It was a fun race. I was on the edge of my butt the whole time.

I'm upset I had to miss this. I inadvertently poisoned myself while changing a faucet out. The caulk I was using gave off strong toxic vapors. I had an extremely strong migraine.

Was the racing fairly tight throughout?

Surprisingly, no one crashed on the first corner. It was fairly spread out, but not too much.

I figured it would spread like that. Impressive, not spinouts on the first lap. How'd you do?

I had a good battle with Camaroboy68ss and wound up winning (muahahaha).

I have the replay on my storefront if you want to watch it.

Never mind, it won't let me upload it. I'm sure someone else saved it.

Yay you missed my Orlove in the mustang! Still lots of good pics of the race.

Looks fun guys.....looks really fun....

You Orlove'd? I didn't know anyone Orlove'd.

Yeah it was the reason you pulled away from me

Ooooh now I remember. You want me to upload a picture of it?

1-4th were about 3 seconds apart and 6-9th were about the same, actually a lot closer than I thought it'd be.

Not too much disparity in those times, we really have a good thing going in these two series.

When Sixza comes out, will there be an Oppo competition for that?

SVTyler > ly2v8-Brian 01/31/2015 at 19:44

Yeah it's actually working out really well. We still have those pockets of 3-4 people racing each other instead of the whole field together but it's a damn sight better than the GT cars last year.

I guess it depends on whether or not Forza 6 will have fun multiplayer.

ly2v8-Brian > SVTyler 01/31/2015 at 19:53

yes, and last week's bout at Motegi was great. Just about the entire field within a few seconds of each other.

I really wanna take part in these, but there is ZERO chance I'll get a 360. Soon I'll get an xbone, though.

Good god. This looks amazing. The fact that I can't make any of these is downright heartbreaking.

I came so close to getting first, but I couldn't stay consistent. >_<
Well, third's a lot better than getting dead middle again. Congrats on your win, dude.

I'm gonna need to rewatch the replay sometime to see that "battle in the back" those guys were talking about.

Also, great pics.

What cars were in the field?

A shitload of Camaros.

Other cars.

Someone else Orlove'd in the race, did you see on the replay who it was?

TheHondaBro > SVTyler 01/31/2015 at 22:00

Shit, it's ten laps at Le Mans. I didn't take pictures of the whole thing!

SVTyler > TheHondaBro 01/31/2015 at 22:06

Lazy bastard, I watched all of the available footage for the 24 Laps of Le Mans we did in June so I could get as many perfect pictures as possible. Sounds like someone isn't taking his role of official photographer very seriously...

Seriously you remember who it was, though? I think it was one of the new guys but I'm not sure...

TheHondaBro > SVTyler 01/31/2015 at 22:08

I... didn't know I was the official photographer. I'm humbled!

You should be, it's a very prestigious position. Pay's not that great but you get to work from home and have a really flexible schedule so it evens out in the end. Plus you're like the only dude who seems to save replays on the regular so you seem like the perfect man for the job so get out there and take the best possible photographs you can son, make me and your mother proud.

sigh. One day classic Australian cars (or any of them) will get the representation they deserve in gaming. I

4 Camaros, 4 Mustangs, and a few random Mopars.

Aww yeah my little pony that could but couldn't on the straights

Awesome post! The AMC fan in me was really hoping to see a Javelin in the mix. Maybe next time.

Man I totally wish I could be there. I loved racing with you guys.

SVTyler > BaseTrim 02/05/2015 at 08:48

If you don't mind me asking, what exactly do you do that you can't ask off work? Or at least switch shifts with anyone? Not to like rub salt in the wound but these series are ridiculously competitive, this was what the finishing times were at Le Mans last week:

Shit's intense, yo.

BaseTrim > SVTyler 02/05/2015 at 08:58

Haha! It's ok to rub a little salt. I work at a company in Austin, TX called Austin MacWorks and when I do Saturday shifts there I'm on from 10am till 6pm, can't really change the length of the shift just due to the nature of the scheduling. Then, if I'm not at MacWorks I'm out at the Circuit of the Americas where I am a tour guide and that schedule keeps me out at the track till about 4pm. Frowny face.

Also, GOOD GOD THOSE TIMES. Such close.

SVTyler > BaseTrim 02/05/2015 at 09:09

Oh God I can't even imagine how busy you guys are fixing all the Austin hipsters' MacBooks, no wonder you can't ask off. We've been starting around 4:30 (waiting for Parlock to get home from work) and could potentially start even later for the days you work at COTA, I'll ask during this week's race. We've started at like 5 before and no one's really had a problem with it.

And yeah, dem times. Been like that since the start of the season.

BaseTrim > SVTyler 02/05/2015 at 09:25

Haha. Yeah, lots of hipsters. I will definitely see what I can do about the days I work out at COTA but I do the MacWorks shift 90% of the time. Maybe next season we could do the double series thing again and have one of them go during a different time of day? It would be awesome to have a night racing branch and a weekend racing one as well. I was even hoping to get a little sponsorship for this season.

SVTyler > BaseTrim 02/05/2015 at 09:33

We could definitely start later next series, maybe like 8pm or something, we only chose 4 because me (who doesn't work there anymore) and Wrath (who kinda stopped racing with us) worked at like 6pm on Saturdays. Probably keep it on Saturdays though, seems like that was the best time for everyone involved.

And sponsorship?

BaseTrim > SVTyler 02/05/2015 at 09:39

Nice. That would be awesome to have one race that falls during more conventiona leisure hours. Yeah, I work for at COTA alas well as a company that rents racing sims for events. I'm also pretty good friends with a few of the Jalopnik folks here in Austin. I figured I could get a few things together from each of those to sweeten the pot for the champs at the end of the season.

I'll see what the rest of the guys want to do for next season, shouldn't be a problem to move the time around. And that's really cool of you to offer something like that, we'd appreciate anything you could do.
