I know it's all fun. I actually started thinking I may be taken seriously by somebody with my banter.
 
I’ll provide an updated grid in a couple hours.
Deadline to confirm is 5pm Central / 6pm Eastern if you haven’t done so already.
Last count had 25 drivers on the grid. We will use 2 lobby’s which will be randomly selected.
I will post lobby assignments (A & B) once that has been completed.
I will host lobby A (PSN nog3861) and @TexasJDC (PSN TexasmostHated) will host lobby B.
Opening night of Season 2 looks like it’s going to be a good one Drivers!
 
Press Conference
Driver Dimelo JJ (PSN Seebhero)

Im officialy out of the team Wild Stallion Racing, Im sorry with @Cornbread243 for doing this now.
But I wasnt that confident with the mustang , but I have found the car that feets me perfecly.( BMW GT 2011). And because of the regulations of the ARL , I am forced to leave the team WSR.( The regulations state that the team needs to have the same manufacturer) ,

Wish the best for @Cornbread243 and all the sponsors.
Sincerely DimeloJJ (Seebhero) now driver of BMW

Said the ex driver of the Wild Stallion Racing team today at the press conference

Team deathwish coffee driver had this to say about team window licker driver @Neutty comments. I find it funny that he is still harping about illegal mods and such on our vipers they passed every single tech they were ran though the simple fact is @Neutty and the unlimited funds from TRD still just didn't have the talent to compete with top drivers such as myself and @Herimopp89. I must admit I was aware of his laxative addiction but didn't feel it was affecting his driving in anyway. As far as season 2 goes I feel TRD had to go and find an entire possy to try and hold myself and @Nick Cannella up because they know that himself and the car alone couldn't get it done
