Awesome race!  The cars definitely seemed evenly matched and I was so happy to see such a large turnout.  Sometimes you guys make me so happy I just wanna :'(

 

Official results from race #1 will be posted later today.

I was looking forward to getting back on the track, so I'm sorry I missed this.  Last night I sent a message to the guy on eBay I bought the last shifter from in hopes I can get another soon.  Haven't heard back from him, but I doubt I'll make the next one, but am looking forward to the third race.

Sorry about my Romain Grosjean start.

I'm a bit amazed that you were so drunk, haha.  You had the fastest lap of the race!  1:36.105.  You beat my best, 1:36.145 by 0.040 seconds


Perhaps you're an occasional drunken race master...just not long enough for a whole race

Results posted on first page.  Lap count for race #2 is also up!!  :)

I'm still at a loss about my 458 situation.  I have one car that I had intended to use but did not. That is stuck at 588hp. The one I did use did make it to the 592 limit.

458 #1 has just over 200 miles on it and was purchased in December of 2010.  I've only used it at one drive in and practice for last night's race. In its current state I cannot change oil or do an engine refresh.  The car appears to be stuck at 588hp. 

458 #2 I bought last night.  At 161 miles it had 589hp.  At the end of the race it had 589hp and 260ish miles on the car.  One oil change later it was up to 592hp.


For the next few days any one is welcome to see for themselves.  I've shared both cars.  The white one is my original 458 and the Pink one is the one I used last night repainted for the upcoming race.

I've never come across a car that needed more than 200 miles to fully break in but I send one of the Bobs out with the car on Saturday and see what another 200 miles will do.

The lesson may be don't trust the cars you bought back in 2010.  :-\

Also the race was a lot of fun.  I'm looking forward to the next one.  :laugh

Coincidentally enough, I drove past a McLaren MP4-12C on the afternoon drive home from work today.  What a coincidence :o

Was it parked on the side of the road, out of gas? ;D

Also great turn out and great race too!  I managed to hang up with the front group for a few laps then I started to make the odd silly little mistake that eventually led to a bigger mistake and finally an entirely boneheaded blunder where by I crashed into the pit wall due to too much speed coming in for my 2nth stop and had to do another lap on bad tires.

Still, was fub.. goos times!

I'm mystified as well. I bought a new 458 a week ago and put about 100 miles on it. Had it up to 584. Then I put another 75 miles on it and it went down to 577hp. With only 175 miles on it and it goes down?  Gave it an oil change and at race start was at 582.

I think I did ok considering a 6-10 go disadvantage not to mention it was my 1rd race since June 26.

Good fun Dawson and I think even though I hate Laguna seca I think the 458 will rock there.

Congrats to all of the podium racers and I want to protest the drunk guys result. I think he handed me 10th .

my McLaren is now Imperial Green Metallic. Special thanks goes to Peyepete (did anyone else notice he has 4 e's in his name?) who sent a couple of 45gal (205litre for those on metric) drums of that most wondrous colour

As sorta stated above next week’s color will be Matte Pink.

Thanks to a special deal between Sitting Duck Racing and the F. B. I. (not to be cornfused with the "FBI"), we’ll be honoring the unofficial breast awareness week by dressing the car all in pink. During this upcoming week's festivities feel free to stop by the Sitting Duck souvenir both where we will have exclusive toys, clothing and collectables in which all proceeds will go to advance awareness of this great cause. 


Sitting Duck Racing is proud to be able rise to the occasion and be a part of such an important program.

Just a heads up on the weight ballast thing.
There were 3 or 4 of us left in the post race room Wednesday night and we switched the track over to Laguna. I thought I would try adding my ballast to see what the car was like.

It would appear that adding weight is considered to be tuning, as the game would not allow me on track with the extra weight.

There may be more options, but two I can think of.
1-reduce horsepower (this could possibly end up improving tire wear though).
2-just use the honor system and turn off the 'no tuning' button.

Thanks Dawson for putting this series up. With the ballast penalties, it has the potential for a very close points race at the end.

Should make for some goos times indeed!

^good point, and I have considered that.  I think we can use the honor system.
