Race 7 Circuit de Catalunya 35 Laps

lol, vette, acr, v12 vantage lol

yea
I'm still iffy about what i want to do but hey i got a while before the next series so i gotz me a lot of time to test

but so far i got to say this car sure has come a hell of a long way since when i started.
I'm pleased with the results i have gotten, i just wish i could get more out of it

Bimmer and I had some practice today it was pretty decent, learned a few things or 2, i just need to be a little bit more smooth and consistent

i gladly inform you all that if you plan on finishing the race without (visual) fender damage then you are fooling yourself, and I'm not talking about My driving, its your own!! don't believe me, drive into pit road and see for yourself!!!!!!!

I stated a topic in FM forums, join in if you want, talk about it, maybe if enough people complain turn 10 will actually fix something for once .... worth a try

A little Power Over action exiting turn 9 from my practice session lol... Busted the tail light slapping those cones on the far side of the track exiting turn 9 a few laps earlier, all in good fun!

When you guys do practice races do you use the gt2 class cars to race against? Also how do they normally do compared to you guys? I figured if im going to be practicing against other cars mine as well do ones that mimic the competition the best.

So yeah, I have a feeling I'm not gonna be doing too hot today. A friend of mine wanted to celebrate her 21st birthday at Harrahs Casino (to gamble and go in the club they have there Masquerade), I didn't get home till 6:30am...had work for 7am and then when I get off for 3, I'm helping out my friend with his supra. This race should be interesting to say the least, sleep deprived, physically exhausted, minimal practice on a track that I barely know...this is going to be very interesting lol.

Yes, If there is no one from the series on or everyone on is doin there own thing. I practice with the computer ALMS cars on hard. (set them on what works for you best, but you want them to give you a race not be easy)
1. ALMS BMW M3
2.ALMS Jaguar XKR
3.ALMS FORD GT MKII
4. ALMS Ferrari 430
5. ALMS Porsche 911 (x2)

I think I am missing one but you get the idea. The computer cars drive a lil different so you have to drive wisely but it will help you learn to get better in traffic.

(edit) Yeah Rotor it sounds like the nighttime fun is costing ya some day time struggles! Well, all I can say is be careful out there. I don't know what you do for a living but the conditions you described usually lend themselves to mistakes.

Ya thats what i was wondering. Ive been setting the car class to gt2 on hard and racing with them.

yeah, i can keep up with a couple, but others kick my ass, just cuz im stuck in traffic the whole time.

went out to buy a wheel today, went to 4 stores, none of which had any!
kinda sucks

Well guys if i don't make this race or suddenly leave, its because of a power surge. Ive had 2 in as many minutes.

Get your pit crew on it quick!

It should be good now as the storms dieing down. Its been a long time since we've had a power surge as bad as tonight.

it randomly dropped me from the race and here i was running 1:47/8.

That was a nice race . For once i felt my car was competitive (1:46.9XX my best lap) and had a lil fight with predator for the 4th position on the room. Kinda scary how i was going like 15 mph faster then everyone on the straight but nowhere near the same braking power or handling lol.

damn shadow that blows.

after action report predator if i wouldn't have pitted bimmer would have beaten me by 2 seconds had i pulled roughly the same laps, and had enough fuel

drag race from the last corner to the first split time marker, bimmer in the pits, i run the straight,
in the race he got -32 seconds off me, and during this test, i got - 30 on him, would have been exciting!!! had we been in the same lobby

Ya. I also wish I hadn't screwed up on the 1st few laps also. But in the end it didn't matter.

Yes, hopefully next week we get the regulars, the new racers all to qualify and race. That would be awesome. Please check rules and regs for after race tech report.

Right after the race we caught up with Predator to find out what happened during the race.

Michelle: Great race how do you feel about the results?
Predator: Are you serious!? Your lucky I am even talking to you right now!

Michelle: So you are unhappy about your results?
Predator: Were you in la la land? Were you watching the same race I was? I honestly don't think so cause if you were you would not ask such questions. But Here is what I will say....I am very disappointed in my race here at Catalunya. I feel I let myself down, and Ferrari who had several "special" guest here today for the race. I was a little over confident this week and because of that and my busy schedule I didn't put as much effort into practice sessions. It also did not help that Ferrari (MICROSOFT) didn't send me a new steering wheel for my car. All of these factors along with the competition getting much tighter led to a pretty dismal showing for me and my 458.

Michelle: I, umm well yo
Predator: (interrupting) Listen its over history, done. The race is in the books. However I will say this, NEXT week is typically a track that doesn't favor the Ferrari but next week Ferrari and I have a score to settle. I will be on the hunt for my prey and on my list of the hunted is Porsche, Viper & Corvette! They want a fight here....it.....comes!

hah Challenge has been set ima ready

Lets See If you Can Hunt Down My Falken Porsche

WOW! Hot shot talkin ish now! Well allllright I like it!

Ooo....ooo, after my 13 hour sleep, I'm ready to take on the world!!! I love the fact that you really don't know who will win each week, once I lost the lead yesterday, I literally had a "f@*$ it, let me get this $h!# over with" attitude. The hunt for the podium has gotten seriously interesting. Plus my testing on next season's "weapon of choice" is in full effect.
