I can't make out the time, when is it? is it 10am or is it 10pm???
contradicting nights and ams.

 

[jdmAP1]

Sorry, so the time for this race is 11AM on February 5th. Had to edit the date (I am not available on the 6th). I forgot to edit my first paragraph. Thanks for pointing it out.

 

[Vol Jbolaz]

Time: Feburary 5th, 11AM Japan time (so that's 0200 GMT 2/6)

Just to clarify, that is 02:00 on 5 February GMT?

5th or 6th, I think I can make it, so sign me up.

 

[jdmAP1]

Oops, yes it's the 5th. Sorry again for the error. I'll edit that in a few and add you as well

 

[jdmAP1]

Just for fun, I will also now allow the cars that have been in question: Odyssey, Avantime, and Axela 23S.

 

[TimberW]

Won't be able to join this time. I'll join again next time!

 

[jdmAP1]

Looking forward to it.

About another day left! Let's see if we can get another person or two.

Hi all, I'll be ready for the next one, timings for the first are not quite right for me. (GMT +5) But any Sunday is fine.

[jdmAP1]

Great! I'll probably put one together for next week, depending how tomorrow goes. So do keep tuned

 

[Vol Jbolaz]

Sorry, I thought the fifth was Friday. I thought the first race was Thursday evening my time. The fifth is Saturday. Most Friday evenings, I can make it. This particular one, however, my wife has gotten a babysitter and we are going out with some friends to dinner. I may not be able to make this race.

I played around with tuning a Legacy and an Impreza. The Impreza is much much lighter, so it was a quite bit zippier. I'm wondering if you should raise the weight restrictions to make the full size wagons more competitive with the smaller wagons.

I am tempted to play with an Audi.

I also guess the C-30 is more of a hatch than a wagon?

 

[jdmAP1]

Don't worry. We'll see how things go tomorrow and I hope to have another possibly next week.

Tuning to the cars to bring the weight down and boosting power up is fine. In future races, I may raise the power limit but for now, the limit is placed to exclude the RS4 and RS6.

And yes, the C-30 won't be considered a wagon. A estate/wagon is an saloon/sedan that has an extended roof. Technically the Nissan Canopy should be excluded but it's length is long enough. It may be excluded from future events (along with the Avantime and Odyssey).

 

[Matyltest]

Just to get everything straight, its 9 hours to the race now?

And is it alowed to tune the aerodynamics, suspension, transmission and so forth?

 

[jdmAP1]

It's in 10.5 hours. 0200 GMT.

Race in about 40 mins

 

[jdmAP1]

Race is now over.

Thank you to SS_1182 and JUNYAHFAN for coming out. Very cool racers.

I'll give this another try (for those that couldn't make it out this time). I will update the specs of that race soon.

 

[jdmAP1]

New details for the next race. Same map. Changed HP restriction to allow the Audi RS4 (avant). Time and Date: 2/13 0200 GMT.

 

[Matyltest]

Sorry i couldn't make the last event, got home just 30minutes late:\

 

[jdmAP1]

No problem. Hope you can make it out to the next one.

 

[Junyahfan]

Had a blast even though I got owned.. lol. I'll for sure be in on the next one as well. Time to start scanning the UCD for a better grocery getter!!

 

[Matyltest]

Who won and in what car btw?=)

 

[Junyahfan]

JDM won it but I never really got a look at what he was in. I jumped in the room at the last minute in a Stagea 260RS AutechVersion '98 that I scrambled to find in the UCD so I could make the race. Even without any hot laps and no setup I still had a great time tryin to wedge a 1600 kilo boat that felt like it was 24' long through the 1st hairpin..
Next time I'm hoping I'm a little better prepared.

 

[jdmAP1]

I won, but there I gave both of them some Silver Chrome paint after the race.

I used a Toyota Caldina GT-Four. I figured bring something not much people own/drive. SS showed up with his 240 Estate so we had all had different rides.

Definitely looking forward to the next one.

 

[SS_1182]

Yeah, more people would've made that race a lot of fun. WTF, people?

 

[Vol Jbolaz]

I thought the horsepower limit was 300. What was it before?

 

[jdmAP1]

It was. Now it's 400.

 

[jdmAP1]

Alright, I'll start taking a head count. Please let me know if you are able to make it out.

 

[Junyahfan]

I'm in
