LOL..get it up to 205 and then I might be scared LOL!!!

Well, crap. At least I've got (some) cornering left!

@Raceboy: I really, really don't expect top 10, although I did set a 4:03 on my first flying lap. Hoping that bodes well lol

new season same old arguments

After my result at Sunset, the crew has a little fun at my expense....

Oh. My goodness. That is HILARIOUS.

X2 Raceboy top 8 will be good for me as well.
LSA the alps should be handed to you on a plate.

This but a golden plate with flowers around it and rainbows over your head and a unicorn serving you it.

Don't know about GT or ST, but nothing is set in stone for the GS Le Mans race.

Also happy to see some new/returning drivers in the GS class. Happy to see you, and hope to beat you lol

Yes matt, I'm definitely talking about the exige. That esprit is an amazing car but its tough at some tracks. Its like the Ford gt but worse. Instead of lining up with the roofline like most cars turn 10was like "I got an idea you guys! Lets make the roll cage sit at eye level and completely block the drivers view! Yes that's it. We'll make no one want to drive this car". I wonder if lotus paid extra to have an aggravating car in the game.

The Esprit is one of my favorite cars of all time and it was the first car I built on this game and I sent it to Bimmer and we were just so upset that you couldn't see anything out of the front window. I tried to convince No Brakes that if he wanted to run cockpit view that he had to train on that car

obviously there are cars that stick out and need a lower PI than others and vise versa, but a good driver can make almost any car competitive depending on the track and PI given. no offense at all Don but i've watched you drive that opel and driven it myself, consistency is a huge thing that comes into play your performances. that's the same for everyone though, even me. sometimes i have days i just can't hit my mark well.

overall, the cars are different, PI's are different, drivers are different. be consistent and keep out of trouble and you will get your results, it may take time, but they will come. we all know the system isn't perfect, but we're all here to race. if factors aren't going your way, fight it by racing better.

ps. i'm not trying to call anyone out at all, i enjoy all of your competition and racing with you guys <3. oh and don, i expect you to be on my bum or in front of me for maple .

Well, since I've been "called out" even though I didn't call anyone out, means I suppose I have to respond. Saying you aren't trying to call me out and then doing it, is, well, something we like to call 'bull s h i t' where I come from. lol

I think you could run the Opal faster Raceboy, because I think you are the faster driver. But that isn't the point of the P.I. system is it. The point is to equalize the performance of the cars with the drivers that drive them. You can say you've driven my Opal but the truth is you haven't driven my particular builds for the car. You can say that I'm not a very consistent driver, which is very true especially during the race, but when you go from being equal to steadily unequal on a downward curve each race, it's more than that at my skill level.

Like I said, I think the P.I. system works very well, but it needs to account for the type of scenario that has happened to me i.e., going from marginally equal to steadily less equal after each race.

I may see your bumper at the next race RaceBoy, but not for very long.

Raceboy, sometimes I worry about you lol. And to be fair, this track was a huge reason as to why I picked the C6.R. Of Metal/Fender's skill, however, I am not.

But how well can the C6 R run in Lemans?

I will be on tonight doing some practices on Lemans. Please let me know if you would like to join my room..I will be on at around 11pm ET

The fastest time that I have put up in the C6.R is a 4:02.5xx. And that's with me going completely balls-out. I may be able to go faster, but I doubt, if I can, that I can go more than a half-second or so. And, from what I have heard and can remember from last season, that's not exactly A-lobby time.

That would have gotten you into A room last season but not A room for season 7 you would have been in B Room. Man Season 7 times were fast

EARLY WARNING - There will be no PIRS adjustment between Le Mans and Bernese Alps. So those of you who got PIRS adjustments and think about building your car specifically for the speeds of Le Mans may want to think about how your car will be on the next handling heavy Bernese Alps.

There will be very thorough race inspection by 3 race Officials.

Can U include this for NurburgringGP as well

So i messe with my last weeks build i hit 212mph. Have fun trying to beat that

OHH PLEASE FREEZE THE PI!!!! the caddy can't get better then What i got....
well thats not true... i can drop 8 pounds...piihb likes the bbs wheels;)

Oh no sir. I wanted to run konigs and you are all like "No I'm a vag. Run the BBS wheels, I always run those. Just run BBS."So you sir can just get over it. I switched to bbs and then you dropped em. We are running bbs!

i honestly meant no offense, but to say that car isn't competitive even at that low of a PI isn't really true. obviously it depends on the driver but i thought i remembered you were really fast and when you signed up in that car i thought it was the end of the season already :p.

something special about this series is it's proven to make drivers better over time in my opinion, more than other series can due to the equality and attempting to keep up with cars you shouldn't be able to. i know it's made me a faster driver and that's pretty awesome.

don, i expect to see your bumper for about a lap. after that, i expect to see you only in the top right corner of my screen with an amount ahead of me. i know you're capable of that because i've witnessed you race before and i know you're better than how you've been performing. bad luck i assume, occasional damage etc. really affect that car due to its handling nature.

lol 180? i wish! 170 @LeMans

yeah but I bet your one of the quickest cars in the last section where it is high speed flowing corners.

--EDIT--

I know that this track is not going to be what you call a Porsche track, but just trying say you car will have its advantages around certain parts of the track.

From my experience trying some other cars out this week, it seems to me that we have little to no advantage in the high speed corners. The corners where the Porsche shines are the really slow ones, where it can take advantage of it's relatively low polar moment of inertia, like the hairpins at Infineon. Hopefully we can make the most of the couple of of slow corners at Le Mans, as they are fairly important turns for getting a good run onto those long straights.

Well i havent been on at all since the terrible performance last week. However during testing i was able to put down times that would place me top 5 last season. that last section if taking as fast as i can without worrying about screwing up can gain me crazy time. I know pred doesnt like posting times, however going by last years board i feel at least decently comfortable. however as far as consistency goes.... welll practiceeee is what i need.
