I was quite pleased with the above lap:)

My Honda Weider has clocked 494 miles which makes it my top mileage Geezer car:

Well dun GT!! Awesome driving bud! Many, perhaps MOST of us will NEVER get around "tha ring" without getting the feared DQ in a time anywhere near your blistering lap,, Good on ya pard!
 
@GTsail290
It may not be the appropriate time to celebrate, but I just wanted to let you know that I have managed to scrub off yet another 1,324 seconds off my time @ Nürburgring Nordschleife, finally beating my Austrian arch-rival by 0,701 seconds, using this slightly modified tune, Traction Control 4 only this time:

For those who are interested:



Thanks so much for sharing your set up with us Ema, it works exceptionally well for me bud and I very much appreciate the help. I've given up trying to break into the 29's but das OK,, achieving a decent 7:33 (I'm not signed on to PSN as I type this but I think I made a 7:33 lap) is too cool for me and I'm one happy ol dude to have made it around in that time without getting the dreaded DQ! Twice thumbs UP and Thanks again!
 
I'm stuck in the pits.:banghead: My G29 will only turn "lock to lock" continuously when turned on. 👎👎 A replacement is on the way, but no idea on delivery yet.

Bummer,, :irked: Hope they get it to you EXPRESS Overnight! but wait,, the costs are out of their pocket aren't they ~ it will be the slowest over the road CHEEP hauler they can find so you'll have it in a couple weeks....... 👎👎 :ouch:

My Thrustmaster T300RS doesn't calibrate correctly any more, I have to intervene manually at switch on to get it calibrated. :banghead:
But I have already bought a new one, just in case the old wheel gives up it's ghost completely! :D
 
Mots TT first week at Willow. Use the Toyota 2000 GT '67 with an oil change - 161 hp 379pp. Upgrade the transmission then set to 130 mph (third click from minimum). No other changes. Maybe get bronze with this one.

Sorry Geezers i have not organised a tt for Le Sarthe due to the vagaries of my internet connection.

Will do something for the next one.

With luck it will all be sorted by then. HAHA!!

Awww nutz,, o Duce was really looking forward to running GZR TT at LaSarth,, how would you fellas be with using either the old '88 or '89 Nissan - the blue and white one, or the red Toyota GT1? If there are no objections I could get logged in and review possibilities for the first run and post for Stewy's OK?? Then he can take over and run the requirements to the finish at week 4.

Edit: Fellas, forget the cars I mentioned earier. Here's an even better and more in line with the sort of hotrods we use in the GEEZER Club TT's,, how bout the '67 Chaparral 2D?? I bought one, drove it in STOCK, as purchased (3,750,000 credits), no tire change (came with RH tires), no chassis upgrade, no car wash, no oil change, no "nutt'n hunny" - simply as it came from the dealership. Logged in at the seasonal, selected "0" traction control, 1 ABS, Active Steering OFF, ASM OFF, driving line ON and it handled surprisingly well. 2 laps of test run and put down a decent 3:57 (green lap). With more laps I believe the car can run into the low 3:50's,, perhaps 3:40's. Then I looked in the Advanced Tune Finder, chose a GhostRider tune: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/resources/chaparral-2d-67.1192/ set the car to meet the TT specs and drove an easy 3:32 which could be driven to a 3:20 I believe. If we're all OK wityh that car let's get down and dirty in the GEEZER Club - Stewy TT!

Hi Duce, So the first week will be the 67 Chaparral 2D no oil change run stock? Sounds good to me. Upgrades through the upcoming weeks can be made, with the final being fully tuned?

Yes buddy, The 2D with a full tune goes well beyond this 700pp TT requirement but at 700pp, with a GR8 tune and on RS tires, perhaps a little TC :nervous:,, I think it will give we GEEZER's all we want :scared: and we'll see some fantastic times! Doubtful we'll approach the "Aliens" but for a bunch of old fat bellied, gray (and white - ME) haired dudes SOME will post some doggoned respectable times :bowdown: that well - I'm convinced - exceed the 3:15 GOLD for this TT. So, let's see what we can do with this rascal! :gtpflag:
 
Hello Geezers: born 10/12/46. usually gold the tts after some trying. like to try joining up but I don't have the skills to post my race results on this site. Anyway, PSN: "livetiludye" GTP: "luvtadrive"
Ditto "LuvTaDrive",, I'll try to find you and send a Friend Request,, please add Daduce1947. After you have contacted our esteemed headmaster "geezer1791" and you're onboard the GEEZER Club roster you'll want to set up another PSN account with a "GZR" in front of your ID. You may have noticed we talk about the GEEZER TT events on this message string. Most - ALL?? - of we geezers have another PSN ID and we run the TT's under that account. Those TT standings are what you see a few messages up from this wherein GEEZER1791 has posted the GZR standings. Welcome to the GTP-GEEZER Club!

My time with 2J is done with oil change.
I had the car in the garage and then I did not remember it:banghead:

*** So the first week will be the 67 Chaparral 2D no oil change run stock? Sounds good to me.

I've made some runs at La Sarthe with the stock Chaparral 2D, and was able to run a decent lap of 3:48.763:

A very nice car to drive at La Sarthe with this level of tune/horsepower. It handles quite well and doesn't over-power itself. I'm sure that the car will be quite a handful at 700PPV!!:eek:

Good luck everyone!

Hello Jota

That makes two of us that messed up. I forgot what account I was logged into and ran some laps with the LM55, posting a time. I did some laps last night in the 2D and couldn't figure out why I couldn't keep up with you on the straights! Mots rule says we are out this week. You'll likely rejoin next week, but I'm sure to be out the entire event with my time. I'll still post my times here just to participate.

Nice time GT - remember there are two TTs going on now. The other is at Willow, please join us! A challenge to keep momentum up for the best time.

Mots TT first week at Willow. Use the Toyota 2000 GT '67 with an oil change - 161 hp 379pp. Upgrade the transmission then set to 130 mph (third click from minimum). No other changes. Maybe get bronze with this one.

RE: Mot's GZR TT - Participation Rule: If a Geezer does a "Geezer Like Thing" and uses the incorrect car, the Geezer is allowed to use the correct car and post his time for that event on GTP. The time must be posted on GTP no later than 11:59 PM on the Monday before the close of that weeks competition. This imposes a penalty for acting like a Geezer and gives all other GZR_Geezers a chance to beat your posted time.
You also forfeit ALL prize money. :cheers: :lol:

Thanks for the reprieve Geez. I'd like to direct all the prize money I have to forfeit to your retirement fund. Enough for some chicken wings at your favorite chicken wing spot (purchase your own drinks). My current time set with the 2d, 606pp, 420HP, all else default, is 3:48.546. AS off, TC 0, ASM off, ABS 1. P.M.

Did another 5 laps this morning before work using the same settings: 3:47.144 You can go faster than you think you can at the end. P.Mallard NOTE: THIS TIME WAS DONE USING RACING SOFT TIRES SO IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN LEGAL

After all I am not out of race:lol: I bought a new "2D" standard without oil change and I improved the previous time with a lap without mistakes.:cheers: 3 :48.340

Sorry @pmallard & @jotafduarte , Times posted after 11:59 pm (GTP Time) Monday night will not be recorded. pepper's time of 3.48.586 was posted in time and has been recorded.
His 1.47.144 probably would have been questioned anyway.:confused: :lol:
