RACE #1 Motegi East - 30 Laps

Interesting map Harry. I never quite got how the thing combined the two circuits and split up the road courses, but now I do. This race should be fun.

I'm getting 27's consistently in the Nissan, but hope to figure my way into the 26s by race day. Harry, you are KILLING me with those 25s.

I dont know how many of those I am hitting IN RACE. Testing and hotlapping are one thing. When the preverbial shit hits the fan on track, you dont always get that preferred line. This is why I have been practicing wide lines and shortbraking. Hell - I even smashed up my car on purpose in one run just to simulate damage on the car.

Oh Shit, that's right. You, me, and TRex in the same class. I better practice that wrecking and racing strategy too. lol.

Interestingly, these cars have high aero. I hope incidents are looked at carefully, but that's just my opinion. They seem like sedans but they aren't. Deceptive, sorta like DTM.

Who is ready for tonight! Not this guy - got to jump in for final practice and get my shifting down again! Too much ticket to ride and Cataan! The original nerds are just looking to finish strong to get that team title in gt300! Is there anyone running a Nissan besides October? The Lone Ranger!

Make sure you are online and accept your invites. Qualifying will be at 9:30, room built up by 9:15 to go over series setup and rules.

Any issues must be addressed to myself with an incident report.

Any other questions, feel free to PM me prior to the drivers meeting and I will get it answered tonite!

Good luck and have fun! Collisions will be reviewed so do not blow up in the game or retaliate, which I know you will not do.

Damn, these little dudes have nearly as much downforce as the DTM cars. Can I start last? Wait...I don't need to request that. lol.

lol October!!!

Sorry Harry, this race I will not make... Going to see Lewis Black. Prepared to take any points penalty for missing the race... Will make the rest of the series...

Have come home to no cable or Internet. Storm outages that they are working on!

am in the nissan

I have to run this race. Harry's modem got struck by lightening. Del, if you would like me to postpone the race, for whatever reason, please let me know. Otherwise, please be patient guys, as this is my first time running a Forza lobby. Thanks.

october u want 2 team up sayn were the only nissans

youl be fine mate

Sure stace. as long as you are ok with an under-performing teammate.

Roger Del. Thanks.

nb will c u on the track

Well done to all the drivers who made it, and thanks for being patient with me during my first Forza hosting gig resulting in a last minute request from Harry. BTW, could someone please send him the replay...I was too busy taking pictures of the results.

Congratulations Luongo. Fast as usual. From what I could see waaaaaay in the back, it was a clean race yet very competitive. Sounds like the designs are close. I hope team Nissan300 can get the Subies on the track soon to compare.

Thanks again,
October.

Lot of fun n great race. Thank you for hosting October

Have wifi, but my hard wired modem needs to be repaired tomorrow by Time Warner before I can actually get on the game.

Until then - lots of updating online and Star Trek The Original Series.

Sorry Russ, I'd have included you, but I was a bit rushed last night and just sent Harry the screen shots of the finishing order.

Thanks Del, a bit nervous, and sorry for the mic issues (thanks Forza).
