Sorry to hear that ncr. But I must say my elbow pain has significantly diminished since I have been using the G27. I believe the larger paddle enables me to use more fingers than just one to shift causing more tendon support around the injury. Try the paddle add on's for the DFGT.
 
The competition this series has been intense. SPA should be another great battle.

Lol at least your right there battling for a spot on the podium. I would kill for a third or fourth place finish. Right now I am in line to finish with 0 manufacture points. Now that's embarrassing.

Next stc season will only be 3 or 4 makes and i have not decided weather they will be gt cars or race cars.

I'm also flirting with the idea of a Mazda Furai series
 
RIGHT NOW I would settle for a 7th place finish!!! :drool::crazy::scared:
 
BTW remember when I commented about Grand-Am being silly when there is ALMS... Rumor has it that American Le Mans Series and Grand -Am will combine into one as soon as 2014.
Now the news is out I wonder why the wait? Anyways I hear grand am is buying out the alms , I hope they work something out with aco or who ever is in charge of the 24 of LM. If it were up to me, DP replaced with lmp2 , then they could combine with other classes at LM and just ad lmp 1 for Sebring and petite lemans and something big in Texas at the new track .
 
LMP1 will probably go away, There are only 3-4 teams in ALMS still running. Currently GTE (formally GT2 ) are faster than Daytona Prototypes. DPs will probably get more HP and Aero as lots of manufacturers have just spent a lot of money to build new DPs.


LMP2 will probably stay so teams can still race in ACO events like Le Mans and Sebring, along with GTE. I hope the Grand AM GT class gets merged into a GTC class with GT3 specs Pro & Am

What's faster DP or lmp2 ?
 
I may not be able to make the race. If I'm not at qualifying by 6:45 move on without me. Thanks guys.

STC GT Series1 Race 3
Race 1 @ Suzuka


JT pulls some speed out of his ass and ends up with pole position! Here's the field racing to turn 1

Well, most everybody is racing to turn 1. I rear end the hell out of Brett at race start and end up way behind everybody else. Sorry Brett.

JT still in the lead as the racers go through the hairpin

-L2 Envy drops a tire onto the dirt at the Degner Curve and ends up sideways. Scorpion pounces on his position.

-L2 xR0ADRASHx gets a run on BermudaKID on turn 15 but BK successfully defends his position. Nice driving BK

-L3 Oops spoke to soon...BermudaKID seems to miss his braking point heading into Turn 1 and pushes wide out of the track. BK seems to get ahold of the car and get back on track but ends up sideways and at a standstill in the grass. BK drops multiple positions.

-L3 Scorpion and Envy have a great battle going on but then Scorpion goes off track at the Degner curve which slows him enough for Envy to get by

-L3 redrobin347 wins the drag race against ALLInWitJT on the back straight for the lead!
Suzuka%2520Circuit.jpg


-L5 GTP_mike46an2 blasts past JT down the back straight and they both end up flying off track on turn 15! Mike gets the better of it though and comes out ahead of JT only to be passed by JT a short while later at the Casion Triangle. What a great fight!
Suzuka%2520Circuit.jpg


-L6 Pit issues taint a great race by redrobin. May be time to look for new crew members...
Suzuka%2520Circuit.jpg


-L9 JT makes a great pass on RR at turn 1.
Suzuka%2520Circuit.jpg


-L11 RR makes a great last minute pass after a tight drag race up the back straight to regain the #1 spot.

-L11 Aaaaand our first review of the season!

Wow, lots of chaos to finish the race!

JT escapes the chaos to go on for the W but unfortunately is docked some points. Can JT repeat the victory in the 2nd race?

Race 2 @Suzuka

JT with the pole again, this time by virtue of his win in the previous race

-L2 Mike with a good pass on JT in the Casino Triangle.

-L3 Brett with a great pass on yours truly on the back straight.
Suzuka%2520Circuit.jpg


Intense racing from different manufacturers. That's what I like to see!
Suzuka%2520Circuit.jpg



-L3 JT loses control on the Degner Curve after a teensy bit of contact with Mike but manages to hang on. Great Save! But I wonder how long JT will last driving like that before he loses it completely???
Suzuka%2520Circuit.jpg



-L3 Red drops a tire in the dirt at the Spoon Curve and makes contact with Roadrash but manages not to lose control. Another great save!
Suzuka%2520Circuit.jpg


-L4 Back and forth battle between Mike and JT for the lead
Suzuka%2520Circuit.jpg


-L5 Disastrous turn of events for JT as he loses it on turn 9 after a great battle with Mike and drops all the way down to 6th!
Suzuka%2520Circuit.jpg


-L7 redrobin takes the lead as Mike just exits the pits.
Suzuka%2520Circuit.jpg


-L9 BK was doing a great job in 3rd place but somehow ends up in the kitty litter through the S curves. I smell a rage quit coming...
Suzuka%2520Circuit.jpg


-L9 Mike's doing a fantastic job battling for first but ends up flying off track on the entry of the Spoon Curve! Ouch. Better luck next time Mike.
Suzuka%2520Circuit.jpg


In the end redrobin outfights RR for the victory! Congrats RED!

Team BYD Motorsports driver intends to get blitzed with gorgeous Belgium girls before the race!

Nice job there dj. Great pictures! Was nice to finally grab a win. Not feeling so confident this week. But will give it my best!
 
@NCR, I'm very sorry to hear you're talking about retiring. Let me know if you ever want to run a sprint with no abs.

@DJ, nice job with the pics and recap. At least it wasn't a awful week for litter box jewel racing .

@ Scorpion, I'm sure I'll be racing with you again. My car is awesome for 2 laps and then becomes just okay.

@ everyone. Sorry for tonight.... I've had a rough week moving the business. I'm tired and had an altercation on my drive home so my attitude is crap. I'll keep my mic off so I don't say anything stupid.
 
I've been out of town and won't be back till late tonight. Missing these races should wrap up last place for me. Oh well. Nice pics as always DJ and get better NCR.

Well that sucks. Get home safe and see you next week!
 
Thanks. I'll be there. Nice to see we will be getting Silverstone. Cool track. When we get it, is anyone's guess.
 
Resting my Internet should be on in 5 minutes.

mike 2:25.103

bk 2:26.048
envy 2:26.190
jt 2:27.074
scorp 2:29.592

Great racing, I almost caught DJ in the second race and I did manage a 6th place finish in the first race.
So, I have nothing to complain about and I really should stop whining as Envy puts it.

For me it is just frustrating to put in around 40 hrs of practice to end up around 4-5 sec/lap off the pace of the race!!
for this weeks race I am not even going to bother trying to set up the car, I am just going to show up and run the default settings and have fun...
 
Congrats to Mike for winning both heats. Great job! Was a struggling car / track mixture for me. I'll hopefully have better results next week.

JT, sorry for the contact. I was just trying to race you hard there. Let me know if a penalty should be enforced. It wasn't on purpose.

No sweat. That's racing. I was pushing you through a few turns in the heat of things also I think. I appreciate the way you race, super fun. You gotta watch the replay. Door handle to door handle through all the tight turns. Until I f'd up. Envy had a good show.
 
Thanks fun race, glad I was able to take advantage of the mazdas straight line speed , that track was perfect for that car and these settings , NGp will be a lot harder that's for sure,
 
Wow, way to go Mike!
 
Nice job Mike!

I had a good night. My car wasn't near as bad as practice. My tire wear was better also. I think the problem was between my ears.

I didn't push any passes in case the tires went away but I had some great racing with JT. If I were more certain the tires would hold out I would have pushed harder but I still had a lot of fun.

N-ring should be a good track for the BMW. Maybe even a podium.
