R3

So, i have been driving mostly R3 cars lately and was wondering if folks would be interested in any events featuring some of these cars. Folks may have noticed I don't really organize much lately. That's due to personal time issues but I have grown fond of these full on race cars and don't really see much being done with them. The potential for series ideas is fantastic. To be quite honest, I have found that some of the tuned cars in this game can be even harder to drive than the full on race cars. No offense to anyone out there because I'm including my own tunes in that bunch. So if anyone is interested in some of my ideas just chirp in here and I'll come up with something. If you're not interested please don't post. If you are but feel intimidated by the race cars, let me know. I would not be opposed to using an across the board handicap to make things more "user friendly". Shoot, I may need it myself. LOL Your interest is appreciated.

What's up with tonight?  Is anyone going to be on?  I'll start up a lobby if anyone wants to join in.  I have two well matched cars in mind.  2005 BMW M3 GTR versus a 2005 (white lightning) 911 GT3 RSR.  Stock, so guys can grab the showroom versions if they don't already have them. 

 

Anyone?

EDIT:  The #2 2005 BMW M3 GTR versus The #31 2005 Petersen - White Lightning 911 GT3 RSR

So, a few fellas jumped in and ran several races with me. The racing was great! Those R3 cars are fun and some of them match up quite nicely. We ran the BMW against the Porsche but then mixed it up and ran Fords versus Corvettes. Thanks to .. Oldschool Stewieshead Turbomoose CaptainNasties. I plan on running another shakedown next week.

Sorry I missed it guys.  OldSchool pinged me, but I cannot do any multiplayer Xbox until my Warhead headset arrives next week.  My CSR Elite doesn't work at all with my Turle Beach headset and even the M$ headset is not a good solution.  When I use it, I piss off my wife because I have to run game sound through the monitor and I can barely hear the chat of others.

It sucks that I had to drop $315 to get working chat, but such is life.  I will be back!!!!

I have some I can bring. Though most of my R3 are street cars that have been uprated and (not so) fine-tuned. I will be slower in the corners, so I'd appreciate if people would be mindful of that.

I'll have an excuse for taking my R3 800 Mitsubishi FTO LM Gran Turismo replica out. :D

Duqe, I am running stock R3 full on race cars out of the showroom. I try to find good match ups then folks can choose to run one or the other. I hope your still interested. Guys, I'm also going to throw in some AI R1 cars and let them get a head start so they can lap us. It's kinda cool to have them bearing down on us and then overtake us. It didn't quite work out the other day but I'll refine it a bit. If I'm in a lobby it's probably what I'm doing so feel free to join in.

I'll be running R3 races tonight if anyone is interested.  We'll be running cars out of the showroom and I'll be setting up some AI R1 cars.  There will be a delayed start for the AI so they will come up on us.  Should be interesting.  The AI are actually rather well behaved when I run this in a private lobby.  Come join me guys.

Some great racing tonight fellas. The LMP cars weren't too bad at Road America. Next time we'll get rid of the Chevy R1 cars. They were tough to deal with on the tighter tracks. I'll do another shake down session next week and then sort out a quick 4 or 5 race series. I'm guessing there will be a Ford GT, a Vette, a 911 GT3 RSR and a Lambo. :-) I'll also figure a way to get the McLaren and the Panoz a little more competitive. Hope to see you guys next Friday! Oldschool, I have to work out a way to set up the lobby so we can all run our own cars with paint instead of showroom stuff.

Hey guys, Friday we will be pitting the following cars against one another for a few races: #2 Gruppe Orange 911 GT3 Cup #35 Back Falcon SLS ANG GT3 Viper Competition Coupe BMW Z4 GT3 They will be stock so don't go out and spend the credits. Just grab one out of the showroom. If you've already got one of these and want to show off some paint just strip off any extra parts and return her to stock set up (I don't think settings matter, they just can't have upgraded parts). After we check these out why don't we have a "main event"? Say...12-15 laps at Infineon Long? Ford GT Mk7 versus Corvette versus 911 GT3-RSR versus #08 Lambo Gallardo versus BMW M3 GT2

Not sure yet. Just kinda seeing how they stack up against each other for now. Seems like the minute I mention series things get a little complicated. Just tooling around for now and seeing what these cars are all about.

Snappy sorry I`m missing soo many races recently, I`m refurbishing my kitchen, and I mean, I`M doing it all myself al la DIY!

I lugged the 250lb fridge freezer in earlier today, broke my back, but hope to break the back of the job sometime in September!

To be honest, I f@#king love DIY! It gives me a sense of accomplishment, and its so different from my normal  job.
