TorC 10.1 - Arta@Laguna

[made in holland]

Allright, my friend. Race one has started.

It's the arcade Arta NSX at Laguna Seca.
ASM and TSC aren't allowed.


The GTF thread


Good luck:tup:

 

[boombexus]

WOAH, I was just in here unsticking threads so that I could make a Torc thread for us. But I see you beat me to it. 👍 Nice work mate!

You ready for this. Guess we dont' really need to go over settings. I need settings.

 

[made in holland]

Thank god it's all arcade and no settings. I just had a horrible race over at GT.de for GTL. A 580 HP Mustang Cobra at Seattle. Worst race of my life.

All i need now are the optimal gearswitching point, as i will try to race this one with Manual Transmission.

REALLY?

What brought on this drastic change?

I usually find that a very late shift into the redline of the ARTA does well. Since it's Naturally Aspirated, you don't see a loss in boost and acceleration in the very high revs.
Plus a late shift sets you up better for the next higher gear.

Although, you will most certainly find something that will suit you well.

Because Arwin won't get of my back about how i really, really, really shouls learn MT. Really, really, really

And after 5 laps AT i noticed that i am a full second behind O.Z. and Prancing horse.

 

[boombexus]

Man, once you get the MT down, you're gonna be even faster than you already are.

I'm gonna get on this later tonight. Right now I gotta go get fitted for a Tuxedo.
It's my brothers wedding next month.

 

[made in holland]

El Mano, aka The Hand of Death is getting married?

Please send him my congratulations when you see him.

 

[boombexus]

I most certainly will. 👍

Ugh, this wedding though couldn't have come at a worse time for me.
Right now I'm pretty strapped financially and now I got to fly across the country, get a hotel room for about 4 nights, rent a car, buy wedding giftage and who know's what else.



Oh well, it's my only brother.

 

[made in holland]

And i was just about to ask you to come over for the international I-link and kick Rons ass with me.

But if your brothers wedding means so much to you... oh well.

 

[boombexus]

Man, I'd love to come over there to do the I-link! Wish I could afford it though. Sounds like a blast!

But I really can't wait until GT4 comes out with it's online play. Then all the distance in the world won't get in our way!
OHHHHHH, DAMN, just thinkin about it get's me all excited. I can't wait till december. I've already got a copy on pre-order for next day delivery!!!!

Hopefully GT4 makes it out when they say it's gonna be released. Hopefully you will have the "Network" up and running over there in your neck of the woods.

 

[made in holland]

I really can't wait untill GT4 is finally released.
Only thinking about it makes me go wild.

Imagine, every day would be an I-link day from your own home.

I hope they stick to their words and release it in December.

Nah, my posts are unique not even Ron can replicate them

 

[Kelly]

Mischa while I'm here I might as well ask you , as I sent a pm to Arwin but I want quick response

http://www2.holland.com/include/loadad.html?page=http://www.campingzeeburg.nl

Do you know anything of this place? it's cheap as hell and I'm hoping it's near somewhere

 

[made in holland]

I've never heard from the place, but it's close to Amsterdam and the Rai.

It is an option. And i'm sure Arwin has some other options aswell

 

[Kelly]

If it's close to the Rai then it'll do 70 euros per night for a 4 berth cabin is alright!

I'll wait see what he says and make some reservations

Thanks

Hey, guys. Just saw the action in here so I figured I'd pop in and say "hi".

So, hi.

I also want to tell you guys that if Team GTP gets reactivated, I heartily endorse UB57, aka "Uncle Bob". He's a GTP member, a great guy, and he's fast. He's also retired and he likes to devote lots of time to perfection. He's won the Rome 2-hours in a Vitz, for cryin' out loud.

Anyway, just figured you guys ought to know.

 

[Kelly]

Hello I agree with what you said about UB57 and I also think that should the need arise we would have a much better, stronger reliable team for the future with all these consistant racers from the weekly race, and would be nothing like last time's disaster

Good to see the OLR forum has at last picked up over the last few months ...mainly due to the weekly race series 👍 Good call and good job Boom!

 

[Bollocks#999]

wondered what was going on in here

not quite there yet but will give it a big go tomorrow and tuesday
cheers

 

[Bollocks#999]

just gotta link it all together now

Well nothing anymore, I think the guys didn't like my prying eyes and took their **** over to their GTN garage but they've no need to worry no more as Max and Ron are out of torc now so you can come back home now lads

Good luck to all the GTP reps 👍

 

[made in holland]

We never went anywhere

I just had a very hectic weekend. Just got back from Sensation, a 12 hour danceparty in the Amsterdam Arena. So i did not have time to race.

Max and Ron are out Torc? Why?

 

[Kelly]

Oh I noticed your boss then making the move while you were away


Max pulled out earlier in the week and Ron decided to not run solo after all, kinda lost the enthusiasm for it all.

"the Riggs/Murtaugh relationship just aint there no more man" ( a quote from Max )

 

[made in holland]

Max is getting too old for this ****

 

[Kelly]

Yeah, just noticed he 32 today! well in a few hours for him
