W.M.A. International Touring Car Championship-Season Wrap-Up!

[polarbear345]

I wish I still had my bike... Ten foot cliffs. Pfft, why did you break, bike?

Otherwise, seems about right.

I've got a pretty cool bike, it's half mountain bike an half... Normal bike... It's got shocks and stuff, but it doesn't have that rear shock... The guy that used to live across the street's brother worked for Gary Fischer (bike company) and he hooked me up!

Nice. I was pretty serious into biking (racing go-karts without buying fuel.)

I used to try to push as fast as possible around the tightest of corners. Slalom biking in a forest.

That looks ssssooooo fun! I went bmx-ing with friends... Didn't give me the same feeling as this trail that goes down the big hill my neighborhoods on (highest point in our county) its a "walking" trail, but everyone's complaining its "too steep" ... I took matters into my own hands.... That's where my daily bike rides going to be too!

I approve!

I've been slaloming everything that moves (kick scooters, toboggans, bikes, my feet, Hyundai Accents...) since I was 8. It's the poor man's way to learn how to win races!

I'm trying to find a friend that'd want to build a gravity car...

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Grrrrg, start swimming!

 

[polarbear345]

Grrrrg, start swimming!

Funny you'd say that... I used to swim.... Until you had before school practice at 5am (school is 45 minutes away) so I'd have to wake up at like 3:45... NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Ha, I almost dated a girl from the swim team. She did wake up quite early.

Wait, no, it's Storm's German-Canadian cousin, who just didn't need sleep.

Her schedule everyday:

Swim, school, schoolwork, swim... Her survival alone fascinates me.

I see why you didn't date her.... You weren't in her schedule!

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Haha, nor was I in her "physical ideals."

She ended up with an Asian guy. I look nothing like Asians. I'm a 6'3" guy with a well-trimmed beard, pale skin, and blue eyes. So, she chose the 5'4" guy with tan skin & black hair/eyes.

 

[NizmoDr3]

So what is the length of each of these 3 rounds at GVE?

 

[freshseth83]

15 laps normal race with qualifying order, with pace lap. Reverse grid for race 2; both using mediums and softs required. 3rd race 6 (5) lap shootout.

Ok cool ... thanks for the clarity Seth ...

 

[KingSakery]

Are we bound to one Car ??
I would like to use a variation of Cars (MR, FR and FWD) for the 3 races.

@MrMel: Yes. Maybe thats the thing. Some will perform with Car X better and Driver B
won´t get near to the Times driver A could produce with the same Car and Settings.
But I still have a feeling for a car to be much more easier to drive than others.

Maybe I have a nice solution:
You pick one Car with any combination of specs. All do a Q run with it. All are put into one list.
So you can see who is faster and or better with tuning.
The fastest 8 get a Ballast or a Power handicap.
This would produce even closer races.

Just a suggestion

+1. I think that could work!

 

[Johnnypenso]

If possible I'd like to sign up as a reserve. It will be tough for me to make all the races but I'd like to give it a shot.

EDIT: Saw another car I'd like to try

Lol ... Welcome Jonny ... you think Onboy is going too come and join aswell?

Err…it's 4AM on my side when the event begins. I like staying up late like any teenager, but I ain't nocturnal.

 

[Johnnypenso]

He just might Nizmo, he just might...lol.

 

[Onboy123]

He just might Nizmo, he just might...lol.

This race, maybe. But I'm not sure if I want to stay up till 5AM every Saturday. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love GT5 and I love these ideas, but it might be a bit extreme. It just might be.

Lol ... good point Onboy ... but this is still pre-season ... official season should start in July ...

Go to bed stupidly early and wake up stupidly early as well?

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Sorry Onboy. I found a time that's good for North America (& Central/South for Anthony) and Europe. Scheduling for all 3 continents is almost impossible. "It's always nighttime somewhere."

Guys, I'd like everyone to sample many cars during the preseason. I have driven 90% of these cars. I can tell you, that they do drive differently.

 

[Onboy123]

Eh, no worries, I get that a lot. I'll try to make it tonight, but if I do show up, just do be careful when you try to pass me, I might be just about to flop asleep for all you know.

And I've not had a chance to look through the full car list yet, but the Renaultsport Meganes are fairly competitive for what they are, so maybe give that a try as well?

 

[Johnnypenso]

Is there a deadline for car selection? If I still have a couple of weeks then I'll just try out a few cars and see what I like.

 

[GODfreyGT5]

Looks good lads!

A little questionable of Spa being a 'small circuit' though

Definitely keep to the smaller tracks in my opinion, from past experience it makes all races much more exciting.

Registration is sent.

 

[freshseth83]

Can't log on PSN for some reason. I'll keep trying.

 

[GODfreyGT5]

Yeh, network is down.

 

[polarbear345]

Yeh, network is down.

At least it isn't just me!

Sometimes it says I have to change my password, but it just froze when I got there... Did I get ahead of the update?!....
