I love those Audis in this series! Tired Iron's blue Audi in this race is quite sweet. The Speed Channel Toyota by RACECAR looks cool also. Another nice Toyota was RedDragon's car. I also like the simple, yet sweet GTPlanet Chevrolet by our visionary Jordan. Cheers to the winner of the MavTV 350. Good amount of action... and attrition in this one.
 
Also @nascarfan1400 the cars are going to look ratchet with Michelin tires but Goodyear tire logos

EDIT: Just watched the whole thing, and IIRC I didn't even get mentioned

A clutch problem ended our race prematurely but we've shown speed in all three races so far. I'm optimistic about the season moving forward. However, night races weren't our strongest showings last season. We'll have to see if we can turn our luck around when it comes to driving under the moonlight next week.

This entire race team is going places. I won't be surprised to see ourselves pull into victory lane in the next few races, though I'm not getting my hopes up.

With tire changes being so short notice, and the "official" tire being Goodyear, there will be no change if any until next year.
 
*At parent's ATM, getting up to speed*

My thoughts on Watkins Glen: Well, at least I didn't have to rage past the pace car this time. Kuni did the raging for me.

My thoughts on Auto Club: Umm, yeah. That was a bit nuts.
 
RACE TV: Seems like if there is any luck this team has, its not the most wanted luck. You're thoughts on your finish?


RACECAR: Well, we didn't finish where we wanted to but I can't complain too much. Managed to bring the car home for once without a DNF so that in itself is a win and we showed great Speed in, of all the cars, the Speed car (Laughs). Also, big shout out to the 33 team, they too finally had a race where they weren't torn up. Overall, the entire team and really, all the Toyotas today showed that we had some pace.

RACE TV: You were one of many cars that lead and seemingly, one of the ones that lead the most early on. What helped with that and what happened to the car afterwards?

RACECAR: Well, we went with a setup that was at first tight and then free'd up as the run went on. Similar step was done with the 31. Only issue was the tire wear just really made the car lazy so it sort've lost its speed at the very end. After one pit stop, we just made a adjustment in the wrong direction. Its abit of a new feeling actually contending for once, its not something this team has not been used to so we just need to nail things like this and we can be doing this more often.

RACE TV: You were back on the lead lap until the incident with one of the TKU cars. What was your take on it?

RACECAR: One minute, I'm coming up behind him and then the next, I couldn't turn the car or get it slowed and into the back I went. Seems like they just dropped oil and sadly, I was too close to really avoid it as I locked up the tires and couldn't steer away.

RACE TV: Any thoughts heading into Texas?

RACECAR: Our main thought will be on what we can do with that Michelin compound. We've got notes from what the goodyear eagles did last season so its just a matter of seeing what these are like and what they can do. I think whoever figures the tire out first is going to be the one to watch out for.

Would like to issue a massive apology to audiman2011, I somehow made the stupid mistake of somehow missing you (even when I painted one of your cars) so you've had your finishes properly calculated and have been added accordingly.

Not next season. Literally next year, maybe even two.

:sly::lol:

The #77 CWR Team would like to make an announcement: For the first time ever, we have gained new sponsors mid season. Somehow, we still mustered interest through poor performance. They will be: the city of Buffalo led by Rex Ryan; and Bank of America.

"@SVX used up all his stuff"? I won't even ask what sort of possible ramifications such a sentence could have... Judging by his speed early in the race, I sense that said "stuff" is the same thing Roman Reigns used to get banned from the WWE for 30 days. :p :lol:

And the racing lines were all over the place, there was no way to predict where most drivers would start and end their overtake attempts, good god! I mean just look at Vetteman's overtake, guy just shaved some of that blue paint off while getting past... Also, Nas, when the Big One's replay was playing, you were saying something about what "Davis was trying to pull on Vetteman". Shouldn't that be the other way around?

As for my race... well, at least I had a good starting position? I get the feeling that I'm the Perry Mccarthy to my teammate's Roberto Moreno...
 
RACE TV: Another strong performance until the incident that cost you. How do you feel?

RESHIRAM5: I enjoyed the race, I look back at this race with the glass half full sure me and @vetteman24 are destined to crash into each other in ovals it seems, we are the NASCAR version of WWE's Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn (I'm the Kevin Owens of course :lol:), I did make it past a bunch of other cars to taste the Top 5 for awhile, not to mention that I did finish better than I qualify 20th > 25th even with the incident. I t was entertaining and that is what I can mostly ask from a race.

RACE TV: What is your opinion on @nascarfan1400 getting 2 wins already, are you apart of the rigged bandwagon.

RESHIRAM5: Hahahahaha, honestly I'm not, nas just takes the oppurtunity of everyone's misfortune, he probably wouldn't of won if it wasn't for the 3 crashes that happened, now I'm not trying to take away his ability, I mean surviving to win is really key and he deserves those 2 wins like my 9th place at Daytona. If you want to talk about rigged, look at @Jordan

RACE TV: Oh, why is that?

RESHIRAM5: Constant good qualifiers isn't raising any eyebrows? I'm joking of course, he probably is just really fast but with bad luck as he has suffered a lot at the start of the season.

RACE TV: Any improvements you desire for the #StoptheViolence 200

RESHIRAM5: Don't crash into @vetteman24 for the 3rd time in a season, hahahaha, hopefully that is his goal too.

RACE TV: Thank you for your time.

RESHIRAM5: No problem, I do these for fun after all.
 
RACEtv: Here's GTRacer22, driver of the #22 VitaminWater Chevy. How do you feel about today's race?

GTRacer22: Eh, we were in the back all day, just tried to stay out of trouble and get some SR.. Errr... Points. We qualified bad and just couldn't make anything out of it.

RACEtv: Thoughts on @GranTurismo916's crash?

GTRacer22: I'm glad he's okay, I watched the replay, and he took a hard hit. I really had nowhere to go and felt bad for turning him around, but I had nowhere to go. We got a tad bit of damage but it was fine, really.

RACEtv: What about when @The Bman blew up and @RACECAR collected into him?

GTRacer22: Once again, just a case of nowhere to go. There was oil all over and it was hard to get the car slowed down enough to be able to avoid the wreck completely. We just nudged in a bit, but the car was still fine.

RACEtv: Is the bad blood between you and @RACECAR all gone?

GTRacer22: Eh, he didn't do anything dumb this week, but we'll see come Texas. I'm personally fine with him at the moment, but who knows what the future brings.

RACEtv: You were involved in both of the major Auto Club accidents this season. Do you think this one was worse than the testing accident?

GTRacer22: Not at all. The testing crash was way worse. Though its rather unfortunate that many of the same people were involved in both crashes.

RACEtv: How do you feel about Michelin as a tire provider for Texas?

GTRacer22: I'm all for it, I think Michelin will do great. However, the Goodyear contingency with Michelin tires will look a bit hokey. Also, Goodyear's 'Support The Troops' tires do look better than the new Michelin 'Stop The Violence' tires, in my opinion.

RACEtv: Alright, thanks for your time, GT.

GTRacer22: My pleasure.
 
Another sort of "nothing" race for the 43. Good qualifying to start in the top 6 but then just faded away like I tend to do. Brief running in the top 10 in the later laps but 13th is still pretty respectable.

Can I instruct my car to take out @samurai8juice and his disgusting sponsor on sight :sly:?

You're just mad that they took the Jets out of the playoffs on the last game last year.

Can't see the Bills doing any better than 7-9 this year though, looking at their schedule.

It really isn't that disgusting...now if I put ROB Ryan on there...:eek:
 
RACETV: We are here with Vetteman24, driver of the #15 Under Armour Audi. Thanks for joining us Vette.

Vetteman24: No problem.

RACETV: Tell us how you race went?

Vetteman24: We had a great car capable of a Top 10 or Top 5. We ran up front for a while and were very confident in the car and how everything was going but I made a rookie error and unfortunately our race was all but over.

RACETV: Any response to @RESHIRAM5 calling you two the "Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens of GTPFS" as you two have been involved in two separate accidents this early in the season?

Vetteman24: I saw that, I'm glad that he said that he was KO as I feel like my team and I have this underdog mentality to us. We are a brand new team with a brand new manufacturer and myself being a rookie. Its very similar to Zayn in how a lot of people do not expect us to do well and when we do they are surprised and also become very supportive towards us. So I do thank him for that analogy as its kinda true. But hopefully we do not get each others way anymore on the track.

RACETV: Two more questions before we let you go. First, there have been three races so far in the season and unfortunately you have wrecked in every one any keys to turning your luck around.

Vetteman24: I don't think that its a case of bad luck as we have been running well at both Daytona and Auto Club so we have had decent luck especially at Daytona, where we won the Pole, but at the Glen it was out of our control as there was some oil or something at the bus stop and it took out a lot of people, but its early so we will see.

RACETV: Lastly, thoughts on Michelin coming in as the tire supplier for the next race.

Vetteman24: Driving for the factory Audi team, I feel like we have a good relationship with them in our sister efforts in the World Endurance Championship and the LMP 1 squad over at Team Joest, as well as other efforts in various other championships. However its a new tire for everyone so it its a complete mystery and no body has an advantage.

RACETV: Thanks for your time.

Vetteman24: No problem

Regarding Paint schemes, it's more of a special permission waiver. (IE Jahgees Jeff Gordon Tribute Car, my Tony Stewart tribute car, Angels #81 Black Rose Special) I don't really have a problem with 6 schemes right now, but like I said, it's going to be a bit rough for a few rounds before I start making carsets every race. 5 was just a number so people like (no offense because your cars are always top quality) RACECAR and Gerarghini didn't bombard me with 10 schemes right away when other drivers had gooseeggs. I'm easily overwhelmed and that is one thing that does it for me, lol. But I'm also easily flexible, so I may allow a 6th for everyone, and may even open a 7th.

@Michelin's Michelin Tires Ford COMING RIGHT AWAY.

After work of couse.

Why have I suddenly started thinking about commissioning a Booty-O's scheme for the #43?

Why does it say cereal not included? I buy a box of cereal for a t-shirt and no cereal?

Dude, it's Booty-O's. You don't question anything about everything New Day does, you just laugh, and feel da powah. Because after all;

(begins clapping) NEW, DAY ROCKS! NEW, DAY ROCKS! NEW, DAY ROCKS!

Man, it must've been my Roman Reigns mention that got this idea in AudiMan's head, it just had to. We are going to end up creating a WWE Tribute Team by the end of this... :lol:

Well I did forget to say that if we are going to do WWE liveries as an actual thing, I'd gladly concede defeat AND the Nakamura livery to you...

...but of course such a strong-willed, quick-with-the-trigger woman such as yourself, doing so is merely delaying your inevitable answer.

God damn rednecks and your god damn wrastlin' :lol:

Who you callin' a redneck, New Yorker? Do you prefer if I go back to Moonspeak mode? 'Cause if that's the case, then I can do that faster than a Vector W8 that's trying to hit 60. :lol:
In fact, said mode may or may not be behind my second livery plans for this season... if I ever get around to finish said plans, that is.

Also, says the guy who appreciates Taylor Swift music... You aren't even on the same boat level as us wresslin' fans, you're stuck on the lower deck! :p :lol:
