:uhoh: :( :p


not again, you'll have to maybe pit twice now


can't you just be like the Goodyear guys at Nascar and just bring a hard ungiving tire every week

[johnny shell]

oh great. I'm the 1st one to qualify. so I have no idea what time to shoot for!

After a few laps I got down to a 1:38 pretty easy. now it's time to work on the details. I say in the low 1:30s will be good for me.

I challange the top guys to get below 1:30 :)

[johnny shell]

1. 1:37.81

it took be forever to get below 1:38!

I don't think I can get much more out of her :(

I see piotr holds the codies record at just under 1:31.5

[Peter Vuko]

Qualifying Update: Bahrain
1.Vuko Snr.......1m.34.88(unofficial)
2.J.Shell...........1m.37.81

That time by Piotr is very fast......I think I will be able to get into the 33's with a little more tinkering...& getting to know the track better will help...getting speed out of the corners is the key here.

1.hollydog954...1m.34.12(unofficial)
2.Vuko Snr.......1m.34.88(unofficial)

have more in the car but need to work on setup. maybe get into the low 33's

Still haven't done the "perfect" lap. This circuit is a hard one to get 100% right every lap.

Corner cutting really a pain on qualifying...

Clean race, but think I could have taken corner 14 a bit faster. Made a few goofs and overshot a few apexes, but a fun race. I have a newfound respect frot his track :up:

Times due tomorrow midnight.....

I shouldn't be much of a challenge for you here...

I had 30 minutes this afternoon to qualify and finish the race. I've lately been finding it really difficult to game in the middle of the night.

Also think I'm burnt out on TRD3....taking a break in 08

[harvick#1]

I just turned it on, spent about 10 minutes on a few setups, ran the car loose and that thing would turn great, if you can hit the apexs right, you will fly around these F1 tracks

request extension until this evening please

[tannat]

request extension until this evening please

you got it :up:

[johnny shell]

done.

might've been able to make it with no stops... but would REALLY have to watch the tires.

and what fun would that be?

finally feel like I started to 'get' this track and it's rythem

and I must say it's not bad

not bad at all

[tannat]

Results within 4 hours guys... :D

[johnny shell]

I'm thinking I should have gone for no stops. it would cost 3 seconds a lap maybe but that's 30 seconds over the race.... stopping takes longer than that.

[tannat]

PiotrB takes another pole in the TRD3 International GT series over a sceond ahead of outside pole winner Peter Vuko. The Corvette of hollydog narrowly missed the front row by less than 3/10ths of a second followed by the TVR of BobZee and the Corvette of Johnny Shell.

Harvick takes a resounding class pole in Category 2 over 4 seconds ahead of Tannat :S

[tannat]

Tied again at the top as it appears the season will become a close battle between PiotrB and Robzee/Bobzee :D

Can't discount Peter Vuko-trailing by 10 points with 4 rounds remaining.

Don't forget-your worst scoring round will be dropped with only 8 rounds of 9 counting towards the championship.

NEXT ROUND DETAILS TO BE POSTED MONDAY, JANUARY 28TH.....

[johnny shell]

ahhhh... another distant last in class!

oh well. doesn't make it any less fun.

retards enjoy driving fast as much as the next guy :D

[Peter Vuko]

Looks like BobZee made it through without a pit stop again......I pitted at the end of lap 5.....I had a go at trying to go through without a pitstop in a practice race but my tyres blew at the end of lap 8....BobZee obviously has a car set up that preserves tyre wear....he went through last Rd at Hockenheim without a pit as well....well done BobZee....I'm happy with second place...nice to beat Piotr for a change!

[hollydog954]

well done robzee. will have to try this no pit stop :)

[PiotrB]

Rob/Bobzee - nice win, Peter Vuko - good drive.

I pittted at the end of 6 lap. I have a few problems with lapping other cars. In the next round I'll try to do a race without pit stop.
