So with the weather, does it match whatever it is at the time of our race (8:30pm qauly) so 7:30pm at Suzuka, or does it base it on time of day in the race? So race time is 2pm in game, so it will be what the weather was at Suzuka today at 2pm? Thanks mate. |

Basically when we race the weather is live ie. When we are racing whatever is happening in Suzuka,Japan should match our on track conditions. A weather forecast will only give an indication of how it might be

The viper was much more at home here.Just look at how well bwana gets it around the track. Had a solid night limited mistakes to one but a big one in race two. While in solid third at the time for pitstop but was unable to locate my pit. Dont know what haappened just did not get to see it. Out for another lap got it second time around what a waste of 50 seconds.
Put that behind me head down to the finish and got lucky when bwana runs out of fuel. Third in both races is a nice result for me. Congrats to all podiium and very bad luck for bwana sorry mate.
Great turn out on the grid again thanks all for coming see you all next week.
Apologies for the after race chat before all got to finish will think better of it next time.

A round to forget for me, but shite happens. I will still say I'm not overly impressed, it has really tainted it for me and its definitely not the sort of attitude I expected to cop, but F it.
I'm out for the next 3 rounds with work anyway so Im just going to do my best to put it all behind me and move on.
Will hopefully be back for Toban but will see how I go.
Apologies to you Bwana, kinda stuffs you in the teams championship, sorry about that mate.

Great turn out guys. So so night for me. R1 from pole to flag. Car was sweet drove within in itself. Relaxed a bit too much with three to go allowing Jhonny to get within range if l made a mistake . Great chase JF. R2 thought l would use some extra fuel mix early to gap from 1st to eliminate inevitable pressure from JFONZ. .Worked well BUT doing that cost me in the end . Pitted a lap early with only .9 of a lap of fuel left.. Grr that cost me on last lap of race. Felt crap last night and worse today.. Lurgy grr. Well done all finishers and especially podium's.. As for race chat please be considerate of others. I'm a culprit at times for which l apologise. Incident arguments should be left for post race please... We will just keep the others honest when we can Shawn. I will miss plenty as well.

Enjoyed last night except the second race changed down to quick in the last esses and blow engine.
after going out i was watching and listening and there was a lot of chatter which should be kept to a minimum as people are trying to race and dont want to put off. There were comments that i believe were unnecessary and i believe were tactics in some close battle to put people of. NOT CALLED FOR.
Look forward to next round hopefully i will finish

During practice was lacking pace and was switching from low DF to high DF and getting the same lap time. Once Qual kick over it was time to decide so I went high DF and got a PB.
1st Race followed Shorty for much of it but really hard to pass unless you have good speed on the straight and I didnt.
2nd Race started off well and continued until I went to pit. I decided to late and hit the wall heading into pit lane. After 300+ sec of repair headed out to just finish.
To clear up a few things.
There must be no talk during race regarding incidents/accidents. It is up to the drivers to decide if they want to redress and if you feel hard done by the Protest system is to be used as per the rules. Drivers get distracted by constant chatter so keep talking to a minimum during race and no talk during qualifying.
Drivers discussing incidents during race will have 30sec added to race time
When P2 cars are passing GT's try not to cut across in front and be more patient....next round is Daytona a 90 minute race so plenty of time to pass on the banking
Let me just organise the race events and try and make it enjoyable for everyone. Grid sizes are looking great so lets keep it up

i know i had slight rant in race 1 but all p2's were pretty good. track was nasty for p2's and tbh i had wider elbows lastnight than in prev races due to bwana's influence.
