(if it gets approved by M&M, Its TORA legal as i havnt altered any of those parts so as long as nobody minds i'll be running it)

.... Its a bit special and quite good looking

Unwritten rule is that we allow 1 'home' livery per season.

You must submit a new spotters guide pic in the next 11 minutes though.

it should be with you now AJ.

As for the car, what are you doing engine wise? i have a single turbo tri rotor, and all i need is little squeeze of the throttle to get it out of corners

In the flesh or a picture?

Either/Or

i love it so i think i'll make you wait

(PS: its a Twin Turbo, less Laggy that way, power is not the problem, its grip)

ahh but the turbos do kick in at a bad time so i went with the more lag and less boost to get off corners better

it flies out of the corners great, its just a general lack of mid corner grip that im struggling with.

oh well its not like im doing well in LMS anyways lol

hmmm, all i can say is i have an extreme spring setup so my mid corners are ok, not as good as avengers, but still

tumultuous? not sure what that means

i had a decent race, it was clear from the start no one was gona catch Duncan, i got myself upto 2nd pretty well then was trying to hold off Louis but the pressure got too much for me and a couple of mistakes let him by, but then it was pretty much plain sailing to the flag and a now two 3rd places in a row sets me in good stead for the rest of the season

Y22 that was a lot of fun racing you there! and the best part it was clean!, I'll keep that in mind next weekend with the GT3's! and the following week in Motegi!

To say I'm gutted is an understatement! Lagging out of the race with less than 20 minutes to go!
I wouldn't mind but I spent nearly every evening for the last two weeks testing and preparing the Aston DBR9 for Suzuka.

Thinking it over the last hour or so, I think I'm going to take a break from the racing for a little while. When I'll be back, I don't know. I will still be around in the forums though to see the results from each race. But good luck to all of you in every series that you take part in!

shame to let one lag out put you off for a bit Dan, its bad luck thats all
I had a couple last year in the GT3's, just have to take em on the chin.

Louis - clean is what i'm all about, if your faster you don't have to bump and bang to get passed, it'll happen eventually.

Dan 2605, don't take a break. It happens to everyone. Just don't put in as much time tuning and testing. Then if you do lag out, you haven't wasted as much time. You said you tuned and tested every night for the last 2 weeks. Just do a tune you are happy with and then use your skills to turn up and compete. See you on Tuesday......... I hope!

GT1 Lobby C replay is on my storefront. Some great racing, and a mistake near the end saw me under a lot of pressure from Slim right to the line.

You sir just earned yourself some serious respect it'll come back to you in some way!

Dan won't leave!! He'll have some time to cool down, but the temptation of a dicey race and realisation that its all a bit of fun will bring him back!

Unlucky to everyone especially biggs who lagged out in the GT1's.

Was having a horrid time with the front end of my car whenever I put the power down. I was deservedly in last place but was gifted fourth after everyone lagged out.

Here are some pictures from the opening laps of Suzuka from Lobby B:

Nightrider's Spin....


...and how close i was to hitting him!!


The Accident after the safety car....


....and its aftermath....


.... and finally my recovery....

Don't forget Dan and DMR too, although I was the only person to have actually gained a place on track sheerly through a pit strategy!! I would have to say congrats to the Aero Dynamics team and WWR Chillz, but all in all I found it a thoroughly boring event.

what in the world is going on with the points page on the website

its teams then drivers overall

bt it hasnt put drivers in overall positions its dropped a round already when it shouldnt drop a round untill lyk the last few when dropped rounds come into account

no they do it as we go along now.

does seem a bit stupid to show a dropped round already but i suppose thats how it it, i jumped the gun and thought i was going to be 2nd

Dropped rounds have shown on the points from the very beginning for the last two seasons (including this one), so it's nothing new.
