Not at the moment, but I may take a couple people just before Race #1. I'll give details before the weekend.
 
lets try to avoid these collusions our series opener:


and the vid i was talkin about in the lobby, "ABSOLUTELY INSANE!!":
 
Man it seems like everyone car was faster than mine tonight. Mine is only showing 135 hp aren't most of you getting 138?

Great time tonight guys even though I didn't run that well.

It was fun for sure!

I've been off pace for a while. After about 180 miles the car should be up to snuff hp wise. As for a set up the one that R1600T posted a few pages back works well for me, and a lot of the other guys run it too from what I hear in the rooms.

As for running a 1.40.xxx lap time, i still cant get close. But I did spend time to learn the track and get comfortable with the car. Mainly learning the track though. There were a lot of turns, like the first tunnel turn, the right hander after the first tunnel turn, and the one at the end of the long straight that i focused a lot on. My best is still a 1.41.9xx so still off pace by a good amount, and I cant repeat that lap for lap.

This is all just talking about Trial Mt. but getting use to the car carries over to every track for me.

Good Luck Jay_B
 
What do you guys think about this. SAMHAIN85 brought this up tonight while we were doing practice races, which got me thinking about how I hadn't even thought about what to do.

We are going to be running two rooms. I thought about just combining the points from each room into one big points list after every race, but decided against it. What if we run two separate points tables, one for Group A, and the other for Group B. At the end of the season, we'll take the top 8 drivers in each points table and throw them into a race to fight it out for the final points positions. Sprint race or super enduro?

Yeah? :D

I'm still not in the 1'40's either, but I got closer when leading a race tonight. Managed a 1'41.185 as my best so far, but I can run pretty consistent high 1'41's at Trial Mountain. It's too bad it's not on the official race event list, I'm better there than at Tsukuba or Laguna Seca.
I was really concentrating on the corner before the tunnel when I noticed that I was .4xx ahead of the fastest lap at the first split in practice, then .1xx behind at the bottom of the hill. Those extra 1 or 2 mph really make a difference to the time!
 
Hi, is there still spacce to get in on this? My details are:

PSN: Innocenzionale

Cheers,

wow. I am confused. I remember having to do qualy for autumn mini rev. then i had to bail do to a trip, now, it looks as if autumn never happend? Fill me in.
 
Thanks for the races last night guys, sorry about the lack of mic. I am currently staying at my parents house recovering from knee surgury, hence why I can stay up until silly hours (I am based in the UK) and so every one else in the house is sleeping and I can really be talking down the mic to you guys.

Was really good fun last night, the races I won were 90% luck I swear. I managed to get into the lead in the first lap and then everyone else kept slowing each other up, a lot of you guys are faster than me when hot lapping.
My fastest lap in Trial Mt was a 1:41:2xx and a high 1:43.xxx on Laguna Seca. Someone asked who posted the low 1:43 on Laguna and said they thought it must have been someone if a different car. It was smohr33 that posted that one, and quite close to the start of the session too.

Old quote man. :) But yeah, before the game came out I remember hearing that only 16 people could actually race, but you could have up to 32 people in the lobby. Guess that never panned out.

Autumn Ring Mini was used because we were not going to use it in the championship. 👍
 
Turbo, are those settings you posted still available? I searched for them but couldn't find them, have you edited them away?
 
I plan on hopping in some practice races tonight to prep for tomorrow night's official practice event, but I plan on completing some more A Spec stuff before heading online. I want that damn Red Bull car.

Also, I still won't have mic capabilities as my 2 year old son sleeps in the room next to the rig, so chatting on the mic isn't a good option, at least my wife says it isn't. :)

See you dudes tonight, I'll be in a silver Miata to match my GT Planet user name. Cheers!
 
Samhain, those crash videos are funny, both tt997 and I were in one of those races, it was the race around the 2:00 mark where the car rolled at the start of the race, thankfully we both qualified ahead ofthe mayhem and kept our noses clean. I believe that was the ARRC race back in 2003, the track was Road Atlanta.



Thanks for the memories! :)
