Can I join my pan name is bbbarkus and I am level 27 with cars such as the 787b

regardless, we should do a race with that car on the ring...a long race :)

2-3 hour enduro timed to do 24 hour game cycle. i think it would be fun and honestly, we could do 2 different types of cars maybe for the classes. one much quicker than the other so we can see more people on the track :) (turn off penalties too)

anyway, i digress...

probably better saved for gt6 with 32 cars on track :)

We will most likely have to wait a while anyways before we have enough people to fill each of the divisions. Maybe GT6 will be out by then (:P)
 
Hello guys.
Looks like we are going to cancell the race for Saturday due to the holiday, we will just move everything back 1 week. I think we will still have practice this week just wont race Saturday.
Thanks guys.

Yes, you may join. You need to choose a unique color combination and car number then we will send you the Turtle FR's. Thanks!
 
My 1967 ticket gave me a Honda n30 with a whopping 28 hp. I got hosed on that one lol

Did you save your game data before you used the ticket?

If you did you can just restore from your backup data and try again.
 
Excellent pics, great to see all those TRL'ers at once.
 
So I'm wondering if anyone has done 4 laps on 1 set of tires around the Cape.... Anyone?? :scared:
 
I will probably do some tonight. What happens after 4 laps? Does the loop collapse on itself due to lack of engineering?
 
I just ran 6 laps had to be real conservative I could run 6 laps in the 2:42:00 range and still keep tires on it

^That is probably about what I will be running to conserve my tires. I was able to run 2:38:00 pretty easily after just a few laps of attempts, but I was shredding my tires.
 
Yeah I did one 2:38:50 but then tires would not make 6 laps
 
Great pics of our first full room.
Congrats to everyone on great clean racing.

Tire wear, yikes! To be competitive I think you gotta go 6 laps on a set. The ring kept getting me after 4 laps.
 
Pit strategy looks to play a part in this event. If pushing you are able to get 3 or 4 seconds more out of a lap but need to pit 1 or 2 extra times I may depend on the length of the pit. I remember losing a close race by about 20 seconds on suzuka at 560pp to guy who pitted twice more than me. If I had thrown 1 extra pit in and not lost so much time the last 3 or 4 laps of my tire life the outcome may have been different. How much time is lost between lap 2 and lap 6? Should be a fun race. And by guy I mean Mic:ouch:

If I pit every 4 laps the last 2 laps would be very interesting! :D
 
So maybe the slower folks that don't thrash their tires have an advantage. :)

I usually see how long the pit stop takes away from your time. (ie pit stop takes 40 seconds, when you would have passed by pit in 10 seconds, so there's a 30 second delta)

Will try tonight if I can.

Good point, but if there is a specific point on the track, or a sector that is really hard on your tires compared to the rest of the track, maybe it is wise to only slow in that part of the track? 💡

I'm not sure how the tire wear factors in, as I haven't done any laps yet due to the fact that I'm really not a fan of cape ring :indiff:

Honestly, I think it is the ring itself that wears the tires so much. I actually did some laps Saturday night after the races I like Cape Ring so much. 👍
 
I like Cape Ring Inside. :)

Not a fan of the loop,the jump, or that quick slight uphill/left turn/slight downhill/right turn after the jump.

Are you sure you are going the right direction? After the jump is the loop. :confused:

67 I guess. I have the Ford and the Jag for the Vingate race, just need the ferrari one and it's 67 I think.

I'll get the 1967 Birthday Ticket to you today. Thanks!
 
I received a message to check out the Turtle Racing League. My old eyes don't have the stamina to read through the 100 preceding pages, can someone give a quick summary of how I sign up and when we race?

Thanks in advance for helping out an old gearhead-gone-virtual.
