[GT5_X2010]

Please read my highly detailed race report:

That was a really fun track to race at. The tire strategy came into play and there weren't as many incidents as I would have expected. We should seriously consider having Special Stage Route 5 on the schedule next season. It was a blast.

Sorry if you thought I was blocking you as you came around to lap me, Golfer, but you were whining about it going through a set of two chicanes where there was no place to let you by safely. Common sense, mate.

The track was much better than I expected. When I pssed Jamman into turn 1 on lap 3 (or 4) I remember shouting that this track was a really bad idea and that we should go sunbathing in Monaco. Things were different at the end. The night played a great element and because we all knew that it is so hard to pass, we all paye more attenetion and thus there were less incidents than normal. BK is mad for thinking this track was rubbish. He said you can't pass. Everyone proved him wrong. I said that it is the tyre wear that will make or break this race. Me and Jake proved it perfectly. One thing though, if at night it is colder and thus reduces tyre wear.... how come SSR5 is the highest tyre wear we know??

And yeah I was shouting quite a bit at back markers. I was hoping you would come to a stand still at the side of the track. Looking back, it didnt effect me and you were right. Was scary though when I lapped you later on as I was chasing Jake and then on lap 47 (or there abouts) you were drifiting the hairpin and I thought you would hold me up. We went side by side through the last turn. Was epic


Oh and I am going to use GIMP to edi a picture and make it look

You better take some photos of this race, "photographers"..

Excellent race. I started 6th and had battles with mu, seth, bombe, and other people as well. I spent about 15 minutes calculating a strategy before the race which helped a ton. In the end I drove without mistakes and got my best weekend finish yet. Good win Jamman, good drive golfer, jake, bombe, mike, mu, seth, tiss. And tough luck tom

 

[Aqua F1]

Should be some good shots of me and Jamman fighting!

I'll try but I'm at gamefest in thr morning and most the afternoon.

I want to get someone oversteering in the end of sector 2 and the start of sector 3.

No surprises there..

None of us truly understand how the Internet works either, but it works

MU beat me to it...

I hope I'll see you all at Monza. If there is one place I am going to get lapped besides from SSR5, Monza is the place. With a slow-a** car and bad memories of the S3 race ... I don't wanna talk about it. Anyway, no expectation of getting in the top 7 next Saturday either, we'll see if I'm there, actually. It's my Birthday the 26th so you never know what's going to happen.

 

[Aqua F1]

La Sarthe will be ruined if its heavy rain for that.

 

[jakegirard]

I kind of agree, but we'll see what happens

I don't care if i get a penalty, I'm racing for fun, I don't care if people don't like me, or think i bumped them, everyone was bumping. If I take the corner one way, the other cant take it the same way. I said you investigate yourself bombe because everyone should deserve a look. Not just jake or fresh or mu, but everyone! If that's an 'idiot' type of reason to you, I think you have issues. I sped on the pace lap. Sue me! I typed that not everyone was there yet. How horrible of me! I had start pressed before that cus I was changing my son's diaper. He comes first. If I'm not allowed to catch my position because of those reasons, I say it's a pretty sad job you 'investigators' are doing.

Seth just relax we're all good here, Bombe is reasonable.

Well you see that is where you are wrong. I know it inside out but sadly if I told you, I would have to kill you.

Yea it's all just silly stuff, people trying to live vicariously through a video game and all that. Either way everyone knows who won, lol. This series is 100x more fun anyway lol, racing in classes with 7 or 8 drivers in your class is a little bit weak.

I don't like the trashtalking of another series, but i'm one to talk when it comes to being overscrutineered. I'm more than certain that others went wide in the Porsche curves, but me, because I was doing well, was singled out and made out as a criminal to the series. If I didn't get disconnected from that race, I would've been penalized as well, for sure. But the racing is good, and I have potential to dominate, once I don't have unfortunate circumstances, so i'll stick around.

Also, rain? Bring it on It was great fun at Suzuka, and now I have some experience under my belt with rain, so I'll certainly do better if it rains again.

Yea you would have been. Meanwhile, the series regulars not naming names, were doing the same things. It's over and done with, your pole was legit and so was my win, I only wish you'd not have been dc'ed so we could have fought it out.

 

[amf7]

I really don't see why everyone wants a full garaunteed rainy race.... whats the point of having dynamic weather??

The rain is a part of this type of motorsports. It's not guaranteed.

By the way, I've decided on using the R8 '05 next season for sure. Anyone who wants to be one of my two teammates, let me know.

That's a long post...

1. You bumped into me, and I mentioned it - what's the big deal, I said you should forget it, I don't want to watch that again.
2. If Jake is getting a penalty (if, if, if) for the pace lap so are you, that's what I mean with it. To be honest, Mike, tissimo, Kirk and I should have let you start at the back since you slowed down so much. I understand you and Jake caught up to the others, but we didn't
3. If we had to look through everyone's race THEN we would be sad people, right?
4. You never called me an idiot, no, but your tone (if you can call it that since it's a chat) wasn't exactly the positive one

Seth just relax we're all good here, Bombe is reasonable the Dark Lord.

You're right, lol

Well you see that is where you are wrong. I know it inside out but sadly if I told you, I would have to kill you.

I can never be killed.
Now tell me.

Me ME pick meee

 

[Aqua F1]

All I want to do is get a car with Bridgestones attached to it and not Pirelli's!

EDIT: Might go for the Bentley if I get one in time and like it. Why does everyone suddenly want the '05?

Because it's friggin' awesome AND it's an Audi.

What's so awesome about it? I did a few laps in it ages ago and didn't like it much.

Open top LMP cars suck.

When it comes to switching cars to another one next season which someone has already, you're going to have to take the backseat and hope there is a 3rd spot open for that car. Right now, there's mike and allin, allin has yet to race this season, then BK and amf. You'd have to hope that someone switches cars next season, as we have 3 cars only next season, with 3 car teams.

 

[MikeTheHockeyFan]

Yeah rain just makes things even more frenetic. Once you get a few laps into a full wet race you have forgotten about how different the conditions are because you're just in the zone, trying to deal with it corner by corner.

EDIT: Oh yeah: guys, if you are sending a request to the stewards to review a racing incident, please PLEASE include the lap number.

 

[amf7]

I really wanna drive either the Audi or the gt one maybe the 905 if golfer and jam want me

 

[Peter.]

People are going for the Audi now, because with these season 4 regulations, the cars are more bunched up in speed, and any speed advantages any cars had before, are even less now, if at all. That, and the Audi is incredibly smooth and textbook easy to drive, and seems to be easy on its tyres.

I'll suggest that the Speed 8 be shown the door. You know, since we're all still skeptic about whether or not it still has an advantage, and to get more cars used in the series.

I would prefer to see a hard limit of 2x each model of car next season.

• All drivers are ordered in a list by how many series races they have participated in
• Drivers select their car in that order, based on seinority
• If a driver higher in the list selects a car, he has the right to give his teammate that car as well if the other guy is further down in the list
• It would be like a fantasy sports draft we would do in a thread here

 

[amf7]

Err the Audi with ne driving isn't easy on tyres LOL here today it was awful even at nurb it was terrible

And mike that's stupid if u were new to this season u would hate the idea like I do
