I was wondering about that since you never answer my challenge for a match. lol I see that FLR has posted the newest set of cars, C-Class Honda's, at Hockenheim short.  Should be close racing.

I quietly did about 30 laps last night.

i say it allll the time. some people cant read or hear lol  

Hello is anyone out there? Im still not home from work. I wont be on until late :c. Hopefully GTDon and other officials can help get people qualled up.

I had an extravagant pre race session last night. I am still going to try and make the race as planned but my insurance payment is in. :-)

Sent the replay to pred last night, gtdon has my finishing picture and the picture of my car in its pit stall on lap 29.
Managed to finish 2nd to the zonda with only 4% gearbox damage (missed a shift in turn 1 exiting the pits.)
(Saleen pitted on lap 48-49!!!!)

Also, gtdon can assure you the room settings were correct as he was in when I started and stayed for about 10 laps in the lobby.

If I don't make it home in time, good luck everyone and please don't drive too fast. Help a brotha out

....How did don get a pic of your car in pits on lap 29 if he only stayed 10?

i tend to get on at about 2am until i crash out at maybe 3 or 4. When i get home form work im too tired to argue with my brother about a damned xbox feel me? Imma just buy a new box anyways seeing as though mine is getting pretty damn decrepit. Once that happens ill be on a lot more. In other news... i got me some turtle beaches and a new tv. You know the difference is really noticable on gta and stuff... but on forza? my old tv held its own even with its tubes going and being a mammoth 420p relic.

Yeah, I know I can figure out some stuff. I think it is either a 1H 23:51 or a 1H 24:01, but I can't really conclude much from that picture.

who do i send replay to?

Thank you to all for the show of solidarity with the black ties to honor my fathers passing

Yep nice race everyone. I cannot believe the crazy controller failure I had on lap 45 - all of a sudden it went dead - batteries were fine. Cost me 30 seconds and 4th place - thankfully had spare batteries on hand, not knowing what was going on.....

Yesterday I had 3 super intense races, at ST I had to push over the 25 laps to keeps with HiredGun pace.

At CT, with a little damaged car I had to push over the 40 laps to avoid been passed by Ruptured Duck.

In both cases it was a fight for the Lead.


Later at GT some mistakes in the first lap puts me in the middle of the pack after a good start that puts me in the top 3 spots.

Then I had a great battle with Rocbtm and Roscoe for almost 20 minutes, when was able to get ride of them Hired was in my list to catch, and get a top 5 finish in GT.

But the abuse of racing passes me the Bill, I got sore hands at half of the race. The pain made me slow down and almost got passed by Lukemad.


So I have to take a desicion to make a good race at Nordschleife, I´ll race only at ST and GT.

Actually I dont get into Spec this race, so i´m not in the list for Nur, and CT is the one I´ll leave behind to rest my hands for GT race.

So, Ruptured and Sabre will have a ¨Mano a Mano¨ at Nur for the CT championship, I think whoever wins will clinch the title.


See you at practice!

if anybody's on today, ill host practice. This is gonna be a lonnggg weekend running four classes here. On that note, running four classes has really helped. Running the 90+ laps before the GTR race helped me pick up a second from my qualifying time last night. Each car may be different but it really is beneficial if you have the time to run all four.

There was an incident in GS that is under investigation.

I did not see any other violations in the replays I watched.
