Not trying to be funny, however, at 10% weight increase it's only possible to 1452kg. To get to 1740kg as you suggest requires another 17% increase, something GT4 doesn't support. ;)
Given my comments regarding the result of the last race, what's the deal here?
Need to know a.s.a.p. as I've only a short week to run on this week.
 
Okay,
Error in penalty weight for Nissan Zed fixed 👍
Here is Car Spec SS, as supplied by Supershouden, so everyone can check their stats in case I have ballsed up again.
In my haste to provide last round info, so people were not waiting to get a start, I put the Pontiac 1% weight in instead of Nissan.

So shoot me.

As it was, I was trying to get this done as people at work were bending my ear and distracting me.Had to wait until I got home to actually get a chance to check everything.
It is a surprise actually there were not more errors.
Most people here take their slick internet service for granted, it has taken me 2 hours to put things right and get back on track, due to dropouts, slow uploads and various other glitches. Grrr.

What a waste of frigging time.
I am too old and life is too short to waste like this.
I will see this out then never again take on any management of any tournament. I would rather spend my time drinking a nice Red and watching Sunsets.

Adios.

Aw come on now, you're doing a good job there viperin. Just 2 more weeks to go. Although I'm looking forward to it, I can' t wait till it's all over, too. :crazy:

Your efforts are very much appreciated. 👍 I remember past years when I had dial-up. :banghead: 5 mins for a picture to load up. The Titanic sank faster sometimes. :dopey:

Shooting you wouldn't work. I'd rather have the chance to beat you on the track. :trouble:
 
No probs viperin, and sorry you'd misinterpreted my tongue-in-cheek comment as serious! I did put the winking smiley for emphasis, but I should know better that it's hard to interpret a tone or mood from a text statement. :guilty:

You've done a fantastic job in keeping this going, presenting the results and race threads in a timely fashion since taking over the stewardship and I'll agree with oldmodelt here in that shooting you wouldn't achieve anything.

Do you have a preference in reds? I'll have to send you a bottle by way of apology! 👍

Thank you.
Sorry for my blow up, tough day in general but should not take it out on you guys.My bad.
I missed the emoticon too, so sorry about that.

I am very partial to a good Merlot 👍 ( particularly some of the top of the range Tasmanian ones :) ).

I did not get to do any of the Racing at La Sarthe ( ran out of time and enthusiasm !! ).
Looking forward to the GV Races though, this track is an old favorite.

Good luck all.
 
I plan on participating in this one, too.
 
Ditto what Parnelli Bone, oldmodelt and Smallhorses just said, 👍 on all your hard work viperin, and:tup: on getting this race series to the end. Thanks!

Now since we're already at La Sarthe, and I know its a lot of trouble for Viperin to pack up all the scoring equipment and ship it to Grand Valley, and book rooms for all the track stewards, and make sure all the Continental Tire girls are happy, maybe we could just run the final 100 mile race at La Sarthe II? I would not complain:D

See you at the races!

As promised. Even if you don't want it. One of the races Viperin missed while cursing at the internet. No doubt he would have knocked me down a place to fifth. A fun game that can be had for pennies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXygYRr433E
 
Nice race video oldmodelt!👍

You made short work of those other bikes!

You're lucky lap # 4 did not come to tears with the pit lane entrance wall!

It's not that hard. TT has a system similar to the ASpec pts system. This bike is definitely on the easy side. 10 pts maybe. There are some bikes where I could run the same times and I still finish 2nd by 5-10 sec.

edit: 15 or so lap. Nice session. What with the bike race last week. Hopefully I have the correct lines to make it competitive with you guys. Will try another time if I can put the SuperGT and TGT4 to bed.

edit: No time for more practice. Time Submitted.

Had a good hour & a half to run at this today and took my best of 40 laps to beat the goal I'd set for myself. 👍
Time submitted.
 
G'Day all !

Results updated ( double checked and vetted for accuracy :) :).... (I hope :nervous:) ).
Whew ! Great times guys, very close racing indeed.

I decided not to enter my times, as I thought I would keep out the way and let the Class leaders slug it out without my interference.

I have to go out for a few hours, so I will post Race thread later on.
You have all the details required so should not be a problem having a slight delay.

Regards.

Criminy, I can't believe it. :dopey: I'll have to go on record here and note I did not use the aprons at this track. In effect I was inside the white lines the entire time, just as the rules state. Just saying this because at Deep Forest the aprons were useable, but I made sure not to drive over them here at GV.

So there's a chance (a small chance, but still a chance) I could possibly catch up to the leading Z-car in GS, especially as horsepower comes into play at this track. It ain't gonna happen, but as my dad always says "never say never".

It is my understanding that the "aprons" ie., concrete area behind the rumble strips, are in play as long as you keep at least "two wheels" on the track at all times and do not cross the yellow or white lines with more than two wheels. Rumble strips not counting as track has been the standard during this and most race series's that I have participated in the last years. If I am incorrect then please disallow my run. If I have inadvertantly jumped to an incorrect conculsion then please disregard this post.

That is all correct.
You can of course drive on rumble strips, concrete aprons, grass, sand,leaves,roadkill etc. as long as two wheels are within the area defined as "Track" ( ie white or yellow lines, as for this tourney).
Clear as mud ( I hope ) :)
 
Cool. 👍 Looking forward to the race. I'm not sure if I'll do ST class, or if I'll concentrate more solely on GS this week. What do you guys think?

If you don't run the ST Class and just CAM, Drift and I run it. I am guaranteed a 3rd place series tie with Drift at the worst. :indiff: But if you run you can probably decide (along with Cam) that there will be only a single 3rd place. 💡 That assumes that you guys beat one of us. :sly: And I can guess that Drift might have the same incentive as I do in this race. :trouble:

"So the gauntlet is thrown down". :)

The expression goes back to Medieval times, in the days of chivalry and combat. Throwing down the gauntlet was the knight’s method of choice for challenging another knight to a duel. Picking the gauntlet up was the signal that the challenge had been accepted.

PS. You do have a nice skip. :lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhRUe-gz690
