Not raced on this track yet but sure is fun to hotlap the Aston around here Wouldn't think the Viper is so good around here but JR's time is impressive and I bet Freq is quicker, the tinker. Be around Friday pm for some pracci.

Hey guys , long time no see. Clicked on the bm to SROU on an impulse, and got bitten by the racingbug immediately Thought I'd try to get back to simracing slowly, err, slowly get back to simracing....well, either will do I guess Think there's room for one more at Suzuka come sunday? Memory failing me, I checked the rules on joining a race when not signed up from the start. Drivers who are reserves should not join until the following times: GTR2: normal reserves may not join until Practice 2; second reserves not until Qualifying 1. So would I be a normal reserve? Second reserve? Not allowed at all?

I must say, I like this place. Even in the wet there is quite a lot of grip. Had a praccy last night in the wet, ran 2:02's in race trim. Not quite the 1:54's was running before it got wet, but at least I now have a wet set-up.

Welcome back, Mike. No official reserves here this season, just get on the server and you're set. Had a few laps in the Marcos and this track he loves less than Zhuhai. Even so, I like driving it. Need more time laps. TT

Great, see you on track then . Had some practice laps, and, well, it's just like bicycling. Just a second or two left to get back to last years pace Love the track, one of my favorites. Especially the first section, before the hairpin. If it rains though, I can picture myself going wide and spinning in looots of places.

Managed to just about scrape a 2:04.9 tonight, but kept messing up the last sector & know I can probably hit a 2:04.0 very soon. Lazlow is already there

Those trackrecords have got to be beaten just did a quali 1:52.2 online and wanna break into the 51's Okay now I'm hoping for rain.... Just kiddin Pretty sure at least the race time will be replaced. Wonder if something happened to Jeff in the race last year, or if we had less then optimal conditions. The weather report up top says chance of thunderstorms at the moment . I sure hope we don't get those. Got 1.54's in race trim online yesterday too, though I went off track quite a bit. A single 52 in quali trim. I noticed the F550 has only 10kg extra weight this year, compared to 20kg last year. I hope it doesn't give too much advantage over other cars.....just a little bit . It's still the only GT1 I have multiple setups for, so I'm sticking with it, I think.
