Used to be in the position that I am now.

(Lemme set one thing straight, though, there is more decent material in LLM than just me. Sobis, imudilaskyline and xfirestorm are worth keeping a lookout for, they're just being overshadowed by the attention from the usual suspects )

I like the look of it. Why the hell did Toyota take so damn long, feeding us with those ugly-painted F1 cars? I really hope this goes as well as it looks, because if it does, it will win Le Mans first time round!
Anyway, onto more serious stuff...such as, where are the Peugeot drivers going now? Some of them have signed with Toyota, but there's drivers like Lamy who don't have a seat in a winning candidate for next year's Le Mans race.

PS for the forum whores: I only mentioned Lamy because he's the only one from the Peugeot lot that I remember, not by national pride.

If everything goes to plan during this year (i.e: no one in the team acts like an idiot or degrades the team in some way in a hateful act), hopefully that will happen!
Although I'm pretty sure that this year won't go without any mistakes as proven by sunday's SuperGT race. Let's just hope that 2012 will be a year with less balls-ups and outrageous remarks, and more jokes that make sense and cause a giggle or two!

SuperGT Series Round 5 - Aston Cup Circuit (AS22): The Review of a Bittersweet Race Day


For Round 5 of the series and with a brand new mindset following the Aston 24h flop, Last Lap Motorsports went on an even tighter practice schedule to make sure that it wasn't going to be knocked off into the sidelines yet again, before the main event even begins.

And that's how I start this review: A long week and a half full of practice, occupying our free time by getting as ready as we could be for this very important race. We had our reasons for this:
  1. This was a new track for the drivers involved, so it was important to get some track time with the car, skimming the track in as much detail as possible before getting into improving our lap times and making some tweaks to the setup;
  2. The FX300 actually had a fighting chance against both the FZ300 and XR300, so we would be IDIOTS if we didn't make the best out of this chance;
  3. We have failed to qualify for the last 2 rounds, when our objective at the beginning of the season was to fight for a spot in the Top 10. I know it's a bit over the top, but if you don't aim high, you're not going anywhere. And it doesn't really matter if it's too high an objective or not, the fact still stands.
For this race, we decided not to take too many risks at anything, (knowing how they usually tend to end in a sadly typical LLM balls-up), apart from a change in our driver lineup.
We brought in Joe Letteriello, a relatively green driver in LFS racing, who was willing to put in a lot of time and effort into practicing, honing his skills, listening to his teammate's feedback and also giving his own, thus helping to develop the car and improve both his and his teammate's times. So, needless to say now, this was a risk that was definitely worth taking.

So, on to the races! We went into the Qualifying Heat ready to battle, as we were starting off the Top 5, so we knew from the start that we would have to push. And so we did. The start was worrying, as Rui Pinto bogged it down and lost some positions, and for a moment, things weren't looking too good, but he took no time to get to work and getting them back as he fought wheel-to-wheel, and then caught up to the Top 5, who were fighting with each other. By the time Pinto got up to 6th place, Tiger Express Motorsports (who were ahead) went out of the race and the entry to the Main Race was almost in the bag, but to show everyone that Last Lap Motorsports were not going into the Main Race by pure luck again, Pinto overtook MAFIA Racing for 4th position and pulled away without looking back, and that's where the LLM car stayed until the finish line.

With the Qualifying Heat out of the way and entry granted into the Main Event, it was time to post a time for the GT300 grid. Things didn't go as well as in the qualifying heat, as a hardcore run for qualifying didn't pay off, and the car was qualified in 13th out of 15 cars.

And things kept going not so well for the Main Race. The GT300 rolling start was a bit of a mess as the field wasn't bunched up and, in a case of bad timing, Pinto started slowing down as soon as the Green Flag was out and as a result, went into the first corner dead last. Until the end of his stint, Pinto fought as hard as possible to keep up with the pack and get as many positions as possible, too hard sometimes.

On with the race, by about lap 8, LLM was up to 12th and fighting with PLZ for position when the GT500 started lapping, and that pretty much ended up ruining our race as far as going up the order was concerned, and after a mistake we were down to 14th in class. Pinto spent the next laps catching up to the cars ahead, and by the time he was pressuring the PLZ #61 and SR #53, the GT500 cars came up yet again and made things a bit more difficult by costing a handful of seconds, some of them slipping up, others just barging in where they really shouldn't and that had Pinto doing whatever he could not to cause further trouble (LLM has enough trouble already). From then on, the race was a bit dull, and before the hour limit could be reached, Pinto gave the car over for Joe Letteriello to take to the finish. Letteriello made a mistake while trying to take over and pushed the name button, sending a chat message and therefore having the team suffer a DT penalty, which further hindered our progress during the race, which strategy had gotten us up to 10th along with some unusual server problems that damaged some frontrunners' races. As soon as that DT was out of the way, Letteriello set off towards making up lost time and regaining positions, but the field was already spread out too far for our pace to be able to mount another comeback. So, for the rest of the race we had to stick to 13th place, where we ended up finishing, but all in all I guess we are happy enough to finish and score a couple of points. But without some mistakes, and some nervous moves (I was a bit nervous during both races) it could have been much, much better.

Apologies go to the PLZ-Italia #61, who we almost rolled over after a first-lap incident and had a couple of nudges later on, and Glowing Pistons #75, whose race we probably ruined and I'll take full responsibility for it.

Quote from Yuri Laszlo :Here's what I believe might come off Williams' hunt for a new title sponsor next year. Following are a 1024 and 2048px versions along with promotional half arsed 3d render.

Might as well stick some Embratel and Gillette logos in there now that they found a 2nd driver.

Quote from tinvek :the other thing is how people are saying it's great to see the name senna in a williams powered by renault again- as nick daman pointed out, that didn't end so well last time

I believe that nothing is impossible and everything can happen, and I'm not too optimistic about Senna doing amazing miracles at Williams, but I'm pretty sure it's not going to end like it did the last time

Now, here are my predicitons:
1. Who will win drivers' world championship: Sebastian Vettel...again.
2. Which team will win constructors' world championship: Red Bull-RENAULT
3. How do you think Brüno Senna will do in 2012 (rate 1-10): 7
4. How do you think Kimi Räikkönen will do in 2012 (rate 1-10): 6.5
5. How do you think Nico Hulkenberg will do in 2012 (rate 1-10): 7
6. How do you think Romain Grosjean will do in 2012 (rate 1-10): 7.5
7. First driver you think will lose his drive during 2012: Whoever's sponsors get too cheap to pay.
8. Will Caterham score points in 2012: Yes.
9. Do you think Massa will win at least one race in 2012? With team orders allowed? Not a chance. Sadly.
10. Does Kubica drive F1 car before the last race? With a shitload of luck? Maybe.
11: Winner of Australian gp: Mark Webber
12. Winner of American gp: Lewis Hamilton
13. How many points will the dwc winning driver have at the end of the season: 295

let the Senna fanboys talk about how "magical" this is right now Truth is, Bruno Senna will be bringing in a fair load of sponsors with him and linking a Senna with Williams again might just be another (albeit desperate) way of attracting more sponsorship.

Oh yeah, and guess who just landed a gig at Sky!

Quote from Gills4life :The XRR Corvette sound is in the S2 soundpack, although don't expect it to sound perfect as it's not easy to get a V8 sound out of an inline 4.

It's not as hard as getting a V8 engine out of an inline 6. But again, they're even more different than a V8 and an L4 engine.
LFS definitely needs to stop going green and start releasing cars with big engines instead of these little turbo-rockets.

I feel a bit gutted.
In one side, I'm glad I didn't cause too much trouble for anyone else, maybe apart from holding up Bjornson at Turn 3; and I managed to avoid all the wrecks with little damage, but while trying to do that, I balls'd up the downshifts and gave myself some nice engine damage...twice. Which explains how I couldn't even keep up with Rony after he got past me with 2 laps to go.

It could have been a lot better than 23rd but I'm still glad I finished.

Quote from reigga :NDR.Poozak

Shame there weren't any moar drivers tonight but oh well, of course Kings' had to be dumb enough to book their GT3 cup on the same weekend as this race even when Deko had booked the date earlier than them apparently. Typical

GT3 Schedule - I'm not coming to the Kings' defense, but look at the post date and next time, get your facts right before you start slagging people off, son. And I know many people who still managed to do their GT3 stints and make it to the heat races on time.
