Thank you Dion. Your kind support means a lot to me. 👍 I am so proud to be a part of this team btw. I think we have done very well for a team with no BC experience except for Mr P and CFM.

If there is one thing I've learned, it's that there are guys competing that are all kinds of fast that I never knew about. I think next time I'll probably cheerlead, and leave the driving to you young guns. :)
 
Not if you can drive this fast again, so far you have beat GTweb and GTtimes, with your .630, the race we know is definetly legal!!!

👍 👍, looking good for a podium mate!!, and top 5 for sure!
 
MinorShunt
I really worked very hard on this race. Untold hours........I know the .630 will be mid-pack at best. I expected a lot more out of myself. I just hope that the admins view the faster one as legal is my only hope.

Sorry.......

I'll get the replays up later today. Right now I'm gonna have a stiff drink. What a crappy day.
Nope! The clean time was second place overall; GTP on the podium again! And the faster run would still have been second place. Excellent work, MS - you've just moved GTP from 5th place to 3rd in the team standings.

You deserve that drink, but not for a crappy performance!

Here's to podiums for GTP in the last two rounds, and a final place in the top 3! Really really good job guys. This is probably GTP's best position ever in BC comps.
 
Thanks Duke! Thanks also for your patience with my pm to you last night! 👍

As most of you have figured out by now, I'm kind of an emotional type of guy. Heart on the sleeve and so on. My wife says I'm a full tilt freight train looking for, and usually finding an accident. Hence my online name. :D

I am BLOWN AWAY!!! All I wanted was not to finish last. (Not really. I wanted to win.) But second is really exceeding my expectations to say the least. :lol:

Thank you for the opportunity to race for such a great team! I'll never forget this experience. Right now I don't know if I want to do it again, but we'll see. :sly:

Did I mention that I BEAT Itto and Flinx? :lol: :lol: :lol:

WOOT!!!!
 
Great work Mr. Shunt, you really outdid yourself.:cheers: No problems either about the 'dirty' run as your clean one still got you the same result.👍 No reason to get down on yourself now, you came through just as I knew all of you would so far. with veil and hot to come in the final rounds, we are in good shape.👍 As for not wanting to do BC next time, that's what everybody says.:lol: They almost always come back though.:sly:
 
I'm just glad I don't have Veil or h0t's race. :scared: Way tough! Just look at who is left to race.

Good luck guys! Both of you are the right ones for the job.

@CFM- The thing about gettin older is that the short term memory goes first ya know. :sly: So you're probably right. I won't remember a thing about this next year when it comes time to sign up for BC again. :dunce:

BTW....I sure would like to see you drive in one of these again Mr. CFM!
 
Got really short time to play, since after GP brasil, my friend is still here at home until tomorrow tuesday 11 am, so sadly i won´t be able to concentrate that much, but i will try to get that 5'37.9 asap.

He gone there to watch in the circuit with me, so he had a trouble in flight schedule and had to set it to tuesday, unfortunatelly, 1 day before my deadine.

But i will be working on that lap as much as i can, and im also not even going to college today and tomorrow.

Well, if i don´t get the win guys, sorry, this time i couldn´t put my best effort. :indiff:

But i still hope to get it, that´s my goal.
 
ok here we go

after finding out im allowed 2 touches in my run... ( which i will try not to do )

i woulda been done this combo a long time ago...

but im gonna try my best right now
 
MinorShunt 2nd!!!! :cheers:. I knew you could get that podium!!!. Wonderful job mate! 👍 you did extremely well :cheers:.

Great to hear Hotboi! 👍, Veilsidebr you are trying your best mate, youve run this competition lots, I am very grateful for the time and effort you are putting into it!! :cheers:

We are in good shape for a 3rd overall!! 👍
 
Got your PM Minorshunt, thanks buddy!! :)

That race you set was fantastic!!! I'm so glad for your time!!! That was great for the team! Good work Minorshunt!!! 2nd place is fantastic!!! WOW!
 
Thanks Toffe and Small. You guys are the best! :cheers:

@Veil- Good luck on your race! I know you have put in a lot of time on it and will do well. :) 👍
 
CFM or someone please tell me how much hours exactly i have until deadline!

Im driving like the hell to get my time! got to improve 0.1 but have much more yet!

5'38.7 is my actual time, im hoping to get 5'37.8 or .9 until today, but i need to know when is the exact deadline so i won´t get one DNF if i suposedly pass over it! ;)
 
As of this post, there is just under 15 hours remaining.

Good luck. 👍
 
Z.
As of this post, there is just under 15 hours remaining.

Good luck. 👍

Edit: lol i got the deadline in gmt now, 12:00P GMT, so i have almost 15 hours to make my run, and i pretend to run 10 or 12 hours since its my last day.
 
Omg...today was probably the most irritating and ****en day of this year for me. I will try to explain, so u guys maybe understand.

Since last wednesday, a friend of me came to here to watch the Braziliam F1 GP togheter with me, he´s from another city. We planed this since june, so i couldn´t just say "no" because of BC5, sadly, sadly.

So, last week i basically had time just on sunday and tuesday half, the other days no really time to play serious with a visit at home.
The week before this week i said, i had tests all the days, so no time also.
Well, we planned that him would go away on sunday, to his home city, but, due to a flight schedule probl or i dunno what the hell, the company set his back flight to TUESDAY(today) for 1 pm. That made me get crazy, just, since he was to go away on sunday afternoon, so, that would give me 2 days and half or 3 days, to play my bc free, alone, and calm.

But, as he was here, i couldn´t concentrate, or just play alone, i hate to have visits at home just when i wanna play GT or do something, sometimes if i had a gun i would had killed them just so angry i get.

So, he gone away today to his house, and, as i just came home 3 pm and also just slept 3 hours last night, i just kept driving and driving nonstop my bc5 race. From like 3:30 until now, almost 3 am, i plaied and failed many laps, yes, i guess my mood and concern weren´t the best, when you are in your last day to play, and also angry because you just got schooled, you won´t go too much far on laptimes.

Well, i lost some laps into 5'37 that got really me crazy, and i got one in 5'38.7, but i dunno if its clean, so i will post my old 5'38.8 to asure some points to GTP.

Well, i dunno how to say how disapointed and angry i feel now, since i promised a win to you guys and also for me. But, just like Kimmi Raikkonen, bad luck comes in front sometimes, and kicks your arse badly. I dunno why sometimes its this way, i am pretty sure, if i had more 3 days or 2 days, i would win this thing. I can´t do my 5'37.9 or even under, in the last day, over pressure and angryness, at least for me, i don´t work this way.

Well, i am really disapointed, maybe i stop with GT before killing someone or making some ****, but so, i just say sorry guys for my shame laptime, but this time i was schooled really, i really didn´t do my best, so far.

I really wished the win, really, but thats ok. My wish now is to break my ps2 and the dfp, but i will stop with this thing to avoid this bad act.

Well, i wish good luck to u curtis, get a win to make some points for GTP team.

Sorry again guys, i didn´t do my best so far, i am able to do a 5'37.5 or like that, but in the mood i am now, i can´t really. :indiff:
 
@Veil - I feel your pain buddy. This is exactly how I felt 2 nights ago before my race results. Just as other teammates told me, I will tell you, that you haven't let anyone down. 👍 I know this won't make you feel better, 'cause it didn't for me, but all you can do now is wait. That is the real difference between online racing and real racing. The WAITING!

Life gets in the way sometimes, you just had to do the best you could under the circumstances. You will do fine! Your time is probably better than what 99.999% of the people on this planet could do, including just about anyone on this and most boards.

Just don't go killing anyone or smashing your equipment. :crazy:

GET SOME SLEEP!!! YOU ARE DONE WITH THE MADNESS NOW!!! :lol:
 
I dunno if my 5'38.7 lap was clean, here´s 2 pics that can show. Please guys tell me what you think of, so i can decide in which lap to post.



 
post the 5'38.8 if its 100% clean. 0.1 on the ring shouldnt mean a difference between a postion.

Plus the last thing we want is a DQ.

So for only .1 slower is worth it for the piece of mind.
 
Sorry guys for the shame result, i wished to give the team a win, but ****, i couldn´t do that in that circunstances and in the very last day, but i would to it, with more 2 days to play. :indiff: :guilty: :ouch: :scared:

2nd place is 2nd, i always try to forget this, when i know i could had won, that´s why i say its a shame result. :crazy:
 
There is no shame Veil! You were beaten fairly. Yes. But no one can guarantee a win in a competition like this. You have kept the team in a very competitive position for the last round. You have done what you needed to for the team. 27 points! It is anyone's BC to win or lose now, including GTP! Can you believe that we actually have a chance to win? Look at the strength and experience of our competitors, and then look at the inexperience of our team. I surely would not have picked GTP to be in the good position we are in now before the start of the competition.

I would say that we have exceeded expectations. We are not done yet! We are not down. We are not out. Each and every one of us on this team has worked hard for the excellent position we find ourselves in for a possible win. Sorry. I don't agree Veil. There is no shame. Not for you. Not for anyone on this team. 👍

So we go to Round 10. Unleash the wild dog! :D
 
Veil, in the toughest race you have done, 2nd place is wonderful. You have no shame, please realise that.

Consistency, that is why GTP is where we are. 5 straight podiums, plus the great finishes from the guys are the start of the round. Rudi is king, you lose no respect for loosing to him mate. Maybe you just didnt have good enough settings, just like JMR in my race. GTN had great settings 👍

Wonderful job :bowdown: please dont be sad, this is your 1st race and you come 2nd among the fastest Ring players in the world!. Just look at the names you beat!!.

No shame mate, no shame :bowdown:
 
For those who dont know Rico for GTIRN got a DQ for round 7.

Points at the end of round 9 are as follows
GTWeb 212
GTN 211
GTP 210
GTTimes 205
GTIRN 200

with 1 race to go any of the top 3 or even top 4 can win the BC.
 
Actually, if we win Round 10, we'll win the overall title. Good luck hOtbOi, it's all up to you.👍
 
Ditto. Good luck h0tb0i! 👍
BTW, if you want someone to put a second set of eyes on your replay tonight b4 the deadline, let me know. I can do.
 
just under 12hours to go!

No sleep for you Curtis until you have that 15'39 ;) :lol:
