15 minutes would probably do it.

Looks like another great series in the making, Dawson.

I bought both cars:  S2000 '06, and Toyota 86 GT '12.  Oil change, spec parts installed.  No chassis upgrade.  No change to other components: the Brakes, Clutch/Flywheel, Drive Shaft are stock.

Ran both cars on all the tracks listed.  In general, I found the Honda oversteers a lot more than the Toyota, and can be a handful on Cote D’Azur (the Toyota is so well planted).  I personally like the S2000 due to this characteristics.

Post by: Wolfpack987 on February 23, 2015, 12:15:37 PM
Love the feedback!

I agree Numb, S2000 definitely oversteers more.  Depending on the driver that can be an advantage or disadvantage.

Dude, I think we can accommodate the extra 15 minutes.

Thanks Dawson. Please add me with an S2K.

Also, are custom rims allowed?
Title: Re: Sport Compact Cup, coming soon on Wednesday nights!
Post by: Feldynn on February 25, 2015, 09:55:50 AM
I should be able to make this!  I'll most likely be in one of the Toyubarion clone cars, also I notice in one pic you have the cars with the blank number panels on them so are we supposed to add a driver number?
Title: Re: Sport Compact Cup, coming soon on Wednesday nights!

Awesome Feldynn, glad to have you!

Yes please pick a racing number
Yes custom rims are allowed

Very cool setup Dawson.  You come up with some awesome race ideas.  Its got the racer in me jumping up and down like a little child screaming I wanna race! I wanna race!  (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)

I wish I could trust my PS3 to stay connected long enough to run a race.

I imagine it should be a pretty close race, if the clones vs Miata tuna cup race was any indication.  If I recall I think we had 3 of us within a point or two and I think a few more with a mathematical chance of winning the championship in the last race.

If anything this deserves a full room of racers.

Yes, right now I have WOW and they are anything but.  Well unless WOW stands for Wow this is awful.  My only other option cable internet wise would be Comcast and my understanding is they are not much better around here.

I don't know the only thing I could do is drag out the Ethernet cable and give it a shot but with the caveat that I'll probably be discoed in race one get pissed off and give up.  Which would also suck considering I just started playing again and am actually have a little fun with it.

I guess my nostalgia/craving for playing GT has kicked into high gear.  If you'll have me I'll join in.  FRS Rosso Monza #27.  I'll do my best to endure any connection issues and then retire again at the end of the season with a hard earned last place in the championship.  (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)

dlrws6 you are always welcome in my series!  Consider yourself entered.

Also, feel I should mention a thing or two:
-there will be penalty ballast for podium finishers
-might give the Twins a slight hp bump to encourage more drivers to pick that car.  :D

Oh, and there will be a twist to the series, announced after Event #1.  ;D

Best guess, I'll be home and online by 7:30pm central time and should have at least a 2 hour window for practice. I'm all for a practice session.  I'd like to see how slow I'm going to be having been on hiatus.

My shoulder is still giving me a lot of problems.  I will have to skip this week at least.   :(

I tried to play GT6 a bit on Monday (15 minutes, then rest for 15-30 minutes), that did not help my case at all.  The muscle group around my shoulder blade has all tightened up in the past 2 days again.

I used to have some issues like you describe. I wound up adjusting my rig so my seating and arm position were different and also lowered my FFB settings.

Awesome first night everyone!  Couldn't have gone better IMO.  Congrats to peyepete and myself for taking home wins!

Qualifying

6  Feldynn           + 09.749

Points after Event #1
1  peyepete      25 pts
1  Wolfpack987 25 pts
3  bdubclub       15 pts
3  DudeTuna     15 pts
5  dlrws6          10 pts
5  Feldynn         10 pts
6  nosoks           8 pts


I hadn't given it thought before, but this event format could lend itself to a lot of ties each night, as one can see above.  To fix this, going forward, unless someone disagrees with it, all race total ties will be determined by qualifying position.  I won't apply this to Event #1 because it could possibly be viewed as unfair...unless you all agree to it.  Applying that rule to last night gives us this:

1  Wolfpack987
2  peyepete
3  bdubclub
4  DudeTuna
5  Feldynn
6  dlrws6
7  nosoks

(and I know, pretty funny that the name order is the same on both lists.  I just listed names (tied) alphabetically and it turns out that's how qualifying went as well)  (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)

The qualifying times were very indicative of how the racing went down too I think, everyone was running around the same general speed and the only reason we spread out much was due to the little battles we had with each other and the odd small mistake.  Some amazing side by side racing, goos times, looking forward to next week!!

I injured myself on Sunday. I will do some test driving tonight and see where I'm at. I will let you know how I feel and hopefully I will see you all tomorrow night.

Hope you're already man, and that I see you tonight Dude.

A heads up for everyone.  Both of tonight's races will be 20 laps long.  (Endurance mode was used last week, however endurance mode doesn't let me select "reverse order of previous race" as an option, hence the switch to a fixed lap count.)  A good lap at this track is 58-59 seconds.

I am 50/50 for tonight.  I've been sick all week and I've felt the worst today compared to the other days. 

If I make it you probably won't hear me.  I'll have my mic on but muted so I can hear everything but I don't have much voice left and I don't think any one wants to hear me sniffle, snort, cough, sneeze and wheeze.  (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)

Since I'm just going to sneak in, race, and sneak out, my apologies in advance for any stupid moves I make.  If its any consolation, I will be on drugs (fyi the legal kind) at the time.  (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)

I will arrive and drive for as long as I can tonight. I fell on my back on Sunday and either bruised or have broken some ribs. I went to the Doc today and the only cure is time.

I may or may not be a few minutes past that 15 I asked for due to work. If it looks like I am going to be later than that, I will post here to let you guys know to go ahead without me.

Albert and Bernard just met Cheryl. “When’s your birthday?” Albert asked Cheryl.

Cheryl thought a second and said, “I’m not going to tell you, but I’ll give you some clues.” She wrote down a list of 10 dates:

May 15 — May 16 — May 19

June 17 — June 18

July 14 — July 16

August 14 — August 15 — August 17

“My birthday is one of these,” she said.

Then Cheryl whispered in Albert’s ear the month — and only the month — of her birthday. To Bernard, she whispered the day, and only the day.

“Can you figure it out now?” she asked Albert.

Albert: I don’t know when your birthday is, but I know Bernard doesn’t know, either.

Bernard: I didn’t know originally, but now I do.

Albert: Well, now I know, too!

When is Cheryl’s birthday?

For me the days going forward would be:

Thursday: 50/50
Saturday night
Sunday night
Monday: 50/50
Wednesday

I'd prefer to be there for the last one.  But I won't sweat it if I have to miss it.  My guess is I'll perform worse than I did at Monaco.  I've been trying to figure out how to be fast at Laguna Seca since 1998 with no luck.

Thank you dlrws6 for posting up your availability like that.  At this moment I'm free Thursday, Friday, Sunday Monday and next Tuesday nights.

Feldynn, I wish I could but that won't work.  I joined a spring sand volleyball league and games are Wednesday nights.  I had thought (incorrectly) that the games started 4/29, NOT 4/22.  Dammit all.

Ahh no problem, Wolfpack, since it's the last race I should be able to swing any evening around the same time we've been running.  I know DLRWS is 50/50 for Thursday but if it'll help I'm more than happy to postpone Touch of Class this week (or next week) so we can run this on a Thursday.
