Sorry but i'm a bit behind with the upgrades. I've just upgraded for race 3&4 using the ECU plus the mandatory ones. Now for 5&6 am I allowed to add the manifold and Filter or sports cat in addition to the ECU?

Gary is right. The air filter and intake manifold come as a set, as do the exhaust manifold and sports cat. The ECU is a stand alone upgrade. You can use any combination of these uprades, as long as you only choose 2 for the next 2 races.
 
That makes sense just thought I'd check to make sure.

Q is with tyre wear off I take it?

Whaaaaa... I think you made it sound like you can mix exhaust and air filter.. :)

No, I said that they come in a set. 1. ECU, 2. intake and air filter, 3.exhaust manifold and cat.

Just so there is no confusion. You can pick between options 1, 2 and 3.

No tyre wear will be on, as I would have to forfeit my grid spot to change it back, by going back to the lounge.


I have updated the table with Cobani and Rosens time from last night.

Also gents, please can I bring your attention to Sundays race time change. Cobani has an engagemnt which will mean he cannot participate if we race at 8.30pm. I would therefore like to move the timetable back by 30 minutes, so the room will open at 8.00pm, with quali at 8.45 and the race at 9.00pm. I hope that this time change is OK with everyone.

One more thing. Another special prize announcement. This time there is a prize for everyone who has taken part in SC3. All 19 drivers will receive an exclusive bespoke award for their participation. This fantastic momento has been put forward by GC255, so I would like to thank Gary for this gesture.👍👍👍

I will keep the secret of these surprise prizes until the weekend though.

Friday practice will be at 8.00pm tomorrow, and if there is enough drivers we will run 2 x 10 lap races.

Who did the 42??
I just said it would be an insanely fast time :lol: 👍
I'm in the mid-44's by the way ...

Thanks for the start time change Ade, I appreciate it.
And Gary, that is a fantastic gesture, great!

Note to self, be sure to read posts thoroughly when Cobani is involved. :lol:
 
Well I managed to put in an hours practice this afternoon, the car is completely different to drive now I've installed the upgrades. Best so far 43.9 on softs, not tried the meds. Anyone online tonight?

Yeah buddy. I will be opening a lobby at 8.00pm for practice tonight. A few short races to warm up, and then if enough show, 2 x 10 lappers from 8.30. 1 on the soft, 1 on the medium.
 
I should be on later, going to get some laps in now, see if I can find any of the 3.5 seconds im losing.
 
Figured as my internet is holding id put in Some practice. Managed to get a 1:47.9 on the medium tyres and some fairly consistent 1:48.5's

I think I can feel my humanity disappearing :lol:
 
Quiet practice session tonight, but some new times to be added to the table. Hancock made his debut to the Fuji table with a very impressive time on the soft tyre with no slip stream, coming in 4 tenths off Dans fastest. His medium time was equally as impressive, putting him at the top of the medium times. Watch out Dan..:nervous:

Special guest Geordie also improved on his previous times, thanks Geordie for joining us tonight.👍👍

My target for tonight was to get into the 44's, so I am happy with placing 4th fastest on the soft tyre tonight.

Tomorrows practice will be at 8.00pm.
 
Thanks for the practice guys! 👍👍👍

Your welcome GW, great pic.👍👍👍
 
Sweet pic.. 👍 I haven't ran any laps since I last ran with you guys.. Real life and my new toy been taking up all my time.. I'll be up for running some practice laps tomorrow after F1.. Gwarn Lewis!!! :D 👍
 
Not long now until we take ours Evora's to Fuji. 36 laps will be a test of strategy's and skill. Dont forget the slightly later times for tonight's race guys.








See you all at the track.👍👍👍
 
Nice.. I don't know what sort of state I will be in by then. Having a few beers :D

I just ran a few laps and my best was only 44.0.. I think I will struggle tonight as had so little track time.. :nervous:
 
Ran a few just now on the med.. Best was 46.5 so pretty happy with that.. I like the car better on the med tyre as the rear is looser :)
 
What diff settings you using Dan?

I love Fuji apart from the last corner, I always struggle to hit the apex!

Just the default diff settings.. I actually aren't that happy with my car setup but haven't put the time into it it that I usually would. I hope it will do for a podium finish 👍
 
Gutting! It wouldn't let me in the room! Kept saying, the room is busy, try again in a short while! Then it only let me in after the race began!!! Darn it, my only hope was that someone might have seen that I was online and on GT5 before the race began - I was desperately trying to join the room, d'oh!

My own fault, I should have gotten here earlier instead of the last 15 minutes, should know by now not to trust GT5 online servers, but I only just got back home so everything was a bit more last minute than I wanted.....
 
It was probably due to race start procedure jammy, GT5 doesn't let you enter once race commences. Connect time should have been around 8:30.

Ah Ok perhaps that would explain It but sure I was trying from about 8.55. Hope you all had a great race.
 
WOW, what a race!!!! I dont think I have been in a race and been involved in so many battles with so many drivers before. But thats a story for another day. This is the time to celebrate the top 3. Champagne time for the podium...
