Sorry guys my power went out, great race tho

 

[cnd01]

Hard racing. The first race 3 was a wash. I will have to look at the results and figure out what the highest position is for each car. Looks like I will be staying up all night looking at replays.

Is each race for the same points, The final race in-particular?

A link to the points system parameters is in the OP Joe.

 

[cnd01]

[TDZdave]

Yesterday was a total blackout here => couldn´t come to the races *arrrrggghhh*

In addition I couldn´t tell you guys why I couldn´t come. Sorry for that but that wasn´t in my hands.
Hope them races where tough, fair and tight with plenty of good racing 👍 (incidents occur hopefully not many and no harsh ones)

 

[Scca Norm]

I still need to fulfill that racing itch since I could not connect to yesterdays race.

Will be in Mr.M's lounge later on tonight around 7pm EDT if anybody's interested in turning some laps

Thanks for telling me. Certainly, you can't be penalized too heavily for not making a race in such scenarios. At the end of the season, there are three "Make-Up Rounds" which will be run to help people re-gain lost points, which have been lost for any reason.


The Madrid track was simply too tight, and I will ensure that all tracks are kept less narrow, and less difficult. I've seen too many crashes on Madrid, that just "happened" with no cause, and no "faults." I'll do what I can, to ensure that everyone gets good points coming from Madrid, except those who were too aggressive.



I've received word of ToS investigations, but cannot comment openly, because I have not yet had time to watch and review the replays, nor even put them up on YouTube.

Best news I've heard all week.👍



Mel has said many times, wait until the race and let's see what happens. It's time you should listen to that advice. You need to learn to let things go and not have to be defensive about every little comment that comes your way. If it's true that you should be heard out because the 4wd's are too fast, then it's also true that you should hear others out when they say that the GT86 has a huge tire wear advantage and is exceptionally fast given it's specs. If it's also true that you "don't care what's done to the specs" then start acting that way and you might gain some credibility. As it is you are beginning to look like a spoiled child throwing a tantrum.

2 out of 3 wins, temper tantrum my ass. What happened to the tire wear? It wasn't there. Just like I said it wouldn't be. You pit lap 3 and drove away from the rest of the field even AFTER they pit for new tires. ME INCLUDED. I'm the spoiled child though? Grow a pair and admit that my concerns were warranted. I'm all for fairness, not getting my way.

Cleaned. Currently four saved messages, all relevant to fallout from Saturday's races, and, a surprising amount of it from the Rolex race.

I've recently purchased an Evo VIII MR. I will be specing the Evo VIII MR '03 (the exact car that Johnny drove,) during this week, and I will ensure that it is at least one tenth per lap slower than you, Seth, but this will be the last time you complain about the cars' specs. I'm sure most people are tired of hearing about the specs, since all cars seemed equal, except the Evo VIII MR. NO MORE.

The EVO VIII was MR !!!!!!! No wonder he was so fast. Seth's argument just received more backing from me. He has superior balance, hp, and weight. Not to mention 4WD with better tire wear which I bet is just a tune though.

Yeah. I don't think Johnny's the biggest Evo fan, he wouldn't know the difference between the MR and GSR. Well, the MR's so good handling, that they make a 400 hp version... Even I didn't know that he was running the MR, until the day of.

Oops I am sure he will understand.

I didn't think I was complaining, just replying to a guy calling me spoiled. I'm not bragging or whining, I'm being real. I have a hard life, from being raised by a single father to getting kicked out @18 being homeless for years. I know damn well about privilege and not having.

I am on your side on this one. A MR car with basically ideal specs for this series.

 

[LancerEvo7]

The Evo MR is still front engined. MR stands for Mitsubishi Racing.

 

[freshseth83]

The MR just serves as their best platform of the EVO. It's much better than other 'regular' EVO's. I'm assuming it's weight balance is more favorable than the 59/41 of the EVO X.

 

[cnd01]

Bring on Clubman Route 5. It is time for the night race. Really wide track with really no clear passing zones.

 

[polarbear345]

Anyone in the mood for some testing tonight? If im on when you are, shoot me a message and we can practice. If we get enough people, maybe we could get some races in?

And if it's ok with Mel, maybe we could plan a fun race at Motegi west? Tomorrow in the afternoon? For those who work, it'd be like a "Make Monday fun" race... Not following ITCC race structure, just a 50 lapper? Hey, just some ideas...

 

[freshseth83]

West is too short IMO. I love the east course (1:28's).

I like them both, west has that really fun chicane at the end. It's just a idea, we could do either, or both!

And anyone else notice that on the online menu Motegi isn't capitalized??
