I can run too?

sure.. can u make it to all 3 races? and finish ?

Not sure. I can do tonight though.

Hired, Sniper and I had a great battle for the whole race. Hats off to them for a great race.

You guys ran faster than i ever could lol. Good stuff. I hung with you after you pit but only barely. Spent the race tracking down Duck and Duty after a terrible start. Good to see Piihb back though!


I couldnt save my replay it got stuck in the save screen til eventually i popped into the lobby with everyone. Didnt see how many credits i got or levels i gained. So anyone with a replay, please send it to me.

That was one hell of a race in GT. Sgt Tethras, JpnV4R and I battled hard for most of the race. It wasn't until lap 45 when Tethras and JPN got together that I was able to finally take a breath.  Nose to tail for 15 laps is crazy! Not to mention the other 35 laps of goin 100% full out!

I lost Audio half way through lap 2 and was driving with no sound until the front straight heading into lap 3 where i pulled over eased of the gas and quickly unplugged and re-plugged in my HDMI cable to get the sound (and picture) back. Luckily I only lost maybe 4 seconds in the quick unplug re plug action. I had to push my limit after that to get back to the pack who was going a bit slower cause they were battling.
 

There were a few bumps nicks and bruises I saw that will be reviewed further. But for the most part they appear to be race incidents that happened early in the race.

First time winner this week. Awesome. Congrats bud.

I wondered why you lifted after entering the front straight.

Nice pictures

Seemed to be a Ford weekend as Ford dominated the GS and ST aspects of this weekends racing. Scattered battles throughout the field in both of those races proved to make this one exciting for most in attendance.

While Worminfested drove his way to his first FSCS career victory, Sn1per proved to be able to withstand the pressure from Matthnt and eek out yet another win.


In ST it was a three-way battle between the fords or Citizen and Matt with the Cadillac of Roscoe in tow. The Mustang's little brother, Fusion, stood to prove that it can beat the 'Stang at its own game.


 
 Section 8 had a good showing Sunday with Duty finishing 4th and Duck finishing 6th. They aren't anything if not consistent that's for sure. While the squad of Matt and Hired are down a car they proved that they can still put together a commanding run and finished 2nd and 3rd respectively.

The big news of the day was the return, if only temporary, of Dr. Caddy himself, Piihb. It was quite a sight as NSA Cadillac Racing fielded all three drivers for the first time this year. 


 Next week brings the ever perilous Camino Xtreme circuit. With everything under the sun to offer it will be a wonder as to which vehicle decides to come alive and reign King of the Xtreme.

Great recap sainted. "King of Xtreme".Do I hear another title to join LeMans Champion and King of the Ring?

Great pictures and great recap.  Good to see Dr Caddy back.

I like the diversity of the field in GS. Saleen, Acura, Ferrari, Chevrolet, Porsche, Ford and Cadillac.

Race results & recap will be up sometime today.

Well, i can say that i love that track. I remember my rookie season going door to door in the best race i have ever had in this series against you. That was an amazing race. We were so close there we had our splitters under each other but took no damage. Ahhh the good ole days. Camino was my first A lobby qual too. I cant wait.

Thank you. Didn't think I was gonna get the win especially with the faster cars in that race. It was a good race.

Just wondering, i remember on some of the replays your car would take some serious suspension damage, did you ever get that worked out? I think the last time i saw it was at Indy.

I see the same thing with a couple of guys. Their suspension is soooo soft they get damage when the car hits a dip, a curb and bottoms out and stays bottomed out for more than it should. I know it slows em down over the course of a race.

If you run a soft suspension, bump up the ride height. Trust me, with it as soft as it is the car will sit just as low still and you wont get that damage. When you bottom out like that you are losing a tenth or more each time.

Also... I do have a *free* tune shop for anyone that needs some help on a track.

I will work to make it as best i can. Which reminds me, F1CRZD i have been working on that Carrera for the last few weeks and i have it controllable. The thing is for it to be fast (at least for me) the oversteer is kind of needed to get it around certain corners. I have been trying to make it neutral for weeks.

I sent him two tunes for the Careera. The next time he raced with us in the tune I sent he was running 2:06's the whole evening of practice sessions! He was battling up front! I have no clue what the heck happened in qual and the race where he hovered around the 2:08 area for the most part. SMH...

He has good driving tendencies back when i was running with him at Indy, but after spending so long on the tune there it was race time before i felt it was ready. Its a tough car to run believe it or not.

It's a Porsche. You have to tune and drive them different than almost everything on the road! If you figure them out they can be blisteringly fast!

Its a Porsche, yes, but its not a 911. So it can be driven like any other mid engine car. That said its a car that you have to learn to drive with oversteer. I can drive it decently fast, but it requires throttle control.

Yeah I did stiffen the front springs. I do know I need to bump them up some more. Trying some different things. Still in tuning phase.

My carrera gt is an understeering pig

Its also a horrible car at 735 which is why it's rarely picked. It needs at least 750 to be okay.

trying to figure out how the mustang wins catalunya, a handeling track, then we go to road america and it cant keep up with the leader.. its been a weird season.
