Signed up with wolfpack! :o
Long Line Tunas!!
Well done guys.
Way to go Dude,
Awesome race 1 and I'm just sorry that I couldn't have done better myself. Team Nissan with a 1rd and 6st. Dude took the lead in I think the 2rd lap and never looked back.
I got taken out and never recovered, I must thank Dawson for waiting even though he isn't the one who spun me out.
Good fun and I look forward to the next race.
Great job teammate.
I'm happy to say me and Phreak took 2nd and 3rd places for Team UK. That gave Tunas a podium sweep for this race!
Good Job everyone - Oh where can I find the results?
I finished my last class for this session and should have Tuesday evening off. Anyone wanna team up?
I only tested street cars. Didn't realize we could run whatever. Guess I need to pull out an RMed Camaro or Vette. Best Lap so far is 1:59 in a Z06.

Only one of the Chevy RM or LM cars will work this time around and it's the '69 RM Camaro. All the others come in at over 550PP stock and we can only use 6kg ballast and can't use the power limiter at all so we have no way to lower the PP.
I think you and I are stuck with street cars this week.
Nice^
Well I'm glad I kept testing different cars. Just ran a 57.6
Has there been any mention of the number of laps this race will be?
managed a 1'57.448
Not sure how they expect a driver to put together a strategy if they don't know the length of the race until right before it's run.
From the list of updates for 2.02
Tire-wear speed adjustment
I wonder what that means?
Another fun race! I had a lot of close wheel to wheel passes that were largely (and at times amazingly) contact free. I was able to lay down a high 1:57 lap time in qualifying so I was very curious as to why I started 6th of 9 entrants? Anyone know how the starting grid was set?
In the race itself I was punted off the track on lap 2. Luckily I was entirely in the grass so my tires weren't scuffed up that much but it put me immediately 20 seconds behind the rest of the field. Catching up was fun but the tires couldn't go the distance and I finally pitted on lap 18. I finished roughly 40 seconds back in 3rd place but was gaining a few seconds a lap on the leader at that point :P
Great Tuna showing again, taking all podium positions! Well done team GM and Nissan especially. I'm looking forward to the next race after Christmas.
Way to go Wizard! Way to go Tuna! (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/nanaparty.gif)
I could see Wiz just ahead, pretty much the whole race, but I never got close enough to do anything. Tire wear was an issue for all, though I must admit it was the hairpin more than anything that added time to my laps. Watching the replay Sniper had nice even tire wear, yep front and rear completely worn out. (Damn fast lap times on rims by the way.) Wolfpack forgot to send the pitstop memo to TunaPhreak. (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/lol1.gif) Leaf you did a great job jumping in that GT-R at the last minute and running some strong laps. I noted during race near the final laps you were sitting in 3st, but with no front tires to speak of that did not last.
Goos Times
Off to pick up bushels of dancing bananas.........

Nice job guys! You make me proud! :'( (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/lol1.gif)
If only I could have caught Wizard, then I'd have all the bananas muahahahahaha. (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/lol1.gif)
Just out of curiousity, how much HP were you running the R390 at, Dude?
With some minor tuning last night I was turning consistent 1:40s with the Triumph. Given the power and weight of most cars at the 300PP limit I can only imagine that just about everyone will be able to run the entire race without a pit stop. :-\
That sound you just heard was your last comment going rushing by, over my head (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/lol1.gif)
Is that a screen shot from The Aviator?
So, I'm stuck using an Opel for this next race, but I don't have the eligible cars. Can anyone send me one of or both of the following cars?
Opel Corsa Comfort 1.4 '01
Opel Tigra 1.6 '99

"Catch Me If You Can" Do you concur Dr.?
(type I-concur with space where dash is)
My second wife. ;)
2 more questions. Where is the race tonight and do I need to befriend someone?
I noticed that lag as well. (from the Fiat).
I was a bit overzealous on the first lap and spun out in the 5th turn :-X I worked my way back up to 8th by the end of the race though. Had some tight racing with LastLeafFan, hope he didn't take offense from some slight bumping. With those slow ass cars it can be incredibly difficult to make a clean pass since you're in close proximately so much :o
2rd GTP_Sparkaloo 1rd ?
I'll have to look at replay again for name of first.

You don't have to do that, Dude. I'm sure EivlEvo will have the results posted soon. :)
I assume it wasn't a Tuna though?
I wish I had more free time. :(
I've yet to run a single lap in preparation for tonight's race. :(
I don't even have a car prepared. :(
I wish I had more free time. :(
Well it looks like I've got 8 more laps in then you do Tongue. Wolfpack is talking 47's, I'm lucky if I can keep it on track and do a 51.
My apologies to Wiz, I got home from the gym late and totally forgot about this.So Arnold stood the Wizard up? Better hope he dont change you into a toad or something. (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)

It's a shame about the low attendance, and I was especially disappointed that my teammate Phreak was kicked off the network :( I think he could have held on to 3rd place if not for a "mechanical" failure. Damn these unreliable British sports cars! (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/lol1.gif) I spent a lot of time tuning for this track and we had our cars set up fantastically!
Thanks for the kind words LastLeaf. Sorry your 350Z wasn't working too well, but I appreciate the wide berth you gave me when I went by. I'm proud of myself for finally having an error free race, and it was good timing to combine that with a well sorted and highly competitive car. 8)

Anyone turn laps yet? I've gotten a few of the Lotuses at my disposal down into the 59s... :angel:
Nice job last night Wolfpack. I had thoughts of going the whole race on one set of tires, but with 10 laps or so to go I chickened out and pitted. It sucks not knowing how much ahead, or behind, you are to those other than the leader. I just wasn't sure if I could make the last few laps and hang on to the position. Anyway, nice job to all the Tuna who raced last night. It was fun.
Sorry for any bumps last night. Especially towards the end of the race. I was tired as FUCK and my concentration went to shit.
That was the mast fun I had at one of these. Didn't have the car to compete with the Lotus's or the Solstices but felt I could have had 6th but for some brain farts here and there.
I had mic problems and couldn't hear any voices so I didn't know who was behind me. I know Phreak had a hard time getting around me and I apologize for holding you up, I would have moved over if I had known it wasn't for position. I had a great battle with Trimble all night and could have had him in the last corner but Phreak got some payback when I hit him (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/lol1.gif). I know you were done and under the control of the game so you couldn't move but you must have been cringing when me and Trimble came up behind you.
Congrats to team UK for wrapping up the championship and if you could see me now I'm spitting on the Lotus (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/lol1.gif).
Well done everyone and I hope w have some mother FUCKING high HP beast for the last race and please give me racing anything tires.
