No you won't be last because us in the Hondas will be. :(







/moan.
 
No because you have FF and won't spin out like i will :P
 
True, my tires wear completely even and i can do fast times for 20 laps or something like that ;)

Sarcasm?

But FF wears the tyres way more than FR. :(
 
I think he meant his tyres wear at the same rate so the car doesn't change much over a race distance? 💡

Edit: Testing a suzuka to choose a new car since the Eclipse is out. Laps are as follows.

Toyota Altezza: 1:03.5xx
Nissan Skyline: 1:02.9xx

Mazda is on terms with the Skyline too. 👍

Honda's best is 1'02.977 but doing that, the tyres would only last 5 laps max. :nervous:

EDIT: Also I wasn't sure if he was being sarcastic as 20 fast laps is a lot out of 1 set.
 
20 laps was a bit of an overstatement, haven't tested how long i can go with the same tires ^^ at least 10 laps without getting slow.

Exactly. If I ran the Honda hard, the tyres would last 5 laps before I become 1+ seconds slower, 10 if I run 3 or 4 tenths slower. :(
 
I haven't tested anything with the wheel yet by the way so i hope i'll get the same times with it as with the controller ^^
 
I was doing 15-20 lap runs in practice and didn't notice much tire drop off. I'm in the RX-7
 
I think the FFs will be in a bad situation when it comes to tire wear then..

Edit: I wonder how the Eclipse would have coped at this track.
 
I rekon this is just a rwd track tbh but im leaning towards the Honda anyway as it suits me more and i'm fairly consistant with it in a 10 lap run bar mistakes.

Still to test the Rx7 and Silvia as they are on my GTP acc while the other 3 are on my main.

Well, yes. That's why for the second race at Tsukuba I wasn't pushing at all.

It's better for FFs than Tsukuba, but the Honda is not sufficiently fast enough that it's tyre wear is not a problem.
 
Well we will see, testing the last 2 cars then will make my decision but its looking like im joining the other Hondas ;).
 
1'03.9. Greetings from Suzuka, have a nice day.

Well, it'll be nice to have someone else to battle with especially in the later stages. 👍

Keep practising, you're a second off, reckon you can get that down easily. ;)
 
I don't think you'll be that much off.. with slipstream you might be able to conserve the tires for a little bit longer and then you will be right there.

I was in your slipstream at Tsukuba and could stay with you, but nowhere near enough to pass. :(

Longer straight here though. :)
 
At this track you just need to stay close through the esses and the slipstream should pull you back up on the straight. 👍
 
Shocking news... In the Mazda I got a 1:02.740 :eek:. (On lap 1 and 5 were both 1:02.7s)
 
FR sent to Dax, is that where you're racing?
 
Room open in 15 mins
 
Despite the Mazdas great pace here im sticking with the Honda, it will have its day at Spa or Laguna. (I hope :lol:)
 
Room open, tight on time. :D

Wohooooo! Victory!!! Didn't expect that phew i was so afraid of making mistakes ^^

Here we have the updated standings, tell me if you see anything wrong!

If you're doing the manufactures' by highest result- you missed out Paul. 👍- might actually be better to average them. 👍

I also want to apologise to Niko for the incident in the sprint- I think we were both expecting each other to give more room. :guilty: Also to Paul for the hit in the feature- you braked really unexpectedly and I couldn't react in time- my fault, sorry. :)

Again it's proven that the Honda is the slowest car and has the worst tyre wear. So when I come back after Spa, I may well consider a car change. 👍

I actually am doing averages.. you can check the formulas ;) only reason Nissan got so high in the feature was because i was the only one.

Yeah that was probably a big misunderstanding from both of us, sorry about that. At least you created some exciting catching up work for me ^^ From what i've seen in the replay i seemed to be the fastest from then on in that race.

And the second race pretty much made up for everything in the first. ^^

Yeah. You were seriously fast, I think this was a good track for the Nissan too. 👍

And congrats on your win. :)


Oh, yeah they are averages, I just saw the 25 and thought it was highest result. :dunce:

I improved to 1'02.930 but I was pretty much running mid 1'03s. :( The tyre wear and understeer was killing me and the on the launches the RWDs were just too fast no matter what I did. *Sigh*
