UKPnG Season 8 Sports Car Series - Okayama - Jun 27

[phspok]

I would be surprised if any of the cars can't do 22 laps without a fuel stop.
If someone knows for sure e.g XD or real testing
then I will reduce the number of laps if it's a popular car.

hi phsok,

i did test pantera boss and i had 5.65-5.7 litres with 120l tank.
so it is 124 litres for me.
1 lap less would be good.

i did not test other cars, no time, did only see that race is short time ago.

...tyre wear is extrem much too in this car, i did 10 lap stint and i had already 13.xx tyre wear in front and rear.

...would be good if racelaps would be reduced by 1 lap, thanks

Hi all,
I hope you don't mind if I manage to race with you tonight. I'll stay away from the leaders

Had a clean start but then things got crowded when John came through on the long straight. Unfortunately, I nudged him off track two corners later - sorry John! I waited, but when I got going I was hit from behind and quit. Hope you all had a good race.

I may bow out for some time until I find the time to concentrate before the race.

No worries. I got disconnected a few laps later anyway, so no harm done.

Edit - Just noticed that's my fourth no-score in this series, so that's the title out of reach. Will try and win for the team from now on

[Animal Ed]

Now that was a bad luck! Disco while having second place in pocket with GT in range ... in that (17th) my last lap, gap dropped from 3,5 to 2,8 (is that false hope or GT run into tire problem)

Hate that 

[Berger R - 74]

i did had a disconnection too, i was in 2nd place after the former 2nd place driver animal ed? had a dico too.
2 or 3 laps before race did finished get a discois very much bad.

in start i did overtake goldtop and was in lead, but he did overtake in outside of next corner already, and he was able to make big gap before long straight comes so that i can not overtake him again,
then i had animal ed behind me for any laps, but he did overtake me too in a corner outside (damn, this little cars are fast in corners) and i was 3rd, i did loose a little time each lap, but not much.
car was great fun as then the tyres did start to loose grip and laptimes drop, but still did push good, if i did loose connection short before race was over, i was only 9.5 sec. behind leader goldtop.

i did push the pantera boss hard and had lots of fun, i did no mistakes but pos. 1 and pos. 2 driver was faster, nothing i could do against this.

hope i can make more png3 races in future, but not sure.

Let's all get pissed then.

[goldtop]

Good to see some new faces on the PnG grid tonight.

Was worried about the top speed of the tanks and when Mr. Berger out dragged me into T1 I thought I was in for one of those nights again. Fortunately I was able to use the mid corner speed of the pork to drive around the outside in T2 which surprised me as much as it must have surprised Mr. Berger.....can't imagine that happening too often  

From then on it was a case of managing the gap and keeping concentration with Ed close enough to take advantage if I made a mistake. I had some trouble with wear on my front left Ed, so had to be very careful for a couple of laps, but then unfortunately you discoed and soon after that Mr. Berger which left me with an easy win.

Must say I'm a bit worried about the disco fairy. It seems more than coincidence that we suffer in both PnG and in GTL. Server problem?

I'm sorry that I missed out on the fun. I liked the track and cars, but didn't have the free time today. Next week is probably no good for me either (national holiday). I hope to be back on track before too long though. I enjoy the competition in this league.
