Spec FRS/BRZ/GT86 Challenge

Nice thought NCR. When I get back from the shore later this week I'm going to try fixing the PS3. If it works I may be interested.

The Shore! Sounds like Jersey, lol. Was hoping you could have made it down to Va Beach/Sandbridge this summer. I know where some go kart tracks are, heh heh. No ABS allowed!

1 night with you guys is enough, so a 2nd night with a different group just might be the ticket!

My wife signed our kids up for all kinds of stuff (music lessons, soccer, swimming, faith formation - what ever the hell that is) and seeing as you know who will be doing all the chauffeuring (nooo not her, I will!) my week nights might be limited, this weekend races may work for me. I figure if I give up my week night, then I'm taking Saturday night for racing (locks phone, looks over shoulder)

Yup, we have relatives near Atlantic City so we're heading there for a few days. Finances weren't VA friendly this year. Bummer, it would have been nice to put a face with the name.

I guess I'll find out Thursday night, no practice for me.

Bunch of updates to the GT6 web site, if you go to pre-order, it looks like they changed the GameStop deal, there are 25 cars now. R18, Z8, S1 Rally, Vette Coupe, Shelby, etc. Confused with the first offer of 5 cars though.

Why does the preorder page only have 20 cars?

They just announced the changes today, gamespot probably hasn't had a chance to update yet.

 

[brettcee]

80% chance of me not making the race Thursday. And it looks like for the next 2-3 months Thursday are no good for me. Right now I have Monday, Wednesday and Friday free. I'm going to give the Turtle Racing a try on Saturday nights.

 

[NCRthree]

^Any of those evenings are ok for me if we want to change.

I can do those nights as well.

Going In Hot made it into the US GTA. How about that, hope he does well.

I've run some 1:40's. BL of 1:40.4xx. No way to keep up that pace after 3 laps. Mostly 1:41's and 42's. I've only tested with Very Fast tire wear, maybe we could try Fast. So easy to understeer into the walls in addition to getting hypotized by all the pretty lights.

That's crazy stuff. Glad he made it.

 

[brettcee]

I should be good for Thursday race. I'll have to see what the schedule is like from here in out.

 

[thlogan]

Wat to go GIH !! That's incredible! We're all rooting for you.

So. I guess we're on for this Thursday? I can switch to Monday, Wednesday or Friday, if needed.

I am now officially excited for GT6.

And now I'm out for Thursday, and the foreseeable future.

Is this Brett or bi-polar Brett?

GoingInHot is #23 on this list. What was he doing racing with us, lol.

Sorry you can't make it Brett. I practiced with Turtle last night. Very challenging combo: Ferrari 599 at Indy Road, SS tires. After last night I'm not sure I want to run it.

 

[awr117]

Nice job GIH. Best of luck!

Must of lost my mojo in the past week. I don't know how I could have hit mid 1'40's-nowhere close now. No doubt PD stretched Stg 5, that's gotta be it, heh. This has happened before in my lounge, hitting times 2 seconds faster than I could a few days later-Cape Ring in the Roadster TC's.

Anyway, hope all 5 of us can make it. Should be a fun race.

 

[xR0ADRASHx]

Should be a fun race. NCR and I did a 5 lapper last night and traded the lead almost every lap. There are multiple lines through some sections. Beware though, it's easy to burn up the tires if you push too hard. See you guys tonight

 

[djchon661]

I've haven't been able to practice much, so i'm not sure what lap times you guys are averaging. What do you think about the number of laps RR?

We were running 1:42/1:43's in the sprint we ran last night. So I'm thinking 16-18 laps.

 

[thlogan]

16 laps would be about 28 minutes

I'm usually .500 to .750 faster in my lounge as well. Race day I lose it. But I don't have time to do more than 4-5 practice laps. Well actually I just get bored.

 

[djchon661]

Lets do 16+1 laps and get an hour of racing

Also, I've been to busy in my work and private life to keep up with the points and race results. That, along with the sporadic attendance has lead me to the following decision. I will no longer keep points in this series. I will continue this series but only for fun.
